The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall cleaning seasons, and most of our Wade Hampton customers book both during those two windows.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and window and gutter cleaning booked together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. If you text a photo of the front of the house with your story count, we can usually narrow the figure down before the crew is booked, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through it with you.
What moves the quote on our jobs is mostly what we find once we are on the roof and at the glass. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder or the lift, so multi-story buildings are quoted with that in mind. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows, which take longer to rinse and dry evenly. The glass is rinsed with purified water, not cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to streak. Clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves take more passes to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is the one thing regular cleanings will not remove, so we flag it on the visit and quote it separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a recent Wade Hampton visit, the quote moved because the house had a steep front roof and a run of picture windows facing the driveway. The crew cleared the gutters and downspouts first, flushed each downspout until it ran clear, and then did the glass, with photos of every run sent before the truck left. The price was set from the story count and the residential window count the customer gave us by text, and that is the number on the invoice. To get your exact number, text us the story count and a photo of the front of the house.

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 customers book two cleanings a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across South Carolina, the spring visit lands in mid to late April, when the pollen film builds up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. The fall visit lands in late November to December, after the leaf load has dropped and before the wet weather sets in.
Professional window cleaning in April catches the yellow-green film before the summer heat bakes it on. In the gutters it is a paste that clogs the elbows and the first few feet of each downspout. In the fall the gutters hold a wet leaf mat, and a run that stays full through the wet weather can lead to water damage at the fascia. The storm and wind seasons can move the dates, especially when the hurricane season reaches the coast. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a lot near a busy road or a construction site often need a third visit. Our crew can remove dirt from the glass on the first visit, but the sprinkler spots that come back a day after cleaning are the sign of a mineral problem instead.
Clean windows should still look clear in low sun, so a haze that only shows up then is the sign the glass needs attention. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running down the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, which is why the spring visit is the one many people book.
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.
Booking window and gutter cleaning starts with a phone call or a text. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate you can plan around. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the late fall leaf season, are when our calendar fills first. Book early in those windows and you keep your preferred week.
Our crew cleans residential properties in Wade Hampton and the surrounding streets, and we have worked on the older neighborhood homes as well as newer builds. This page covers houses only, not residential and commercial jobs, so ask before booking anything else. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, so you only need to unlock the side gate and move your car off the driveway if the windows face it. Every window we clean gets the frame, the screen and the sill, so the glass comes out looking like it should.
Yes. Our washing services cover the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the dirty runoff off the clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count on the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure before anything is booked.
Usually the outside is what carries the grime here: spring film, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting on the south and west faces. The inside can look clean while the outside still hazes in low sun. Condos follow the same rule, since the quote is built from the story count and window count.
Across South Carolina, the spring visit lands in mid to late April, and the fall visit runs from late November to December. Those are the two windows when our calendar fills first, so book early.
No, because we work gutters first and glass last. When the runs are cleared and the downspouts flushed, the wall has a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
Exterior only on this visit, not interior and exterior work. We do not clean windows inside the house, and pressure washing is not included, so those are not part of the quote.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
