Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Across Virginia, most homeowners book us for the spring and fall visits, when the spring dust and the leaf load are heaviest on the house.
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 gutter and window cleaning 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. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The sill wipe is how we remove dirt from the frame before it reaches the glass.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the number. Multi-story buildings and a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it change the setup. A window count that runs high, or oversized picture windows, adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning solutions alone, and we say so before we quote the glass.
To get the exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have, or call (866) 435-6328. We will quote from that and call before we come. A neighbor's quote on a similar house in Bon Air gives you a rough reference, but the figure you get is built from your own house.
| 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.
Across Virginia, most of our customers book regular cleanings of both gutters and exterior glass twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters and the elbows of the downspouts. In fall, it is the leaf load that matters, a wet mat that sags the runs and blocks the outlets. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, and that can lead to water damage on the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean. Residential properties near a busy road or a construction site pick up more grime than most. On those jobs we plan three or four visits a year.
You will notice the window need before the gutter need. Haze shows up when the sun is low and the glass catches it. Clogged gutters tell you when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into 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.
We schedule the window and gutter cleaning for each house on a planned route, and we keep a lead time that we confirm when you call. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us, and we give you an estimate: tell us the stories and send a photo of the house front. We handle residential and commercial work the same way, including condos and residential window jobs, with professional window cleaning on every one, and we give you a firm date once the quote is agreed.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop. If you want a slot in those weeks, ask early and we will hold it. We cover every window on the house that we can reach from the ground or a boom or scissor lift, and the sill and frame get wiped on each one, so the clean windows show the sky and not the grime.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew sends photos of the finished runs and glass to your phone before the truck leaves.
Yes. The crew that cleans your gutters is the same crew that cleans the outside of your windows, and they do both in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and tell us the window count, and we will quote it by phone or text.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here: spring tree dust, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. Clean outside glass also helps curb appeal, since haze on the front windows shows first from the street.
Across Virginia, most of our customers book in the spring and again in the fall. Ask early for those weeks, because the calendar fills then.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Once the gutters and downspouts are clear and flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows.
Our washing services include rinsing screens and wiping sills as part of the job. Tracks are wiped on the outside as well, and none of those are billed as extras.
Not on this visit. Windows inside the house are not part of our work, since we clean the exterior glass only, so interior and exterior glass are not done together. We do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
