Yes, the same two people clean your 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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across South Carolina, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
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.
Our direct answer is simple: window washing and gutter work are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking the gutters and windows together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
What moves the quote is usually what the crew finds on the day, and that holds across all of our window cleaning services. A third story or a steep roof changes how the work is done. Window count and oversized picture windows take more time on the glass, and years of grime take longer than a light rinse. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more hauling. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our quote covers the outside glass only, because the interior and exterior of the house are never one job on this visit.
Our experience here is simple. For a North Charleston house, the most useful thing you can do is send a photo of the front of the house by text along with your story count. That gives us the exact number before we come, and it avoids the surprise of a different figure on the day. Whatever mix of washing services you book, the quote is built from the same story count. Regular cleanings keep the grime from building up, and booking the cleanings together with the gutters is the simplest way to keep the total down. To get a quote, call (866) 435-6328. Before we book anything, we want to see the glass and the gutter runs, not guess from the street.

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.
Across South Carolina, most customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and that rhythm is why one crew and one visit makes sense for both jobs. The same schedule suits residential and commercial buildings, and condos follow it too, since pollen and leaves reach both.
Across South Carolina, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, after the pollen season has peaked. That is when we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. We wash the glass with purified water rather than harsh cleaning solutions, so it dries without streaks. Fall visits usually land in late November to December, and clogged gutters are the first sign the leaf load has arrived, so gutters and downspouts get cleared before any glass is washed.
Across South Carolina, hurricanes and tropical remnants bring rain events that can move both dates, so we book around them rather than forcing a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps debris coming, and a sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or ongoing construction also collects more dust between visits. Multi-story buildings need more setup, which is why the quote follows the story count. The wettest months are July, August and September, with about 52.2 inches of rain a year, and a gutter that overflows through a wet season can cause water damage to the fascia and siding below.
You will notice the glass needs cleaning when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low. You will notice the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspouts. The windows inside stay as they are, since we work on the outside glass only.
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 work across the city, for residential properties and the glass and gutters on them. To get started, call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you an estimate and a date. Lead time is set by our calendar, and we will tell you the first open slot when you call.
Spring and fall are the two busy windows of the year, so if you want a particular week, it helps to book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, so you can schedule service around your day. Our window cleaners work from the outside, with professional window cleaning on every window and a sill wiped on each one, so the job is finished from the ground up. Our window cleaning services also lift curb appeal, since the windows are the first part of the house most people see.
Yes. For residential properties, the same two people do the gutters and the outside of the glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters lands on clean windows.
There is no figure we can give without the details. The number comes from your story count and house size, and we give it by phone or text.
Yes, because the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and the visit is how we remove dirt from that glass.
Most customers here book in spring and in fall, which is when the pollen and the leaf load are heaviest. Both condos and houses follow that spring and fall rhythm.
No, because we clean gutters and downspouts first and glass last. Dirty water is flushed out before any window is touched, so no runoff reaches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing, and the inside glass is not part of the same visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
