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 onto the 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 Virginia Beach jobs, most customers book it in spring and again in fall.
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, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window washing and gutter cleaning share one quote from our window cleaning services, so the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. There are no surprises on the invoice. Our washing services are priced the same way on a single-story ranch as on a three-story house.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes how many hours the job takes, and a large number of oversized picture windows does too. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer than gutters cleaned last season. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem: cleaning removes the dirt on top, but the mineral marks stay until they are treated. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
Here is one way to see it. A customer on a two-story house with mature trees over the roof and a lot of window glass had the number we quoted by text from a photo of the front of the house and a rough window count. The crew found the gutters packed and a run of grime on the lower windows, and the number on the invoice matched the text. To get your exact number, send a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and about how many windows you have. We will tell you the price before anyone books a date.
We clean the exterior only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. Interior and exterior glass cleaning is not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing on this job.
| 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, spring visits run from mid to late May and fall visits run from November to early December. Most of our Virginia Beach customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Every spring the glass gets a film of pollen, and the gutters fill with pollen paste as it washes down. A pollen film lifts off with plain water, but grime baked on under it takes cleaning solutions to remove dirt. Every fall the leaf load builds up, and the wet mat sits in the runs and sends runoff down the wall until the first hard rain.
Heavy tree cover over the roof usually means a third visit, because clogged gutters fill with needles and grit between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another reason to come back: the spots that return a day after cleaning are mineral deposits, and regular cleanings cannot remove them. Multi-story buildings collect grime faster on the upper floors, and so do condos and houses near a busy road or a construction site, so those customers tend to be on a shorter cycle too. The same pattern holds for residential and commercial buildings alike, since gutters on either fill the same way.
Gutters and windows get their own signs that it is time. You will see haze on the glass when the sun is low, the kind you only notice in the morning. You will see water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in heavy rain, and that overflow is how water damage gets into siding and fascia. Virginia Beach averages 46.6 inches of rain a year, and July through September are the wettest months, so the summer gutters work hardest. Either sign means the last visit is behind you.
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.
Our window cleaners and cleaning services run across Virginia Beach, and we keep one schedule for the whole city so the same two people do both jobs. Professional window cleaning starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, late spring and fall, the calendar fills first. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the next open date, and we will call before we come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew stays outside and does not come into the house. We clean every residential window on the outside of the house and check every run of gutters and downspouts before we leave. If you want the work scheduled around something, tell us when you book and we will work around it. The easiest way to schedule service is to send the photo first, so the estimate and the date are settled in one conversation. We serve residential properties, and clean glass and clear gutters add to curb appeal.
Yes. Window and gutter cleaning on residential properties is one job for our two-person crew, done in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Pricing for condos works the same way, by stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it before the visit.
On a typical residential window, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is where most of the grime is, and cleaning it is how you remove dirt from the glass. Interior glass is a separate question.
Across Virginia, spring visits run from mid to late May and fall visits from November to early December. Most of our customers here book in those windows, after the pollen season and before the first hard freeze.
No. Gutters first and glass last means the runoff from the gutters and downspouts is gone before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras.
We clean the exterior only on this visit, so inside glass and pressure washing are not included.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
