Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our James Island jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when the pollen and leaf loads build up.
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.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking window and gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-ons appearing later on the invoice. Customers on regular cleanings get the same quote each time once the house is on file.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. A large window count or oversized picture windows adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take more hauling. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a treatment that regular cleaning will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions and purified water are part of the quote, not a separate charge.
Getting the exact number is simple. Send us a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will work out the window count from there. Ask for a written estimate before we book, so you know the full scope of the job. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through the numbers, or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we see before we set a date.

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 James Island jobs, most customers book professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning services twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across South Carolina the pattern is the same: the tree and leaf seasons drive the timing.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and sticky tree residue packs into the gutters. In fall, the leaf load arrives, and clogged gutters form when wet leaves mat in the runs. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we check the roofline before we confirm a slot.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings take more time on the ladder, so they get a longer slot. Heavy tree cover over the roof brings needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. Gutters that overflow for a full season can lead to water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction picks up extra dust on the frames.
Windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain. Either sign is a good reason to call. Clean glass and clear gutters also keep the curb appeal of the house up between visits.
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.
We clean residential properties and exterior glass across James Island, and we bring the same crew to every stop. Every residential window gets the same purified-water rinse, and every window is checked before the crew leaves. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the window count and a visit date. Most slots open within the lead time we quote on the call.
The busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills fastest. Booking window and gutter cleaning early in those months gives you a better choice of date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside without entering the house. You get photos of every gutter run and of each clean window before the truck leaves.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the runoff does not land on clean panes.
Our washing services are priced from the stories and the size of the house. Send us a text with the stories and a photo of the front, and we will give you a number by text or phone. Mixed residential and commercial properties are a different quote, so ask on the call and we will say whether the crew can take them.
On our jobs here, the outside carries the tree dust, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots. Cleaning the windows inside does not remove grime that builds up on the exterior between visits, and only an outside wash will remove dirt from the frames.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, after the early-spring bloom, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Condos and multi-story buildings are booked on the same calendar, and the stories count sets the visit length. Across South Carolina that pattern holds for most houses, with the spring visit usually in mid to late April and the fall visit in late October to November.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, flushing each run, then wait a few minutes for the wall to dry before we start on the glass. That is the reason for the order.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, and none of these are billed as separate extras on the invoice.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass need different work, and this visit covers the exterior only. Pressure washing is not part of this service either, so we do not do it here.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while 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.
