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 down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. On our Fredericksburg jobs, most customers book it for spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are at their worst on the house. Interior glass and gutter repair are not part of this visit.
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 costs less in one visit than booking the two jobs separately. Our window washing and gutter work is quoted as one number, so tell us the stories and roughly how many windows face the street, the back and the sides. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we give you the exact figure before anyone climbs a ladder. The window cleaning services in the quote follow the same count.
Several things move the quote, and the crew sees them on the day: a third story or a steep roof that needs a boom or scissor lift, a window count with oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, grime baked onto the glass, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our washing services cover the exterior only. If you also want interior and exterior glass in one booking, that is a separate quote, so the number here does not include interior glass.
A two-story house with a back run near a sprinkler line and a lot of hazy glass is the kind of job that moves the quote. The crew flags the spotting before it starts and quotes it as its own line, so there is no surprise on the invoice. For a number you can trust, send a photo of the front of the house by text along with the story count and window estimate. Regular cleanings keep the gutter load small, so a repeat visit usually runs quicker than the first one.
| 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 Fredericksburg customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. What we find at each visit follows the seasons. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and sticky tree residue packs into the gutters. In fall the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs until it freezes. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we book around the forecast rather than a fixed day. Residential and commercial glass collects the same film, but this page covers homes only.
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 all bring more grit and more spotting than a quiet lot does. Anything with multi-story buildings on the lot takes more setup time because the upper glass sits farther from the ground. A run of clogged gutters that has overflowed for years can lead to water damage on the fascia and siding behind it, so a run that is still wet in the next rain is worth a call. A sprinkler spot that comes back a day after cleaning is a mineral deposit, so it needs a separate treatment and a return visit rather than a faster pass. Ask us on the first visit which pattern your lot follows.
Windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Both are easy to notice from the yard. If you see either, call us. Haze on the glass is an outside job, but a film on windows inside the house is a separate job, since this visit covers the outside only. The crew checks the cause, and if the problem is a sagging hanger or a slope issue, the crew tells you so and does not sell a second cleaning.
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 crews clean gutters and windows across the city, and we know the streets where the leaf load and grime film are heaviest. Booking is simple. Call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate and a date. When the spring and fall windows fill up, the calendar gets full fast, so the earlier you call, the easier it is to get the day you want. To schedule service, call or text with the stories and the photo. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most homeowners expect, and most window cleaners never touch the gutters, so one crew handling both saves a visit. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The crew arrives with its own water and power, and it works from the ground and the ladder without coming inside. If a corner of the house cannot be reached safely, the crew photographs it and tells you before moving on. Our professional window cleaning stays on the outside of the house, and our cleaning services reach every window that faces the yard, the street or the drive. The crew wipes each sill as it goes. For a clear calendar and a date you can plan around, call (866) 435-6328 and we will get you on the schedule.
Yes. The same two people do window and gutter cleaning in one visit, and they do the gutters first so the glass is not dirtied afterward.
Quotes for residential properties come from the stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the story count and a photo of the house front, and we will give you the exact figure.
Yes, because the outside takes the rain dust, sprinkler spots and grime that build up on residential window glass faster than the inside does, and regular outside cleanings make it easier to remove dirt before it dries on.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, when leaves and tree residue are heaviest. Book early, because those windows fill up first.
No, if the crew works gutters first and glass last. Once the gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed, the runoff has a few minutes to drain away from the wall before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the glass cleaning. None of these are billed as extras.
This visit covers the exterior glass only, and we do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. If you own one of the condos, call us first so we can quote it from the photos.
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 ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
