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 the job by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Virginia, most of our customers book this bundle for the spring and fall visits. Call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the number on the phone.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and it comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking window washing services and gutter work together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the bundle saving is shown on your quote. Nothing extra appears on the invoice once the crew has started.
Four things move the quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof steep enough that the crew cannot walk it adds time. Window count and oversized picture windows change the ladder and pole work. Gutters that have gone years without cleanings, packed with needles, leaves and grime, take longer to clear. Regular cleanings keep that load down. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another line, because no cleaning removes it. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are two separate quotes, and this one covers the exterior only.
On our jobs across Virginia, the fastest way to get an exact figure is a text with the number of stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house. Our window cleaning services are quoted from that photo and the stories count, so the number is set before the crew arrives. We can usually tell from that photo whether a visit needs a boom or scissor lift or can be done from ground and ladder. Ask for a written estimate before you book if you want the number in writing.

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 Loudoun Valley Estates book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, one visit in the spring and one in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Across Virginia the spring visit falls in mid to late May and the fall visit in late October to November, and the timing follows the pollen and leaf drop. That holds for residential and commercial buildings alike, though this page covers homes.
In the spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. Where the film sits on the frames, the crew adds cleaning solutions after the water pass to remove dirt the water alone leaves behind. In the fall the leaf load is the main problem, a wet mat that builds up through the winter and can make water back up behind the fascia. Storm and wind seasons, including the hurricane and tropical remnant months across Virginia, can shift the dates a little, so we call before we come.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects dust faster than average. Clogged gutters are the usual sign a visit is due, and water damage on the wall under a run is the sign it is overdue. When a run is clogged, runoff spills over the edge and streaks the glass underneath. Watch for haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low, and for water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain; either one means it is time. The same ladder limits apply to multi-story buildings, so we plan lift access when you book.
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 residential properties across Loudoun Valley Estates, and we work the neighborhoods of the city as a whole. Each residential window on the house gets the same pass, whatever the floor. Our cleaning services start with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: give us the number of stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm the time window. To schedule service, tell us the week you want, and we give you the next open slot. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come.
The calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the late spring and the late fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Our crew is on site for the whole visit, and every window in the job is checked before the ladders come down. We clean the sill under each window, and windows inside the house are a separate job, not part of this visit.
Our window cleaners work from a water-fed pole for most of the glass, and the professional window cleaning method is the same whether the house is one story or three. Curb appeal is a practical result here: clean gutters that carry water away from the wall and clean glass that shows the house as it is. If the calendar does not fit your timing, we will tell you that when you call, so you can plan around it.
Yes. Our crew does both jobs in one visit, and the gutters are done first and the glass last. Our window and gutter cleaning runs on one setup, so there is one visit to book.
The number comes from the number of stories and the residential window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. Quotes for condos and multi-story buildings work the same way, so tell us the building type when you call. We do not quote a figure without that information.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, runoff from the roof and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Our visit covers the outside only, and windows inside are a separate job.
Across Virginia, the spring visit falls in mid to late May and the fall visit in late October to November. Most of our customers here book both.
No. We clear gutters and downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. That order is the reason we do both jobs in one visit.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped, and that is how we remove dirt from the frame before the glass. Tracks are not part of the exterior visit, so ask us when you book if you want them looked at.
Interior and exterior glass are two separate quotes, and this visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside the house 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, 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.
