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 the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Virginia, most of our customers book the two in spring and again in fall, and we keep the same order of work on every house.
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.
Residential window washing in Hollins is priced by stories and approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs the quote moves for a handful of reasons. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Picture windows and other oversized panes add to the glass time, and so does a high window count. Among the common add-ons, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear, especially when they have not been opened in years. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes, so we flag it before we start. Cleaning the windows inside the house is not part of this visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Virginia the easiest way to get your exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and a rough window count. Professional window cleaning and gutter work are one quote from one crew, and we will reply with the price and what it covers.
| 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 cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. To schedule service, text us the number of stories and a rough window count.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. The spring visit is about the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutters. The fall visit is about the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs once the trees have dropped. Storm and wind seasons can move either date by a few weeks, so we look at the house before we set the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit, and regular cleanings catch the problem early. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts grit and needles into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after the cleaning. A gutter that backs up in a storm can let water damage reach the siding and sills. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects dust on the sill faster than most. Our crew checks every window at the first visit and tells you what the house needs.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain.
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.
Booking starts with a quote by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we can tell you the price and the next open date. Lead time is listed on our booking page. In the two busy windows of the year, when the calendar fills first, it helps to book ahead of those months.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside without coming in. Our window cleaning services cover residential properties, condos and multi-story buildings, and we handle each residential and commercial job as its own visit. Our washing services run in the same visit as the gutter work, so you do not book a second crew.
We are the crew that does the work, and every visit includes the same steps: the roof is cleared, the gutters and downspouts are cleaned, and the glass is done last so runoff does not reach it. The glass is rinsed with purified water, so the job uses no cleaning solutions that could streak. We remove dirt and grime from the frames and sills as part of the job.
Yes. The same two people do both on your house in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the figure before anything is booked.
It is, because the outside takes the rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up between seasons, dull the view from inside too, and clean glass helps curb appeal from the street.
Our customers here usually book in late spring and again in late fall. Spring clears the haze and fall clears the leaves, and booking early in each season keeps the calendar open.
Not when the order is right. We clear the gutters, flush the downspouts and let the wall stop dripping before we touch the glass. That is the reason the glass is always done last.
Screens are rinsed and put back, sills are wiped, and the frames are cleaned as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the standard job. None of those is billed as an add-on.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, and interior and exterior work is never mixed on one quote. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
