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 the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. In Pennsylvania as a whole, most of the homes we clean book in spring and fall, and our Cumru customers follow the same pattern, so the calendar fills before the busy windows arrive.
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.

On our jobs, a handful of things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof changes how the crew works the ladder. Window count and oversized panes change the glass time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a mineral treatment that cleaning alone will not remove. Cleaning the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job, and none of it is billed as an extra.
In Pennsylvania as a whole, the houses we see with the highest quotes are the ones that have skipped a few seasons of gutter work. Where a house has been on the same schedule for years, the number tends to hold steady from one visit to the next. Our crew works houses, not multi-story buildings, so anything larger than a house is quoted separately. Getting an exact number is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will send a written estimate before a slot is booked. Anything beyond the standard scope is photographed and quoted before the crew touches it. Ask for the written estimate, and we will hold the price to it.
Picture windows, the big single panes that run floor to ceiling, take more time on the glass than a standard double-hung sash, and we quote them separately so you see the difference before work starts. Regular cleanings keep the job predictable, and the interior and exterior of a window are two separate tasks, which is why we only do the exterior on this visit. Residential and commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis, by stories and glass area, and a cleanings plan lets you lock in the rate for the year. Professional window cleaning is set before the ladder goes up, so the number you hear is the number you pay.
The pollen season and the solution we use on glass both shift the time on site, so a quote made in a heavy spring month may run a little longer than one made in winter. Our cleaning solutions are purified water and a mild detergent, rinsed off and left to dry without residue. The price covers what it takes to remove dirt from glass, frames and sills in one visit. If the home is one of several condos on a shared roof, tell us when you call so we can check the shared gutter run before quoting. If a quote changes after the crew sees the house, the crew calls before continuing. The crew does not start on a price that has changed without you knowing first.

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.
On our Cumru jobs most customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Clean glass and gutters also help curb appeal, and booking both means one trip instead of a gutter visit and a separate call to window cleaners.
Each visit tells us something different. In spring, a fine yellow-green film sits on south-facing glass and seed fluff packs the gutters and elbows. In fall, the leaf load comes down in wet mats that hold water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we look at the house before setting the next booking. On the glass, the grime we remove is mostly dust, grit and road film, and it is fastest to remove before it bakes in.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between visits, and we see clogged gutters on those houses more often than on open lots. A gutter that overflows for a season can send water behind the fascia and cause water damage. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves mineral spots that come back a day after cleaning, and that is a sign to adjust the sprinkler, not to call again. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more runoff and more road grime on the lower panes.
Here is how two Cumru customers run their schedules. One has no trees over the roof and books spring and fall, and that is all the gutters and glass need. The other has trees on two sides and books every three to four months, and the gutters stay clear because they are checked on each visit. If you are not sure which pattern fits your house, the first visit will tell us, and we will say so.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, or film on the glass that the rain does not wash away. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout. Either one is a reason to call.
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 residential properties across Cumru, and the window and gutter cleaning in one visit covers every window on the outside of the house, from the first floor to the top of the gable. Each residential window is checked from the outside, so nothing is missed. We schedule service by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm a window with the crew. Our window and gutter washing services run on that same booking.
Lead time varies with the season and the crew's schedule, and we will give you the actual date when you book. In Pennsylvania as a whole, the busiest windows are late May through June and late October through November, when our calendar fills fastest. Booking early in those months gets the slot you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew calls before they come, so you know when to expect them, and they clean the outside of every window and gutter on the schedule without coming inside. On the visit, the sill gets wiped and the frame gets rinsed, so the clean windows stay clean longer.
Yes. The same two-person crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters washes onto the windows afterward.
We quote it by phone or text from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give is the number we charge.
Yes. The outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and an interior cleaning does not remove dirt from the outside of the glass.
In Pennsylvania as a whole, late May to June and late October to November are the busiest booking months, so book early in those windows.
No. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the runoff is cleared before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job, since that is where the grime sits, and none of it is billed as an extra.
We clean the exterior only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. Interior glass and pressure washing are not part of the job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway and 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.
