Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Delaware, most of our customers book it in the spring and the fall, once each, so the glass and the runs get cleaned on the same calendar.
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 price is set by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew works from those figures and a photo of the front of the house, so there is nothing to estimate on the day.
On our jobs, the things that change the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and picture windows and oversized panes that take longer to reach, gutters that have not been opened in years and come down packed with needles and leaves, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleaned. A film of grime on the glass is the normal case and is included. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue: no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras, and you will see every run photographed before the crew leaves.
For the exact number, send us the stories, the window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text. This quote covers the exterior only, so if you also want interior and exterior glass priced, say so when you call. Across Delaware the houses we see range from small ranches to tall colonials, and the photo lets us check the roofline before we give you a figure. Keep the sprinkler schedule in mind too, because a line that hits the glass will bring the spots back within a day of cleaning. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo, and we will send the written estimate the same day.
Window washing on a regular schedule keeps the glass clear, and the washing services we run are built around the same two-person crew. For a first visit, a window cleaning services quote covers the outside of every reachable pane, the frames and the screens, and sets up the schedule for the regular cleanings that follow.
| 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.
On our Bear jobs, most customers book both twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on the calendar. The spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the damp paste that packs into the gutters, and the fall visit catches the wet leaf load before it freezes in the runs. Storm and wind seasons, the nor'easters and summer thunderstorms across Delaware, can move the dates a few weeks in either direction. The glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to streak.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we leave. Clogged gutters are the usual reason for a third visit, since a run that stays full backs water up under the shingles and toward the fascia, which is where water damage starts. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects a film on the glass faster than the calendar suggests. In those cases we set a schedule of three or four visits a year rather than two. Multi-story buildings are priced by stories, so a three-story house is a different quote from a one-story ranch.
You can tell windows need cleaning again by a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign is worth a call, and we will tell you on the first visit which schedule your lot actually needs. Tell us when you book if the building is residential and commercial, since a mixed building changes the quote. Windows inside the house are not part of this calendar, so the visit covers the outside glass only. Start the season with one visit, and let the first set of photos decide the rest.
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 cleans gutters and exterior windows across Bear, and we schedule service around the two peak windows of the year, when the spring bloom and the fall leaves bring more calls. Most estimates start with a phone call or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count and the day. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come so you know when to expect the truck.
When the calendar fills, the openings go to whoever called first, so ask for a date before the peak weeks begin. Our window cleaners work from the same estimate you approve, and the job is scheduled from that record. Professional window cleaning on a house this size takes a morning for two stories, and the crew is on the ladder only as long as the job needs. The water-fed pole is how we remove dirt from the upper panes without a ladder against the siding. If you want a second opinion on a sill or a run, ask for it when you book.
Every window is measured against the same photo, so the quote holds if the count is right. Regular cleanings keep the curb appeal up between the big visits, and we can set the next date before the crew leaves. Use the booking line at (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or text the photo and we will reply with the date.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. The gutters and downspouts go first, so the runoff does not land on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. The estimate is the price we charge, with no separate line items for flushing or haul-off. Condos are quoted only after we see which gutters and glass belong to your unit.
Usually the outside carries the most. Rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior of every residential window, and those are the marks residential properties show first in Bear.
Across Delaware most customers book in the spring and the fall, and in Bear the spring pollen and the fall leaf load are the two times to plan for.
Not if the gutters go first. Clearing a run sends leaves, grit and black water down the wall, so we do the gutters, flush the downspouts, and only then start on the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the quote when we can reach them from the outside.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing, and the water-fed pole is how we remove dirt from the outside glass and the runs.
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.
