Yes, the same two people 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 jobs together costs less than two separate trips. On our Erie jobs most customers book it for the spring and fall visits, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
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.
Our washing services are priced by phone or text from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice. Both jobs in one visit cost less than booking the gutters and the windows separately, and the bundle figure is shown on your estimate. The glass is done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so there is no soap left to streak. Work on the interior and exterior glass is two different jobs, and this quote covers the exterior only. The same count applies to a residential and commercial building.
On our Erie jobs the same few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof changes the setup, and gutters and downspouts on that kind of house take more time to reach. Oversized picture windows and a large window count take longer than a standard run. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with pollen paste and leaf grit, take more time to clear than a gutter cleaned last season. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are priced in as well. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate question, because no cleaning removes it, and we tell you about it on the visit. Downspout flushing clears the runoff, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job too, none of it billed as an extra.
To get the exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories visible and a rough count of windows on the outside. The crew will tell you on the phone whether the gutters need one pass or two. Regular cleanings are cheaper per visit than a first deep clean, so a house on a yearly schedule usually pays less over time than one that goes years without.

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 Erie customers book both jobs twice a year, once after the spring pollen drop and once after the last leaves fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Pennsylvania, spring visits usually land in late May to June, and fall visits run from November to early December. Before the spring visit, a film of grime sits on the south-facing glass and the paste fills the downspout elbows. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sit in the gutters and downspouts from October into December.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we book by what the house looks like rather than by a fixed day. Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and a clogged downspout that backs up in a freeze can cause water damage at the soffit. 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 a film faster than one on a quiet street. Our customers with a lot of cover book more often, and most of them end up on three or four visits a year.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low, and it is usually the outside glass, not the windows inside, that carries it. You will know the gutters need it when clogged gutters sheet water over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Professional window cleaning on a regular schedule keeps the glass from building up, and window cleaners on our crew will tell you on the first visit which schedule your house actually needs.
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 cleans the outside of residential window glass and gutters across Erie, from the lakefront blocks to the older streets near the center of town. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we come back with an estimate and a date to schedule service. Most estimates come back the same day, and the lead time for an open slot is shown when you book.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring rush and the fall leaf drop. During those weeks our calendar fills, so if you want a particular date, book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and the only thing we ask is that the side gate is open and the ladders have a clear path. We run window and gutter cleaning on residential properties, condos, and the upper floors of multi-story buildings, and every window on the job gets the same attention, down to the sill, with the crew removing dirt from the frames as well as the glass. Keeping clean windows does a lot for curb appeal, and that is the part a neighbor sees first.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so grime from the gutters never lands on clean windows.
We do not give a figure in writing without seeing the house. Our washing services are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and you get the figure by phone or text.
On our Erie jobs the outside carries most of what dims the glass: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. The inside can stay as it is, but the outside is where the haze comes from.
Our customers here, including owners of condos, book in the spring and in the fall, and the fall window usually runs from November to early December.
Not if we do it in order. Gutters first, glass last, because the runoff from a gutter run carries grit down the wall and across any window below it.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned to remove dirt as part of the visit, and none of it is billed separately.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the glass only, and we do not clean the windows inside or do pressure washing.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
