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 falls back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Most of our Kingstowne customers book this in the spring and in the fall, when the grit and the leaves are at their worst.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a single visit for both jobs costs less than booking them separately. Window washing on its own is quoted the same way, and a professional window cleaning visit follows the same count. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the things that change the quote are stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. The price covers the outside of the glass only, and windows inside are not part of the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Clogged gutters that have sat for a season hold more grit, and that adds work before any water runs through them. Multi-story buildings and tall homes take the boom or scissor lift, which is set up on the driveway before we start.
Our experience here is limited to what we see on houses across Virginia, so we will not claim a neighborhood or a house type we have not measured. What we can tell you is how to get the exact number. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows there are, and we will return a quote before the crew is scheduled. Water damage from a gutter that has overflowed for a season shows up as staining on the siding below it, and we note that in the photos so you can decide what to do next. Clean gutters and clean windows both help the curb appeal of a home, and the cost is usually lower than people expect once the bundle is counted.
| 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 customers in Kingstowne book both gutters and windows twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew makes sense for the calendar. Our cleaning services run in the same order every time: gutters first, glass last. Many residential window jobs are booked alongside the gutters, and the bundle saves a second trip. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and packs into the gutter elbows as a paste. Fall is when the leaf load arrives and the wet mat sits in the runs until the first hard weather. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we call ahead before we set a slot.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Residential properties near a busy road or a construction site pick up dust faster than a quiet street does. On those houses we plan a third visit, and we tell you that after the first one, not before.
Windows need a visit when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either, text us a photo and we will tell you which of the two it is and whether a cleaning will fix it. Our crew wipes every sill and cleans every window frame as part of the visit, so that dust does not return to the glass in the next 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.
Our crew works across the Kingstowne area, and we can tell you which streets we have already done when you call. Our washing services and our window cleaning services are booked the same way: a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give you a two-hour arrival window, and we call before we come, so nobody has to guess when the truck will pull in. Lead time depends on the season, and when the calendar fills during the spring and fall peaks we will give you the next open date rather than promise one that is not there.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew comes to the outside of the house, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and every pane before the truck leaves. For the buildings we service, we bring the same approach to condos and small multi-unit properties, where the shared gutters and downspouts run past several owners' windows at once. Grime from traffic and runoff from a neighbor's roof can land on the same wall, and we work out the source before we try to remove dirt from it. We will also tell you if a repair is needed somewhere else, though we do not do that work ourselves.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing both at once means we do not have to set up twice on the same house.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure on the web, because a two-story house with picture windows and a house with small panes are not the same job.
Usually yes, because the outside takes the rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Interior and exterior cleanings pick up dirt in different ways, and our visit covers only the outside. In Kingstowne the spring pollen settles on south-facing glass first, and a clean inside pane still looks hazy from the street if the outside is dirty.
Most of our customers book regular cleanings in the spring and in the fall, when the leaves and the grit are at their worst. We can tell you the exact weeks when you call, and we will schedule service as the calendar allows.
No, because we clean the gutters first and rinse the wall before we touch the glass. Running the job the other way round is how dirty water ends up on a fresh pane, so the order is part of the service. The same runoff reaches the glass on residential and commercial buildings, so the order stays the same.
Screens are taken down, rinsed by hand and put back, and sills are wiped on every visit. Tracks are cleaned as part of the window work, and none of it is billed as an extra line. Our glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to streak.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only and we do not do pressure washing, so the inside stays as you left it.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
