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 it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Most of our Damascus customers book the spring and fall visits, and we keep the same crew on the house from one visit to the next.
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 number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, the window count and any oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted to reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has. Our crew sees the gutter runs and the glass from the ground before we quote, and the quote covers the full window washing services and gutter work together. Most of the grime we find on exterior glass sits along the bottom sill and the lower panes, where runoff from the roof lands. The gutters and downspouts carry that runoff, which is why the two jobs run together. We remove dirt from the glass with purified water, so it dries without streaks. Condos and townhomes with shared roof lines are quoted by the unit and the run they share, and other residential properties follow the same rule.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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.
Across Damascus, most of our customers book both jobs twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
On our jobs, the spring visit is when we see the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters. The fall visit is when the leaf load comes down and sits wet in the runs. Storm and wind seasons move those dates a little, so we book against what the house is doing rather than a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction all leave more residue between visits. On those jobs the spots that come back a day after cleaning are usually mineral, and picture windows facing the sprinkler line show them first, so a third visit keeps the glass and gutters clear. Residential and commercial buildings on regular cleanings follow the same pattern, set by how much the building collects.
You will see the sign windows need a cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will see the sign gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout.
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. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you the number and the earliest date on the crew's schedule. Lead time changes with the season, and our calendar fills first in the two busy windows of the year, so it is worth booking early for either of them.
We know the cleaning services market here has a lot of companies, so our crew talks through what we will and will not do before the first visit. Our window cleaners work only the exterior, from the ground and with a pole where the glass is high, and our window cleaning services stop at the exterior glass and the frame. On a residential window job, professional window cleaning means every window the crew can reach gets done, and the frames and sills get wiped as well. Curb appeal improves most when the front of the house is done in one visit, which is how we schedule it.
Windows inside are not part of this visit. Clogged gutters are the most common reason a run overflows in a rain, and the crew flags them on the first look. On multi-story buildings we use a boom or scissor lift where the house is too tall for a ladder. Water damage usually starts where a gutter has overflowed for a season, so we call before we come and tell you what we found.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both, in one visit. Gutters come first, then the glass, so the dirty gutter water does not land on clean windows. You get one schedule and one invoice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front and tell us the stories, and we will quote the full job before the crew is booked.
On the houses we clean in Damascus, the outside carries most of the grime: a film that settles on the glass in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that show up a day after cleaning. Stubborn spots may need cleaning solutions beyond water, and the crew tells you before using them. Interior glass can stay as it is, but the outside is what the rain and the dust land on.
Most of our Damascus customers book in spring and again in fall. Spring brings the first heavy film on the glass and fall brings the leaves, so those are the visits that matter most for clean windows and clear gutters.
No. We do the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters go first, the water that runs down the wall has time to stop before anyone touches the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and frames are done as part of the exterior visit. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside. Nothing on the exterior is billed as an extra.
Not on this visit. We treat interior and exterior glass as separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior glass only, with no pressure washing. If you want the inside done, tell us when you schedule service and we will say what we can and cannot cover.
You do not need to be home, since our crew works outside and does not come inside. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
