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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Our crew has been doing this work on Emmaus homes through the spring and fall seasons, and it is the same order of work every time.
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 the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew calls it from those details, so you know the figure before the truck comes out. The prices on this page cover a single house, not a residential and commercial rate.
On the day, the crew finds a few things that move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer. A large count of windows, or oversized picture windows, adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more clearing. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, and cleaning does not remove it. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions and purified water come with the quote, so there is no supply line on the invoice. Our quote covers the exterior only, so if you are asking about interior and exterior work, the number here does not include the inside glass.
Our crew does the work on Emmaus homes with the same process each time. To get the exact number, text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote from that. Cleaning services like this are priced per house, so the photo tells us most of what we need before we come out. Regular cleanings are quoted from the same details, so a repeat visit starts from the same number.
| 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 here book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on these homes. The visits run on the same calendar because the gutters and the glass pick up the same season. Clean glass and clear runs keep curb appeal up from the street, and windows inside the house are not part of this visit.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In the spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. The window cleaners on our crew see the worst of it in spring. In the fall, the leaf load is the main problem, and wind seasons move the dates a little. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road can each call for a third visit. Those are the spots that come back a day after cleaning.
Professional window cleaning on a schedule keeps the glass from building up haze, and it keeps clogged gutters from pushing water behind the fascia. Older houses, condos and multi-story buildings show water damage sooner when the runs go uncleaned, so the sign to watch for is water sheeting over the edge in rain.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze or grime you only notice with the sun low. Gutters need cleaning when runoff runs over the edge instead of into the downspout. Cleaning services scheduled twice a year cover most homes, and our crew will tell you after the first visit if your lot needs more.
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.
Booking our washing services is simple. Call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate and a date. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, late spring and fall, our calendar fills faster, so it helps to call early. We always call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We provide residential window and gutter cleaning for homeowners across Emmaus, and we also clean windows on residential properties, including every window on the outside of the house. A residential window is the same job on a small ranch as on a two-story colonial. Each visit includes the sill and the frame, so the crew can remove dirt from every edge, not just the glass.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo, and we will confirm the slot in writing before the crew is on the way.
Yes, it is the same crew. Our washing services cover the gutters and the glass in one visit, and the window cleaners who do the glass are the people who clear the gutters. The work runs gutters first, glass last. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of the runs and the glass before the truck leaves.
The cost on a two-story house comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give the figure by phone or text. Send the stories and a photo, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the number.
Outside glass matters even if the inside is clean, because pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior. On Emmaus homes the outside collects the most grime.
Our customers here usually book in the fall, from late October to November, when the leaves are at their heaviest. Condos are a different job from a single house, so a condo owner should call before booking.
Gutters go first because clearing the gutters and downspouts sends leaves and black water down the wall and across any window below it. Dirty runoff on clean glass would mean washing it again, so we do the glass last.
Yes, screens, sills and tracks are included, and we rinse screens and wipe sills as part of the job. Downspouts are flushed as well, which helps remove dirt before it reaches the glass.
We clean the outside of the windows on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows, and we do not do pressure washing, so the crew sticks to exterior glass and gutters.
You do not need to be home. Before the crew arrives, turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
