Yes, 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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Tennessee, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, so the calendar fills in those 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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Text us a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you where the quote starts. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and window count and we will give you the number.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk safely, a window count that runs high or includes oversized panes, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same visit as the glass, so that work sits inside the one number.
Across Tennessee, the houses that come out most even are the ones where the owner sends stories, window count and a front photo before we arrive. Those three things tell us the labor and the ladder work before the truck leaves the shop. Our window washing and gutter work follows the same routine, so the window cleaning services and the gutter cleaning are scoped in one estimate. Each residential window on the outside is counted once, and washing services for the glass are priced from that count. Residential properties get the same estimate, and condos on a shared roofline get a count for each unit. Ask for the written quote and check it against the photo. Sprinkler runoff across the glass, leaves that settled in the downspouts and the grime on sills are the three things the number has to cover, and we say so up front. Ask us about the remove dirt step, which is the slowest part of a sill and the part we charge for only when the sill is caked.

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 across Tennessee book both twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the same house. The spring visit usually lands in mid to late May across Tennessee, and fall visits run late October to November. Spring is when pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as paste in the gutters. Fall is when the leaf load arrives and the wet mat sits in the runs until the first hard freeze. The wettest months here are May, June and July, so the gutters run hardest through early summer. For a residential window and gutter schedule, twice a year is the usual rhythm, and to schedule service you text a photo of the roofline and we send the next open dates.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction usually needs a third visit. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after a cleaning, and those are the reason we flag them on the first visit.
Window cleaning solutions and gutter flushing work on a schedule, so regular cleanings keep the sill and the downspouts from building up between visits. Picture windows show haze first, and you tend to see it only when the sun is low. Water sheeting over the lip of the gutter in rain is the sign the runs need attention.
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 and commercial exteriors, and our window cleaners work from a boom or scissor lift on multi-story buildings. The estimate covers every window on the outside of the house that the crew can reach safely. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time is set by our calendar and posted on the estimate, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The busy windows of the year are the spring pollen period and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills and professional window cleaning bookings stack up. If you want a slot in those weeks, send the estimate request early or call (866) 435-6328. Our cleaning services cover the exterior glass and the gutters and downspouts in one visit, and the crew works around clogged gutters and cleans away the water damage risk from runoff before it reaches the sill. Curb appeal depends on the exterior looking even, which is what one visit gives you. This visit covers exterior glass only, and interior and exterior work are not bundled into it.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied by gutter runoff and the clean windows stay that way.
The number comes from stories and the count of every window on the outside, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details.
In Elizabethton the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside gets dirty faster than the inside. A clean inside on a dirty outside still looks hazy.
Residential properties in Elizabethton book in spring and fall. Text a photo of the roofline and we will give you the next open date.
No, because we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, then wait for the wall to drain before we touch the glass. The order is the reason.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, so the inside of the windows and any pressure washing are not part of the price.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
