Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the 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 in one visit costs less than booking them separately. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book it in the spring and the fall, and we do the same on our East Hempfield Township jobs.
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 number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Window washing and gutter work are priced together, so one quote covers both washing services. Doing the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, because one setup and one crew cover both.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder, and multi-story buildings add setup time on every side. A high count of window panes or oversized picture windows adds time on the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more hands and more haul-off. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate mineral job that no regular cleaning removes, so we flag it before we quote it. Grime on the sills and frames is wiped as part of the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our East Hempfield Township jobs, the quotes that surprise people are usually the ones where the gutters have not been opened for a long time, because the first clearing takes the most time. We photograph each run before we start so you can see what was in there. If you are comparing regular cleanings to a one-time job, know that interior and exterior glass are not the same service: this quote covers the exterior only. If you want the exact number, send us the count of stories and a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text. That is enough for us to give you a figure before the crew is on the truck.
| 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.
Most of our customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Pennsylvania the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in October to early November. If a building is residential and commercial, tell us when you book so the crew can plan the ladder work.
What we find in the spring is the pollen film on south-facing glass and a paste of pollen in the gutters, and the downspout elbows get packed with seed. In the fall it is the leaf load, which turns into a wet mat that holds water against the fascia. Cleaning solutions are only used on the spots the water does not lift. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a little, and we would rather come in after the storm than before it.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit leave clogged gutters and packed downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames. Gutters that run over between visits can send water against the wall and cause water damage at the fascia, and multi-story buildings are harder to reach from the ground, so those are the houses we talk to about adding a visit.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, text us a photo and we will tell you what it is. Windows inside are not part of this visit, so a haze on the inside glass needs a different job.
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 book a slot by phone or text at (866) 435-6328, and the first step is the estimate. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you a time window. Our cleaning services run as one booking, with one crew for both the window cleaning services and the gutter work. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when the spring and leaf loads peak, our calendar fills faster, so it pays to book early.
Our crew has cleaned houses and other residential properties across the township, and when you call we will tell you which neighborhoods we have already worked in. We use the same booking process for every job: the estimate, the time window, and a call from the crew before they come. The call matters because it gives you a chance to move a car or tell us about a gate.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. If you want a cleaning on a different schedule, tell us when you book and we will set it up. Our professional window cleaning is done with a water-fed pole, so most of the work stays outside, and we will schedule service around your calendar where we can. We check every window for reach before the visit, so the crew knows which panes need the pole. Clean glass and gutters that run clear add to curb appeal, which is most of what people notice from the street.
Yes, it is the same two people. We are a gutter company with our own crews, so the crew that cleans the glass is the crew that clears the gutters. Doing both in one visit means one setup and one trip.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us the count of stories and a photo of the front, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the number before anyone is on a ladder.
Usually the outside is where the dirt is. On our jobs we see a film of spring dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots on the outside glass, which the inside cleaning never reaches. Outside glass is where the residential window problems show up first, and it is the glass we work to remove dirt from on this visit.
Our customers here book in the spring and the fall. Across Pennsylvania the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in October to early November, so those are the windows we keep open.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When we clear gutters and downspouts, the leaves and the runoff come down the wall and across the window below, so we rinse the wall and wait before we touch the glass.
Screens are taken down, rinsed by hand and put back, and sills are wiped as part of the job. None of that is billed as an extra. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and condos with the same screens and sills get the same list.
Exterior only on this visit. Windows inside are not part of the job, so we do not clean the interior and exterior glass together. We do not pressure wash on this visit, so the work stays on the outside glass and the gutters.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
