Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Harborcreek jobs, most customers book in the spring and fall, when leaves and grit build up fastest.
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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window cleaning services are quoted that way, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so ask for it before we schedule anything. This quote covers the exterior only, so any interior and exterior work is quoted as its own job.
On the day, the crew finds what actually moves a quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a lift, a high window count or oversized picture windows that take more time on the glass, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before we can clear the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to streak.
Our crew has worked on houses where the exterior glass had not been cleaned in several seasons, and the first visit took longer than the owner expected, mostly because of the grime on the panes. The most useful thing you can send us before we quote is the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text. Those three things let us give you the exact number instead of a guess. We handle exterior window washing as part of our washing services, and our cleanings are scheduled around your roof and your gutters, not a standard package.
| 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.
On our Harborcreek jobs, most customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Pennsylvania, spring visits usually land in late May to June, and our fall visits run November to early December. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep the buildup from getting ahead of the crew.
In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters and downspout elbows. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that settles in the gutters before the first hard freeze, and clogged gutters that freeze full can lead to water damage on the fascia. Across Pennsylvania, storm season brings tropical remnants that can move the dates a little, so we confirm the booking by phone before we come.
Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, often need a third visit. Sprinkler spots come back a day after cleaning, and under heavy trees clogged gutters refill faster than a twice-a-year schedule can keep up with. Multi-story buildings take longer on the pole and the ladder, and July, September and October are the wettest months here, so a gutter that runs full in those rains is worth a look between visits.
You will notice the glass needs cleaning when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low, and you will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a hard rain. If either happens between visits, text us a photo and we will tell you what it is.
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 has cleaned gutters and windows across Harborcreek, and we provide cleaning services on one schedule for both. Our professional window cleaning and gutter work run in one visit, so the crew shows up once. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or text a photo of the house front, and we will come back with a quote and an open window for the visit. How soon we can start depends on the season, so ask about the current lead time when you call.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and it sends you photos of every run and the finished glass before it leaves. For a house with a lot of glass, the crew will tell you ahead of time how many visits it will take. If the building is a mix of residential and commercial space, say so when you call, and we will tell you whether this crew fits the job.
The busiest times of year are the spring and fall windows when leaves and grit are heaviest. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early, because our calendar fills first in those months. Whether you need a single residential window cleaned or a full bundle with gutters, we keep every window on the schedule clear and in order, so the sill and frame get the same attention as the glass. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, which is why the crew wipes the frames and sills too.
Yes. Our crew does both, so one visit covers the gutters and downspouts and the outside of your windows. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so runoff does not end up on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house on residential properties like this one, and we give it by phone or text. We do not guess it from the street. Send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it. Call (866) 435-6328 to get started.
Yes, because the outside is what takes the hit here. Dust, rain spots and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass, and the inside does not carry any of that. Cleaning the outside alone still makes a clear difference, and the water-fed pole lets the crew remove dirt from the upper panes without a ladder.
Most Harborcreek customers book a spring visit and a fall visit. Across Pennsylvania, spring visits usually land in late May to June, and fall visits run from November to early December.
Not when we do it right. Gutters go first, so the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall before anyone touches the glass. If the glass were washed first, someone would have to wash it again before we left.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job. None of that is billed as an extra.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, so windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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. If the property is one of several condos, tell us how many units share the roofline when you call so the quote covers the right gutters.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
