Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips across the spring and fall cleanings.
We have run this bundle across Virginia for years, and the spring and fall visits are when most homeowners want it done. Tell us your story count and roughly how many windows you have, and call (866) 435-6328 for the number.
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.
Window washing and gutter cleaning are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Some window cleaners quote by the pane, but we quote by the house, so booking gutters and windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 for that number before you book.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized panes, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts get cleared as part of the job, along with screen rinsing and sill wiping, and none of it is billed as an extra. Windows inside stay out of the quote because this visit covers the outside only. Water damage at the fascia is the usual cost of putting off clogged gutters, which is why we would rather see them every spring and fall. The story count is the first number we ask for, because multi-story buildings and tall houses both need the ladder set up differently.
On a Glen Allen job, a homeowner with a two-story house, a steep back roof and a row of tall picture windows at the rear called us after a window crew had skipped the gutters. The gutters were packed, the downspouts were blocked, and the water had been running behind the fascia. We cleared the roof, flushed every downspout, and then did the glass. The quote came from the story count, the window count and the gutter condition, and it held. Professional window cleaning on a house like that is one visit, and clean gutters and glass do a lot for curb appeal. If you text us a photo of the front of your house, we can start from the same three things.
| 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 Glen Allen customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for this calendar. In spring the glass collects a pollen film on the south-facing panes, and the gutters hold a paste of spring debris in the elbows. In fall the leaf load is what we find packed into the gutters and downspouts. A residential window on the south side picks up more of the film than the north side, so we check every window on that side first. Most homeowners want clean windows back once the pollen starts to show.
Some houses need a third visit, which we book as one of our regular cleaning services. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and those need a mineral treatment instead of a second cleaning. Residential properties near a busy road or a construction site pick up a film that a single visit does not keep off the glass.
You will see when windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low, or grime collecting on the sill. You will see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in the rain. Either one is a reason to schedule service instead of waiting for the next visit.
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 window cleaning services have covered gutters and exterior windows in several Glen Allen neighborhoods, and the crew knows how the lots and the tree lines in each one affect the work. Booking starts with an estimate for our washing services by phone or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you the number. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Condos with their own gutter runs and outside glass are booked the same way.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop. Our calendar fills in those stretches, so the earlier you ask for a slot, the easier it is to get the date you want. Outside those windows the lead time is shorter, and we will tell you the first open date when you call (866) 435-6328.
In those stretches the grime on the glass and the runoff from packed gutters are what we see most, so the crew clears the gutters and downspouts before it touches the windows. A soft brush and purified water remove dirt from the frames without scratching them.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so dirty water from the roof never lands on clean panes.
We do not quote a figure without the details. The number comes from the stories and the approximate size of the house, and tall picture windows count toward the window total. We give it to you by phone or text before anything is booked. If the job is a residential and commercial mix, say so on the call and we will quote both parts.
For most houses here, yes. The outside takes the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those sit on the glass no matter how clean the inside is. Choosing interior and exterior glass is a separate decision; this visit covers the outside only.
Most of our Glen Allen customers book in late spring and in late fall. Those are the regular cleanings that clear the spring build-up and the leaves before they settle, and they are the easiest dates to get on the calendar.
Not on our jobs. We clean the gutters and flush every downspout first, then give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the windows. That order is the reason we do both in one visit.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Frames get mild cleaning solutions, and the glass gets purified water. Tracks are included in the same visit when they are reachable from the outside.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this visit, and we say so up front so the scope is clear before we arrive.
No, 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 unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
