Yes, our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning are done by the same two people in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto 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 Rose Hill jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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 same rule holds for residential and commercial jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs take longer to reach safely. A high count of window panes, or oversized picture windows, adds time at the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before they run clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it. Gutters and downspouts are cleared on every visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras.
On our Rose Hill jobs, the quote usually comes down to a few facts we can get by phone: how many stories, roughly how many windows, and whether the gutters have been done recently. When a house has a sprinkler line along the front, the spotting on the glass is what usually moves the number, so we note it before the visit to avoid surprises at the invoice. For an exact figure, send us the stories, the window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text.
Spring dust and seed are part of the picture here, and they sit on glass and in gutters together. Cleaning solutions are chosen for the surface, so the crew does not use one blend for every house. We clean interior and exterior glass only when a customer books both, which is separate from this visit. Our Rose Hill cleanings are scheduled around the weather, and regular cleanings keep the bill smaller over time than letting the buildup go.

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 customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. On our Rose Hill jobs, most customers book in the late spring and again in the late fall.
In spring, what we find on the glass is a pollen film, and the gutters hold a sticky paste of seed and needles. In fall, the leaf load is heavy and wet. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between visits, and clogged gutters are the usual route to water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that return a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the outside glass.
Cleaning services like this are most useful when they fit the calendar of the building. A professional window cleaning visit that comes too late leaves the spring film on the glass for weeks. For the sign that windows need it, look for haze you only see when the sun is low. For gutters, the sign is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most people expect.
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 work across Rose Hill and book in order of when the estimate is confirmed. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text giving the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Once we have that, we can give you a date window and a quote.
In the two busy windows of the year, our calendar fills, so a spring or fall slot can take longer to open. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew handles window and gutter cleaning on every floor, and cleans every window on the outside of the house in the same visit. We clean windows on houses, condos and apartment buildings alike, and we schedule service around the weather. For residential properties we give the same visit order each time.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, and gutters are done first so the runoff does not hit clean glass. It is the same two people on the ladder.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate.
On Rose Hill houses, the outside carries rain dust, sprinkler spots and grime, and it builds up quickly. Our crew uses a water-fed pole to remove dirt from upper panes without a ladder. The inside can stay as it is, and the outside is still worth doing on its own schedule.
Most of our Rose Hill customers book in late spring and late fall. Those are the times leaves are heaviest, and booking then keeps the glass and gutters from running clogged or spotted.
No. We clean gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so the leaves, grit and black water do not run down onto windows we have just done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on exterior windows, and nothing is billed as an extra on the day.
This visit is exterior glass only. Our washing services do not cover the inside of the glass or pressure washing on this visit.
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.
