The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Virginia, most of the work we do with spring and fall schedules is this bundle, so the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 our cleaning services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and we confirm it before the crew is booked. If the building is both residential and commercial, mention it when you call so the quote covers the whole structure. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work from that.
On our jobs, what moves the quote is usually plain to see once the crew is on site: a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with seeds and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Picture windows take longer than a standard pane because the pole has to reach the full span. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are never billed as extras. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass. Our crew checks the window tracks and frames as they go, and anything beyond the exterior glass is named before the work starts.
The window and gutter bundle is the cheapest way we know to keep the outside of a house in order, but the honest test is the number on your own house. A Yorkshire homeowner recently had the gutters on a two-story house cleaned along with the front and side glass, and the quote moved mainly on the back run, which sat behind a tree line and had a year of grit packed in the elbows. That is what we look at first. If you want the exact figure, send the stories, the rough window count and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with a written estimate.
Pollen and grit build up on the glass and in the gutters at the same time, which is why we treat the two as one job. Once the outside is clean, the windows show their true condition, and the curb appeal of the house usually improves with them. For a house that gets regular cleanings, the second visit is usually faster and less costly than the first.
| 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 Yorkshire customers book professional window cleaning and gutter work twice a year, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on this calendar. Across Virginia, spring visits usually land in mid to late May, after the seed drop has finished, and our fall visit lands in late October to November, after the leaves have come down.
In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and grit paste packed in the gutter elbows. In fall, clogged gutters from wet leaf mats are the main job, and they are what drag the runs down and push water over the edge. Storm and wind seasons, especially the hurricane and tropical remnant months across Virginia, can move the dates, and we will call before the visit if that happens.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, so those customers are on every three to four months, before water damage can start at the fascia. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and the frequency there is set by the sprinkler, not by dirt. Multi-story buildings and houses near a busy road or a construction site collect more grime on the glass, and professional window cleaning on a shorter cycle keeps up with it.
You will know the windows need attention when a haze shows up only in low sun, and the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during a rain. The haze is usually on the outside pane, not the windows inside, which are a separate job. Our crew will tell you which of these your house is showing at the first visit.
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 homes across the Yorkshire area, and window and gutter cleaning is done by the same crew, so there is no handoff between the two jobs. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the window and gutter count and give you a date. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the earliest slot when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when the calendar fills fastest. If you want a particular date in those months, it helps to schedule service early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and our crew calls before they come, so you are never surprised by a truck in the driveway. We clean every window on the outside of the house that can be reached safely from the ground or a pole, and we tell you about any sill or frame that needs more than a rinse.
Our crews work on residential properties, condos included, and each residential window on the exterior gets the same approach, so the clean windows you see afterward come from one visit. For an accurate number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will schedule the visit from there.
Yes, and it is the same crew. Our washing services cover the gutters and exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing blows back onto clean windows. The window cleaning services are part of that same visit, not a second trip.
We do not give a figure in writing without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the window count, and you can get it by phone or text, with a written estimate before we book.
Usually yes, because the outside carries grit, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and cleaning is how we remove dirt from the glass. The inside is a separate job, and we do not do interior glass on this visit.
Most of our Yorkshire customers book in the spring and fall visit windows. Across Virginia, spring visits usually land in mid to late May, and fall visits land in late October to November, on the schedule described above.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass, so the runoff clears before the windows are cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are checked and cleaned where they can be reached from the outside, and anything beyond that is named before the work starts.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit, so the interior and exterior split is clear before the crew arrives. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing on the same appointment.
No, 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, 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.
