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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Johnson City jobs most customers book in the spring and again in the fall, and that schedule is what this page is built around.
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 cleaning price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our washing services are quoted the same way as the gutters. Booking the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and we will tell you the bundle figure when you call.
On our jobs, most of what moves the quote is what the crew finds once it is on the roof. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely, and oversized picture windows take more time per pane. Window cleaning services take longer when grime has baked onto the glass, since that needs more than one rinse. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, cost more to clear than a run cleaned last season. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are priced separately by the foot. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler lines is something no cleaning removes, and we say so on the visit. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass on residential properties is quoted separately, and the figure here covers the exterior only.
On a Johnson City job, the quote changes with the house more than with the street. One customer with a two-story house and a deep run of gutters under the trees had a quote driven by the gutter work and the sprinkler marks on the lower glass, and the crew told them which runs needed the flush before the glass was touched. Ask for the same breakdown on your house: call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front, with the number of stories and a rough window count, and you will hear the exact number before the crew is booked. Regular cleanings keep the quote down, because a gutter cleaned every visit is easier than one that has been left to build up.
| 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 Johnson City customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Tennessee, the spring visit lands in mid to late May, and our fall visits usually fall in late October to November. The same calendar holds for residential and commercial buildings, since the pollen and the leaves arrive on both. Spring work is about the pollen. On south-facing glass the film builds up fast, and in the gutters the dust turns to a paste that holds the downspout elbows shut. Fall work is about leaves, which come off the trees in a wet mat that blocks the run and sends water over the edge at the first hard rain. When we book the spring visit we check the gutters first, then the glass, so the paste is out before the rinse.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof is the common reason, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another, and the spots it leaves come back a day after cleaning, which is the hard-water pattern and not dirt. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more fine dust on the frames, so the crew spends longer on the frames to remove dirt. Cleaning solutions do not change the schedule; the schedule changes with the site. The windows inside are not part of this visit, so the schedule covers the outside glass only. Multi-story buildings, condos and houses with a lot of glass on the upper floors are often done on the same calendar, because the visit is organized around the ladder and the crew, not the number of houses.
Two signs tell you it is time. The first is a haze on the windows that you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. The second is runoff sheeting over the edge of the gutter during a rain, which is the first sign of clogged gutters and, left alone, of water damage to the fascia and the wall beneath. If you see either one between visits, call and we will look at it.
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 is booked by phone or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and you will get an estimate before a day is picked. Our cleaning services cover the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills, so the sooner you call the better the chance of the date you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We clean every window we can reach from the outside, the same way on every residential window, and when a pane cannot be reached safely from the ground or a boom or scissor lift we say so and do not guess.
Our crew is a team of window cleaners, and it does professional window cleaning every week, with the same two people handling the gutters and the glass so the schedule stays simple. We bring the water, the pole and the ladder, and we handle the cleanup. Curb appeal from clean glass and clear gutters lasts longer when the gutters are kept clear between visits, and that is the reason we ask about the trees on the lot.
Yes. It is the same crew, and we clean gutters and downspouts on one visit with the gutters first and the glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text. There is no figure we quote without seeing the house.
On our jobs the outside carries the spring dust, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are the marks you see from inside. Cleaning the outside of a residential window lets us remove dirt before it bakes on.
Most of our customers here book both visits. The spring one lands in mid to late May across Tennessee, and the fall one usually falls in late October to November.
No. Gutters first and glass last means the runs are cleared and flushed before anyone touches a window, so no runoff washes down onto the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and the same holds for condos where we can reach the exterior glass. Tracks are included on the same visit.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do the windows inside or pressure washing.
Most residential properties need no one home for exterior work. Turn the sprinklers off, move the cars off the driveway and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Text a photo of the roofline if you are not sure what to send.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
