The same two people clean your gutters and downspouts and the outside of every window in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Our window cleaning services are priced by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Virginia, most of our customers book it in the spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a roofline photo for an estimate, and clean gutters and clean glass do a lot for curb appeal.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our washing services carry no surprise add-ons. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is based on those inputs rather than a guess from the curb.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a window count with oversized panes and picture windows, gutters and downspouts packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Grime that has built up for years takes longer, because the crew has to remove dirt from the runs before the water can flow. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Virginia, the fastest way to get an exact number is to send us the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text. Those three things let us tell you where the work will land before the crew is scheduled. Some properties, like condos and buildings with a lot of glass, take a closer look, and we say so when we quote. Window washing on a condo often means more runoff to plan for at the downspouts, and we note it on the quote. If the gutters show water damage at the fascia, we photograph it and note it in the report, and we give you the number for the cleaning without bundling in any other work.

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 customers book the window and gutter work twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Across Virginia, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late May, and in Arlington the fall visit usually falls in late October to November. Gutters and exterior glass run on the same calendar, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most houses.
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 catches the leaf load that sits in the runs after the trees drop. The exterior glass is rinsed with a water-fed pole, so cleaning solutions are not part of the routine. Wind and storm seasons can move those dates, so we check the roofline before we confirm the slot.
Some properties need regular cleanings on a shorter cycle than twice a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road usually means the spots and grit come back faster, and those houses end up needing more cleanings in a year. We also clean residential and commercial buildings on the same schedule logic, and our crew will tell you if your building fits one of those patterns.
There are two signs you can watch for between visits. Haze on the glass shows up when the sun is low, and water sheeting over the edge of the gutter during rain means the run is full or sloped wrong.
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 provide cleaning services for residential properties and multi-story buildings across Arlington, and the easiest way to book is an estimate by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a photo of the house front with the number of stories. We will usually have a window in the calendar within a few weeks, and the lead time shown on our booking page is the one to plan around.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, so book early if you want to schedule service on a specific date. Outside those windows there is more room, and the crew has time to remove dirt from the frames as well. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our crew works on professional window cleaning and gutter jobs for homes and buildings alike, and we do not clean windows inside the house. If you are looking for window cleaners who handle both the gutters and the exterior glass in one trip, this is the visit. Every window on the outside gets the same rinse, which does more for curb appeal than most people expect. We also watch for clogged gutters and early signs of water damage, and we photograph them so you can decide what to do next.
Yes, and it is the same crew. Gutters are cleared first, then the glass gets done, so the dirty water does not run back down the wall onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a range without seeing those inputs.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and those are the things that make a clean interior look dull through the glass.
Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, which is the right window for the pollen and leaf loads on the glass and in the runs.
No. We do the gutters first, glass last, so nothing left on the wall washes down onto a freshly cleaned pane.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and every reachable pane on the outside of the house is done, with upper-story windows cleaned from the pole. Tracks are included on the exterior side.
Exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a roofline photo. You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the 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.
