Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs down onto clean panes. We price it 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 the homes we work on book us in the spring and the fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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. The method is the same for residential and commercial jobs, and our washing services follow one set of steps on both. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we will not give you a range we cannot stand behind. Tell us the stories and roughly how many windows the house has, and we can give you a firm quote the same day you ask.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof adds time on the ladder. A high window count, or oversized panes that need a longer pole, adds time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a different job, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our cleaning solutions are part of the quote too.
On our Shelbyville jobs, the quote is usually decided by the stories and the number of panes we can reach from the pole. A client on a two-story house with large front picture windows had the front glass and the gutters done in one visit, and the price came out lower than their last two separate bookings. Getting the exact number is simple: send us a photo of the front of the house by text, and tell us the stories. We will tell you what the bundle costs before the crew is booked.
Every quote covers the gutter and window cleaning in one visit, with no surprises on the invoice. Each quote is for exterior work, so interior and exterior cleaning are never mixed on one line. For a window and gutter cleaning that fits your house and your budget, call us. If you want regular cleanings on a set schedule, we will work through them with you. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we will send a written estimate.
| 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.
On our Shelbyville jobs, most customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Tennessee the spring visit usually lands in mid to late May, and our fall visits in Shelbyville usually fall in late October to November. Some window cleaners only do glass, so homeowners end up booking two separate cleaning services, and that is the reason we bundle them.
At the spring visit we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a sticky layer of dust and grit packed in the gutters. At the fall visit the leaf load is the main problem, and the wet leaf mat is what sags the hangers and holds the runoff in the trough. Spring and fall storms and wind move the dates, so we book around the weather rather than the calendar. Clogged gutters are the usual route to water damage, and Shelbyville's wettest months are February, March and December, so a blocked run in those months is the worst time to find out. Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof is one reason, because needles and grit keep packing the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another, because the spots that come back a day after cleaning are mineral, not dirt. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster, and that also brings a third visit.
Two houses on the same street show the difference. One has no trees and is on once a year in late fall, which is enough. The other sits under heavy trees and is on three or four visits a year, because the downspouts clog between cleanings. We can only give you a case like this when the customer's own details are on file, so we will say what your lot looks like and what it needs after the first visit. Cleaning the frame is how we remove dirt that would otherwise wash back onto the pane.
You will know the windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, and our washing services are timed around those signs. Those are the signs we look for on every visit.
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 is simple. Call or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you a firm estimate. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Most calls are scheduled within the lead time we give you on the phone, and we will tell you the first open slot when you call.
Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Outside those windows we can usually fit a visit in with less notice. Job sites with multi-story buildings take a longer visit, so tell us the stories when you call. Once booked, the crew arrives in a window we confirm by phone and sends photos of the finished work. The crew clears the gutters and downspouts before any glass is touched.
We clean residential properties and commercial buildings in Shelbyville, and the residential and commercial jobs get the same care. Whether it is one residential window or a whole commercial front, we aim to clean every window the same way, so clean windows look right from the street. Our professional window cleaning crew does the sill and the frame on each window, not just the glass. We also work on condos, where the gutter runs and the exterior glass are done in one visit. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will reply with a written estimate and the first open date.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first and the glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and our window cleaning services are quoted together with the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 for cleaning services in Shelbyville, or text a photo of the front, and we will give you the exact number before the crew is booked.
Yes, because the outside collects grit, rain dust and sprinkler spots that never reach the inside. A clean inside on a dirty outside still looks hazy in low sun.
Most of our customers here book our washing services in the spring and the fall, when the trees are shedding and leaves are heaviest. Across Tennessee the pattern is the same.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. Grime from a gutter runs down the wall and across the glass below it, so washing the glass first only means washing it twice.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. Those are not billed as extras.
We clean the exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
