The same two people who clean your gutters clean the outside of your windows, in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Pennsylvania our crew has run this bundle through the spring and fall, which is when most homes here need it.
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, both jobs together in one visit come in below booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote on the day: a third story or a steep roof we cannot walk, window count, picture windows and oversized panes, gutters not opened in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our cleaning services and not billed as extras. The glass gets purified water and no cleaning solutions, so nothing has to be wiped a second time.
Across Pennsylvania, the houses that run higher on the phone are usually the ones where the crew finds the most in the gutters and the most on the glass, so the quote follows what is actually there. Regular cleanings are quoted off the same stories and window count, so each of the cleanings you book starts from the number you already have. Quotes cover exterior washing services only, so a request for interior and exterior glass needs a separate estimate. To get the exact number, text us the stories and an approximate window count with a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328. The window and gutter cleaning quote comes back the same day, and nothing is added on the ladder.
| 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.
Across Pennsylvania most of our customers book both services twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Our window cleaners see the spring pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutters, and the spring visit falls in late May to June across Pennsylvania, which is the one most houses need. The fall visit falls in late October to November, when the leaf load has turned into a wet mat that sags under the first freeze. Professional window cleaning in the spring brings back the curb appeal a house loses over the winter. Storms and wind move both dates a little, so we book off the house, not the calendar.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means clogged gutters between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Houses near a busy road or active construction also collect more grime on the glass, and multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder, so the visit runs longer. Clogged gutters that sit through a freeze are the usual route to water damage at the fascia here. We see the difference in the photos at each visit, and that is how we decide on the schedule. Windows need attention when haze shows only with the sun low on the glass. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Windows inside stay on your own schedule, since this visit covers exterior glass only.
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 window and gutter jobs across the city as a whole, and the crew works the same way on every one of them. Our window and gutter cleaning services follow one order, gutters first and the clean windows last, so runoff never lands on glass that is already done. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Lead time follows the calendar, and the two busy windows of the year, the late spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, are when our calendar fills first, so an early call helps. We call before we come, and you do not need to be home for exterior work. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm the slot in writing so you know when the crew arrives.
Most of our work is on residential properties, and condos get the same visit as a single house as long as the exterior can be reached from the ground or a safe pole position. We treat every window on the house the same way, from the ground floor to the upper sill, and the crew clears gutters and downspouts on the same visit. The gutter and window cleaning is one visit, one invoice and one set of photos, so there is no second trip to plan around.
Frequently asked questions about our cleaning services and washing services, answered by the crew that does the work.
Do window cleaners also clean gutters, and is it the same crew? Yes. The two-person crew that cleans the glass also clears gutters and downspouts, gutters first and glass last, in one visit.
What does it cost to clean the gutters and windows on a two-story house in Franconia? We do not give a range here. The number for these window cleaning services comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you get it by phone or text before the crew books the day.
Is it worth having the outside of the windows cleaned if the inside stays as is? Yes, because the outside takes the hardest hits from rain dust, pollen and sprinkler spots, and the crew can remove dirt that the inside never sees.
Do you take residential and commercial jobs? Our crew cleans residential homes, which is the residential window and gutter visit this page describes. For a commercial building, call (866) 435-6328 before booking so we can say whether the job fits.
Will dirty gutter water end up on the clean glass? No, because we run gutters first and glass last. Runoff from the gutters only lands on the glass if the glass is washed first, so the order is the reason.
Do you clean screens, sills and tracks, or are those extras? Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included on the exterior side.
Do you clean inside the windows or do pressure washing? No. On this visit we clean exterior glass only, so interior and exterior glass is not in the price. Pressure washing and other washing services are not part of this visit.
Do I need to be home, and what should I do before the crew arrives? You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
