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 the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips.
On our jobs across Virginia, spring and fall are the seasons when most homes need both done, and we keep the calendar open for them.
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. Booking window and gutter cleaning together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. Oversized panes, including picture windows, and a high window count add time at the glass. Clogged gutters, the ones packed with needles and leaves or not cleaned in years, take more hours than a light run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that cleaning will not remove, and we tell you about it before the visit rather than after.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping, along with the cleaning solutions used on frames, are part of the job and not billed as extras. Those steps are in the number you hear on the phone. Our quote covers exterior work only, so if you ask about interior and exterior glass we tell you up front that it is outside this visit. Nothing shows up on the invoice that was not discussed first.
We are not able to give a figure for every home without knowing its stories and window count, so the fastest way to a real number is a text with a photo of the front of the house and a rough count of the stories. From that, we tell you the price, and we do the job at that price. If you are booking regular cleanings, say so when you call so the schedule is set once. Our quotes are for residential work, so if a building is residential and commercial, tell us what it is when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get your estimate. Ask for a written estimate if you want one before you book a date.

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 Tuckahoe customers book professional window cleaning and gutter work both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew on one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Virginia the pattern is the same for our cleaning services: the spring visit comes after the early bloom, and the fall visit comes after the leaves have dropped. Most cleanings land in those two windows.
At the spring visit, the south-facing glass usually carries a pollen film, and the gutters hold pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall the gutters fill with wet leaf mat, and clogged gutters are the ones that sag hangers and back water over the edge, which is one way water damage starts at the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates a few weeks in either direction, so we book from what the house actually shows, not from a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grime and dust on the frames than a quiet street does. On those houses, and on multi-story buildings with a lot of glass, we plan three visits a year or more.
If you can see haze on the glass only when the sun is low, the windows are due. If water sheets over the edge of the gutter in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout, the gutters are due. Clean glass also matters for curb appeal, since the windows are what people see from the street.
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 exterior windows across Tuckahoe on a standing schedule, and a residential window and gutter cleaning visit is booked the same way for each of the residential properties we service. You get a quote by phone or text once we have the stories, the count of every window, and a photo of the house front, and then we set a date that works for the crew. Lead time depends on the calendar that week, and we will tell you the date when you call.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, when the bloom and the leaf drop both arrive. If you want a date in those months, book early. Outside those windows, a slot is usually easier to schedule.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we arrive in the window we gave you. The crew does not come inside, so the only thing we ask is that the side gate is unlocked and that pets are kept inside while the ladders are up.
Our crew also does gutter cleaning on its own, including gutters and downspouts, for homes that only need that, so a visit can be scoped to what the house actually needs. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with a photo of the roofline and a note on how many stories the house has.
Yes, the same two people do both jobs on the same visit. We start with the gutters and downspouts and finish with the glass, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows. You get one visit and one invoice.
We give the number on the phone or by text, based on the stories and the size of the house. Condos are quoted the same way, from the floor and the window count. We do not quote a figure without knowing those two things. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside takes the hits. Tree film, rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots collect on the exterior glass, and the inside stays cleaner without them. A visit is there to remove dirt before it builds up, and we clean the exterior only on this visit.
Most of our Tuckahoe customers book window cleaning services in spring and in fall. Across Virginia the pattern is the same, and the calendar fills in those two windows. Book early if you want a specific date.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so we rinse the wall before we touch the windows. That order is the reason for the visit sequence.
Our window washing services rinse the screens and wipe the sills as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the same visit.
Exterior only on this visit. Windows inside are not part of the job, and we do not do pressure washing, so the job is limited to the outside glass and the gutters.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
