Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, and we do the gutters first and the glass last. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew has done this for a lot of Vienna homeowners, and most of them book the bundle in the spring and the fall. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, or text a photo of the house front.
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, both jobs together in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. A quote built from those two things is one you can check against the house before the crew arrives. Pricing here is for residential houses only, so if you are asking about a residential and commercial job, call first and we will tell you whether we can book it.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the number. A third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift changes the setup. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows, which take longer to reach and wipe. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the job too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate condition: cleaning removes the dirt on the glass, but the mineral marks left by the water stay until a separate treatment deals with them. Interior and exterior glass are not priced together on this visit, since the crew works only the outside.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions and the water-fed pole come with the job too. Our Vienna customers who clean their windows once and their gutters on the same day tend to pay less overall than the same two jobs on separate visits, and the crew explains where the saving comes from before the first ladder goes up. The window and gutter bundle is the thing most people in Vienna ask about first.
Here is how a recent Vienna job looked. A two-story house with a lot of glass on the back run needed both the gutters and the exterior windows; the quote moved on the window count and the picture windows on that run, and on a gutter that had not been cleared in a long time. It is one job, and the quote matched the invoice. The case is linked on our site.
If you want an exact number, start with the stories and an approximate count of the windows, and text a photo of the front of the house to the number on our site. We will tell you what the crew will see from the ground before we book the visit. Ask for a written estimate and we will send it the same day we talk.

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 Vienna customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. For most houses, regular cleanings are the routine, once in each season. The spring visit comes after the seed drop has finished, and the fall visit comes after the last leaves have come down. Both visits are scheduled from the calendar in our city data, not from a guess, and the crew calls before it arrives.
What we find at each visit is consistent. In the spring, a dusty film sits on south-facing glass and a paste sits in the gutter elbows. In the fall, the leaf load clogs gutters, and the wet mat keeps water sitting against the fascia, which is how water damage starts at the trim. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, and we adjust the booking when they do.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit in the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or construction collects more dust and grime on the frames and sills. These are the cases where we suggest a third visit as we see them on the jobs.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. Clean glass does more for curb appeal than most people expect, so that haze matters. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either one between visits, text a photo and we will look.
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 cleaned windows and gutters on residential properties across Vienna, and the crew knows the housing stock here well enough to plan the setup before we arrive. Professional window cleaning is what the crew does on every visit, from the pole to the gutter flush. To schedule service, send an estimate request by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Call (866) 435-6328 to start. That is enough for us to give you a number and a lead time before the crew is booked. Lead time depends on the season, so we give the actual date when we call you back.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside. The windows inside the house are not part of the visit, and before any ladder goes up we call to confirm the arrival window. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and the calendar fills in those months, so booking early is the simplest way to get the day you want.
The full window and gutter cleaning job is one visit for a standard residential property: gutters and downspouts, and the outside of every residential window on the house, including the sills. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners who only need the gutters. For multi-story buildings and larger residential properties, we set the boom or scissor lift on the day, and the crew checks every window before it packs up. Ask us to schedule service on your street and we will confirm what we can do before the date is set.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people doing both in one visit. Our window washing services and gutter work are booked together, so you get one invoice. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Condos are quoted the same way, from the stories and the window count. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
On our Vienna jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and they cloud the glass before the inside gets dirty. Cleaning the outside is how we remove dirt from the glass, and it is the part that changes how the windows look from the street.
Most of our Vienna customers book in the spring after the pollen drop and in the fall after the leaves are down. Those are the windows we book most often, and early booking gets you the day you want.
No, gutters first, glass last is the reason. When we clear a run, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Grime on the sills comes off with the wipe. Tracks are included in the outside clean where they can be reached from the outside.
No, this visit is exterior glass only. We do not clean the inside of the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. Ask us about the scope before we book so you know exactly what we will do.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list, and the crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
