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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Virginia, most of our customers book the gutters and glass together in spring and fall, and we have the outside of the house done before the afternoon sun shows any haze.
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.
Price follows stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking window washing services and gutter cleaning services as two trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and we quote it from those two facts alone. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the figure in writing.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on a ladder or lift. Oversized picture windows and tall multi-story buildings cost more glass to reach, and every residential window we count goes on the quote. Condos with shared access add planning time before the first ladder goes up. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years are packed with needles and leaves, and the runoff backs up over the edge in the next rain. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we will tell you about it before we start. Grime that has built up on the frames is part of the job, and the crew can remove dirt from those as well. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are included and not billed as extras.
Here is how the experience works in Virginia: we take the number of stories, the window count and a photo of the house front, and that is enough to quote a job on residential properties. The same method covers residential and commercial buildings. Most of our repeat work comes from the same house twice a year, and the first visit tells us which lot needs what. Ask for the written estimate before you book a date so you can compare it with the gutters and glass on your own list.
| 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 across Virginia book a window and gutter visit twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. What we find in spring is the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the gutter and rots at the joints. The crew matches the cleaning solutions to what is there: pollen in spring, wet leaf residue in fall. Some seasons bring storms or wind that move the dates, and we adjust the calendar when that happens.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof fills the gutters faster than the seasons alone would, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house on a busy road or next to construction also collects grit between visits. We will tell you at the first visit which of those applies to your house, and then we set the schedule with you.
Two signs tell you it is time without a calendar. Windows show a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the gutters let water sheet over the edge during rain. Both mean the job is due. For regular cleanings the easiest rule is to book the next visit before the current one ends.
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 window cleaners and window cleaning services work across Lorton and the surrounding area, and to schedule service you call (866) 435-6328 or text us. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm a slot with you. Lead time depends on the calendar at the moment you ask, so we tell you the first open date when you call rather than promising one. The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when our calendar fills with cleanings, so book early if you want a particular week.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew stays outside and does not come into the house, so the windows inside stay untouched, and you can leave the side gate open and go about your day. We work on multi-story buildings and single-story homes alike, with a boom or scissor lift where the height calls for one. Professional window cleaning on a tall house takes the right equipment, and that is part of the quote. Water damage from clogged gutters costs far more to repair than the cleaning costs, which is why we treat a blocked run as a priority rather than an add-on. Clean windows and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean windows.
Our window cleaning services are priced from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we give the figure by phone or text before any work starts. A residential window on a two-story house is quoted on that same basis.
Usually the outside is where the damage lands. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on every window from the outside, and they are the reason glass looks hazy in low sun while the inside is clean.
Most of our Virginia customers book in spring and fall. To schedule service, call us and we confirm the exact week by phone, going by what we see on the house itself.
No. Clearing the gutters and downspouts comes first, so the leaves, grit and runoff are flushed out before anyone touches the glass, and that order keeps every window clean.
Screens are rinsed, and each sill is wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
No. Cleaning the interior and exterior glass counts as two separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only. We do not do pressure washing on it.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if 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.
