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 nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. 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. Our crew does this work across Pennsylvania, and most of our Baldwin customers book it in the spring and fall, when the dust and leaves are heaviest.
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 exterior window washing and gutter cleaning 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, so tell us the stories and a rough window count and we will quote it before the crew is scheduled.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means the crew needs a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. Oversized panes and picture windows take longer per pane than a standard residential window. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves take more time to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it and quote the treatment separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the washing services on this visit and are not billed as extras. A request for interior and exterior cleaning is a different job, and it is not part of this quote.
On residential properties in Baldwin, the quote usually comes from a photo of the front of the house and a count of stories. Call (866) 435-6328 or send that by text, and we will tell you the exact number with no surprises once the crew arrives. A house with a lot of grime on the glass can cost a bit more on the first visit, since the crew has to work harder to remove dirt from every pane, and then drop once it is on a steady schedule of regular cleanings.

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 Baldwin customers book both twice a year, in the late spring and the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. The pollen film on south-facing glass is heaviest in the spring, and clogged gutters and the leaf load on the roof build through the fall.
At the spring visit across Pennsylvania, which runs late May to June, we find the pollen film thickest on the south and west faces, and the gutter elbows packed with seed and grit. At the fall visit, late October to November, it is the wet leaf mat and the cleaning solutions that hard water leaves on the glass, plus the grit that washes off the roof. Wind and storm seasons move the dates by a few weeks, and we will call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so those customers book three or four times a year. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a schedule adjustment on the sprinklers more than another cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster, and the runoff from its roof carries more grit onto the glass, so it is often on a shorter cycle too. Work on the windows inside the house is not part of these visits, which cover the outside glass only.
Gutters and downspouts need attention when water sheets over the edge in the rain, because a run left full for a season can lead to water damage at the fascia. Windows need attention when you see a haze only in low sun, usually in the early morning or late afternoon.
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 works across the Baldwin area, and most of our calls come from the neighborhoods nearest the main roads. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, using the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and the cleaning services on that quote cover the gutters and the glass. We give a typical lead time when you call, and in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, our calendar fills quickly, so it is worth booking early. The method on this page is written for houses, not for mixed jobs that combine residential and commercial buildings. Condos and multi-story buildings are quoted the same way as residential properties, by stories and window count.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come. Our window cleaners work with purified water on every window, and we clean every window on the outside of the house, so the job is complete when we leave. Purified water is what lets the crew remove dirt from the glass without leaving streaks. For window cleaning services on the exterior, the schedule service we offer keeps the curb appeal of the house steady between visits.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the work stays in order.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before anything is booked. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the exact figure.
On Baldwin houses the outside carries most of the grime, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside glass gets dirty long before the inside does.
Most of our Baldwin customers book in late spring and in the fall, which is when the dust and leaves are heaviest on the house.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Anything that comes off the roof and the gutters runs down the wall and onto the lower panes if the glass is done first, which is why we do it the other way round.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job. None of that is billed as an extra.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do interior cleaning or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
