Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew handles this work for homeowners across Virginia every spring and fall, so the order of work and the timing are settled before we arrive.
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 the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. A window and gutter bundle is quoted as one number, and spring pollen on the glass adds a little time to the visit. Stories and roof pitch are the biggest factors, followed by how many windows you have and whether any are oversized panes. Gutters that have gone years without cleaning, or are packed with seed pods and leaf litter from nearby trees, take longer than a light run, and gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning will not remove, and we tell you about it before we start.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The crew flushes every downspout until the water runs clear, rinses the screens we take down, and wipes the sills as it goes.
For most homes, the number is settled by a short phone or text exchange: how many stories, roughly how many windows, and a photo of the front of the house. Send that and we give you the exact figure before anyone climbs a ladder. Many of our customers also ask for the picture windows and the upper-story glass to be checked on the same visit, since those are where the haze shows first. Our crew can also talk through the cleaning solutions we use on exterior glass, which are chosen to suit the frame and the glass rather than a one-size product. We handle residential and commercial exteriors, but commercial buildings follow their own per-building arrangement, and residential homes here are priced as described above. Many homeowners book regular cleanings on a set calendar, and each of those cleanings is quoted from the same stories and window count. Some homeowners ask for interior and exterior glass together; the quote covers the exterior only, so the number on the phone already reflects that. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house, and we will book a date for the visit.

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 homeowners book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. When people compare cleaning services, that calendar is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs. Across Virginia, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late May, and in Radford the fall visit usually lands in late October to November. In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall the work is the wet leaf mat, and the windows show the summer's rain dust. Many homeowners book professional window cleaning for the spring visit, because a clean exterior is the easiest curb appeal upgrade before summer, and window cleaners are busiest in those weeks. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so the calendar is a guide rather than a fixed schedule.
Homes under heavy tree cover, with large trees over the roof, need the gutters checked more often, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after cleaning; those need a separate mineral treatment, and we say so on the first visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime on the lower panes, and it benefits from a third visit in the middle of the year. Multi-story buildings and three-story homes need a longer setup, so the visit takes more time.
Gutters that carry water over the edge during a rain are telling you something, and so are windows that show a haze only when the sun is low. Those are the signs to book the next visit sooner than the calendar says. Clogged gutters that overflow in a storm can also lead to water damage at the fascia, so do not wait for the calendar. Dirt on the windows inside is a separate matter, since this visit covers the outside glass. Call (866) 435-6328 and tell us what you see from the ground.
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 crew does window and gutter cleaning across Radford and the homes around it, from older houses with long gutter runs to newer properties with large glass. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time varies with the season, and we give you the date when we book the estimate. In the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, the calendar fills first, so the sooner you send the details, the sooner we can set a day.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and calls before we arrive. If a sprinkler or a parked car is in the way, we ask you to move it before the ladders go up.
Our crew handles residential properties, rental homes and smaller houses with the same process, and every window on the house gets the same attention from the top story down. Each residential window on the house gets that same attention, and the goal is clean windows with no streaks, not a quick rinse. We call before we come, and we text a photo of each run once it is done. Ask about the sill cleaning and the screen rinsing when you book, so the estimate matches what you want done. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to schedule service.
Yes. The same two-person crew does both, gutters first and then the glass, in one visit. That is the reason we book them together rather than sending two companies. Our washing services for gutters and glass are booked as a single visit.
We do not give a figure on this page. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before the visit.
Usually the outside is where the grime collects first. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots sit on the exterior glass, so the outside is what most people notice first, and cleaning it is the job we do.
Most of our Radford customers book in spring and fall, which is when the pollen drop and the leaf fall come through. Many of them pick a professional window cleaning visit in spring and a second one in late October to November. We can tell you the exact timing for your house on the estimate call.
No, because we do gutters and downspouts first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, and the runoff from it would land on clean glass, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are taken down, rinsed to remove dirt, and put back, and sills are wiped as part of the visit. The tracks are included in the same pass, and nothing is billed as a separate extra.
No. On this visit we clean the outside of the windows only; we do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing of siding and decks. Condos and townhouses with their own exterior glass get the same outside-only visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
