Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Across Delaware, most of our customers book this bundle in spring and fall, and we work that same order on every house.
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 window and gutter bundle in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows as two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A steep roof or a third story takes longer on the ladder, and multi-story buildings add setup time. Window count and oversized picture windows change the glass time, and a heavy pollen film adds rinsing. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more hauling. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is the last item: cleaning does not remove it, and we say so before we quote for it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Delaware, the houses that cost us the most time are the ones with the most glass and the longest roof runs, so give us the stories and a rough window count when you call (866) 435-6328 or text. A photo of the front of the house helps us see the gutter line and the glass in one picture. Interior and exterior glass are quoted as separate jobs, and the bundle covers exterior only. We use the cleaning solutions we carry in the truck, and the residential and commercial jobs we run follow the same order. If you book regular cleanings, we keep the same count from one visit to the next so the number stays the same.
| 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.
Across Delaware, most of our customers book professional window cleaning and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. Booking the gutters with separate window cleaners means two setups and two trips, so we run both cleaning services on one visit. The spring visit falls in mid to late May across Delaware, and the fall visit runs November to early December.
At the spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and a paste of grit packed in the gutter elbows. In fall we find the wet leaf mat. Across Delaware, the storm season, nor'easters, tropical remnants and summer thunderstorms, can move a gutter run or shift a hanger, and a loose run is where water damage starts at the fascia.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters coming back between visits, because needles and grit pack the downspouts. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that return a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the rest. Multi-story buildings take longer because the crew moves the ladder to a second setup on each side. For those, we suggest adding a visit rather than waiting for the next season. Windows inside are a separate job and are never part of these visits.
On a house with no trees and no sprinkler spotting, one visit a year in fall is usually enough to keep the gutters flowing. You know the windows need it when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. You know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain. Clean glass also keeps the curb appeal of the house steady between visits.
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 cleaning services cover window and gutter cleaning across Middletown, and the crew books them as a single visit wherever the house sits in town. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the exact number and the first open date. Lead time follows our calendar, and we give the date on the first call.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring months and the fall leaf months. If you want a slot in either window, book early rather than waiting for the first frost. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We work residential properties, and we take residential window jobs, condos included, with the gutter work booked on the same visit. Each job gets a single crew, and that crew checks every window and every gutter run before leaving, so the clean windows are confirmed before the truck pulls away. If a pane or a sill needs more than a rinse, the crew photographs it and tells you. Once the schedule is set, we keep the same crew on the same house so the next visit starts from what the last one found.
Yes. Our crew offers window cleaning services and gutter cleaning on one visit, and the same two people do the gutters and the glass. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run onto clean windows.
We do not give a figure on the page. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text. Send us the stories and a rough window count, and the number we give you is the number we charge.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that never reach the inside, and a regular cleaning is the simplest way to remove dirt and grime before it sets. On our jobs in Delaware, the outside glass is where the haze builds first, so it is the part that gives the house its curb appeal.
Across Delaware, most of our customers book in spring, mid to late May, and in fall, November to early December. Those are the two windows when the pollen and the leaves are heaviest on the glass and the gutters.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Runoff from the gutters and downspouts carries leaves and grit down the wall and across any window below it, so the glass has to wait until the gutters and downspouts are flushed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are cleaned where they can be reached from the outside.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside, and we do not offer pressure washing services on this visit, only the outside glass and the gutters. Our washing services cover the panes, frames and sills on the outside of the house.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. The crew works outside and sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
