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 the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our South Hill jobs, most customers book both in the spring and fall, which is when the grime and leaves build up enough to matter.
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, with nothing added on the day.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it arrives: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Window and gutter work is priced the same way on every house, residential and commercial alike, so the number on the phone matches the total on the invoice. Multi-story buildings are counted by story, so each extra floor shows up on the quote before the crew arrives. We use no cleaning solutions on the glass, only purified water, and our quotes cover exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is never bundled into one number.
To get an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text. Our South Hill customers who send that up front usually get a firm estimate the same day, with no site visit needed to see the scope. Pollen film on the glass and paste in the gutters are the usual reasons for a repeat visit, and we flag those on the estimate so you can plan the spring cleaning ahead of time. Our regular cleanings keep the cost predictable from year to year because the grime stays lighter between visits.

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 South Hill customers book both twice a year, once in late spring and once in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and paste packed into the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs through the winter.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction pushes the schedule to a third visit. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, so we check the line on the first visit. Cleaning services for these houses are scheduled around the dry weather that the coastal storm fronts leave behind.
One of our customers on a lot with no trees books twice a year and has never needed more. A customer with trees over the roof and sprinkler spotting books three or four times a year, and the windows stay clear on that schedule. Professional window cleaning on your schedule means the glass gets cleaned before the haze shows, not after.
You will know windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Gutters and downspouts need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout, and the runoff that spills onto the siding is the first sign the runs are full. Until then, the curb appeal of the house holds up, and the water damage that clogged gutters cause in winter stays off the fascia.
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 the window and gutter cleaning jobs across South Hill, and we call before we come. The first step is an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Once we have that, we give you a date and a two-hour arrival window.
The busy stretch is the spring and fall leaf months, roughly mid to late June and late October to November, when our calendar fills first. Book early in those weeks by calling (866) 435-6328, and you get the slot you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we do ask that you let us know if a side gate is locked.
Our window cleaning services cover residential window jobs and residential properties throughout the area, and we can give clean windows and clear gutters on the same visit. To schedule service, call or text with the stories and a photo, and we will confirm the date. Every window on the outside of the house gets the same care, the sill is wiped on every pane we reach, and purified water lets us remove dirt without leaving streaks.
Yes, and it is the same two people. Our washing services cover the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the runs ends up on the clean glass.
We do not give a fixed figure on the website. The number comes from the stories and the window count, and condos are quoted the same way. We give it by phone or text, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
On our South Hill houses the outside carries most of the grime: film from the air, rain dust and sprinkler spots. The inside can be fine while the outside is hazy, so the outside is where the cleaning shows.
Our South Hill customers book in late spring and late fall. Those are the months we find the leaf load, so booking in those windows gets you on the calendar before it fills.
No, because we do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. Any runoff from the cleared runs has drained off before anyone touches the windows, so the glass stays clean.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. They are not billed as extras, and they are included in the number we quote.
No. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, which covers exterior glass only. We do not do pressure washing on this visit either.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off 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.
