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 an approximate window count, and doing both together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Across Tennessee, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when the tree dust and the leaves have had the most time to settle.
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 stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The job also covers gutters and downspouts, which get flushed as part of the price, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are included too, not billed as extras. The cleaning solutions for frames and sills are part of the price as well.
On the day, the crew finds the same few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes the setup, and multi-story buildings take more time overall. Oversized or picture windows take more time per pane. Pollen film that has built up on the glass adds a pass on every window it covers. Gutters that have gone years without cleanings, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit.
Here is how we get to the exact number. Text us a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, tell us the number of stories, and give us a rough count of the windows. That is enough for a quote over the phone, before anyone is on a ladder. The window and gutter cleaning bundle is built around that single visit, so the crew only sets up once per side of the house. For a residential and commercial job the quote is built the same way, from stories, window count and access.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Franklin customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Tennessee the spring pollen and the fall leaf drop follow the same pattern, so the calendar is predictable.
In spring a film of tree dust shows up on south-facing glass and sticky residue packs into the gutter elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that blocks the runs, and clogged gutters overflow in the first heavy rain. Across Tennessee, spring storm season can move the dates earlier or later, and we book around them. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road usually means a third visit, since those are the houses where the spots come back a day after cleaning. Homes on regular cleanings tend to need fewer of those extra visits.
Watch for two signs. Windows need cleaning when you see a haze only in low-angle sun. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout, and a gutter that overflows for a season can cause water damage to the fascia below. Both are reasons to book, and both are the kind of professional window cleaning and clogged gutter work our crew handles in one visit, with photos of every run before we leave. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal between visits.
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 cleans gutters and windows across Franklin for residential properties and single-family homes, and we book a slot by phone or text once we have the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, so ask when you call and we will tell you the first open date.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring tree-bloom season and the fall leaf drop, and that is when our calendar fills fastest. Book early in those months if you want a specific day. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of each run and each pane so you can see the clean windows and gutters before the truck leaves.
We clean every window on the outside of the house, and on each residential window we do the sill too, not just the glass. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the day.
Yes. Our washing services cover the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, with the same two people, and we do the gutters first and the glass last. That order keeps the runoff from the gutters off the clean glass below.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text. Condos and single-family homes both get a quote that way. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the price before anyone is on a ladder.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the tree dust, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that never reach the inside. Exterior cleaning is the only way to remove dirt that builds up on the outside of the glass, and the grime you see from the street is on that outside surface.
Across Tennessee, spring visits run mid to late May and fall visits run late October to November. Book inside one of those windows and the crew works after the spring tree dust or once the fall leaves are down.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters can run down it and leave streaks that need a second visit.
Screens get rinsed, sills get wiped, and the frame gets done along with the pane. These are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house on this visit, and interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, so ask about the inside when you book. We also do not do pressure washing on this job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Unlock the side gate if the crew needs access.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
