Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the roof lands on clean windows. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Call (866) 435-6328 and the spring or fall date is usually set on that same call.
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 the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. Quotes for residential and commercial jobs come from the same inputs, and a single cleaning or one of your regular cleanings starts from the same numbers. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and the saving on the combined visit is shown in your estimate rather than promised as a percentage. Quotes come from the same three inputs every time: how many stories the house has, roughly how many windows face the street and yard, and what the gutters look like when we open them. Cleaning solutions are part of the visit, not an add-on, and our washing services finish the glass with purified water. This quote covers the outside only, so interior and exterior glass are never mixed into one price.
Several things move the quote on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk puts the back run out of easy reach. Oversized picture windows and panes set high on the wall take more time per pane. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need the full roof blow-off and a second pass on the downspouts. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate condition: no cleaning removes it, and we tell you so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a recent Mount Vernon job, the house had two stories, a long run of gutters under heavy tree cover and a row of picture windows across the back. The gutters took most of the morning because the downspout elbows were packed with pollen paste and seeds, and the glass went quickly once the wall was dry. What set the quote was the window count and the downspout work, not the roofline. For your own number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and about how many windows you have, and we will give you a price before the crew is scheduled.
| 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 Mount Vernon customers book both gutter and window cleaning twice a year, one visit in the spring and one in the fall, which is why one crew on one visit makes sense for the calendar. In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and a paste of pollen and seed in the gutters. In fall the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs until the first hard weather. Storm and wind seasons can shift both dates, and we move the visit with the weather rather than on a fixed day. Clean glass also helps curb appeal from the street, and it shows most in the spring.
Some houses need a third visit, and a few owners add cleaning services between the two seasons. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters from that debris hold water at the roof edge. Water that backs up in a clogged run spills as runoff onto the siding and can lead to water damage at the fascia, so that run is checked every visit. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a check every visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than a quiet street, and the frames show it first. On a professional window cleaning schedule the frames and sills are part of the visit, so on regular cleanings the dust that builds up there is handled each time rather than left to build.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low in the sky. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign means the last visit is past its useful life, and it is worth a call before the next storm.
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 cleaning services cover residential window jobs across Mount Vernon, on houses from single-story ranches to three-story homes, multi-story buildings and condos with shared gutter runs, and we take residential properties and light commercial buildings on the same route. Booking window and gutter cleaning starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a price before a slot is set. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the same photo. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm the date when we quote. In the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, the calendar fills first, so an early call gets the day you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our window cleaners do not come inside and call before we come, so you know the arrival window the day before. If a pane is out of reach or a gutter run is blocked by a limb, the crew photographs it and tells you before moving on, so you can decide what to do about it. Every window on the outside of the house is part of the quote, gutters and downspouts are flushed on the same visit, and every window we clean gets the sill and frame wiped as part of the visit.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. Our washing services follow one order: we do the gutters first and the glass last, so the leaves and grit that come off the roof are gone before the windows get their final pass.
The number depends on stories and size, not on a fixed rate, so we give it by phone or text once we have the window count and a photo of the front of the house.
On Mount Vernon houses the outside carries grime, the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dull from the street even when the inside is clear, and rain alone will not remove dirt from the frames.
Most of our customers here book spring and fall, after the pollen drop and again after the leaves come down, and we confirm the exact weeks when you call.
No, because gutters come first and glass last. When the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters rewets it, so we never reverse that order.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included on the same visit when they are reachable from outside.
This visit is exterior only, so we do not clean windows inside the house and we do not do pressure washing; if you want either, ask us when you call.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while 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.
