Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. On our Hartsville jobs, most customers book this in spring and fall, once the seeds and leaves have come down and before the weather turns.
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 professional window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The method is the same for residential and commercial exteriors: count the stories, count the glass, look at the gutters. Quotes for multi-story buildings follow the story count, before the visit. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to 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.
Pollen is the main reason the glass looks dull in spring, and it settles on the sills and frames as well as the panes, so we wipe those too. The glass itself gets purified water, and mild cleaning solutions go only on frames and sills where grime has built up. In a spring pass we also clear the gutters of seed paste before it sets, which is cheaper than a second visit later. Repeat visits with regular cleanings take less time than a first visit on a neglected house, because there is less to clear. Most of the work is the same on every house, so the difference in price is usually stories, size and the condition of the gutters we find.
On a Hartsville job last year, the quote moved because the back of the house had two stories over a walkout, a row of picture windows on the west side, and a gutter run that had not been cleared in several years. The crew photographed each run before and after and sent the photos before leaving. We cannot share a price for that job here, but a photo of the front of your house by text gets you the same kind of number.

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 Hartsville customers book both gutter cleaning and window cleaning twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Two cleanings a year is the usual pattern for most houses. Spring is when the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the seed paste packs into the gutters. Fall is when the leaf load comes down and sits in the runs until the first freeze, and Hartsville fall visits usually land in late October to November. Across Tennessee, spring storm season brings supercells, hail and tornadoes, and that can move both dates by a few weeks, so we book around the weather rather than the calendar.
What we find at each visit is consistent. In spring the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and tree litter, and the glass has a yellow haze that rain does not wash off. In the fall, clogged gutters hold wet leaves that freeze in place during our snow and ice months, and runs that sagged under that weight need a look before winter, before water damage shows up at the fascia. Some houses need a third visit: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), or a house near a busy road or a construction site. We tell you which of those your house has after the first visit.
Our Hartsville customers fall into two patterns. One book with no trees over the roof and get the twice-a-year schedule without trouble. Another have trees or a sprinkler line and book three or four visits a year, because needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts between visits. If you are not sure which group your house falls into, send us a photo of the roofline and we will say.
Windows tell you they need cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low, and gutters tell you they need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Rain alone will not remove dirt from the glass, so if you see either, it is time to 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.
We clean the gutters and the exterior windows of residential properties across Hartsville in one visit, so you get window and gutter cleaning with one crew instead of two bookings. The estimate starts by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a number from those. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. The lead time for a visit is listed on our booking page, so check there before you pick a date.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, when seed and leaf loads are heaviest. If you want a slot in those months, it helps to ask early. Outside those windows we can usually fit a visit sooner. When you schedule service with us, you get the same crew each time, which means the crew already knows which sill is hard to reach and which gutter run runs over.
We clean every window we can reach from the ground or from a boom or scissor lift on the outside of the house. On every residential window we reach, the goal is clean windows with no streaks left on the pane, and a clean front does a lot for curb appeal. Screens come out and get rinsed, and the frames and sill get wiped. If a pane can only be reached from an upper room or a roof we cannot safely use, the crew photographs it and tells you before the visit ends.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and then the glass, and both jobs happen in one visit, so the runoff from the gutters never reaches the windows we have just finished.
We do not give a price here, because the number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and condos are quoted the same way. Text us a photo of the front and the number of stories, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will quote the job on the spot.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the grime here. Yellow film in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots all sit on the outside of the glass, and cleaning the inside does nothing about them.
Most of our Hartsville customers book in spring and fall, once the seeds and leaves have come down. Storms can shift the dates, so call and we will look at the calendar with you.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When clogged gutters are cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters are done and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and frames are cleaned as part of the job. We do not bill them as extras.
Not on this visit. Our window washing services cover the exterior glass, and windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing here, and interior and exterior glass is not bundled into this price.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
