Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the roofline lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book spring and fall, which is when dust and leaves build up on both gutters and glass.
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 we quote it by phone or text from those two things. Doing gutters and exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same ones we see on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk safely, oversized panes and picture windows that need more time per pane, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to 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.
Here is one way to get the exact figure before the crew comes, or call (866) 435-6328 and talk it through with us. Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows face the street. A washing services estimate built from that is usually close enough to book a date, and the crew confirms it when they walk the property. Our window washing crews use purified water so the glass dries clean without the film that tap water leaves, which keeps the job from needing a second pass. Our window cleaning services cover the exterior glass, the frames and the sills, and the gutter work runs on the same visit, so the roof, the runoff and the glass all get handled together. Gutters and downspouts get flushed until water runs clear, so the grime that washes down from the roofline does not end up on the glass below. We remove dirt from the frames and sills as we go, not as a separate pass. Most condos on our schedule are set up as one visit with one crew for the whole building, which keeps the cost predictable.
| 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 Pennsylvania most of our customers book gutters and windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Each window and gutter visit catches a different load. In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutter elbows. In fall it is the leaf mat and the wet debris that sags a run under its own weight. The crew matches its cleaning solutions to the frame material, and residential and commercial glass gets the same order of work: gutters first, glass last.
Some properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps feeding needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and that is mineral, not dirt. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a fine grit that shows up on the glass within weeks. On those houses the regular cleanings usually run every three to four months instead of twice a year.
You will know when the windows need it: haze that only shows up when the sun is low, or film on the glass that smears when you wipe it with your hand. The interior and exterior of a window do not collect the same load, and the outside is where the rain dust and haze show up first. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which visit comes next.
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 window cleaners and gutter crews work residential properties in Colonial Park on a regular route, and the estimate is the first step: a phone call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when the leaf load and dust are heaviest, our calendar fills faster. Call (866) 435-6328 early in those months and we will hold a date. Our professional window cleaning crews work on the same schedule as the gutter side, so a window and gutter cleaning booking covers both.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. The windows inside are not part of the visit, because clean gutters and clean outside glass do more for curb appeal than most people expect. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way and can move a car off the driveway if a window faces it. For multi-story buildings the crew sets up the lift or ladder on the site and photographs every run before the truck leaves. Clogged gutters that have sat for a season are the most common reason we see water damage start on fascia and siding, so we like to get them on the calendar before that happens.
Yes. The window and gutter cleaning is done by the same two people in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not washed twice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text a photo of the front and tell us the story count, and we will give you a figure by phone or text.
Yes. The outside of a residential window carries the film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so clean windows on the inside do not stop the outside from hazing over in the spring.
Across Pennsylvania, spring visits run late May to June, and in Colonial Park fall visits fall in late October or November. To schedule service, text or call (866) 435-6328 early in those months, because those are the busiest stretches and booking early keeps the calendar open.
Not if the work runs in order. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves, grit and black water come down before the glass is touched, and every downspout is flushed before anyone starts on the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the same visit, and we do not bill them as separate extras. We clean every window that can be reached from the outside of the house.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing.
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 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.
