Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Whitehall jobs, most customers book this in spring and fall.
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 number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing the gutter cleaning and the window work in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job, and none of it is billed as an extra.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it, a window count with oversized panes, and gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning alone. Those show up when the crew is on the ladder, so we photograph them and tell you before anything changes.
Our crew handles a window and gutter cleaning job as one visit, which is why the approximate stories and window count are the two numbers we ask for. Send a photo of the front of the house by text and we can usually tell from that. Houses with picture windows take a little longer on the glass, and that is factored into the quote before the day.
Cleaning solutions for the glass are our own, and we use purified water so the panes dry without streaks. The pollen that builds in the gutters in late spring is a different job from the leaf load in fall, and we quote it for what is actually there. Residential and commercial buildings are priced on the same basis here, by stories and size, and the number you get is the number we charge.
Because most customers ask about the cost of cleanings across the year, we tell them plainly: the first visit sets the baseline, and regular cleanings after that are quoted from what the first visit found. We do not guess at a number before we have seen the building.
| 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 Whitehall customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. On that schedule, window cleaning services keep the gutters clear before the spring drop and before the leaves come down.
In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and a packed paste in the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we have seen runs sag under the weight of ice by winter. Storms and wind seasons move these dates, so we book by what the house needs rather than by the calendar alone.
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 dust faster than the rest, so we remove dirt from the frames on every visit. Our window cleaners flag these on the first visit so the schedule fits the house.
On a professional window cleaning visit we look at the windows inside the frame as well, checking seals and sills, though we do not clean inside the glass on this visit. Curb appeal is the reason most people call, but the gutters are what protect the window frames from water, so the two stay on one schedule.
Two signs tell you it is time. Windows need it when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain, because that usually means clogged gutters that are backing up. Left alone, that runoff is where water damage starts.
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.
Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, tell us the number of stories, and we give you a window and gutter cleaning estimate. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Lead time changes with the season, and in the two busy windows of the year, when the spring and leaf loads come in, our calendar fills faster. Book early in those months if you want a specific date. Each residential window and each residential property is scheduled by the building, not by the hour, and commercial buildings are scheduled the same way.
Our crew gets to every window on the outside of the house, including the sill and the frame, so you get clean windows on every side, and we give you a photo of every run once the job is done. Owners of multi-story buildings get the same treatment, one crew working the full height. Ask for the whole job and we will confirm what we can reach on that visit.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters never lands on the windows we have just finished.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. Our washing services are priced by stories and size, and you get the number by phone or text at (866) 435-6328 before any work starts.
On our Whitehall jobs the outside carries most of the grime: rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and a crew can remove dirt from the glass in one visit. The inside can stay as it is, and the outside still changes how the house looks from the street.
Our customers here most often book in late spring and in fall, once the spring drop and the leaf drop are done. Owners of condos and single-family homes both book on that rhythm, and booking before those windows fill is the surest way to get the date you want.
Not when we run the job in order. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then touch the glass, so nothing runs back across a finished pane.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and the tracks are included in the same visit. None of that shows up as a separate line on the invoice.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only. We price interior and exterior work separately, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
