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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Virginia, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall, which is when the pollen and leaves build up on the house and the glass.
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.
The price for the window and gutter bundle follows the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them separately. This page covers houses, so residential and commercial quotes go through the same phone line and get sorted at the estimate. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, and we set it before the crew arrives so you know it up front.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized panes and high picture windows, gutters that have gone years without a clean and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. This quote covers the exterior glass only. We never price interior and exterior glass as one job, since the inside of the house is not part of the visit.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough count of windows. Cleanings are scheduled by the job, so one estimate covers the gutters and the outside glass together, and the crew confirms the figure before the visit. If you want regular cleanings on a set schedule, ask for the repeat rate when you get the first estimate. Our crew handles the cleaning solutions and the water, and nothing in the quote is a surprise on the invoice.

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 Brambleton customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing the gutters and the glass in one visit makes sense. Plenty of window cleaners only do the glass, so homeowners end up booking two trips. Across Virginia, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late May, and our fall visit usually falls in late October to November.
In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and catkin debris packs the gutters. In fall, it is the leaf load and the wet mat that settles in the runs, and clogged gutters are the first thing the crew checks. May, June and September are the wettest months here, so the runs fill fastest then. Across Virginia, hurricanes and tropical remnants can move the dates, so we call before we come rather than working to a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or a house near a busy road or construction. A third story turns a morning into a longer job, and multi-story buildings need the ladder setup worked out before the crew arrives. Those are the places where cleaning services pay off most, and professional window cleaning on a regular schedule keeps the spotting from building up, which also keeps the curb appeal up between visits. A gutter that overflows in a wet spell is how water damage starts at the fascia and the wall below it. The glass on the windows inside is not part of this visit, so keep those on your own schedule.
Windows need attention when you see a haze only when the sun is low. Gutters and downspouts need attention when water sheets over the edge in the rain. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and our crew can look at it on the next visit.
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 does window and gutter cleaning for homeowners across Brambleton, and the first step is an estimate by phone or text using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We can often give you a window for the visit, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
Booking usually fills up in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season. If you want a slot in those months, it helps to ask early. Outside those windows the calendar has more room, and we can usually fit a visit in with less notice.
We work on residential properties, so each residential window is done from the outside by the same crew handling every window and every run. The sill is wiped on the way out, and the crew leaves clean windows and clear gutters behind. If you want to schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house and the number of stories.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. Those washing services are quoted together, and we clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the gutter water does not run back onto windows we have already done.
We quote window cleaning services and gutter work together by phone or text, based on the stories and the size of the house. Send us the story count and a photo of the front, and we will quote it before the crew comes out.
Yes, the outside carries tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up as grime on the glass between visits, so the outside needs its own cleaning even when the inside is kept up.
Most of our Brambleton customers book in late spring and in fall, when the tree dust and leaves are heavy. Across Virginia the spring visit usually lands in mid to late May, and the fall visit in late October to November. Booking early helps in those busy weeks.
Not on our jobs. The crew clears gutters and downspouts first, and the runoff is flushed out before the glass is touched. If the glass were washed first, someone would have to clean it a second time once the gutter water had run down the wall.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the outside glass, and we do not bill them as an add-on.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing. Owners of condos can ask about the outside glass of their own unit when they call.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked, and that is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
