Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs down 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 homeowners book us in the spring and fall, when pollen and falling leaves hit hardest.
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 by stories and approximate window count, and window washing done in the same visit as the gutters costs less than two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Booking window cleaners and a separate gutter crew means two setups and two trips, and that second trip is the cost we remove.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs, the window count and any oversized panes, multi-story buildings that need a lift, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside the house are not part of this quote.
Getting an exact number is simple: tell us the stories and the window count, or text a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328. For a professional window cleaning quote, the front photo helps us spot wall height and any spots we need to plan for. Lots of our Montclair work is on homes where curb appeal matters, and a clean roofline with clean glass shows it. Clogged gutters are the first thing we check, because they are the usual route for water damage to reach the siding and fascia when the rain comes in heavy.
Cities differ, so the number is set by what we see on the house, not by a formula. Ask for a written estimate before the crew is booked, and we will confirm the stories, the window count and the scope in writing.
| 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 Montclair customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Most of those jobs are residential properties, and the residential window work follows the same calendar as the gutters, so the cleaning services happen in one visit.
Across Virginia, the spring visit falls in mid to late May, when the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters, so the cleaning is heavier than the number of visits suggests. The fall visit runs November to early December, when the leaf load comes down all at once and the wet mat in the runs is what we clear first. Across Virginia, hurricanes and tropical remnants can shift the dates by a few weeks, and we move the visit to suit.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that on heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit keep the downspouts moving toward a clog between visits. We also see it where a sprinkler line hits the glass, which leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and on houses close to a busy road or active construction.
The sign the windows need it is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign the gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. If either shows up between visits, text us a photo and we will tell you which it is. Once you have a schedule service plan, we keep the same crew on every window and every run so the work stays consistent from one visit to the next. Regular cleanings on that plan are how the glass stays clean between seasons, and every visit ends with clean windows and clear runs.
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 crews work the whole of Montclair and offer window cleaning services and washing services for homes and businesses. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm the estimate and the date before the truck rolls.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, and our calendar fills there first. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early at (866) 435-6328. Outside those windows, lead time is shorter, and we call before we come so nobody is surprised by a truck in the driveway.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew stays outside, works from the ground or a boom or scissor lift where a house needs one, and sends photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before they leave.
We do residential and commercial exterior work, including condos and multi-unit buildings, where gutters and downspouts carry runoff from the roof down to the grade. Whatever the building, the crew sets out to remove dirt and grime from the glass and the gutters so the water drains where it should.
We do both, and it is the same crew on the same visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Tell us by phone or text and we give you the number before we book. Mineral spots that need cleaning solutions are quoted after the crew sees them.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that never reach the inside. Cleaning the outside alone is a real job, and interior and exterior glass are different jobs, so this visit covers the outside only.
Most of our Montclair customers book regular cleanings in two windows. Across Virginia, the spring visit runs mid to late May, and the fall visit runs November to early December.
No, because the gutters are done first and the glass is done last. Once the runs are clear and the downspouts are flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping. The picture windows on the front of the house are cleaned last of all.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. We do not bill them as add-ons on this visit.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing on it.
No, 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, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
