Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and having both jobs done in one visit costs less than booking them separately. On our Colonial Heights jobs, most customers book this in the spring and in the fall, which is when the pollen and the leaves build up enough to show on the glass and in the downspouts.
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 give you the number on the phone or by text, built from how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice. The window washing and the washing services for the glass are priced from that same count. Doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the difference is worked out on the quote itself. Our window cleaning services cover exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is not bundled into this number, and the windows inside the house are never part of it. Nothing is added after the crew arrives for the basics, because downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras.
On our jobs the quote moves for a few reasons we can see from the ground. A third story or a roof steep enough that the crew has to work from a boom or scissor lift takes longer than a standard two-story house. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows that need more handling. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers sits on the glass in a way that regular cleanings will not lift, so we flag it on the visit.
Our crew gives you the number from the photo of the front of the house and a count of stories. A house with two stories, a long back run and a row of picture windows along the side will be quoted around those windows, not the front. The number you get over the phone comes from the same kind of details. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house, and we will send your number back.

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.
On our Colonial Heights jobs most customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that schedule covers the spring film and the leaf fall in the same visit. In the spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass, and the damp debris sits in the gutters and at the downspout elbows, which is what we clear first. In the fall the leaf load builds in the gutters, and clogged gutters send the runoff back against the fascia, which is how water damage starts. The same timing works for residential and commercial glass. Storms and strong wind seasons can move the dates, and we adjust the booking when the weather does.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between visits, and we see needles and grit packed into the downspouts. A sprinkler line that sprays the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate look. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass and more residue in the gutters, so the interval shortens and the glass needs more than the usual cleaning solutions. Multi-story buildings with a lot of upper glass need a lift, so those visits run longer. We tell you which of these your house has after the first visit.
Windows show when they need cleaning as a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters show it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. A rinse alone will not remove dirt that has built up on the glass. If you see either, it is time to book.
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 Colonial Heights, and most of our jobs here are on residential properties, mostly homes and the lots around them. Each residential window gets the same exterior cleaning, and condos get the same visit. Our window cleaners handle the gutters and downspouts and the glass together, so one professional window cleaning visit covers both. Booking starts with a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we use that to give you the estimate. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo. Our calendar tends to fill fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so if you want a slot in one of those, call early.
When the crew is scheduled, we call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside. Our cleaning services follow the same order on every house, and every window the crew can reach safely gets done. The job is done from the ground and from the ladder, and the photos of every run come to your phone before the truck leaves. We keep the schedule simple so that a slot on the calendar is a slot you can count on, and we do the work the same way each visit.
Yes. Our crew does both, and they clear the gutters and downspouts first and clean the glass last on the same visit, so you deal with one company and one appointment.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. A residential window job is priced from the glass count, and condos are quoted the same way. We do not guess it from the street.
Yes. The outside takes the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those show through the glass whatever the inside looks like, which is also why clean outside glass matters for curb appeal. Cleaning the windows inside does not stop the outside haze from returning, and a rinse alone will not remove dirt that is already on the frame.
Most of our Colonial Heights customers book in the spring and the fall, when the spring film and the leaves collect. Those are the months we see the most glass and gutter work here.
No, we do the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, the grit and the black runoff come down the wall, so the glass is done only after the gutters are finished and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are done as part of the exterior window work. They are not billed as separate extras.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only, and we do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
