Yes, the same two window cleaners clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price the job 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 the residential window jobs we take are booked in spring and fall, when leaves and grit are heaviest.
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 the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we do not change it on the day. The same stories and window count give the same figure on regular cleanings, so a repeat visit is quoted the same way.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones every time. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. A high number of windows, or oversized picture windows, adds time on the glass, and so does a heavy pollen film. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more hands to empty. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one that no cleaning removes, and we will tell you when we see it. The glass is done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left on the pane to rinse off. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and the washing services we quote include all three.
We cannot give you an exact number without knowing the house, so the fastest way to a firm quote is to send a photo of the front of the house by text along with the stories and an estimate of the window count. Companies that charge by length of gutter often land in a similar place once you count the labor, but a per-building view is what matters for your roof. Quotes here are for residential properties, and a residential and commercial job is priced on its own. Our crew will confirm the figure before anyone climbs a ladder, and that is the figure you pay. Interior glass is not part of this visit, so the quote covers exterior glass only. Interior and exterior work is a different booking, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
| 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 gutters and windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why professional window cleaning and gutter work make sense on one crew in one visit, and why our cleaning services are scheduled that way. The spring visit falls in mid to late May across Virginia, after the seed and pollen drop. In Lansdowne the fall visit falls in late October to November, after the last leaves come down and before the first hard freeze.
At the spring visit the film on south-facing glass is the first thing we see, and the sticky seed paste is packed into the gutters and the downspout elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that blocks the runs. Storm and wind seasons, including the hurricane and tropical remnant months across the state, can move the dates, and we will call you before we come.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings in particular do too. These are usually homes with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit leave clogged gutters between visits, and homes where a sprinkler line hits the glass, which leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Standing water in clogged gutters can lead to water damage, so we flag it on the visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site also picks up more grime, and we will suggest a mid-season visit if the glass says so. Most homes with few or no trees do well with the twice-a-year schedule.
You will know the outside glass needs attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Either way, the crew can tell you what it is on the first visit. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, and clean outside glass does a lot for curb appeal.
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 the homes of Lansdowne as a whole, and we serve residential properties, condos included, in every part of the city where a crew can reach the roofline and the glass safely. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm estimate for the window and gutter cleaning on that same message. Our crew will schedule service once you confirm, and we call before we come, so nobody arrives unannounced.
The busy stretch is the spring and fall visits, when leaves are heaviest and our calendar fills quickly. A residential window job in those months fills fast, so if you want a set date, book early. Each visit covers every window on the outside of the house, so one slot does the whole job. Outside those months there is usually more room, and we can often fit a visit in the week you ask for, so long as the schedule allows. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We ask for a side gate and access to the outdoor faucet, and the crew handles the rest, which leaves you with clean windows and no ladders in the yard.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter work are done by the same two people in one visit, starting with the gutters and ending with the glass.
We do not quote a range here, because the number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text with the stories and a photo, and we send the figure back.
On our Lansdowne jobs, the outside carries the seed, the rain dust, the runoff from the roof and the sprinkler spots, and that is the grime sitting between you and the view. Cleaning the outside is the way to remove dirt that the inside never touches.
Late October to November is the right window for the fall visit in Lansdowne, after the leaves are down and before the first hard freeze. Across Virginia, the spring visit falls in mid to late May.
No. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, because the leaves, the grit and the black water under them run down the wall and onto any window below. If the glass were done first, it would need washing again.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior window job. Tracks are included when they are outside the glass.
Our window and gutter work covers the glass and gutters only, so interior glass and pressure washing are not part of this visit. If you want those, we can book them separately.
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.
