Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and grit from the roof never land on panes we have already washed.
We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Virginia, most of our customers book it for spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest on the glass and in the gutters.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Whether you search for window cleaners or gutter cleaners, the same crew handles both on one visit.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more work before any water runs clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that regular cleaning does not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Professional window cleaning on a house this size is done from the ground with a water-fed pole wherever the pole reaches.
On the phone we ask how many stories the house has, roughly how many windows face the street, and for a photo of the front of the house by text. With those three things we can give you the exact number before the crew is scheduled. Multi-story buildings are priced by story count, so a three-story house is quoted above a two-story one. Oversized panes, window tracks and anything that needs a boom or scissor lift are noted in that quote, so you see them before the day. Windows inside are not part of this price, so the quote covers the outside glass only. Homeowners who ask for window washing often find the gutter run is the bigger part of the job, and we say so on the estimate. Clean glass and clear gutters do most of the curb appeal work on a house, and the quote covers both. A house with clogged gutters that have been overflowing for a season can also show water damage on the fascia, which the crew photographs and reports rather than fixes. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your number, or text a photo of the front of the house and we will send it back.

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 customers here book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Our cleaning services for gutters and glass follow that same spring and fall rhythm.
What we find at each visit follows the season. In spring the pollen film on south-facing glass is thick, and the pollen paste in the gutter elbows is what blocks the downspouts. In fall it is the leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit the wet mat is what sags the runs by late winter. Each residential window gets the same check, and every window on the house is looked at, frame and sill included. Across Virginia, hurricanes and tropical remnants move the dates, so we call before we schedule service and do not hold a date we cannot keep. For the fall visit, late October to November is the usual window.
Some residential properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate look. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grit on the glass faster than a quiet street does. Regular cleanings keep these buildup problems from becoming a bigger job, and they keep the cost of each visit lower over the year.
You will see the windows need it when the haze shows up only in low sun. Clean windows look the same in every light, and dirty ones do not. You will see the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 cover gutters and glass across Sterling and across the rest of the county the city sits in, and the work is the same whether the house is on a quiet street or a larger lot. Booking for our washing services runs through a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We call before we come and tell you the arrival window the day before.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, so those are the times to book early. Outside those windows a slot usually opens within the next few weeks. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. Multi-story buildings, multi-family buildings and small condos are quoted per building, so the owner or manager gets one number for the whole site instead of one per unit.
Gutters and downspouts are cleared first on every visit, before the glass. Sprinkler runoff and roof runoff both leave marks on the glass and the siding, and the grime they leave is checked on the same visit. The crew can remove dirt from the frames and sills while on the ladder, and we flag anything beyond the job so you can decide what to do with it.
Yes. Our crew does both, gutters first and glass last, in one visit, so you pay for one trip and one setup. The same steps apply to residential and commercial glass, and the quote on this page covers homes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before anyone is scheduled.
The outside is where the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect, so the inside cleaning does not fix what the outside carries here. Picture windows get the same outside cleaning on the same visit, so a large pane is not a separate job.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, and the pollen and leaf months are the busiest times on our calendar.
No, because the gutters are done first and the glass last, and the wall is given a few minutes to drip before anyone touches the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job, and none of it is billed as an extra.
Interior and exterior glass are not both on this visit, because we do exterior glass only, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing. Our cleaning solutions are purified water, so the outside glass dries without streaks.
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. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, or text a photo of the front of the house and we will send the number back.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
