Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Most of our Sugarland Run customers book it in the spring and fall, when the leaves are heaviest on the 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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. We set the price from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle of gutters and windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Once we know the stories and the window count, you have the figure before anyone climbs a ladder. We quote residential and commercial buildings the same way.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof makes the work slower and needs a boom or scissor lift. A large window count or oversized picture windows adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs more than a standard cleaning. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We do not bundle interior and exterior glass into one quote, so the figure covers the outside.
We have seen this play out on a Sugarland Run house where the owner had the gutters cleaned by one crew and the windows by another a month later. Once the crew saw the stories, the window count and the packed runs, the quote was set from those three things. Send us a photo of the front of your house by text and we can tell you the stories and window count before the crew comes out. Regular cleanings for the gutters and exterior glass can run on the same schedule, so one visit covers both, and the cleaning solutions we use are chosen for the glass and the gutter material.
| 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 Sugarland Run customers book gutter and window cleaning services twice a year. Across Virginia, the spring visit falls in mid to late May, and the fall visit runs from late October to November. On our jobs, the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutter elbows. The fall visit catches the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs over winter. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates a little, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit in the downspouts between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass, so it needs cleaning more often. Professional window cleaning on a regular schedule keeps that buildup from becoming a water damage problem at the sill.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. Our window cleaners can see both on the first visit, and we will tell you which schedule your house actually needs. Most multi-story buildings and homes with clogged gutters follow the same twice-a-year pattern once the first cleaning is done. Clean glass and clear runs also do more for curb appeal than most owners 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 clean gutters and windows on homes across Sugarland Run, and the work is the same whether it is a small single-story house or one of the larger residential properties we see. Booking starts with a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. The window and gutter cleaning estimate comes from that, and we confirm the date once it is set.
Lead time depends on the season. In the two busy windows of the year, when the leaves come down, our calendar fills faster, so it helps to book early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know when the crew is on the way. Our goal on every visit is to leave clean windows and clear gutters. Every window on the list gets the same attention, including the sill, and that holds for each residential window we clean.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. We will tell you the next open date and the window count we have on file.
Yes. The same two people clean gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the runs never reaches the clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and condos get the same quote from stories and window count. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will quote from that.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime here: rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the glass and frame. Washing windows inside alone leaves that outside film in place.
Our customers here usually book in late spring and again in late fall. The spring visit catches the spring film and the fall visit catches the leaves. Call (866) 435-6328 for the next open date.
No. Gutters come first and glass last, so the leaves, grit and runoff from the runs are flushed before anyone washes a window. Washing the glass first means doing it twice.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and the frames are cleaned, since the goal is to remove dirt from every surface the crew touches. They are not billed as extras.
Not on this visit. Our window cleaning services cover exterior glass only, and pressure washing is not part of our washing services.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
