Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing dripping off the roof lands on 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. Our crew has worked this routine on Athens houses through the spring and fall seasons, so the schedule is already set when you call.
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 window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and professional window cleaning together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A window count that runs high, or a set of oversized panes, adds glass to wipe, and the windows inside are never counted because we do not clean them. Gutters not cleaned in years arrive packed with needles and leaves, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate case, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and they are much of the curb appeal the quote pays for.
On our Athens jobs, the homes that cost the most to clear are the ones with clogged gutters that have been left through a wet season, where the fascia has taken on water damage behind the run. One Athens customer had us out after the gutters had sat unopened for two years; the quote moved with the second story and the window count on the back elevation, and the crew noted the rot on the fascia in the report with photos. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows.
| 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 Athens customers book both twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew doing both cleaning services in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Spring is when pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass, and it reaches almost every window on the house. Fall brings the leaf load, and the timing of storms and wind can move both dates by a few weeks.
On our jobs, the houses that need a third visit have heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or a location near a busy road or construction. These homes need to schedule service three or four times a year, because needles and grit keep packing the downspouts between cleanings. Homes with few or no trees usually do well with the twice-a-year rhythm.
You will see when a residential window needs it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Clean windows look different in that light right away. You will see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a rain.
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 runs washing services across Athens, and we have cleaned both residential properties and multi-story buildings, including condos, on the same route. Booking starts with an estimate for our window cleaning services by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills and the lead time grows. Calling early for those stretches gets you a choice of days. We clean the gutters and downspouts, the outside of the glass, the frames and the sills, and we haul away the grime that comes off. The crew works to remove dirt from the glass and frames without chasing runoff onto neighboring walkways, and anything that needs a separate fix gets photographed and reported. We do the job as one visit so the two parts do not undo each other.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, with the gutters done first and the glass last. It is the same people on the ladder for both jobs.
We do not give a range here. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and you can get it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with a photo of the front of the house. The same method covers residential and commercial buildings.
On our Athens jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and picture windows show it most clearly. Clean inside glass will still look hazy if the outside is left alone, so the outside is where the visible change happens.
Most of our Athens customers book in spring and in fall, and regular cleanings at that rhythm keep the buildup from settling in. Spring catches the pollen season and fall catches the leaf drop, which is when we see the largest buildup on the glass and in the gutters.
No, because we work gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and black water come down the wall, so the glass is left until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks and frames are included in the exterior visit, and we use purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so there is nothing left to streak. We do not bill them as separate extras.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, and the price never mixes interior and exterior work. We do not do pressure washing here.
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 ladders are up, and unlock any side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
