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 back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our West Springfield jobs, most customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, when the seed, pollen and leaf loads are heaviest.
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 quote is the number we charge. Our washing services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and window washing done in the same visit as the gutters costs less than booking the two separately. We give that figure by phone or text once we know the house, so you are not guessing from a chart.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows take more handling than standard panes, and a house with a lot of glass takes longer than one with a few windows. A house on regular cleanings carries less grime than one that has gone years without, so the crew spends less time on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, add time to the clear-out. A gutter guard that has to be lifted and reseated is priced in as well. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem: cleaning does not remove it, and we say so on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our crew cleans the exterior of the glass only, so interior and exterior work is a separate booking and is not part of this visit. The tasks are straightforward when the house is measured properly. To get an exact figure, send a photo of the front of the house by text along with the number of stories and a rough window count. From those three things we can tell you what the job costs before anyone is booked, and the price on the invoice matches the one on the phone.
| 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 West Springfield 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 the calendar. In the spring the film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are the main things we find. In the fall the leaf load is the heavy one, and clogged gutters full of wet leaves cause water to sheet over the edge in the first rains. Across Virginia, storm season brings hurricanes and tropical remnants, and those can move these dates, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed day.
June, July and September are the wettest months in West Springfield, and that is when the most runoff comes off the roof and into the runs. Some houses need a third visit. On multi-story buildings with heavy tree cover over the roof, needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, so those customers come back more often. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that return a day after cleaning, and cleaning solutions will not lift them, so that is a problem to plan around rather than a cleaning to repeat. A gutter that overflows for a season can lead to water damage at the fascia, so we flag it rather than clean it again. A house close to a busy road or active construction picks up a film of dust faster than one set back on a quiet lot. The windows inside are not part of this visit, so a dusty sill indoors is a separate job.
The sign the windows need attention is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the sky. The sign the gutters need it is water running over the edge in a rain, not down the downspout. When you see either one, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you whether it is a cleaning or a separate problem.
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 works across West Springfield and the surrounding area, and we book a slot by phone or text. To start, send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the day and time. Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so booking early in those months gets you a better slot. Outside those windows the schedule has more room and lead times are shorter.
Gutter and window cleaning services suit any home with glass and runs of gutter, and our crew brings the same process to each one. Our professional window cleaning means the glass is washed with a water-fed pole and purified water, so no ladder is leaned against the siding for the upper floors. Some window cleaners still work from a ladder up there; our crew does not. A clear path around the house makes the lower panes and sills quicker to reach, so keep it open when you can. Every window on the outside of the house is covered, and sills are wiped as part of the job. Search results split residential and commercial window cleaning, and this page covers houses only.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not go inside. Keeping your curb appeal up through the seasons is simpler when the same crew handles both jobs on one schedule, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and schedule service at a time that suits you.
Yes. On residential properties our crew does both the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, so you are not booking two companies. We do the gutters first and the glass last so that debris from the runs does not land on clean panes.
We do not quote a figure from a chart. The price comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text once we know those details. Send a photo of the front of the house and the window count, and we will tell you the number before any work is scheduled.
On a residential window the outside carries most of the grime: seasonal dust, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that leave a film on the glass. Cleaning the outside keeps the view clear even when the inside is already clean, and the crew can remove dirt from the frames and sills before it builds up.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and again in the fall, before freezing weather sets in. Those are the two windows when our calendar fills fastest, so booking early in those months gets you a better slot.
No, that is why we do the gutters first and the glass last. In practice, gutters and downspouts are cleared first, and the leaves and grit that come down the wall are gone before the glass is washed, so it is washed once the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are cleaned as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included on the outside. None of these are billed as separate extras, so the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not do pressure washing, so if you need either one, tell us when you book and we will say what we can and cannot cover. Many condos have an association that already handles the outside glass, so check before you book.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off 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. The crew does not come inside, and photos of the finished work are sent before they leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
