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 doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Virginia, spring and fall are when most homes book this, and our crew works the same way on every house we clean.
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 price follows the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle of gutters and exterior glass in one visit comes in under two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice for any of our cleaning services on the house.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized panes and sidelights, gutters that have not been opened in years, needles and leaves packed in the runs, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Virginia the fastest way to get the exact figure 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 on a house with heavy tree cover, or with clogged gutters from a long gap, can run longer than the same house cleaned on a regular schedule, and the photo lets us say so before we book. Our crews do not carry window washing equipment that needs a separate line item; the windows inside the house are not part of this visit, and the curb appeal you get from clean glass is the reason most customers call. Multi-story buildings and homes with water damage from a blocked run need a look before the number is set, and we say so in the quote.
| 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 residential window customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. At each visit we find what the season left behind: pollen film on south-facing glass and paste in the gutters during the spring drop, and the wet leaf load in the fall. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, and the crew adjusts the booking when a run has been hit.
Some houses need a third visit beyond the regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packed between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the cleaning can keep up. For these, our schedule service plans the extra visit before the runs back up and water damage starts on the fascia.
Sign that clean windows are overdue: a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Sign that the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in 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, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. In the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen and leaf months fill the calendar, the lead time is longer, so it is worth asking early.
Our crew covers the gutters and downspouts and the exterior windows on the same visit, so the window cleaning services and the washing services both happen on site, with the grime and runoff checked at each run. The job is to remove dirt and debris before it reaches the glass and the sill, not to leave it for the next rain. Residential properties, houses and condos alike, get the same bundled visit, one crew per house.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get on the schedule.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last so the debris from the runs does not land on clean glass.
We do not quote from a general figure. The method is the same for residential and commercial buildings: every window on the outside is counted against the stories, and you can get the number by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with a photo of the house front.
For most houses here the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Clean outside glass also lets the light through the picture windows properly.
Across Virginia most homes book in spring and fall. Our Lowes Island calendar fills in the pollen and leaf months, so asking early helps.
Not if the gutters are done first. When the runs are cleared and flushed before the glass is touched, the grit has already left the wall by the time the windows are washed.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and the frames are done as part of the exterior visit, using purified water rather than cleaning solutions. They are not billed as separate extras.
We do not clean the windows inside on this visit, so the interior and exterior glass are not the same job here. It covers the exterior glass only, and pressure washing is not part of this job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers 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.
