Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dripping off the roofline lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Virginia, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, which is when the dust and leaves build up enough to matter. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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.
Window washing and gutter work are priced 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 quote counts every window on the house, not only the front. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-ons surfacing later. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, what drives the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large count of oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with leaves and seeds, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Each of those changes the time on the ladder, which is why we ask about them before we give the number.
Across Virginia, the fastest way to get an exact figure is to text a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough window count. A photo lets us see the roof pitch, the gutter run and the glass before the crew is scheduled, so the estimate matches the job. Condos and townhomes with shared walls get the same treatment, quoted per unit with the same grime and runoff checks on each run, and the crew will remove dirt from each sill before it leaves. Multi-story buildings are quoted by stories, the same way as a 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.
Most of our Burke Centre customers book both twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Booking the window and gutter cleaning together keeps the gutters and the glass on the same schedule, so nothing is cleaned and then dirtied again by the other job. Some owners ask for interior and exterior work in one booking, and ours covers the exterior, where clean windows lose their shine first.
In spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass is the first thing we see, and the seed paste in the gutters is the second. By late spring the seed drop is heavy enough that the downspout elbows are packed. In fall, the leaf load is the main concern: wet leaves form a mat in the gutters, and the glass collects grime from the same runoff that comes off the roof. Storm and wind seasons, including the hurricane and tropical remnant season across Virginia, can move these dates, so we confirm timing when you book.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings, so those customers tend to stay on a three- to four-visit cycle. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses also need the extra visit. A house near a busy road or active construction collects more grime on the glass, so it tends to need the same schedule. Regular cleanings keep the job predictable, and we tell you after the first visit which schedule your lot actually needs.
The haze you see on the glass only when the sun sits low is the sign the windows need attention, and it is the first thing most owners notice when curb appeal slips. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter during rain is the sign the gutters need attention. Either one is worth a call before the next season starts.
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 Burke Centre, and to schedule service you can call (866) 435-6328 or text us. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count and the gutter run before we set a date. Our booking lead time is the one listed on the booking form, and the crew calls before arriving.
Two busy windows fill our calendar: the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. Booking early in those windows gets you a slot before the schedule tightens. Our washing services and cleaning services cover the exterior of residential properties and the gutters and downspouts that feed them, so you get one crew in one visit rather than two appointments. Residential and commercial scope is listed on the booking form, so check there before you book a commercial building.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We do not come inside, so windows inside the house are not part of the visit, and we do not promise a same-day visit unless the booking form shows one for your date. Our window cleaners work from the outside with a water-fed pole, so the glass is handled without a ladder on the siding in most cases. Our cleaning solutions are purified water, so the panes dry without streaks. Clogged gutters and the water damage they cause are the reason many customers book the bundle, and we point that out on the estimate when we see it.
Yes, our crew does both in one visit, and the professional window cleaning is done after the gutters. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the work is done in the right order. The same two people handle both jobs, so you deal with one company and one invoice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text for our window cleaning services. We do not quote a figure without seeing the house, because the gutter run and the window count set the time on the ladder. Text us a photo of the front and the window count, and we send the estimate.
For a residential window here, the outside carries most of what dulls the glass: spring dust, rain film, and sprinkler spots. Clean glass on the outside also lets the inside show through, so a clean inside on a dirty outside still looks hazy. Most customers book the outside alone and find it is the bigger change.
Most of our Burke Centre customers book in spring, once the seed drop finishes, and again in fall, after the leaves come down. Across Virginia the pattern is the same, spring and fall. Book the date that fits your calendar, and we confirm the timing before the crew arrives.
No, because the gutters come first and the glass comes last. When the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall during a gutter clearing, they would land on any window below. Doing the glass after the gutters means nothing dirty is left to run across it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are cleaned as part of the window work. These are included in the number we quote, so there is nothing added later.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean the interior of the windows, and we do not do pressure washing. If you want the inside done, that is a separate arrangement, and we tell you that when you book.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before so the glass is dry, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. That is the whole list, and the crew sends photos of every run before leaving.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
