Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, with the gutters done before the glass. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall cleaning seasons across Virginia, so the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. To get that number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of 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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than two separate bookings. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The cleaning solutions for frames and sills are included in the price too.
On our jobs, the quote moves with what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add hours to the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need a longer pass. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is something cleaning alone will not remove, so we flag it before we quote it.
Across Virginia, the fastest way to get your exact number is to send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Tell us roughly how many windows face the street and how many are picture windows. Our quote covers the outside only, so if you are asking about interior and exterior work together, tell us and we will say what we can do. We will tell you what the bundle costs for your house and whether a second visit is worth planning, before anyone sets foot on the ladder.
A few things our crew sees on jobs in general: when gutters have not been touched for a long stretch, the first pass is slower because the grit has set into the downspout elbows. Regular cleanings keep that from happening, and a quote for a house that has been on a schedule is usually a smaller number than one for a house that has skipped years. Pollen film on glass takes an extra pass compared with a light dust, and that is in the number too.
Ask for the written estimate before you book. It lists stories, window count, the gutter run lengths we measured and any add-on we would need your approval for. Nothing gets added on the day that was not on that estimate.
| 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.
Many homeowners who book professional window cleaning and gutter work across Virginia pair the two in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar.
On our jobs, the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutters. Across Virginia the spring visit usually falls in mid to late May. In the fall we are clearing the leaf load that drops after the first hard frost and checking for runoff running over the edge where the gutters sag. Across Virginia, hurricanes and tropical remnants can push the dates back, so we call before we come.
Cascades gets about 47.9 inches of precipitation a year, with the wettest months in May, June and September. Clogged gutters in those months are the ones that overflow, and water that sheets over the edge runs down the wall toward the foundation, which is how water damage starts. Snow falls here in December, January, February and March, about 21.0 inches a year, and a clogged run that freezes in winter can hold water against the fascia.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that most often with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another, because the spots come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the glass and needs a closer look.
Multi-story buildings with several roof levels are harder to keep on a single schedule, and the lower windows tend to pick up more grime from splash-back than the upper ones do. We plan those houses around the access they need.
You will know the windows need attention when haze shows up that you only notice when the sun is low, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal from the street. Haze on the outside is what we clean. Fog between the panes of the windows inside the house is a seal problem that cleaning will not fix. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running out the downspouts. If you see either, text a photo and we will tell you which visit comes next.
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 cover the residential properties around Cascades for window and gutter cleaning, and the booking is short. You can call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm date and a window for the arrival. Lead time depends on the season, and during the busy months the calendar fills faster, so booking early helps.
We clean the outside of every window on the house, including the upper floors from the pole, and we clean the gutters the same visit. A single visit covers the full bundle, so you do not have to coordinate two crews or two dates. Every window is checked for grime and spotting, and the frame and sill are wiped as part of the same pass. Clean windows are the result we check for before the crew moves to the next side of the house.
You do not have to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come and again when the truck is on the way. If we cannot reach a particular spot safely, the crew tells you rather than guessing, and the photo goes out with the report.
To schedule service for a residential window and gutter cleaning, tell us the stories, the approximate window count and the date you would like. We confirm the slot in writing so there is no guessing about when the crew is coming.
Yes, our crew does both. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, starting with the gutters and finishing with the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us the stories and a photo of the front, and we will tell you the exact figure before we book.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of what dulls the glass: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the outside is how you remove dirt from the glass you see from the street, and the inside can stay as it is.
Across Virginia the spring visit usually falls in mid to late May, and our fall visit lands in late October to November. Tell us which one suits your lot and we will set the date.
No, the order of work prevents it. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and finish with the glass, so nothing that comes out of them washes onto panes we have already cleaned.
Send us the building type, the number of stories and a photo of the front, and we will tell you whether a condo or a residential and commercial building is something the crew can take before you book.
Our washing services on this visit cover the exterior glass, frames and sills. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Shut the sprinklers off the evening before, clear the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside and leave the side gate open.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
