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 dirty from the roof lands on the panes we have just finished. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Across Virginia, most of our customers book this twice a year, in spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves are heaviest.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job rather than billed as extras.
What changes the number on the day is what the crew finds. A third story or a roof steep enough that we have to work from a boom or scissor lift takes longer than a single-story run. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes that need more care on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more time to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, and washing alone does not lift it off the glass.
Texting us a photo of the front of the house, with your stories and a rough window count, is the quickest way to get a firm number. We will tell you what the crew expects to find before we book the date. On our Brandermill jobs, a two-story house with a long gutter run and a mix of standard and picture windows is a common case, and the quote for it moves mostly on the number of stories and whether the back run needs the lift. Window washing, washing services and window cleaning services are all priced from the same site walk, so there is no second visit to add cost later. Our crew does not charge for the phone estimate, and the walk-through photos come with the quote. We clear the grime and the leaf mat out of the gutters and downspouts, and clear the runoff path, before we touch the glass, which is how we avoid having to clean the same windows twice. Remove dirt from the roofline first and the glass stays clean longer after we leave. Condos with shared roofs are quoted per building, not per unit, so the bundle number reflects the whole roofline.
| 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 both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our Brandermill jobs, the spring visit lands in mid to late May and the fall visit in November to early December, after the last leaves drop and before the hard freezes. Our crew works on residential and commercial buildings, and the schedule below applies to houses.
What we find at each visit follows the season. In late spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the downspout elbows, which is why the window and gutter visit is timed then. In the fall we find the wet leaf mat in the gutters and the grit that washed down the wall, and the crew uses cleaning solutions only where water alone will not lift it. Storm and wind seasons, including hurricanes and tropical remnants across Virginia, can move the dates a few weeks in either direction.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the glass can stay clear. Our crew will tell you on the first visit which of those applies to your lot, and we schedule the rest from there. Our customers who book regular cleanings usually see the most consistent results, since the frequency keeps the buildup from setting. Interior and exterior glass are treated differently, and on this visit we only do the exterior. The picture windows on the front of a house collect the most visible haze, so they are usually the first to show that a visit is due.
You know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You know gutters need it 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.
Our crew works across Brandermill, and the cleaning services we offer here are the same across the neighborhood. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate at (866) 435-6328 that covers the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Once we know the stories and the window count, the crew picks a date and calls before they come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our window cleaners and the gutter crew work from the outside of the house, so windows inside stay untouched and you do not need to clear a path inside. Professional window cleaning means the same purified-water method on every window and every pane, whether the house is a single story or has multi-story buildings with upper windows reached from a pole. Lead time depends on the calendar, and the two busy windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills first. Book early in those months.
The crew also checks for water damage around the roofline and fascia while the gutters are open, since clogged gutters are often the first sign of a leak that will show up later on the inside walls. We report what we find in photos. If a run is sagging or a seam is dripping, we tell you what the crew saw and leave the decision to you. Our goal is to keep your curb appeal up and your glass clear without adding work you did not ask for.
Yes. Our crew does both on residential properties, and the gutters are done first and the glass last in the same visit.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before you book.
Yes. The outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and an inside cleaning does not reach any of them.
Most of our customers here book in the spring visit window, mid to late May, or the fall visit window, November to early December. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us for a date.
No. Gutters go first and glass last, so the runoff from the roof has already drained before we touch the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras, so the clean windows you get back look finished from the outside.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the glass only. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing on this visit.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
