The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has done this work on Carnot-Moon homes for years, and most of our local customers book it for the 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.
We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the same method applies to residential and commercial buildings. The bundle, gutters and exterior windows in one visit, costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Steep roofs and multi-story buildings take longer to work safely. Oversized picture windows and high panes add time. Old clogged gutters, the ones packed with needles and leaves and not touched in years, need more passes. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning solutions or water alone, so we note it on the estimate rather than surprise you later. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
A house that is on a regular cleaning schedule usually needs less time per visit than one that has gone a season without service, and picture windows take a little longer to rinse. Tell us the stories, the rough window count and whether the gutters have been cleaned before, and we can narrow the number down before anyone climbs a ladder.
| 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 the houses we clean here, most of our customers book both jobs twice a year, once in late spring and once in fall. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Those are the regular cleanings most homes need to stay ahead of the build-up, and our cleaning services are scheduled around those two windows. Across Pennsylvania, the spring visit lands in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November.
At each visit we find something different. In late spring the pollen forms a film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as a paste, and the downspout elbows clog first. In fall the leaf load is the problem. A wet leaf mat on a gutter sags the hangers over the winter, and the water that backs up can lead to water damage at the eaves. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we schedule around what the weather has actually done.
Some houses need a third visit. 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 need more attention. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grime on the glass. Our professional window cleaning crew can plan the extra visit for those homes at the start, so it does not come as a surprise.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, or a film that catches the light on the glass. Gutters tell you when they need it too: water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass also keeps the curb appeal of the house up 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 crew has offered window cleaning services and gutter cleaning on residential properties across Carnot-Moon, condos included, and we are glad to schedule service in any neighborhood. Booking is simple: call or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you a written estimate that matches the invoice. For most homes we can book a visit within the lead time we quote on the phone, and we call before we come so you are not waiting on the driveway.
The two busy windows of the year are the late spring and fall visits, when pollen and leaves are at their peak and our calendar fills first. If you want a particular date in those months, ask early. Outside of those windows slots open up sooner.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and every window we clean gets its frame wiped and its sill cleared as part of the same visit. Whether a window is lightly soiled or dirty, we remove dirt from the exterior in the same visit, so the glass you see after we leave matches the number you were quoted. Our window and gutter cleaning service covers the outside of every residential window we can reach safely from the ground or a boom or scissor lift.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two-person crew doing both in one visit. Gutters are cleaned first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the figure before anyone is scheduled.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what dims a window here: pollen in spring, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Those build up on the exterior even when the windows inside look fine from your chair.
Across Pennsylvania, our spring visits land in late May to June and our fall visits in late October to November. Ask us early for those windows, because our calendar fills first then.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. If the glass is done first, runoff from the gutters runs down the wall and across the panes, which is why we keep that order.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are cleaned on the same visit. None of that is billed as an extra.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not do interior and exterior window cleaning on one job, and pressure washing is not part of our washing services for this visit.
No, 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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
