Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof lands on clean glass. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work across South Carolina, and on most Irmo homes the spring and fall visits are the two that matter most.
Priced by stories, not by a visit. The bundle costs less than two trips, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Window cleaning services in Irmo are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both gutters and exterior glass done in one visit cost less than booking the two jobs separately. Cleaning solutions for the glass are part of the number we quote, and the number we give you by phone or text is the number we charge, with no add-ons appearing after the crew arrives.
On our jobs, the quote moves for the same few reasons. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high number of panes add to the glass work. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line sits in the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we call that out on the visit rather than charging for it as a surprise. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how the number usually ends up for one job. Last spring a two-story house with a shaded back run and a sprinkler hitting the front glass came in higher than the same house without those problems, because the back gutter needed a second pass and the glass needed the mineral spots addressed. We would rather tell you that on the phone than after the ladder is up. Send a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us how many stories it is, and we will give you the exact number that covers the work.
Ask for a written estimate before you book, and we will put the scope in writing with the window count and the stories listed. If you have a home with regular cleanings already on the schedule, let us know, because that changes what we look at. Our crew can also do the rest of the outside of the house when the schedule allows, so give us the full list of what you want done when you call (866) 435-6328.

|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |

For context, nationally. Angi puts the average US gutter cleaning at $168, most homeowners paying $119 to $234 (Angi, 2026). Exterior-only window cleaning runs roughly $4 to $10 per window, or $100 to $250 for a typical home, with $3 to $5 per window more on upper stories (Angi, HomeGuide, via Google AI Overview, Oct 2026). Priced by stories, the most common model, a two-story gutter cleaning sits around $150 to $300 nationally. If a quote you are holding sits far outside these, ask what is driving it.
On every house we work, the first scoop out of a gutter ends up on the wall below it. We put the glass last so it ends up there once.
Gutters first, glass last. That is the order on every job our crew does, and it is the reason we book both with one crew instead of sending two.
What we see from the ladder. When we clear a run, the leaves, the grit and the black water that sits under them come down the wall and across any window below it. Flushing a downspout throws more of it, in a stream, onto the panes beside the outlet. If the glass was washed first, someone has to wash them again before we are off the ladder. So we do the roof blow-off, clear the gutters, flush every downspout, give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. The panes under the downspout outlets are the last ones we touch on the house.
Two things we do differently from a window-only crew. We rinse the siding under each run before we move to the glass, so nothing left on the wall washes down onto it in the first rain. And we do the top-floor glass from the same ladder position as the gutter run, one setup per side of the house, which is where the bundle saving comes from: no second trip, no second setup.
Downspouts flushed, screens rinsed, sills wiped, bags hauled. None of it shows up as a line item.
Gutters. Roof blow-off where debris sits above the gutter line. Every run hand-cleared, not just the visible stretch from the ground. Every downspout flushed with water until it runs clear, and a blocked one cleared on the spot where it can be reached from above. A downspout that feeds a buried drain line is checked at the outlet; clearing the buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it. Debris bagged and taken away. Before-and-after photos of each run, sent to you before the crew leaves.
Windows, exterior only. Every reachable pane on the outside of the house, cleaned with a water-fed pole and purified water so the glass dries without streaks or towel lint. Frames wiped. Screens taken down, hand-rinsed and put back on request. Sills wiped. Upper-story windows done from the pole, not from a ladder leaned on the siding.
Not included, and we say so up front. Interior glass. Hard-water or sprinkler staining etched into the glass, which needs a separate mineral treatment and is quoted after the crew sees it. Post-construction paint, stickers or stucco. Skylights and solar panels. Pressure washing of siding, decks or driveways. Gutter guards: if a run is covered, lifting and reseating the guard adds time and is quoted by the foot before the visit, never on the day.
Twice a year for both, and the same two months, which is why one visit covers it.
On our Irmo jobs most customers book these cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen drop and once in the fall after the leaves are down, so one crew in one visit makes sense for both. Across South Carolina the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, and in Irmo the fall visit falls in November to early December.
Spring is when we see the pollen and the grime that comes with it. It coats south-facing glass in a yellow film, and in the gutters it turns into a paste that packs the downspout elbows. Fall is when the leaf load comes down, a wet mat that sits in the run and sags under its own weight by winter, which is how clogged gutters start. Across South Carolina, hurricanes and tropical remnants bring the heaviest rain events, Charleston and the Grand Strand take direct hits, and we adjust the calendar when a storm has just gone through.
