The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the 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 the spring and fall, when dust and leaves build up fastest.
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.
Our window washing services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit with our washing services costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-ons for work that comes up on the day.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds when it arrives. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer. Oversized panes and a high count of small windows add time on the glass, and grime that has built up for years adds more time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are priced on that work. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our Great Falls jobs show how the number comes together. On one recent house, the windows and gutters were quoted from the story count and the window count sent by text, with a photo of the front of the house. The crew found a clogged downspout and a run of heavy grit along the back, and both were already in the number once they were photographed. Getting your exact figure is simple: send us the number of stories, your approximate window count, and a photo of the front of the house, and we will call you back with the same number we will invoice. Gutters and downspouts get flushed and checked every visit, so the job is finished when the water runs clear. Pressure washing and interior glass are not part of these window cleaning services. Runoff from a clogged run is the first sign of trouble, and it is part of what we look at before we quote. Commercial properties and condos are quoted per building, so the number you get covers the whole site. Remove dirt where it sits, not where it is convenient, and the glass comes out clear. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for your estimate.

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.
Across Virginia, most of our customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs, on residential and commercial buildings alike.
What we find at each visit follows the seasons. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass, a sticky paste packs the gutters, and the downspout elbows clog first. In fall the leaf load is what we clear before the first hard freeze, and runs that sagged under the weight are the ones that get checked. Storm and wind seasons move the dates in both directions. We never do interior and exterior glass on the same visit, so the dates you book cover the outside only.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a mineral treatment, not cleaning solutions alone. A house with large picture windows near a busy road collects a film on the glass faster than most. Regular cleanings on those homes keep the windows and runs from getting to the point where a single visit is not enough.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze only when the sun is low, and the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Those two signs are the reason the spring and fall schedule works for most homes. Book the visit and we will tell you which pattern your house follows.
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 crews have worked throughout Great Falls, and we confirm the neighborhoods we have covered when you call. Booking our cleaning services is simple: send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will give you an estimate and a date. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the first open day when we speak. Our crew calls before it comes, so you know who is on the ladder and when.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring bloom season and the fall leaf season. During those stretches our calendar fills faster, so booking early keeps your preferred day. Our crews are professional window cleaners, and every house gets professional window cleaning in the same order, with the same photos sent before the crew leaves. Clean windows and clear gutters matter for curb appeal, and the work protects the house from water damage when clogged gutters back up. Multi-story buildings and homes with many windows are scheduled with extra crew time, which is why the stories count matters.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not clean windows inside the house. You will get photos of each run and each pane when the job is done. If we find something beyond cleaning, such as a loose hanger, we photograph it and report it rather than selling you a repair.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both in one visit. Gutters are cleared first and the glass is done last, so nothing washes back onto clean windows.
A residential window job on a two-story house is priced from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote the exact figure from that.
The outside takes the dust, the rain grit and the sprinkler spots, and those build up faster than the inside does. Cleaning the outside keeps every window clear where the weather hits it.
Most of our customers book across Virginia in spring and again in fall, around the pollen and leaf seasons. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a date that fits your house.
No, because we clear the gutters first and clean the glass last. If the glass were washed first, someone would have to wash it again once the gutters were done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the same visit.
We clean the exterior glass only on residential properties, and we do not do pressure washing or interior window cleaning. Ask us at booking if you need either handled separately.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
