Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your 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 two separate trips. On our South Charleston jobs, most customers book in spring and fall, which is when the pollen and leaves build up enough to show on the glass.
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, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Our starting price for each case is set by those two numbers, and every job gets a firm quote before we start. Each residential window is counted in that quote, and our washing services are priced as one bundle when the gutters and glass are done together, with window washing on its own quoted the same way.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough to change how we set the ladders, a large number of window panes including oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On one South Charleston job the quote moved because the house had a steep back roof, more glass than the front suggested, and gutters that had gone a long time without a cleaning. Our crew told the customer what they found and why it changed the number before any work started. To get your exact number, text us the number of stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house. We will give you the figure from those details, and you will know it before anyone climbs a ladder. Regular cleanings keep the job smaller over time, because grime and clogged gutters take longer to clear the longer they sit, and a repeat visit is the simplest way to keep the number down on window cleaning services.

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 South Charleston jobs, most of our customers book both twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen season and once in the fall after the leaves come down. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In the spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters, and cleaning solutions on the glass alone will not lift it. In the fall the leaf load in the gutters and downspouts is the main job, and the wet mat it leaves behind is what sags a run under ice later in the winter and lets water damage the fascia.
Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we look at what the house needs rather than keeping to the calendar alone. Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, and a house near a busy road or construction all tend to bring more dust and debris, and we see those homes back on the schedule sooner. Multi-story buildings also need more setup time on every visit, so we plan their dates around the ladder work. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, which tells us the water is the cause rather than the dirt.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running out the downspouts. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which visit schedule fits your house.
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 have cleaned gutters and windows across the city, and we book cleaning services for homes and small buildings with a single estimate call or text. Residential properties, condos and multi-story buildings are all priced the same way, by stories and window count, and residential and commercial jobs follow that method too. Give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, fill the calendar first, so booking early in those months is the safest move. We call before we come, every time.
Our window cleaners work outside the house and do not come inside, so nobody needs to be home for the visit. We clean the exterior of every window we can reach from the ground or from a boom or scissor lift, and we flag any pane we cannot reach safely so you are not surprised later. The aim is professional window cleaning that holds up through the next rain, and a schedule service that keeps the outside of each window and the gutters above them in step with the seasons. Curb appeal is what most people notice first, and clean glass plus clear gutters is the quickest way to get it back.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the roof washes onto clean glass.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front, and we will give you a figure before we book.
Yes. On residential properties and condos, most of the grime sits on the outside: pollen in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. A simple rinse will not remove dirt once it has stuck to the glass, so the outside needs a proper clean. Clear outside glass also brings more daylight into the house, whatever the inside looks like.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, after the pollen drops and after the leaves come down.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Working the other way round means the runoff from the roof washes across the panes you just paid to have cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are not part of the exterior visit unless we are asked to add them when we quote.
We clean the exterior only on this visit, so interior and exterior glass never share a visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house, 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 the 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.
