Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and having both done together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Virginia, most of our customers book both in the spring and fall, which is when the leaves and grit build up.
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. What moves the quote on our jobs is the height of the house and steep roofs, the window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The crew works the glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to streak.
Across Virginia, the way we get an exact number is simple: text us or call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we come back with a figure before the crew is booked. We do not price from a guess about the house. A photo of the roofline shows us the pitch and the run length, and the window count tells us how much glass there is to reach on the ladder and the pole. A residential and commercial property is quoted the same way, by stories, window count and gutter condition.
We also tell you up front which parts of the house need the most time. Picture windows take longer to reach and clean evenly. Heavy grime on the sills adds minutes per window. Taller jobs, including multi-story buildings, are priced by stories first, since each extra floor adds ladder or pole time. A window-and-gutter cleaning that includes a deep gutter flush is a different job from a light annual pass, and we say which one we are quoting. Glass inside and out is quoted as interior and exterior work, so we price the outside alone unless you ask for both. Some customers book for curb appeal before the house goes on the market. Ask for the written estimate and we send it with the breakdown of stories, window count and gutter condition.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Stone Ridge customers settle into regular cleanings, 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. Across Virginia, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late May. In spring the gutters hold seed and catkin paste, and the south-facing glass carries a pollen film. The fall visit usually lands in late October to November, when the leaf load drops and gets wet, and that is when we see runs sag under the weight. Across Virginia, the storm season brings hurricanes and tropical remnants, and those storms are what move our dates most, so we book around the weather rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts more debris in the gutters between visits, so clogged gutters can build up in a single season. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A run that stays clogged into a storm can overflow and send water damage toward the foundation, which is the other reason to add a visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass and in the runs. For these, we suggest a third visit so the glass and the gutters stay in the same condition between the main cleanings.
Windows tell you when they need it. The sign is a faint haze you only see when the sun is low and the glass is lit from the side. Gutters tell you too: when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout, the runs are full and need attention. Watching for those two signs is usually enough to know when to call.
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 our window and gutter cleaning jobs cover the residential properties in Stone Ridge, and we know the neighborhoods well enough to plan the route. Every residential window gets the same outside pass, reached from the ladder or the pole. Booking works by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate and the next open date. The lead time varies with the season, and the calendar fills fastest during the two busy windows of the year, when the leaves are heaviest. Booking early in those windows keeps your slot.
When we are on the schedule, we call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside. We want a clear path to every window and every downspout, and a side gate that is open. For a house with a gate that is locked or a route that is blocked, we ask you to let us know when you book, so we plan the ladders and the pole around it.
On every visit we do professional window cleaning on the exterior of the house, so if you want the inside of the glass done too, that is a separate job we do not do on this visit. What we do is clean windows from the outside, reach every window including the upper stories, and wipe the sills and frames as part of the visit. To set up a schedule service that fits your house, call or text with the stories and window count and we will confirm the date.
Yes. The same two people who clean the outside of your windows also clean your gutters and downspouts in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us the number of stories and a photo of the front, and we give you a figure by text or phone before anyone is booked. If you own one of the condos here, the quote works the same way.
Yes, if the outside is carrying the grime. On our Stone Ridge jobs the outside glass picks up a film of rain dust and sprinkler spots that stay on the glass until they are treated. The inside can look clean while the outside is still hazy in low sun, and the crew can remove dirt from frames and sills on the same visit.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall. Spring catches the pollen and seed drop, and fall catches the leaves before the first hard freeze.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass is done after the gutters are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the window cleaning when they are reachable from the outside.
No. Our window washing services on this visit cover the outside of the glass only, and we do not do pressure washing. Windows inside the house are a separate job, and we can talk through that price when you book.
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 the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
