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 it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Virginia, most of our customers book these two jobs together in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. To get your number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately. Our window washing is quoted the same way. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and that number is built from the stories and window count you tell us. This quote covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior glass are not billed together here. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the ones the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that needs more time on the ladder, a large count of window panes or oversized picture windows, grime built up on the sills, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which cleaning alone will not remove. We photograph what we find before we start, so you hear about any of it before work begins.
For the experience side, we have not yet taken a Highland Springs case we can name here, so we would rather give you the exact number than a guess. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with the number of stories and a rough window count, and we will send a firm figure. Our window cleaning services follow the same method on a first visit as on regular cleanings, with the same washing services and the same care for the glass.

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, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. The calendar is the same for residential and commercial exteriors. Across Virginia the spring visit runs mid to late May, and for Highland Springs the fall visit falls in November to early December.
On the spring visit we find pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters. In the fall visit we find the leaf load that has come down since the last clean, and across Virginia hurricanes and tropical remnants can push the dates a little either way. Those are the two times a year the glass and the gutter runs take the most build-up. Clogged gutters cause the most damage when they back up, because water that spills over the edge runs down the fascia, and that is how water damage starts.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a grit film that water alone does not lift may need cleaning solutions on the frame, which the crew asks about before using them. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more dust on the frames. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass take longer on the ladder and get their own time estimate. Our crew does not clean the windows inside, so any haze on the inner pane is a separate conversation. If your house has one of these, we will tell you on the first visit.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspouts.
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 crew cleans gutters and exterior windows across Highland Springs, and booking runs the same way across the city. You start with a quote by phone or text, sending us the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will schedule service from there. We call before we come, so you are never surprised by a truck in the driveway.
The busy windows are the spring and fall leaf months, when our calendar fills faster than the rest of the year. If you want a date in those months, book early. Our cleaning services cover the whole house, so the same crew takes the gutters and every window in one visit, from the first floor to the top floor. Professional window cleaning also helps keep curb appeal up between seasons.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of each gutter run and the finished glass before the truck leaves. That keeps the process simple for busy households and for owners who want to see the work before they pay.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts first, then the glass, so the dirty water never reaches the clean windows.
We price residential properties by stories and window count, and we give the figure by phone or text. If it is a condo, tell us on the call so we can quote the unit correctly.
In Highland Springs the outside of a residential window carries tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spotting between visits. Cleaning the inside alone does not remove dirt from that outer film, which is what you see when the sun is low.
Across Virginia the spring visit runs mid to late May, and for Highland Springs the fall visit falls in November to early December. Our customers here book in those windows, and we can schedule around them.
No, as long as the gutters are done first and the glass last. If the glass was washed first, the runoff from the gutters runs down the wall and someone has to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included in the visit as well.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, since sprinkler water is what leaves spots on the glass, and move cars off the driveway if windows face it.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
