Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book us in the spring and fall, and that schedule lines up with the seed drop and the leaf fall.
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 window cleaning services bundled with gutter work cost less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, because the crew checks the house before it starts. Our washing services include downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping, and none of them is billed as an extra.
On our jobs, the things that change the quote are the same every time: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized panes, clogged 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. Each one adds time to the visit, and the crew sees it from the ladder and tells you before any work starts.
To get a number for your house, text us the count of stories and a photo of the front, or call (866) 435-6328. A customer with a dense lot, heavy grime on the glass and a full run of gutters will often need more time than a similar house with open sightlines, and that difference shows up on the quote. We quote condos the same way, by the window count and the stories above the ground floor. Our crew works through runoff from the roof, the way water carries dirt down the glass and into the sill, and we clear the sill before we move on. We remove dirt from the frame and the screens, not just the pane, because that is where the spots come from after rain. The same approach covers the gutters and downspouts that run down the wall, so the water leaves the house instead of sheeting over the edge.
On a two-story house with a long porch roof, the rear gutter run is the part that most often moves the quote, because a sagging run has to be cleared in sections. Window washing on the front glass often needs a second pass to lift tree film. Those findings set the price before we start, and the number on the invoice matches it. Send us a photo of the front and we will tell you what we see from the ladder.

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 us twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Pennsylvania the spring visit lands in late May to June, and we book residential and commercial jobs on the same two-visit pattern. On our Franklin Park jobs, the fall visit lands in late October to November.
Each visit tells us something different. In the spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters, which is why the window and gutter cleaning is timed for after that drop finishes. In the fall we find the leaf load on the roof and the wet leaf mat in the runs. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a week or two in either direction, and we call before we come.
Some houses need regular cleanings between the two seasonal visits. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, so those customers are on a three to four month cycle. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and those need a mineral treatment, not another cleaning. The crew uses its own cleaning solutions on the glass, and it switches to the mineral treatment only when the spots are etched. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than the rest of the block. For a cleaning schedule that fits your lot, the first visit is the one that tells us which of these apply.
Two signs tell you it is time. Haze on the glass that only shows up when the sun is low means the windows need cleaning. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain means the runs need clearing, unless the cause is a slope problem, in which case we say so. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and this schedule covers the exterior only. Picture windows take longer than sash windows, so the crew allows for them when it books the morning. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories.
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 provides professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning services on residential properties and on some commercial buildings, and we keep the scope tight so every visit is done the same way. Window cleaners on our crew work through the whole city, from the older blocks with narrow lots to the newer streets with wide sightlines, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal on a street-facing house. Multi-story buildings get the same setup, with the crew working from the pole or the ladder depending on the height. Booking starts with a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and the number we give is the number we charge. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we give you the date when we confirm the estimate.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen drop and the fall leaf fall, and the calendar fills quickly in both. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. If your gutters are clogged gutters from a season of leaves, the crew clears them before the glass, so the fall slot is the one to book early. If a run has been overflowing for a season, the crew checks the fascia and the wall for water damage and notes it in the photos. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not clean windows inside the house, so you can leave for the day. We will call before we come, and we send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the truck leaves.
Yes, window and gutter cleaning is one visit on our jobs, and it is the same two people. We do the gutters first and the glass last, which is the order that keeps the clean panes clean.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, so a residential window job on a two-story home is quoted by story count and window count. Send a photo of the front and the story count, and we will give you the number.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up on every window in Franklin Park. On residential properties, interior glass does not pick those up, so the outside is where the dirt is.
Across Pennsylvania, most customers book the spring visit in late May to June. In Franklin Park, the fall visit lands in late October to November, and to schedule service you can call (866) 435-6328.
No, we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first and let the wall drip dry before we touch the glass. Doing it the other way round is how clean windows get dirty again.
Screens are rinsed, the sill is wiped, and tracks are included on the same visit. They are not billed as extras.
No, this visit is exterior only, so we do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
No, 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.
