Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here. We go gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the roof never lands on panes we have already washed. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Tennessee, most of our customers book both in the spring and the fall, and we work from a fixed order on every house.
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 number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and that one number covers the gutters as well as the glass, so you are not comparing window cleaners' quotes against a gutter crew's. We price 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. Send us your stories and window count, or a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will tell you what the job runs before a crew is scheduled. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal from the street.
On the day, the crew looks at a handful of things that change the time on the ladder. A third story or a steep roof means more setup and a slower walk, and multi-story buildings are set up the same careful way. Oversized panes, picture windows included, and a high count of small windows add to the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and more bags to haul, and a run that spills over in a hard rain can send water damage into the fascia. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate problem: it is mineral etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit rather than pretend the glass is clean.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras or hold them back for a second visit. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, since interior and exterior work are booked as separate jobs. The glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to streak. Every downspout gets flushed until it runs clear, and the photos of each run go to you before the crew leaves.
Here is how it works for a typical house on our jobs. The crew does the roof, then the gutters, then the glass, because the runoff has to stop before the glass goes on. The glass goes last so the window washing water does not carry debris back onto panes we have finished. The same two people handle the outside windows and the gutters, so there is no handoff and nothing to re-schedule. One Middle Valley house we cleaned last spring had a gutter run that had not been touched in years, and the quote moved from a simple cleaning to a longer visit once the crew saw the packed downspout elbows; the owner got the photos of every run before the truck left. For your house, the simplest next step is to text a photo of the front of the house with your stories and an estimate of the window count, and we reply with the 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 customers here book regular cleanings for both gutters and exterior windows twice a year through our cleaning services, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass, and on residential properties with big trees it reaches every window, while the pollen paste packs into the gutters, so that visit is about clearing both. The fall visit catches the leaf load before the first hard freeze, when wet leaves turn into a mat that sags runs under ice.
Some houses need a third visit, and we say so after the first cleaning. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass or the sill leaves spots that come back a day later, which is the signal to fix the line rather than book more cleanings. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster, so clean windows there need a visit sooner.
The sign that a residential window needs cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a hard rain. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will schedule service.
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 cleaned houses across Middle Valley, and we book the city as a whole rather than by block. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our washing services are priced the same way on every house. We can usually fit you in within the lead time we give on the call, and we call before we come, so nobody arrives unannounced. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and our window cleaning services fill fastest then. Booking early in those months keeps the date you want. Outside those windows, slots open up more freely.
Our crew handles the jobs that come with real grime: the outside glass and the gutters and downspouts together, the way we would on a single-family home. Our crew serves residential and commercial buildings alike, and a small number of our jobs are at multi-story buildings and condos, where we set up the same way and clean the glass in sections. Whatever the building, the work is exterior only, the order stays the same, and the goal is to remove dirt from the glass and the gutter line in one visit.
Yes. The same crew does both in one visit for residential and commercial buildings alike, gutters first and glass last, so you are not paying two crews to work the same wall.
We give that number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. We do not guess it from the street.
On our Middle Valley jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is where most of the grime is. We clean the exterior only on this visit, so interior and exterior work are booked as two separate jobs.
Most of our customers here book regular cleanings in spring and fall, and the pollen and leaf months are when our calendar is busiest. Booking before those months keeps your date.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff from the roof is cleared before any window is washed.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. They are not billed as extras. Large picture windows get the same treatment as every other pane.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior window cleaning or pressure washing here. We use purified water on the glass rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to streak.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
