The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them separately. Across Virginia, most of our customers book spring and fall, and we keep the schedule tight around those two windows so the crew can work through the whole house. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you a firm number for your house.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are the ones the crew sees from the ground and the ladder: a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew has to work from a different position, a large number of windows or oversized picture windows that take longer to wipe clean, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Where it matters most is in the details that do not show up in a photo. A house with a sprinkler line hitting the glass needs a different plan than one without, and the same goes for a roof with a lot of overhanging branches. We ask for the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and that is enough for us to give you a number you can rely on. The glass is cleaned with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and the number covers that. If the property is a residential and commercial mix, such as a shop under the same roof, mention it on the call so we can tell you whether the number still holds. Interior and exterior glass is handled differently, and on this visit we only do the exterior side of the windows, so that is what the number covers.
Once the crew has seen the house, the quote holds. If a gutter needs a second pass or a window needs extra attention, we tell you before we start rather than adding it at the end. Pollen season and regular cleanings are the two biggest reasons customers call us back, and both are easier to plan when the first estimate covers the full 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.
Most of our Williamsburg customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. On our jobs the spring visit lands in mid to late May, and the fall visit falls between November and early December.
In the spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters and downspout elbows. In the fall the leaf load is the main job, and in heavy wind or storm seasons the dates can shift, so we confirm the window with you before we book. Houses under heavy tree cover, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction tend to need a third visit, because spots and grit come back between cleanings. Those are the cases where regular cleanings make the most sense, and we will tell you on the first visit whether your house is one of them.
On our jobs, a house with a lot of trees over the roof usually sits on a three to four month schedule, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A house with few or no trees usually needs one visit a year in late fall. Our crew also keeps track of clogged gutters and water damage that starts when runoff backs up along the fascia, so if we see that happening we say so on the visit. Multi-story buildings on the same street often need a different rhythm, and we plan around that when we see the house. Professional window cleaning is only as good as the schedule it runs on, and our cleaning services follow the same calendar, which is why we keep it honest with customers from the start.
You will know windows need cleaning when you notice a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 window and gutter cleaning jobs across Williamsburg and the homes around it. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm estimate for both jobs in one visit. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew calls before they arrive so you know when to expect them.
We clean residential window and residential properties of every size, and we work on clean windows and gutter systems in the same visit so you are not paying twice for a crew to come out. Schedule service early in spring and fall, because those are the two windows when our calendar fills fastest. Every window on the house gets the same attention, including the sill and the frame, so the crew can remove dirt from each one instead of leaving a film behind. Clean glass also does a lot for curb appeal, which is why the crew checks every visible pane. Lead times depend on the season, and we tell you the next open date when you call.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew handles both, and our washing services follow that order. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We work the figure out from what the crew will actually do on the house.
In Williamsburg the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Our window cleaning services are built around that, and cleaning the inside would not remove dirt that arrives from outside, so the exterior glass is where most of the grime lives.
On our jobs, most customers here book in late spring and again in the fall, so those are the windows when our calendar fills. Booking early in those months gives you the most flexibility on the date. If you live in one of the condos, tell us when you call, because the crew needs to know which gutter runs and windows are yours before they arrive.
No, we clean gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters is finished before any window is touched. That order is the reason we do both in one visit.
Screens are hand-rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior window job, so they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the same visit.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, so windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
