Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Across Virginia, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when the glass and the gutters both need it most.
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 washing and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we will give you that number before a crew is ever booked. Our window cleaning services and washing services are quoted from the same two numbers, so to see where your house starts, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer on the ladder, and heavy grime on the glass adds time per pane. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows that need more handling per pane. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear and flush, while houses on regular cleanings run quicker. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are never billed as extras.
Our quote covers the exterior glass and the gutters only, so we do not price interior and exterior glass as one job. Here is what we ask for before we quote. Tell us how many stories the house has, roughly how many windows face the street and the yard, and send one photo of the front of the house. For the gutters, tell us whether the trees hang over the roof, and whether the gutters have been done recently. Most homeowners can answer all of that in a minute, and the answers are enough for us to give a firm number. For commercial buildings, the same questions apply, and we quote per building.
| 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 gutters and exterior glass twice a year, and one crew does both in one visit. Across Virginia, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late May, and the fall visit in late October to November. Clogged gutters after a wet season are the usual reason a spring visit gets booked early, because water damage starts where the overflow runs down the wall.
On our Virginia jobs, the spring pollen is the main thing we find. By late May the glass carries a yellow pollen film, especially on the south-facing panes, and the gutters hold sap and seed paste in the elbows and downspouts. The crew brings its own cleaning solutions and purified water, so nothing has to run off your hose. Fall brings the leaf load, and we see wet leaf mats that have started to break down and hold water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we book against what the house needs rather than a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit, and we say so after the first one. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, so those customers are on a three or four month schedule. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves mineral spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses need the extra pass. A house on a busy road or near construction picks up grit on the glass faster than most. Multi-story buildings take a longer visit than a single-story house, and we book residential and commercial jobs on the same calendar. Those are the cases we check at the first visit.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Haze on the windows inside the house is a different problem and not part of this visit. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspouts. Either sign means 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 cleaning services and professional window cleaning cover houses and buildings across the Front Royal area, and we run the schedule from one calendar so that you are not waiting on a separate crew for each job. Booking is simple: call us or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we give you a firm estimate. Lead time is listed on the booking page for your area. In the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, our calendar fills faster, so booking early keeps your slot. We call before we come, so you always know when the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
Most homeowners in Front Royal want the gutters and glass done in the same visit because it keeps the curb appeal even and saves a second trip. Each visit covers every window on the outside of the house, in the same visit as the gutters, and once a window crew and a gutter crew have both been on a job, you can see the difference. We also handle commercial buildings, and we quote those per building. If you have a multi-story building or a set of buildings on one site, send us the count and we will schedule service around your needs.
Yes, the same two people do both on one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not end up on clean windows.
We give you that number by phone or text, based on the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for a written estimate.
Usually yes, because the outside of a residential window takes the seasonal film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Those build up on the exterior no matter how clean the inside is.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, once the tree bloom is over, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Across Virginia the same two visits are the norm.
No, if we do the work in the right order. Gutters first, glass last, so the water and grit from the gutters and downspouts are gone before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and we remove dirt packed in them on the same visit.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home, and that is true for residential properties and condos alike. Turn the sprinklers off, move your cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is all we ask.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
