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 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. Our crew does this work across Tennessee every spring and fall, and it is the same crew that will be on your ladder.
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. Booking the window and gutter work in one visit comes in below what the two jobs would cost on separate trips, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Both cleanings happen on the same visit, with one setup and one crew. Ask for the exact figure and have the number of stories and a rough window count ready, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through it with you.
What changes the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to set up and walk. A window count that runs high, or oversized picture windows that need a boom or scissor lift to reach, adds time. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to empty, and the runoff from them is what streaks the glass below. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, so we will tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The cleaning solutions we use are matched to the glass and the gutter debris on the house. This quote covers the outside only. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, so tell us up front if you were hoping for both.
A house with a back run under heavy tree cover usually takes longer, because the downspouts fill with seeds from the spring pollen drop. The crew flushes each outlet until the water runs clear, then does the glass from the ground with a single set-up on the side wall. Getting an exact number for your house takes about a minute: send a text with the front of the house and tell us the stories. We will reply with the figure and a time that works.
If you have not been on a ladder yourself, the safest way to plan is to let us size it. Our crew works from the ground and a boom or scissor lift where the job needs one, and we photograph the roofline before anything gets touched. Houses on regular cleanings get the same notes and photos each visit, so the next quote starts from what the crew saw last time.
| 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 book gutters and outside windows twice a year across Tennessee, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs. Many homeowners book window cleaners and gutter work on separate calls, but one professional window cleaning visit with the gutters done first keeps the schedule simple. Across Tennessee, the spring visit lands in mid to late May, after the seed and pollen drop has finished, and the fall visit lands in November to early December, after the leaves are down and before the first hard freeze.
In May the pollen comes off the trees as a yellow film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as a paste. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen clogged gutters sag under the ice that comes in on the coldest mornings of the year. A run that overflows for a whole season can cause water damage at the fascia, and dirty glass takes away curb appeal fast. Storm and wind season across Tennessee can shift those dates, so we will suggest a window when we talk to you.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings often do, since the upper glass and runs are the hardest to reach. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and we treat those as a separate problem. A house close to a busy road or active construction picks up more dust on the frame. Windows inside the house are not part of these visits, so the work stays on the outside glass. If any of those describe your lot, we will tell you what to expect on the first visit.
You will know the windows need it when you see haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a hard rain instead of running down the downspout. Either one is a reason to book a visit, and each visit also helps remove dirt that has built up on the frames over the year. What we do on the outside is professional window cleaning, and our crew will photograph what it finds so you can see the condition for yourself.
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 residential properties across Mount Juliet, and the window and gutter cleaning on each one follows the same order: gutters first, glass last. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our washing services are quoted from those two details before anyone climbs a ladder. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, spring pollen and fall leaf drop, the calendar fills first, so it helps to book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Ask us for a date and we will confirm the slot in writing so you can schedule service around your week.
Every window on the outside of the house is included in the estimate, including upper-story panes done from the pole and the sill under each one. A residential window on the second floor is handled the same way as one at ground level, and gutters and downspouts run in the same visit, so the grime in a run is cleared before the glass is touched. Clean windows are the goal, and the photos we send after the visit show each side of the house so you can check the work for yourself.
This page is about houses. Questions about condos or residential and commercial buildings go through the same phone line at (866) 435-6328, and we will say honestly whether the building fits the same crew and ladder setup.
Yes. Our washing services cover the gutters and the outside glass in one visit, and the same two people do the gutters first so the runoff never lands on clean glass.
We give the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. We will not guess on a range before we have seen the front of the house.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the inside alone leaves that outer layer in place.
Across Tennessee, spring visits land in mid to late May and fall visits in November to early December. Ask us for the open dates when you call, and we will confirm the slot in writing.
No, that is why gutters come first. The leaves, grit and black water come down the wall when a run is cleared, so we rinse the siding and let it drip before any window gets touched.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit as well, so there is no separate line for them on the invoice.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of windows and we do not do pressure washing here.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn 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. Call (866) 435-6328 to set a date, or text a photo of the roofline and we will reply with the number.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
