Yes, 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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Clean gutters and downspouts, plus clear glass, do a lot for curb appeal. Most of our Cheltenham customers book it in spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves are at their worst.
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 bundle of window cleaning services and gutter work done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give 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 that number before anything is scheduled.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story, since multi-story buildings are where we bring a boom or scissor lift, or a roof steep enough to need one, a window count with oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Every quote covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is never bundled into it.
On our Cheltenham jobs the window washing and the gutter work usually go onto one invoice, and the difference shows up on the glass. A customer who had regular cleanings on a two-story house with mature trees found the grime built up fastest on the south side, where the sun dried the dust onto the panes. Our crew handled the gutters first, flushed the downspouts, and then took the glass down to clean, so nothing ran back onto the clean windows. Ask for a written estimate with the stories and window count listed, and you will see exactly what the window washing services cover before we come.
| 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 customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring after the trees finish shedding and once in the fall after the leaves are down, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. In the spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed into the gutters. The glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to draw the next round of dust. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and that is when we see the most clogged gutters and the runs that will start to sag under ice.
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. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust fast. On houses like these our crew sees the window and gutter work needed three or four times a year, and we tell you which visits your house needs after the first one. Schedules differ for residential and commercial glass, and this page is about houses.
The sign windows need it is a haze you only notice when the sun gets low. The sign the gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in the rain, which is how water damage starts on the fascia. Either one means it has been too long, and a call to book a date will get it back on schedule.
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 does the gutters and the exterior windows of homes across Cheltenham, and professional window cleaning goes on the same visit as one booking. Booking starts with a quick estimate for our cleaning services by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you are never surprised by a truck in the driveway.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so book early if you want a particular week. Outside those windows we can usually find a slot without a long wait. The house has to be reachable from the outside, and we cover every window we can reach from the ground or the pole, with exterior window cleaners who work in the same visit as the gutter crew.
Once the appointment is set, you get a confirmation and the arrival window. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service the same way you would any other home job, and we will text a photo of the roofline when the crew finishes so you can see the work before the truck leaves.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the same visit. Gutters come first, then the glass, so the dirty runoff does not land on windows we have just cleaned.
We give you the number by phone or text, based on the stories and the size of the house. It is not a fixed figure. Residential properties are priced on stories and size, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Usually yes, because the outside of every residential window carries the dust, the rain residue and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Those are on the exterior glass whatever the inside looks like.
Our Cheltenham customers book in spring after the trees shed and again in fall after the leaves come down. Booking in those months gets you a slot before the calendar fills.
No, because we clear the gutters, flush the downspouts and let the wall dry before we touch the glass. Flushing is there to remove dirt before it can reach the panes, and that order is the reason we do both jobs in one visit with one crew.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, so none of them show up as an extra on the invoice.
Not on this visit. We clean exterior glass only, so windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
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 while the ladders are up and unlock the side gate. Condos get the same stories-and-windows quote, so ask for it before the crew is booked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
