Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job 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 the homeowners who book us do it in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, and our East Lampeter jobs follow the same pattern.
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 in one visit costs less than booking window cleaning services and gutter work as two separate jobs. 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 quote the job from there.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are the same ones the crew sees from the ladder: a third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Window washing above the second floor takes longer, and that time is priced in. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Pennsylvania, the first thing we ask for is a photo of the front of the house sent by text, along with the stories and a rough window count. From those we can give you an exact number without a site visit in most cases. Our washing services are exterior only, so the quote never includes interior and exterior work we do not do on this visit. Getting a good estimate is simpler than most people expect, and our regular cleanings are scheduled around the same calendar so the price stays predictable from one visit to the next.
| 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.
Our fall visits in East Lampeter run late October to November, when the leaf load is at its heaviest. Across Pennsylvania the spring visits run late May to June, so one crew doing both the gutters and the glass fits either window. We work on residential and commercial buildings, but this calendar is for homes. The exact timing moves with the weather.
In the spring the pollen film is thickest on south-facing glass, and the sticky residue packs the downspout elbows. In the fall the leaf load is the problem, a wet mat that sits in clogged gutters and sags under the first freezes. Freeze risk is real here, so water left in a blocked run can split a downspout. Clogged gutters that overflow for a season can also lead to water damage at the fascia and foundation, which is one more reason the gutters go first. Dust film rinses off with water, but hard-water spotting needs a different set of cleaning solutions, which is why we check spots on the visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a multi-story building next to the house usually means a third visit, because those are the cases where the glass and the gutters both need attention again before the next season.
A window needs cleaning when you notice a haze you only see when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either one, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what the next visit should look like.
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 works across East Lampeter, and when you call or text we start by asking for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. From that we give you an estimate and a booking window, and we confirm the first open day on the phone. Our cleaning services reach every window on the outside that can be reached safely, and the window cleaners on the crew wipe each sill before they move on. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring visit window and the fall leaf drop, so if you want a specific week, the sooner you schedule service the more likely we can hold it. We bring the same professional window cleaning and gutter equipment to every job, and the crew is the same two people who do the gutters first and the glass last. Clean windows and clear gutters both add to curb appeal, and that is the reason most people book the bundle.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and the gutters are always done first so that dirty runoff does not land on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Residential properties and condos are quoted the same way, from the photo and the window count, not from a sentence in a blog post.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime, road film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the outside is where the visible haze comes from. Exterior cleaning is how we remove dirt from the glass, and interior glass is a separate job we do not do on this visit.
Fall visits in East Lampeter run late October to November, after the leaves come down. Across Pennsylvania spring visits run late May to June.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. Washing the windows before the gutters means the leaves and grit come down the wall and onto the panes you just cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the exterior.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. A residential window gets the same exterior treatment, and we do not do windows inside or pressure washing as part of the job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
