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 the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Tennessee, most of our customers book it in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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 window washing and gutter work is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two washing services separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We do not quote a percentage for the bundle, because the saving depends on the house.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer on the ladder, and multi-story buildings are quoted by stories for that reason. Oversized panes such as picture windows and a high window count add time at the glass, so window cleaning services on a tall house take longer than on a ranch. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more work before any water can run. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Collegedale jobs the quote that surprises people most is the one where the glass is heavily spotted, because the cleaning itself is only part of the work. The easiest way to get the exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and a rough window count. Our crew can then tell you what is involved before anyone books a date. Windows that have gone a long time without cleaning often pick up grime and runoff from the roofline, and the gutters above them carry the same dirt, so the two jobs are easier to remove dirt from together than apart.

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 Collegedale customers book the window and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on a single calendar.
In the spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are the first things we see. Water alone does not lift that film, so cleaning solutions go on the glass where it is heaviest. In the fall, the leaf load arrives all at once, and storm and wind seasons can move both dates. We work around the weather and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof is the most common reason, because needles and leaves keep packing the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the round white spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects dust faster than most. On these houses our customers book regular cleanings more often, and that is the honest answer for their lot.
You will usually see when windows need attention before anyone tells you: a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Clogged gutters tell you too, when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout, and clogged gutters left alone can lead to water damage at the fascia.
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 Collegedale. We are window cleaners who also do the gutters, so the gutters and the outside of the glass get done together. We work on residential properties and condos, and we take residential and commercial jobs too. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories. Lead time depends on the season and is confirmed when you book.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills fastest. Both jobs do the most for curb appeal when they are done in the same season. If you want a slot in either window, book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew works with a wide range of cleaning services, but this page is about the exterior only. Windows inside are not part of this visit, and pressure washing is not part of it either.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the gutter debris does not end up on clean windows.
There is no fixed figure on this page. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before anyone books.
For a residential window in Collegedale, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those are the things that make a window look dull from the street. Booking the interior and exterior glass together is a separate job that we do not do on this visit.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, someone has to wash it again once the gutters are done.
We clean every window on the exterior, and screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job. They are not billed as extras.
We clean the exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the glass and we do not do pressure washing.
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 leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, or text a photo of the roofline so we can plan the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
