The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price the bundle 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 Roanoke jobs, most customers book this in spring and fall, which is when the pollen and leaf loads reach the glass and the gutters at the same time. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal from the street. For professional window cleaning in Roanoke, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories.
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, the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Booking window cleaners and a gutter crew separately means paying for two trips, while the bundle pays for one. Window washing on the glass is priced inside that bundle number, not added after.
Clogged gutters that sit through a wet season can run water back toward the fascia, and that is where water damage starts. On a house with a few window panes and standard gutters, the number usually comes in close to the starting price; a house with oversized panes or heavy build-up moves up from there. To get the exact figure, text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate before the crew is booked.
One Roanoke job last spring is a fair example. The customer had a two-story house with a row of picture windows on the back, and the gutters had not been opened in several years. The window count and the packed runs moved the quote up from the starting point, and the crew cleared the runs before touching the glass, which is the order we keep on every job. Nothing was added at the door.

|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |

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 Roanoke jobs most customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Virginia, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late May, and the fall visit runs from November to early December. At the spring visit the pollen film sits on every window that faces the sun and the pollen paste packs the gutters. At the fall visit it is the wet leaf mat that needs clearing before winter. A residential window on a south wall picks up the most pollen. Storm and wind seasons, hurricanes and tropical remnants across Virginia, can move those dates by a few weeks in either direction, and we schedule service around them rather than against them.
Some houses need a third visit, and we tell you which ones on the first call. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction all leave more grime between cleanings. Sprinkler spotting is the one that surprises people: the spots return a day after cleaning because they are mineral deposits, not dirt. Cleaning solutions do not lift those, so a mineral treatment is quoted separately. We see that most on residential properties with a sprinkler line aimed at the glass. Regular cleanings twice a year keep the grime from setting on the rest of the glass.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Clean windows show the first haze, so that is the sign to book. Gutters tell you when they need it too: water sheeting over the edge in rain. If you see either, call us to schedule service before the damage shows up, not after.
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 has worked across Roanoke, and the most common jobs are on homes where the gutters carry grime from nearby trees and the glass picks up dust from the road. Booking runs by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we return an estimate with the slot we can offer. Lead time is set by the calendar, not by a promise we cannot keep, and the two busy windows of the year fill first, so booking early in spring or fall keeps your date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. This visit is exterior only, so windows inside are not part of it, and we do not bundle interior and exterior glass into one price.
Washing services for a whole building are scheduled differently from a single house, with each building quoted on its own. Our window cleaning services cover exterior glass only on this visit, and the gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same pass. Quotes for residential and commercial buildings start from the stories and window count, and multi-story buildings are priced by floor. Grime and runoff from the roof are what we see most, and the crew will remove dirt from the gutters before anything else. Condos with shared gutters are quoted per building, not per unit.
Yes, it is the same two people on the same visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the runs never lands on clean panes.
We do not quote a figure here because it depends on stories and size. Text us the number of stories and a photo, and we will give you the number by phone or text before the crew is booked.
On our Roanoke jobs the outside carries most of the load: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the glass where the weather hits it, and that is the part that wears the glass over a season.
Most of our Roanoke customers book in spring and fall, because that is when the pollen and leaf loads are heaviest.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared above a window, the grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the exterior side; we do not bill them as extras.
No, this visit is exterior only. We do not clean the interior glass or do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off 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.
