The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass never gets dirty water on it. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. On our Knoxville jobs most customers book both in the spring and again in the fall, and that is the calendar we work 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.
The direct answer: we price by stories and approximate window count, a bundle in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we quote over the phone or by text is the number we charge. What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, a high count of oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and grit, gutter guards we have to lift and reseat, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Window cleaning services on your quote cover the window washing and the washing services on that visit, so the number is the whole job. The price is for exterior glass, and a job that needs interior and exterior work is quoted as separate bookings.
A house with four stories of glass, a run of picture windows across the back and gutters packed through every elbow will quote higher than a smaller house with the same gutters. Once we have the stories and the window count on the phone, the number is set before the truck leaves and does not change on the day. The fastest way to get your own number is to text a photo of the front of the house with your story count and a rough window count, and we will reply with a quote.
Customers who book regular cleanings find the quote easier to predict, since the second visit usually runs faster than the first. Whatever the cleaning, the quote stays tied to the same things: how many stories, how many windows, and what is in the gutters that day.
| 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 customers in Knoxville book twice a year, once in the spring after the bloom and once in the fall after the leaves come down, and that is why one crew doing both jobs in one visit makes sense. In the spring the glass carries a pollen film on the south-facing panes, and the gutters hold a pollen paste that washes down the wall in the first rain. In the fall the leaf load is the thing to watch, and clogged gutters hold wet leaves that freeze into a mat by winter. Residential and commercial glass both collect that film, so the spring pattern is the same for both. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates by a few weeks.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means the gutters fill faster between visits, so those customers book more often than twice a year. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves round white spots that come back a day after cleaning, because they are mineral deposits and not dirt. Gutters that overflow can also lead to water damage at the fascia, so an overflow is worth a call. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the outside glass than a quiet street does, and those windows need more frequent attention. Multi-story buildings and tall houses with a lot of glass usually take longer on the lift than a single-story house. Customers on the twice-a-year schedule with no trees usually need nothing more. On the glass we use purified water, not cleaning solutions, so the pane dries clean.
You will notice windows need cleaning when you see a haze on the glass only when the sun is low in the afternoon. You will notice gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so a haze on the inside glass is a different job. If either happens between visits, text us a photo and we will tell you which one it is.
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 has worked across Knoxville on professional window cleaning and gutter work, and we tailor each schedule to the neighborhood, the number of stories and the trees around the house. Booking starts with a phone call or a text with your story count and a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm quote from that. Lead time depends on the season, and the calendar fills fastest in the spring months and again in the fall leaf months, so if you want a particular week, book early. We call before we come, and the crew arrives inside the window we give you. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside the house.
We are a small set of crews, not a franchise. Our cleaning services keep the same people on the ladder from one visit to the next. Our work on curb appeal shows most on the front of the house, but every window on the back and sides gets the same attention, and every sill gets wiped. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm the date in writing.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both, in one visit. Gutters and downspouts are cleared first so the runoff does not hit the clean glass, and the windows are done after the roof and gutters are finished.
We quote residential window work from the number of stories and the approximate window count, by phone or by text. The number is the number on the invoice, so give us those two things at (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the price before we book the date.
On a Knoxville house the outside carries a film of tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, so the outside glass gets dirtier than the inside. A clean inside does not remove dirt from the outside of the pane, and it does not hide what is on it.
Across Tennessee, spring visits run mid to late May, and in Knoxville the fall visit falls in late October to November. Those are the spring and fall visits we plan the calendar around.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. Running the glass first means someone has to clean it again once the gutters are done.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job, so there is no extra line for them on the invoice.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing. That is the same for residential properties and condos, since the scope is exterior glass either way. If you want the inside done, that is a separate booking with a different crew.
No, 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
