Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so the glass only gets washed once. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Charlottesville jobs, most customers book it in spring and fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up fastest.
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 quote window washing and gutter 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. Our washing services and window cleaning services go on one ticket with the gutter work, so the number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it covers the full job.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, the window count and any picture windows, which take longer per pane, gutters nobody has opened in years or 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. We quote the exterior only, so interior and exterior glass are never priced together on one visit.
On a Charlottesville visit, a two-story house with a full run of windows and clogged gutters is the typical case where the bundle makes the most sense. Send a photo of the front of the house by text along with your story count, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you which items on that list apply before the crew is scheduled. Regular cleanings on a set schedule keep the grime from building up, which keeps the glass and gutters easier to maintain between visits.
| 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 customers book both gutters and windows twice a year. Across Virginia, the spring visit lands in mid to late May and the fall visit in November to early December, which is why one crew and one visit covers the window and gutter cleaning for the season.
In spring, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as a paste, and clogged gutters are where water damage starts once the spring rain comes back. In fall, the leaf load comes down in a wet mat that blocks downspouts. Across Virginia, storm season brings hurricanes and tropical remnants that can shift those dates, so we look at the house each visit rather than running the calendar blindly. A film like that often needs cleaning solutions as well as water, and the crew rinses them off before they dry on the glass.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction picks up more residue on the glass, and on multi-story buildings the upper glass gets its own pass from the pole. On those, we tend to see the need for cleaning come up sooner than the standard schedule. The windows inside are not part of this visit. This page covers residential homes only, so residential and commercial jobs with a different scope are a separate conversation.
Two signs to watch for. Windows need a cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down 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 provides cleaning services across Charlottesville, and the same process goes to every house. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we handle the gutters and windows as one job. To schedule service, send the story count and that photo. We schedule against our calendar, which fills up in the two busy windows of the year, the spring tree-bloom season and fall leaf season, so booking early in those months gets you a slot sooner.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside. If a sill, a section of glass or a gutter run cannot be reached safely from the ground or a boom or scissor lift, we photograph it and tell you before we charge for anything beyond the quote.
Our crew works as a professional window cleaning service, so we bring the tools, water and access equipment rather than asking you to supply anything. Whether it is a single story with a few panes or a house with every window in the back and front, the same window cleaners handle the gutters on one schedule, so you do not have to coordinate two separate companies or two separate visits. Clean glass also does a lot for curb appeal, and the crew checks each sill before leaving.
Yes, on our residential window jobs it is the same two people doing both in one visit. We start with the gutters and downspouts, then finish with the glass, so the windows only get washed once.
We do not give a number here because it depends on the square footage and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a fixed number before we schedule.
On our Charlottesville jobs, the outside carries most of the grime here: tree film in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. Interior glass can look fine while the outside is hazed, and runoff from the roof leaves streaks on the lower panes. Cleaning the outside is how you remove dirt that has baked onto the glass, and condos get the same treatment.
Across Virginia, the spring visit lands in mid to late May and the fall visit in November to early December. Booking before those windows fill is the easiest way to get a slot.
No, because the gutters go first. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass is washed after the gutters are done and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the window cleaning, so you do not see them as a separate line on the invoice.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside, and we do not pressure wash residential properties on the same visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
