Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Blacksburg jobs most customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, which is when the leaves and grime build up.
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 a bundle booked for one visit costs less than booking two separate cleanings. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is built from the same two inputs every time. Residential and commercial glass is quoted separately, so the numbers here are for houses.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it changes the setup. Oversized panes and picture windows take longer to reach and rinse. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles, pollen and leaves, take more time than a run cleared on schedule. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line does not come off with cleaning at all, and we say so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping come with the visit at no added line. Our cleaning solutions are purified water on the glass, and we add nothing to the gutter runs.
For a firm number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the stories visible, and tell us roughly how many windows you have. For a typical single-family home that is enough for us to quote the window and gutter cleaning services in one call. If you have a mix of standard and picture windows, say so, because the picture windows are the ones that change the time on site.
A recent Blacksburg job shows how this works. The quote moved because of the number of stories and how much debris had built up in the gutters, and the crew found that the back run needed the extra time. You can see the details of that job on its own page. The quote stayed the same once the crew arrived, which is how we want every quote to 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.
On our Blacksburg jobs most customers settle into regular cleanings twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
At the spring visit we find a film of dust on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. The leaf load comes in the fall, when the wet leaf mat sits in the runs and clogged gutters start spilling over the edge. Storms and high winds can move these dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar when we set the visit.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters full of needles and grit between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a gutter that overflows at the same corner in every storm can lead to water damage at the fascia. Multi-story buildings usually need a longer setup on the same day. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than the rest of the neighborhood.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze on the glass that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspouts.
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 crew handles professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning across Blacksburg, and we work the same way on every house. To book, call or text us, tell us the number of stories, and send a photo of the house front. That is enough for an estimate, and we can usually tell you the earliest open day on the phone.
Lead time changes with the season. The busy windows are the spring period and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills fastest. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we call before we come so you know the crew is on the way.
We clean residential properties and clean windows of every size, and every residential window gets the same attention, including the sill. Clean glass does a lot for curb appeal, and our window cleaning services are built around the outside of the house. When you are ready to schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the day and the arrival window.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff from the gutters off the clean glass.
The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. It is not a fixed figure, so we ask for those two things first.
On the houses we clean in Blacksburg, the outside carries most of the grime: dust in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting from the hard water. Cleaning the inside does not remove dirt from the outside glass.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, after the spring dust settles, and again in the fall after the leaves come down. Booking before those windows fills the calendar early.
Not with our order of work. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass, so nothing from the runs lands on panes we have already done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the exterior side. None of those are billed as extras.
Not on this visit. Our washing services cover the exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do interior and exterior glass on one visit. We also do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. If you live in condos, tell us before booking whose gutters and windows are included. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
