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. Most of our Fort Hunt customers book it for the spring and fall cleanings, and across Virginia the same order of work applies.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and an approximate window count. Window washing and the gutter work are quoted together, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Compared with booking window cleaners and a gutter company on their own schedules, one visit also saves a second trip. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We do not quote a bundle saving as a percentage, because the difference depends on the house in front of us.
Several things move the quote, and each one is something the crew actually finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer to reach, and multi-story buildings add setup time on every floor. Oversized panes, picture windows and a large count of windows add time at the glass, and each residential window with a screen adds time at the sill. Clogged gutters, the kind packed with needles and leaves, need clearing before any flushing starts, and gutters that have not been opened in years run longer for the same reason. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be checked. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, and cleaning solutions alone will not remove it. Left alone, clogged gutters can also lead to water damage at the fascia. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Fort Hunt house, the quotes that surprise people most are the ones where the gutters were never cleaned in years and the glass has built up a film of pollen, road dust and grime. Our crew handles both in one pass, but the crew has to remove dirt from every pane first, so the first visit usually takes longer than the ones after it. We would rather tell you that up front than discover it on the ladder. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the number of stories, and we can give you a firm number before we schedule anything. The price comes from the house, not from a set package, and that is the honest way to quote cleaning services like this.
| 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 Fort Hunt customers book both jobs twice a year, one visit in spring and one in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Virginia the spring visit lands in mid to late May, and the fall visit is set for November to early December, so the timing is a practical choice rather than a guess. In spring we find a film of pollen on south-facing glass and a paste of pollen and seeds packed into the gutters. In fall the main problem is the leaf load, which settles into the runs and stays wet until the first hard freeze. Every window that can be reached from the ground or a pole gets checked on each visit, and the visit is planned to remove dirt from the frames as well as the pane, so clean windows have a better chance of staying clean.
Some houses need a third visit, and we can usually tell which ones on the first trip. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit coming down between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after the cleaning, and those need more attention than a standard visit. A house close to a busy road or active construction gets a steady dust load on the frames and sills. Regular cleanings keep that buildup from setting. Across Virginia, storm season brings hurricanes and tropical remnants, and those can move the dates, so we confirm the timing with you before the window cleaning services are booked.
Two signs tell you when windows need attention sooner than planned. The first is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon, which is usually dust and pollen dried onto the glass. The second is gutters that send water sheeting over the edge during rain, which means the runs are holding debris or the slope needs a look. If you see either, text us a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what it is.
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 have cleaned gutters and exterior windows across Fort Hunt, and the work covers residential properties, including single-family homes, townhouses and condos alike. Our window washing services cover the exterior glass, and the gutter work is booked with them on the same visit. The estimate starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text where you give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. From there we set a date, and the lead time depends on how full the calendar is that week. To schedule service, reply with two dates that work for you. In the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, the calendar fills first, so booking early helps. Professional window cleaning and gutter work share one visit, which saves a second trip. If the building is a residential and commercial mix, say so when you call so the crew can confirm the job before a date is set.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know when to expect us. Gutters and downspouts are cleared before the glass, because runoff from the roof is what would otherwise reach the clean panes. If a section of the roof or a run cannot be reached safely from the ground or with a boom or scissor lift, we photograph it and tell you before we leave, rather than guessing at the rest of the job.
Yes, and it is the same crew. Our two people clean the gutters first and then the outside of the windows, so the wash water from the roof never reaches clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front, and we will quote it before anything is scheduled.
The outside takes the brunt of pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots here, so it gets dirty faster than the inside. Most of our customers find the exterior is the part they notice first in the spring light, and clean glass and clear gutters add to curb appeal from the street.
Most of our Fort Hunt customers book in late spring and again in late fall, after the leaves drop. Across Virginia the spring and fall windows are the same, so booking early in each season keeps you ahead of the calendar.
No. We clear the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff and grit from the roof has already drained before anyone touches a window. That is the whole reason the order matters.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included on the exterior side. None of that is billed as an extra line item.
Interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only. Windows inside the house and pressure washing are not part of this service, so please book those separately if you need them.
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 the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
