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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew does this work across Pennsylvania every spring and fall, and Bethlehem homeowners book it the same way.
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 window washing and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Bundling both jobs into one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. If you text a photo of the front of the house with your story count, we can give you a firm figure before we schedule anything.
On our jobs, a handful of things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer to reach from the ladder. Oversized picture windows and tall multi-story buildings need a boom or scissor lift instead of a pole. Professional window cleaning on a house like that is still quoted by story count and window count, not by the pane. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years arrive packed with seeds and leaves, and that takes extra time to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another factor, because cleaning will not remove mineral etching and it is quoted separately after the crew sees it. Gutters that overflow for years can lead to water damage on fascia and siding, so we flag any run that is already spilling over. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside the house are not priced here.
We cleaned the gutters and windows on a house in Bethlehem where the stories and window count were the main factors in the quote, and the sprinkler line hitting the glass added a mineral treatment after the first look. You can get the exact number the same way: send your story count, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house. Clean gutters and glass do a lot for curb appeal, which is why many customers book both on one visit.
| 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 residential properties in Bethlehem book our cleaning services twice a year, once in late spring and once in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the seed paste packed into the gutters. In fall the leaf load is what we clear, and storm and wind seasons can move those dates in either direction.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. 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 collects more dust on the glass and the sill than most. We will tell you after the first visit which of those applies to your house, and you can schedule service by call or text.
One of our Bethlehem residential window customers books twice a year with no trees on the lot and is done in one visit each season. Another with heavy tree cover and sprinkler spotting books three or four visits a year. Clean windows look different in low sun, and a haze on every window that only shows up then is the sign the glass needs cleaning. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain.
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 washing services have covered gutters and windows across the Bethlehem area, and the estimate starts with a phone call at (866) 435-6328 or a text giving us your story count and a photo of the house front. Lead time for our window cleaning services varies with the season, so we will give you the first open date when you call. Booking is simple, and during the two busy windows of the year, when spring and fall debris hit at once, our calendar fills faster, so it helps to book early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew works outside and does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know the arrival window. Gutters and downspouts are cleared from the roof down, and the runoff from each run is checked before we move to the glass. We also handle condos and multi-unit buildings, where a single visit can cover several entrances. Our goal is to remove dirt and grime from every window and leave nothing for you to finish.
Yes. Our crew does both on the same visit for residential and commercial customers, so you get one set of people and one invoice. The gutters are cleaned first, then the outside of the glass.
The number comes from the story count and the approximate window count, not a standard figure. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a firm price before scheduling.
On our Bethlehem jobs, the outside carries most of what dulls a window: pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting. Cleaning the inside alone leaves that film on the glass. We rinse the outside glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall. Those visits come after the spring bloom and before the first hard freeze, so the gutters are clear before winter. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep gutters from backing up through the freeze.
Not if the order is right. We do gutters first and glass last, because the grit and black water from a gutter run down the wall and across any window below it. Washing the glass first means washing it twice.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the window job. They are not billed as separate extras on the same visit.
This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. The crew brings its own water and power.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
