Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that falls out of a gutter ends up on clean glass. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a combined visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. On our Newington jobs, most customers book us in spring and fall, which is when the pollen and leaves build up.
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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Steep roofs and a third story take longer to work safely, and so do multi-story buildings. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more hands and more water to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add to the job, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the phone we ask for the stories and a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text helps us see the roofline and the steep parts. We also look at how the gutters have held up over time, because a run that has been left for years takes more work than one we see every season. That is how we arrive at the number, and it is the same number on the invoice.
Our Newington jobs follow the same pattern. A customer with a two-story house and a moderate window count has a very different quote from one with a third story and a long run of picture windows, and we explain the difference before we start. Water damage is the reason we check the downspouts on every visit, since a blocked run is what overflows and soaks the fascia. Clogged gutters are the first thing we clear, because nothing else on the house stays dry until they run freely. If the numbers look unusual, call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through what drives them.

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.
On our Newington jobs most customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, a fall visit in November to early December, and across Virginia the spring visit runs mid to late May. That schedule is why one crew handling both cleaning services in one visit makes sense. Spring is when the pollen film settles on every window that faces south and packs into the gutter elbows as a paste. Fall is when the leaf load arrives and the wet mat sits in the runs over winter.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof drops needles and grit between cleanings, so those houses are on every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses also need us to schedule service more often. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass, so it gets cleaned more often too.
Plenty of houses are fine with regular cleanings twice a year. A lot with few trees and no sprinkler spotting usually stays clean on that schedule, and we will tell you after the first visit which of these your house needs. We keep residential properties on a schedule that fits them, not on a fixed calendar, and residential window work follows the same rhythm. Clean windows last longer and keep their curb appeal when they are cleaned on that rhythm, and we wipe the sill on every window while we are there.
Two signs tell you the windows need attention: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and a film that makes the glass look dull from the inside. Two signs tell you the gutters need attention: water sheeting over the edge in a rain, and a downspout that gurgles or backs up. When you see either, text a photo to us and we will say whether it is a cleaning or a slope problem.
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 and commercial properties across Newington, and our crew handles gutter and window work in the same visit. Our window cleaners are also the gutter crew, so there is one quote for both. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text: tell us the stories and send a photo of the house front, or call (866) 435-6328. From there we set a slot, and the typical lead time is shown on our booking page. In the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves arrive, our calendar fills, so booking early keeps your date.
Our washing services and window cleaning services follow the same process whether the house is a single family home or one of the condos in the area. The crew uses a water-fed pole, and our cleaning solutions are purified water and nothing else, which lets us remove dirt and leaves the glass dry without streaks. The work covers the outside frames and sills as well as the panes. We clear the gutters and downspouts with the same care, flushing each run so the runoff does not back up at the next rain.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and if the weather or a missed slot changes the plan, we call again. Our crew does not come inside, so you can keep your routine while we work outside. Whatever you need after the visit, the photos of each run and each pane arrive on your phone before we leave, so you can see what was done.
Yes. The same two people do both, gutters first and glass last, so the dirt from the gutters does not land on the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a range here because the same house can move a long way depending on what is in the gutters and on the glass.
Yes, because the outside takes most of what the seasons leave behind. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside, and the inside cannot clean those off. Our exterior cleaning covers the frames, sills and screens as well.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and fall, after the pollen and leaves have arrived. Booking early in those windows keeps your date.
Not when we do it. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, then give the wall a few minutes to drip, and only then clean the windows. That order keeps the runoff off the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the tracks are part of the window work. They are included in the job and are not billed separately.
We clean the outside of the windows only. We do not clean windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing here.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
