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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Poquoson jobs, most customers book in the spring and in the fall, so the schedule stays predictable from one year to the next.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs, the number of windows and any oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleared in years, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers all shape the quote. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and the cleaning solutions on the glass are included too. The gutters and downspouts are cleared before any glass is touched. We quote exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is a separate job, and the same stories-and-window-count method covers residential and commercial buildings.
One Poquoson example from our crew: a house with a steep back roof and a row of picture windows facing the water. The gutters were packed with needles and seeds, and the glass carried a film of pollen from the spring. We cleared the runs, flushed each downspout until it ran clear, then did the window and gutter cleaning in the same visit so nothing dripped onto clean glass. Its quote came from the stories, the window count and the state of the gutters, which is how we set every number.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house or call (866) 435-6328, and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows face the street. From a photo we can usually see whether the gutters need a full clearing or a light pass, and whether any panes need the extra time that picture windows and tall glass take. Gutters and glass are cleaned together for the same reason every time, and the figure you hear on the phone is the figure on your invoice.
| 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.
On our Poquoson jobs, most customers book cleanings twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Pollen is the spring job: by late spring we find a film on south-facing glass and paste in the downspout elbows. In the fall the leaf load builds up in the gutters and the runoff from the roof carries grit down the wall. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we book against the weather as well as the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grit, and that shows up sooner. Taller jobs such as multi-story buildings take more time on a lift, so the quote and the visit both account for stories. Keeping up with regular cleanings keeps the load light, and the wettest months, July, August and September, are when a clogged run shows up fastest. One Poquoson customer with no trees stays on once a year, while another under heavy shade is on three or four visits. After the first look we tell you which pattern your lot follows.
Windows tell you they need cleaning when a haze shows only in low sun. Gutters tell you when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running into the downspout. A run of clogged gutters is the clearest sign of all. These are easy to notice, and any one of them is a good reason to call. Clean glass helps curb appeal too. Our crew provides window cleaning services using professional window cleaning methods, and we keep the schedule tied to what we see on the glass and in the gutters.
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 the city and take residential window and gutter cleaning jobs throughout the year. To book, send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front by text or call (866) 435-6328, and we will confirm a slot. Our calendar is busiest in the two windows when spring and fall debris peak, so booking early in those months helps us schedule service without a long wait. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Every window on the outside gets the same treatment, from the ground floor to the upper story reached with a boom or scissor lift, and each sill gets wiped down before the crew leaves. Frames get wiped first to remove dirt, so it does not run down the glass we have just cleaned. Ask us for a written estimate if you want the scope on paper first. The scope stays the same from one visit to the next, so once we have a reading on your house, the next visit is simple to plan.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both, in one visit. We clear the gutters first and clean the glass last, so nothing dripping off the roof lands on clean windows.
We do not quote from a range. The number comes from the stories, the approximate window count and the state of the gutters, and you get it by phone or text. Owners of condos should also say whether the gutters belong to their unit or the association before booking.
Often yes. The outside of the glass here picks up grime from rain and wind, plus sprinkler spots, and those show through even when the inside is clean.
Across Virginia, spring visits usually land in mid to late May and fall visits in late November to December. Freeze risk is real in winter, and a clogged gutter that holds water can cause water damage at the fascia, so the fall visit matters most for that.
No, because we work gutters first and glass last. The runoff from the roof has to pass before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our washing services, and tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
Not on this visit. The windows inside stay as they are, since we clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside 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.
