The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by what comes out of the gutters. 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. Most of our Martinsville customers book it in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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. Doing gutters and exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. The quote covers both gutter cleaning and our window washing services for the glass, so there is one number to plan around.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones we see on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer to reach safely. Window count and oversized picture windows change the time on the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles, leaves and grime, need more passes. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove. Gutters and downspouts get cleared as part of the job, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are included too, not billed as extras.
Our window cleaning services are exterior only on this visit, so interior and exterior glass is not included in the quote. If you are not sure how many stories or windows your house has, send a photo of the front of the house by text and we will tell you what the job looks like before we set a date. That is the fastest way to get a number that holds up on the day. Houses with a second-story addition or high-set windows take longer, and we flag that on the estimate call so the quote matches the invoice.
| 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 Martinsville customers book window and gutter work twice a year, once in late spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our jobs the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutters, and the fall visit clears the leaf load before the first hard freeze.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. Pollen piles up on glass and in the gutter elbows fast enough that a missed spring visit shows up as haze you can only see when the sun is low. Fall brings the wet leaf mat that sits in clogged gutters all winter, and the runoff from it is what streaks the wall below. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, and we adjust when that happens.
Some houses need more than the two regular cleanings a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road are the usual reasons, and multi-story buildings with a lot of glass tend to need more time per visit. A sprinkler hitting the windows leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and gutters that overflow in heavy rain can lead to water damage at the fascia. Under heavy trees, needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so those houses are on a shorter cycle than one with open sky overhead.
Your windows tell you when the cleanings are due: haze you only notice when the sun is low on the glass. Your gutters tell you when they need cleaning: water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Watching for those two signs is the easiest way to know whether the schedule is right for 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.
Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, where we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the quote from there. We confirm the window count and the gutter condition on that call, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we do need the side gate unlocked. Our crews do professional window cleaning. Plenty of people search for window cleaners and then find out gutters are a separate call, so we take on every window the quote covers, including the sill and the upper stories, with no second trip.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and fall, when most of our Martinsville customers are booking. If you want a specific date in those windows, get the estimate early, because a slot a month out is common then. Outside those windows lead time is shorter, and we will tell you the real lead time when you call rather than promise a day we cannot keep.
We serve residential properties across Martinsville and work the neighborhoods the same way, from houses with open sky overhead to those under heavy trees. Our crew handles residential and commercial jobs under the same quote process. We use purified water and add cleaning solutions only where the glass needs them. Booking with us means one estimate, one visit and one invoice for gutters and glass, which is what keeps the curb appeal of the house intact between seasons.
Yes. Our window and gutter cleaning is one visit by the same two-person crew, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by runoff.
The number depends on the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text after a short look at a photo. Our cleaning services are priced per job, not from a fixed chart, so ask for the exact figure on the call.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime: pollen, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Regular exterior cleaning is how you remove dirt from the glass and frames before the rain builds it up again, and the windows inside stay as they are on this visit.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, after the pollen season and before the first hard freeze.
Not with our order of work. The roof gets cleared, the gutters get flushed, and only then does anyone touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included in the visit.
Owners of condos get the same exterior-only visit as a house, and we do not clean interior glass or pressure wash on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers 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 the date.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
