Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We go gutters first, glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof lands on clean glass. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across West Virginia, most of our customers book this twice a year, in the spring and the fall, and 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 window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs take longer on the ladder. A standard residential window goes quickly, while picture windows add time at the glass, and we count every window when we give the quote.
What moves a quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutters that have not been cleaned in years, gutter 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.
Across West Virginia, the way we get the exact number is simple. Tell us the stories, give us the approximate window count, and text a photo of the front of the house. Professional window cleaning on multi-story buildings, or on a house where the gutters have sat clogged for a long time, depends on the same three things, and we would rather see the photo than guess. When water damage shows up at a fascia or a sill, we note it in the report and do not bill it as part of the cleaning.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $230 |
| Two stories | from $185 | from $200 | from $310 |
| Three stories | from $240 | from $270 | from $410 |
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 St. Albans customers book two cleanings a year, one in the spring and one in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across West Virginia, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late May and the fall visit in late October to November. Our cleaning services follow those two windows, and to schedule service you text us the stories and a photo of the front. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste in the gutter elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf load in the runs and the grit that washes down the wall onto the sills. Across West Virginia, summer thunderstorms and derechos can move a visit, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film faster than most.
Here is how you know the windows need it: you see a haze only when the sun is low. Here is how you know the gutters need it: water sheets over the edge in 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 offer window cleaning services across St. Albans and the surrounding area, and most of our calls come from residential properties where grime has built up on exterior glass and on the gutters and downspouts that hold it. Our washing services cover the frames and sills too, and the crew uses a hose and brush to remove dirt before the glass is done. Runoff from a clogged gutter is the other thing we see most, so the gutters are cleared first. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. The lead time depends on the calendar, and we tell you the next open slot when we quote.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, when the leaves and grit are heaviest. If you can book outside those, you are more likely to get the day you want. We do not promise a same-day visit. Condos and multi-unit buildings are scheduled around the building's access, and we coordinate that before the crew arrives.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come and again when we are on the way, and we do not have to come inside. If we find something on the roof that is not part of the cleaning, we photograph it and send it to you rather than trying to sell you anything.
Yes, it is the same two people. We do the gutters first and the glass last, in one visit, so the glass is not washed twice. If you only want the windows done, we can do that too.
We do not quote a figure off the page. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we price residential and commercial buildings the same way. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will send you a written estimate.
On our jobs here, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. The inside can look clean while the outside is hazy in low sun, which is when most people notice it.
Our customers here book in spring and in fall, and regular cleanings in those two windows keep the gutters from backing up. Booking early in each window gives you the most choice of dates.
No. We do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass is cleaned after the gutters are finished and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job, and we do not bill them as extras. Cleaning solutions are used only where water alone will not lift the film. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
This visit covers the exterior only. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and we do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing as part of this bundle.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Text (866) 435-6328 with any questions before we arrive.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
