Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips.
Across South Carolina, most of the homes we service are booked for spring and fall, and our Lake Wylie crew works the same way. Bring us your stories and a rough window count and we will give you the number we will charge before we ever leave the driveway.
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.
The price comes from stories, window count and what is in the gutters. We quote it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice. The bundle is cheaper than booking the two jobs separately, because one crew sets up once and works the house in one pass, and our window cleaning services are priced the same way.
On our jobs, the quote moves most when a house has a third story or a roof too steep to walk, when it has picture windows and oversized panes that take more time per square foot, and when the gutters have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, and no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and the gutter work is priced to remove dirt from every run, not just the stretch you can see. This quote covers exterior glass only, so an interior and exterior job is a separate booking with its own number. Pricing here is for residential properties, and residential and commercial buildings are quoted separately.
We have seen one Lake Wylie job come in higher than the estimate it started with, because a rear run turned out to be full of grime that the phone call could not show. The fix was a photo of the back of the house, sent by text before the crew came out. Text us a photo of the front of your house and tell us the stories, and that is usually enough for an exact number. Every price on this page comes from that same process, one house at a time, and our window washing and washing services are priced the same way regardless of which exterior cleanings you add, and regular cleanings are priced from the same stories and window count.

|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
Most of our Lake Wylie customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on this calendar. Across South Carolina, spring visits land in mid to late April, and our fall visits run from November to early December. What we find on the glass in April is the pollen film on south-facing windows and a paste of pollen in the gutters. By fall the leaf load has built up, and storms and wind move the dates a little each year.
Multi-story buildings with heavy tree cover over the roof need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts between cleanings and the gutters clog faster than the glass fogs. A sprinkler line that hits the windows leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, so those houses also get the third visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the glass, and condos on a busy street collect it too, so we see that show up sooner.
You can tell the windows need it when there is a haze on the glass that only shows when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspouts. Regular cleanings keep clogged gutters from getting that far. Left too long, clogged gutters let water sit against the fascia and the wall, which is how water damage starts.
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 cleaning services have covered the Lake Wylie area for years, and we keep a calendar that fills in the two busy windows of the year. A slot usually opens up within a couple of weeks, and the lead time shows on the booking page. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we will confirm a date and a window.
Our crew does professional window cleaning and gutter work, and the window cleaners on it handle the glass and the gutters with the same care, so the curb appeal of the house is in good hands from the first pane to the last. On every residential window we use purified water first, and cleaning solutions only where a spot will not lift. The windows inside the house stay as they are, since this visit covers the exterior. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we text photos of every gutter run and every window when we are done.
Yes. Our two-person crew does both, gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters never reaches the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and our window cleaning services are quoted that way by phone or by text. Ask for a written estimate if you want it on paper before the crew arrives.
On a typical residential window here, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is where most of the grime is. The windows inside are not part of this visit.
Most of the residential properties we service here book in spring and in fall, and we can confirm a date once we have the stories and a photo of the house.
No, because we clear the gutters and downspouts before we touch the windows, and we flush every downspout as part of that. The wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then does anyone start on the glass, so the dirt we remove from the gutters never lands on the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included in the same pass. Condos with tight rows of windows get the same pass, quoted by the window count.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
