Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs down clean windows. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall every year, and we have been doing this across Virginia long enough to know what a season of pollen and leaves does to a house.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing gutters and exterior windows together 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 what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, a window count that includes oversized panes and picture windows, gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are included in every quote on residential and commercial buildings alike, and none of them is billed as an extra.
To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with your story count and a rough window count, or call (866) 435-6328. Our crew checks the roofline from the photo before the call, so the estimate you hear reflects what we will actually find. Professional window cleaning crews will tell you the same thing: the scope is set by height and glass, not by the square footage on paper. Our crew brings its own cleaning solutions, water and power, so nothing has to be set up at the house. We quote exterior glass only, so interior and exterior cleaning are priced separately if you want both. The people who ask for a window and gutter cleaning bundle usually have one of two concerns, time or cost, and the bundle answers both.
On one recent Sudley job, the homeowner had a two-story house with a sprinkler line hitting the front glass and gutters that had not been opened in about three years. The quote moved because of the gutter packing and the hard-water spotting on the front picture windows, both of which we noted on the first visit. Our crew photographed each run and sent the photos before leaving, so the homeowner could see exactly what had been removed. Cleanings like that one are why we prefer to give you a figure from a photo and a story count rather than guess from the street.
| 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 Sudley customers book regular cleanings twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on this calendar.
In the spring, the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and sticky residue packs into the gutter elbows, so that visit is mostly about the seed and blossom drop. In the fall, the leaf load is the main job, and a wet leaf mat that sits through winter sags the hangers, holds water at the fascia and can lead to water damage at the soffit. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates a few weeks in either direction, so we book from what the house is doing rather than the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings, and clogged gutters on those houses can fill faster than the calendar allows. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime on the glass. On those jobs we set a third visit, usually in the summer.
One Sudley customer with no trees around the house has been on twice a year since we started, and the visits are short because the gutters stay mostly clear between them. Another customer under mature trees, with sprinkler spotting on the front glass, is on three or four visits a year, and her gutters are the reason. Both are on the same schedule from our side; the difference is what the house sends down.
You can tell the windows need attention when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into 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.
We have done residential window and gutter cleaning jobs, including multi-story buildings, in several Sudley neighborhoods, and we work the same way on every house. To schedule service, start with an estimate by phone or text at (866) 435-6328: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you the price and the first open date. The typical lead time depends on the season, so ask for the first open date when you book. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring bloom period and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills in both. If you want a visit in either window, call early. A slot filled in spring will often open again in the fall, so a homeowner who books the spring visit early is most likely to get the date they want. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal in the months when people see the house most.
Each house is a separate job, so we price and schedule each one on its own. If you want us to clean every window and the gutters on a house you own in town, or on an office building, we will set the visit with you in the same call, and we will quote the bundle the same way for both.
Yes. Our window washing services bundle the gutter work with the glass, and the same two people clean the gutters first and then the outside of the windows in one visit. That order matters because runoff from the gutters can run down any glass below it.
The number comes from your story count and approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without seeing the house, so send a photo of the front and we will give you the exact price.
On most houses and condos here, yes. Tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the outside of the glass, and clean interior glass will still look hazy from outside if that film is left.
Most of our Sudley customers book in the spring and in the fall. Spring visits follow the bloom, and fall visits follow the leaf drop, and we schedule each house around its own timing.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass were washed first, runoff from the gutters would leave streaks on it, and we would have to clean it again. The crew rinses each pane to remove dirt before the final wipe.
Every window on the outside gets its frame wiped and sill cleaned, and screens are rinsed, so none of that is billed separately. Tracks are included in the same visit.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Windows inside the house are not part of the visit, and we do not do pressure washing, so those jobs need a separate booking.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
