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 nothing washes back onto clean panes. We price the bundle by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Virginia, most of our customers book spring and fall, and we keep Suffolk on the same schedule. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and a rough window count, and we will give you the number we will charge.
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 residential properties by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking gutters and windows separately. Our gutters and downspouts work is one line on the quote, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew finds what drives a quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large window count with oversized picture windows, clogged gutters packed with leaves and needles that have not been opened in years, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Multi-story buildings take the most time on the ladder, and grime that has baked onto the glass for a season takes longer to rinse than fresh dust. Each of these changes the time on the setup, which is why we look at the house before we give a final figure.
Here is how we get you the exact number. Text us a photo of the front of the house, tell us the stories, and give a rough count of windows, including any picture windows and every residential window on the back. Our window washing crew works from that list, and the quote reflects what we will actually do. Many customers see the window washing services and gutter work quoted side by side on one page, and the same crew handles both, so there is no separate charge for the crew to travel between jobs. Our regular cleanings are scheduled to keep the price predictable from one visit to the next. This quote covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior glass work is priced on its own.
| 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.
Across Virginia, most of our customers book gutters and exterior glass twice a year, in spring and in fall, so one crew can do the window and gutter work on the same visit. Across Virginia, the spring visit lands in mid to late May. Here in Suffolk the fall visit falls in late November to December, timed to the leaf fall and the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs. Pollen is the first thing we see in spring: a film on south-facing glass and paste packed into the gutters, which we clear before the glass is touched. Fall brings the grit that washes down the downspouts.
Storm season across Virginia, mainly the hurricanes and tropical remnants that cross the state, can move the dates, and a storm that drops debris into the gutters is a reason to call us early. Suffolk gets about 51.8 inches of rain a year, and July through September is the wettest stretch, so clogged gutters back up fastest then. Snow falls about 5.8 inches a year, mostly in January and February, and a clogged run that holds water can ice up and send it down the fascia, which is how water damage starts. Some houses need a third visit. We see that most often under heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, when a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots, or on multi-story buildings with a lot of glass on the upper floors, which are slower to reach and get dirty faster.
Two signs tell you it is time. Haze you only notice when the sun is low means the glass needs cleaning, and water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout means the gutters do. If haze shows on the windows inside, that is condensation or a seal problem, not dirt, and cleaning the outside will not fix it. If you see either outside sign, we can look at it on a short visit.
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 schedule service by phone or text: send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a window. Lead time changes with the season, and during the busy stretch of the year our calendar fills, so the sooner you call the sooner we can schedule service for you. Our professional window cleaning crew is the same two people for both the gutters and the glass, so the visit runs in one pass instead of two separate trips. Our window cleaning services cover every residential window on the outside of the house, and the cleaning services also clear gutters and downspouts in the same pass. Our window cleaners work from a water-fed pole for the upper stories, which keeps the work off the siding and keeps the crew on the ground where it is safe.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every gutter run and of the finished glass before we leave. We use cleaning solutions on the frames and sills, and purified water on the glass, so no film is left to hold grime. Clean gutters and clean glass are a small thing on any home, but they matter for curb appeal, and a house that looks cared for is easier to sell and easier to live in. We also clean every window on the outside of the house, including the ones on the back, so the job ends with a complete, even result.
Yes, our crew does both. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by runoff.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and residential and commercial buildings are priced on the same basis. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it from there.
On a Suffolk house the outside carries most of the dirt: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the outside of every residential window, and the inside stays clean on its own. Exterior glass is what we clean on this visit.
Most of our customers book the spring visit and the fall visit. Across Virginia, the spring visit lands in mid to late May, and here in Suffolk the fall visit falls in late November to December.
Not when the gutters are done first. When gutters and downspouts are cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so we clear the roof, the gutters and every downspout, let the wall dry, and only then touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the job. We do not bill them as extras, though tracks are checked and cleaned as part of the window work on the outside.
We do not clean the windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. This visit covers exterior glass and gutters only, and interior and exterior glass jobs are quoted separately.
No, you do not need to be home, and condos are scheduled the same way. 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
