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 runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Virginia, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, when pollen and 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.
The number depends on stories and window count, and we give it to you by phone or text before we come. Ask for a written estimate and the number we quote is the number on the invoice. Bundling the window and gutter cleaning into one visit is always less than two separate jobs, and we tell you the exact saving on the quote.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that is hard to reach, oversized picture windows, gutters packed with needles and leaves that have not been opened in years, 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. Spring pollen film on the glass and the paste in the gutters are the usual reason a spring visit takes longer than a fall one.
Our cleaning solutions are purified water, so the glass dries without streaks, and the crew uses it to remove dirt from the frames and sills as well. For most homes the price is set once, from the stories and window count, and the crew does not add to it on the ladder. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same method, though multi-story buildings are quoted per building. If you have a set of picture windows or a large set of doors, say so on the phone so we can count them correctly. Many homeowners schedule regular cleanings, and we can keep the same quote for repeat visits when the window count stays the same.
To get your exact figure, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has. We will come back with a number and the reason for it. If the house has interior and exterior windows, we only quote the exterior glass on this visit, and the interior glass is a separate request.
| 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.
On our Dranesville jobs, most customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Professional window cleaning is timed around the seasons, not the calendar: we schedule after the spring bloom and again after the last leaves come down. Among the cleaning services we offer, this is the one most homeowners set once and keep. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and spring is when the glass shows it first.
In spring we find a film on south-facing glass and a paste packed into the gutters and elbows. In fall the trouble is a wet leaf mat that holds water against the fascia, and the grit and runoff that come with it. Storms and wind seasons move the dates by a week or two, and we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit 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 a construction site collects dust on the sills faster than the others. Window cleaners who only come once a year will tell you the glass looks fine; the haze shows up when the sun is low, and that is the sign windows need it. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in rain is the sign gutters need it, and the earlier you catch clogged gutters, the less water damage you get at the fascia and the foundation.
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 Dranesville and the homes on the streets around it, and we are happy to schedule service for any address in the city. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a window and gutter cleaning quote the same day you ask. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring months and the leaf months, when our calendar fills first.
We cover residential window cleaning and gutter work for homeowners, plus residential properties that are rented out, such as condos. Clean windows and clear gutters both depend on the same ladder setup, so we do them in one visit, we cover every window on the list, and the gutters and downspouts are done before the glass. If a sill is cracked or a screen is torn, we note it and tell you; we do not sell the repair.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside and calls before the truck arrives. When you are ready, use the booking form or call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we will confirm the date in writing.
Yes. Our crew offers window cleaning services and cleans gutters and downspouts in one visit: the gutters first, then the glass, so nothing runs back onto clean windows. It is the same two people on the ladder.
The number comes from the stories and the window count. Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories, and we give you the exact figure by phone or text before we come.
Usually the outside is where the grime is. Film from spring, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass in Dranesville, and interior cleaning does not touch any of it.
Most of our customers book in late spring and again in late fall. Those are the times the spring bloom and the leaves are heaviest, and booking then keeps the dates predictable.
Not when the order is right. Gutters first, glass last: the leaves and grit come down the wall when the gutters are cleared, so the glass is done after the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are done as part of the job. Tracks are included on most houses and we confirm it on the phone.
Exterior glass only on this visit, and we do not clean windows inside the house. Pressure washing falls under washing services we book separately, so it is a separate request.
No, 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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
