Yes, the same two window cleaners clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Pennsylvania we have found that most of our Coolbaugh customers book it in spring and fall, which is why one crew makes sense here. Every quote we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for your number.
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 window washing booked with gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than booking them separately. Our washing services are quoted the same way on every house. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof that has to be worked from a boom or scissor lift takes longer. A residential window with a standard sash is the baseline for the quote, and a window count with oversized panes or picture windows takes longer than the same count of standard sashes. Years of grime on the sills and tracks adds time, and gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more time to clear before the flush. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, so the quote covers the exterior only. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because it is mineral etching that no cleaning removes; we note it in the report so you know what is left.
On a recent Coolbaugh job the quote moved because the front of the house had a steep pitch and a row of large windows that needed the lift, and the gutters had not been opened in several seasons. The number we gave by text before the visit was the number we billed. To get your exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have. We can usually give you the figure the same day, and then the crew arrives on the date you pick.
| 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, the spring visit runs late May to June and the fall visit runs October to early November, which is why one crew in one visit fits the calendar. Regular cleanings twice a year fit that rhythm for most houses, and the crew books gutters and exterior windows at both visits.
In the spring visit, pollen is the main thing we find. There is a pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters and downspout elbows. Pollen rinses off with purified water, so no harsh cleaning solutions are needed on the glass. In the fall visit the leaf load is the job. Coolbaugh gets about 41.6 inches of snow a year, mostly from November through March, so clogged gutters left through winter hold a wet mat against the fascia, and that is how water damage starts. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates by a few weeks, so we book around the forecast rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts 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 more dust on the frame than a quiet street. Multi-story buildings take longer than a two-story house because more of the glass needs the lift. On those houses we suggest a third visit, and we say so after the first job, not before.
You can tell the windows need it when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need it when runoff sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout.
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.
We clean gutters and exterior glass across Coolbaugh, and the crew works the same way on every street. Our cleaning services cover residential properties, and the window cleaning services we book reach every window the crew can get to safely from the ground or a lift. Booking starts with a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us. We book a date, and the crew calls before they come, so nobody has to wait at the curb for a van that is running late.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, which is when the calendar fills. If you want a slot in those months, it is worth asking early. The same order of work applies to residential and commercial buildings. Outside those windows lead time is shorter, and the lead time we quote for your address is the one we keep to.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and before the visit you only need to turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. You get a text with photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the crew leaves. A professional window cleaning visit should leave the curb appeal of the house better than it arrived, and that is the standard we book to.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the wash water does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and a residential window with a standard sash is the baseline we price from. Condos are quoted the same way. Text us a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the figure before anyone is booked.
On our Coolbaugh jobs the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film, rain dust that dries on the frame, and sprinkler spots that stay on the glass. Our visit covers the outside only, so windows inside are not touched, and interior and exterior glass are different jobs.
Across Pennsylvania the spring visit runs late May to June and the fall visit runs October to early November, and regular cleanings fit those two windows.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. The leaves, grit and black runoff from the gutters come down the wall, and washing the glass before that would mean washing it twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, which helps remove dirt that would otherwise wash back down the glass. Tracks that are packed with grit are included unless the quote says otherwise.
We do not clean windows inside on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