Some homes need a third visit. Multi-story buildings and houses under heavy tree cover keep the gutters loaded through the year, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grit on the glass, so a visit in the middle of the year helps remove dirt before it bakes on. A gutter that stays full through the wet months is where water damage can start at the fascia. Irmo gets about 45 inches of rain a year, and June, August and September are the wettest months. On those houses we plan for three visits, and we tell you after the first one which schedule your home actually needs.
A customer on the twice-a-year plan with few trees and a clear sprinkler line gets the simplest schedule, while a customer under heavy trees or with sprinkler spotting runs on three or four visits. Ask us to walk through both when you call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the schedule for your house.
You can tell the windows need cleaning when a haze shows up only when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain, which is the first sign the run is full and the downspout cannot keep up.
Most two-story homes are done in a morning. You do not need to be there, and you get the photos either way.
The crew calls the day before with a two-hour arrival window, and again when they are on the way.
How long. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical house. Exterior windows on the same house run about the same again or a little more, so plan on a morning for a two-story home and most of a day for three stories or a house with a lot of glass. Gutters that have not been touched in years, steep roofs and wraparound porches run longer.
Before the crew arrives. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, so the glass is dry and the ground is not mud. Move cars off the driveway if windows face it. Keep pets inside while ladders are up. Unlock side gates. Nothing else; the crew brings its own water and power.
While they work. Gutters first, glass last, as described above. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. If something cannot be reached safely (a pane over a sunroom roof, a gutter run behind a tree limb) the crew photographs it and tells you rather than guessing.
After. Photos of every gutter run and the finished glass, sent by text or email before the crew leaves. The invoice matches the number quoted on the phone.
Send a photo and we tell you what it is. No argument about whether it rained.
Streaks. Purified water dries clean; a streak means something was missed, and that is on us. Send us a photo of it and we tell you what it is.
Spots that come back. Round white spots that return a day after cleaning are mineral deposits from sprinklers or hard water etched into the glass, not dirt. Cleaning cannot remove them; a mineral treatment can. The crew flags it on the visit so you are not surprised.
Rain the next day. Rain is distilled water and does not dirty clean glass by itself; what spots glass after rain is dust already on the frame or screen washing down. That is why frames and screens are done, not just the pane. If it looks worse after a storm, send the photo and we look at it.
Overflow after a cleaning. If a gutter runs clean and still sheets water over the edge in the next rain, the cause is slope, a sagging hanger or an undersized downspout, not debris. The crew notes what it saw and tells you; cleaning it again will not fix it, and we will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Your house. Ladder stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip or dents the siding. Screens go back in the window they came out of.
Neighborhood by neighborhood, with a lead time we say out loud, and a call before the truck turns in.
Our crew provides professional window cleaning and gutter work across the Irmo area and works in the city as a whole, with the service covering residential window and gutter cleaning on houses of every size. We clean the outside of residential properties and the exterior of every window that can be reached from the ground or a pole, and we also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners who want the roof done separately. For residential and commercial questions, call and we will tell you whether the job fits our crew.
Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. Give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will tell you the approximate window count and the number for the job. Lead time is listed on the booking page for your address. When the calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, the slots go first, so call early to schedule service for a particular week.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we call again on the way. If the schedule requires the house to be entered for anything, we let you know in advance and get your okay first. Our goal is to make the job easy to schedule and simple to finish, and we want every window and gutter run to get the same care from the first pane to the last. Call (866) 435-6328 to start the schedule.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both, so the gutters are cleared before the glass is touched. That way the leaves, grit and runoff are not running down the wall onto clean windows, and the work is done in one visit.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we will quote the job before anyone is on a ladder.
On houses and condos here the outside takes the most punishment, with pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots building up on the glass. Cleaning the windows inside does not remove any of that, and the outside is what shapes curb appeal and where the visible haze comes from.
Most of our Irmo customers book in the spring after the pollen drop and again in the fall after the leaves are down. Across South Carolina the spring visit usually falls in mid to late April, and in Irmo the fall visit lands in November to early December.
Not on our jobs, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. When the gutters are cleared before the windows, the grit and black water have nowhere to run onto the clean panes.
Our washing services cover the screens, sills and frames as part of the exterior job: screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned. Tracks are included in the visit unless they are packed with debris that needs extra time.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not quote interior and exterior glass as one job. Pressure washing is not part of this visit, so tell us when you call if you want it handled separately.
No, you do not need to be home for exterior work. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
