Yes, 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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Virginia, most of the houses we clean are on a spring and fall schedule, and that rhythm holds in Harrisonburg too.
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 services by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booked together in one visit, the bundle costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work out the figure from there.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are the same things you can see from the sidewalk: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a window count that includes oversized panes and picture windows, gutters nobody has opened in years, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. The same goes for multi-story buildings, where the upper runs are harder to reach. A boom or scissor lift changes the number when the back run is too high to reach from a ladder. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is what we find on the day. A house with heavy tree cover over the roof usually carries more debris into the gutters than an open lot, and the wet mat of leaves and needles adds time. Interior and exterior glass is not what we do on this visit, so the figure covers only the outside. Our crew photographs every run before and after, and the photos go to your phone before we leave.
For a residential property with a lot of glass, the cleaning solutions we use matter less than the water. We rinse with purified water so the glass dries clean without streaks, and we brush the frames and sills to remove dirt before it can come back the next time it rains. Commercial buildings and residential and commercial sites use the same method, but the scheduling and the per-building numbers differ, and we quote those separately.
Regular cleanings keep the bill down over time, because a gutter that is cleared every spring and fall does not pack solid the way one left for three years does. Tell us the stories, the window count and whether the gutters have been done recently, and we will give you the figure before anyone climbs a ladder.
| 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.
Across Virginia, most of our customers book both jobs twice a year, once in mid to late May and once in late October to November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Our professional window cleaning and gutter work follow the seasons, not a fixed monthly plan.
What we find at the spring visit is the pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the elbows of the downspouts. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and the difference shows most after the pollen season. In the fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the gutters after the trees drop. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, and when a hurricane remnant comes through we check the runs afterward.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters filling between cleanings. Gutters that stay full can lead to water damage on the fascia and the wall below. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the rest of the neighborhood.
Watch for two signs. Windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. 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.
We clean exterior glass and gutters for residential properties and residential window customers across Harrisonburg, and the city as a whole is in our route. Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we come back with an estimate. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year, when our calendar fills, are the spring and fall visits.
To schedule service, call or text us, and we will confirm a window. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Every window on the outside of the house gets done, including the upper floors from the pole, and every sill gets wiped. For a window and gutter cleaning job on a house with many panes, the one-visit bundle is the simplest way to get clean windows and gutters without two separate bills. If you are comparing window cleaners in Harrisonburg, ask whether they will clean the gutters too.
If you are not sure whether your house is on our route, text a photo and the address, and we will tell you. Condos are fine to ask about too: tell us the building's stories and how many windows are yours. We would rather answer that question before we send a crew than after.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so you do not need two companies.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 with the story count and a photo of the front.
On our Harrisonburg jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so an outside-only cleaning still makes a visible difference. The windows inside are a separate job we do not do on this visit.
Most of our customers book in late spring and in late fall. Ask us for a date and we will check the calendar.
No. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so the grit and runoff from the runs has already drained before anyone touches the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the standard visit unless they are packed with grime, in which case we tell you on the phone.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. The washing services on this visit stop at the outside of the glass: no interior windows, no pressure washing, and neither one goes on the bill.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
