The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Delaware, most of our customers book it in the spring and the fall. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the number on the phone, which is the number we charge.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones the crew sees on the day: a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked, a large number of picture windows or oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no window cleaning removes. Heavy grime takes more time to remove dirt from the glass than a light film of dust, and regular cleanings keep that time down.
To get the exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have. A photo of the front of the house is usually enough for the crew to see the window count and the roofline before anyone drives out. Our crews also handle washing services for homes that need more than the exterior, but on this visit we clean the outside only. We do not do interior and exterior window washing in the same trip, so the price covers exterior glass and the gutters above it. Multi-story buildings take a longer setup than a single floor, so if your house has several floors of glass, say so on the call so the quote reflects it. Window washing and window cleaning services are priced the same way, and a residential and commercial building is quoted by the same stories, window count and reachability, so the crew will tell you which windows are reachable from the ground and which need the pole.
| 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 Glasgow customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on this calendar. In the spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters. In the fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs over winter, and clogged gutters that sit full through the thaw can lead to water damage at the fascia and sills. Dates move with storm and wind seasons, so we book by the weather as much as by the month.
Some houses need a third visit, and we say so after the first one. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those are mineral marks, not dirt. A house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up a film faster than one on a quiet street. A customer with no trees and a single visit each year runs very differently from one on three or four visits under heavy cover, and the crew sets the schedule to what the house actually needs. We do not give do-it-yourself instructions here; the point is to tell you when the job is due.
You will see the sign windows need cleaning as a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the sign gutters need is runoff spilling over the edge in rain. Either one is a reason to call, and we will tell you on the phone which of the two you are seeing.
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 residential properties in Glasgow and the surrounding stretch of Delaware, and the calendar is the same for every address we cover. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give you the number on the phone and confirm a date. Most window cleaners only do the glass, and this crew does the gutters too. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen and the leaves come down, the schedule fills fast, so the earlier you book the easier it is to get the slot you want. The crew calls before it comes, so you know the morning it will be on your street.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and it sends photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before it leaves. We use professional window cleaning methods on every job, with a water-fed pole for the upper floors, purified water so the glass dries clean, and cleaning solutions only where water alone does not lift the film. Customers choose us for cleaning services they can schedule and count on, and that also keeps the outside of the house looking right, which is curb appeal that you can see from the street. We aim to give every window the same attention, and every residential window gets the top floor as much as the ground floor. Each sill is wiped as part of the job. Every job ends with a photo record so you can see what we did before we leave.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the glass in one visit, and they do the gutters first so that nothing from the runs lands on the clean windows.
We do not quote a figure on paper. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you get it by phone or text before anyone is booked.
On residential properties in Glasgow the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks worse outside than in, and that is the part we clean.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, and we tell you the month that fits your house on the first call.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts before we touch the glass, so the runoff from gutters and downspouts is already gone when the windows get their rinse.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks take extra time, and the crew will tell you before it touches them.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior of the glass only, so windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home, and if you live in one of the condos on a shared roofline, tell us on the call so we know which runs are yours. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
