Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and 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, this is the way most homeowners book it in the spring and fall, because one visit means one setup and one invoice.
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, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. A window and gutter bundle means one crew and one invoice. The cleanings are priced by the number of stories, and this page covers houses only, not residential and commercial buildings. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge once the crew has been on the house.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means a longer setup, and window count together with picture windows and other oversized panes changes the time on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the exterior job and are not billed as extras. This number covers the exterior only, so the interior and exterior glass are not bundled into one price.
To get the exact number, text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows face the street and the back. That is enough for us to quote over the phone, and the crew brings its own cleaning solutions, so there is nothing to set out. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo and we will reply with the number before anyone is booked.

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.
Across Tennessee, most homeowners book both twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit suits the calendar. The spring visit falls in mid to late May across Tennessee, and in Lakeland the fall visit runs November to early December. Keeping up with regular cleanings in spring and fall keeps the buildup from getting heavy, so most homes need two cleaning services a year, not one.
What we find in May is pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In late fall it is the leaf load, which turns into a wet mat that holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons from spring supercells, hail and tornadoes across Tennessee can shift the dates, so we confirm each visit when we call. Booking professional window cleaning on a set schedule beats calling window cleaners only after the haze shows.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, and a house near a busy road or a construction site all leave residue faster than the spring and fall cycle allows. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass on the upper floors take the longest on the pole. Those are the houses where the spots come back a day after cleaning and where clogged gutters overflow again before the next visit, which can lead to water damage on the fascia and soffit. Our crew tells you at the first visit which of those applies to your lot.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running down the downspout. Clean glass also does more for curb appeal than most people expect.
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.
Booking starts with a phone or text estimate that uses the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We handle residential properties for window and gutter cleaning, and the estimate uses the same stories and photo rule for each one. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not go inside.
The two busy windows are the spring and fall visit months, and our calendar fills fastest then. Book early in those windows to get the date you want, and use the estimate to lock in the slot. Every window reachable from the outside is cleaned on the same visit, along with the sill, so a residential window ends with clean windows all round. We also clear every gutter run and downspout on that visit.
The phone number to schedule service is (866) 435-6328. If you would rather send a photo first, text the front of the house and the stories, and we will reply with a time window for the visit.
Yes, the same two people handle both jobs on one visit, so the window cleaning services and the gutter work are booked together. The gutters and downspouts go first and the glass goes last, so nothing from the roof lands on clean panes. Both washing services are priced as one job.
We do not give a figure on this page. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you get it by phone or text before any work is booked.
The outside takes most of the dirt here: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that sit on the exterior glass. Cleaning the outside alone helps remove dirt and most of the grime the weather leaves behind. The windows inside are not part of this visit.
Across Tennessee, the spring visit falls in mid to late May. In Lakeland the fall visit runs November to early December. Book in those windows to schedule service and get the date you want.
No, because the crew works gutters first and glass last. Clogged gutters overflow in rain and send runoff down the wall, so the roof is blown clear, the gutters are cleared, every downspout is flushed, and the wall is given time to stop dripping before the glass is touched.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side, and nothing from that list is billed as an extra.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
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 ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Condos are covered in these frequently asked questions: the visit is exterior only, quoted by stories and window count. Tell us if the building has shared gutters, because those need an answer before the crew is booked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
