Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our West Falls Church customers book it in spring and again in fall, so the calendar is familiar to us before you call. Use the estimator above or call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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 window washing and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the two jobs done together in one visit cost less than booking two separate washing services. The number we quote over the phone or by text is the number we charge, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job rather than billed as extras. Our quote covers the exterior only, and we do not mix interior and exterior glass on one invoice.
On our jobs the quote moves for a handful of reasons the crew sees on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes the setup and the time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and large panes take longer per pane than standard double-hung glass. Glass with grime baked on takes extra passes, and gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before the water runs clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is a separate mineral problem that regular cleanings will not remove.
For a house where we have already done the work, the number comes from what we found rather than a guess. On a multi-story house, the quote goes up when the crew finds oversized panes on the upper floors or gutters full of seed pods, and the invoice matches the final number. Our window cleaning services are priced from a photo, so to get your number, text us the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has, and we will work out the window count before anyone drives out.
| 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, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late May and the fall visit in late October to November, so most of our West Falls Church customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in late fall after the leaves come down. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them.
In the spring we find pollen as a yellow film on south-facing glass and a yellow dust packed into the gutter elbows. In the fall the leaf load is what we clear first, and clogged gutters hold a wet mat that pushes water against the fascia, which is how water damage starts. Across Virginia, hurricanes and tropical remnants can move those dates a few weeks in either direction, so we schedule against what the house shows us rather than the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters and downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or active construction picks up dust faster than the rest, so it takes more passes to remove dirt from the glass. We see that pattern on the houses that cannot go a full season between cleanings.
If the windows are overdue, you will notice it as a haze that only shows when the sun is low. If the gutters are overdue, the sign is runoff sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of going down the downspout. Either one is a good reason to call, and we will tell you which of the two you actually have when we come out.
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 crew provides professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning services for residential properties across West Falls Church, and the neighborhoods we have cleaned are the ones you can tell us about when you call. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the window count and the time it takes. Lead time depends on the season, and we give you the date we can actually hold rather than a promise we cannot keep.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring months and the fall leaf months, so booking early in those stretches gets you a slot that suits you. Outside those windows there is usually more room, and we can often fit a visit around a day you need. A clean front is most of the curb appeal a house has, which is why we do the glass and the gutters together. Our schedule service is built around those dates, and we confirm each visit before we come.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works from the ground and the ladder, does not come inside, and cleans every window it can reach before sending photos of the finished glass and each gutter run. We take residential and commercial jobs, and each residential window gets the same exterior pass as the rest. For multi-story buildings, the quote comes from stories and window count, and the same crew handles the work on a fixed schedule so it stays consistent from visit to visit.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the outside of the glass second, in one visit, so the work does not have to be redone. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count.
We give the number by phone or text, based on the number of stories and the size of the house. Send a photo of the front and we will work it out from there.
Outside glass in this area picks up pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those sit on the outside where the inside cleaning never reaches. Cleaning the outside alone is a normal job for us, done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and it is how we remove dirt the weather leaves on the glass.
Most of our West Falls Church customers book in the spring, when the visit usually lands in mid to late May across Virginia, and again in late fall after the leaves come down. Outside those windows we can usually find a slot sooner.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and let the wall stop dripping before we touch the glass, so the runoff does not run back onto the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
We clean the exterior of the glass only, so the windows inside stay out of the visit, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. 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.
