The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the dirty water never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Richmond jobs, most customers book in the spring and fall, when the leaves and the spring grime arrive. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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.
Your quote comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle for both jobs in one visit runs below what two separate bookings would cost. Tell us if the building is a residential and commercial mix when you send the photo, and the quote will account for it. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
Here is what moves the quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it changes the setup. Oversized panes and picture windows take more time per pane than standard sash. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul, and a run that overflows for a season can damage the fascia. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a cleaning, so we flag it on the visit and quote the treatment separately. The glass gets purified water, not cleaning solutions. Clearing the gutters and downspouts is part of the price, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are not billed as extras.
The fastest way to get the exact number is a text with the number of stories, your approximate window count, and a photo of the front of the house. Our crew reviews it and calls you back with a firm figure. For a bundle quote on a window and gutter cleaning, a regular cleanings plan lets the crew keep the same setup from one visit to the next, which keeps the cost steady over the year.

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 Richmond customers book professional window cleaning and gutter work 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. In the spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are the main work. In the fall, the leaf load fills the runs and the wet mat sits in the downspout elbows through the wet months.
Storms and wind seasons can move these dates. We schedule our cleaning services around the weather on the day, and we call before we come. Heavy tree cover over the roof brings us back on a three or four month schedule, because needles and grit pack the downspouts and leave clogged gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that return a day after cleaning, and grime builds faster on multi-story buildings near a busy road or construction than on a quiet street. Those are the cases where a third visit makes sense.
When the windows need it, haze shows up only when the sun is low, and that haze takes the curb appeal off the front of the house. When the gutters need it, water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout, and that is how water damage starts on the wall below. Our crew checks both on every visit and tells you what it finds with photos.
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 and gutter work cover residential properties across Richmond, and we know the Richmond neighborhoods where we have cleaned for years. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm a time. Call (866) 435-6328 to book. Lead time depends on the season, and the busiest weeks are the two windows when the leaves come down and the gutters fill, so book early for those.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we arrive. Once the appointment is set, you can schedule service online or by phone, and the crew handles clean windows on the outside of every window in the job, down to the sill. The windows inside are not part of this visit. Work on the interior and exterior of the same window is not part of this booking. For a residential window, a single visit covers the glass, the frames, and the gutters together, so the work is done in one trip rather than two.
Yes. Our washing services clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and the gutters are done first so the runoff never reaches clean glass.
We give the number on the phone or by text, based on the stories and the size of the house, and a condo gets the same quote from its stories and window count. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the front, and we will quote the job.
On our Richmond jobs, the outside carries the rain dust, the grime and the sprinkler spots, so it often looks dirtier than the inside. Cleaning the outside makes the glass clear from both sides.
Most of our customers book once in the spring and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Those are the busiest windows of the year.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last, and the crew rinses the frame to remove dirt before the pane is touched. When the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters lands on it and someone has to wash it again.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the window cleaning. We rinse the screens, wipe the sills and clean the tracks as part of the same visit, with no separate charge.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, 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.
