Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows on the same visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by what falls off the roof. Both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. On our Lebanon jobs most customers book this in spring and fall, and across Pennsylvania the same two-person crew runs the same order of work.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and it is set before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that the ladder has to be set with extra care, a lot of oversized panes or picture windows that need more time on the pole, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning will remove. Multi-story buildings are priced by stories, the same way a three-story house is. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and the cleaning solutions and water are included in the number we quote.
Before we give a number, a photo of the front of the house and a count of the stories is usually enough to tell us what the job needs. Each residential window gets counted on the call, so the count you give us is the count we price. If the house has regular cleanings on a schedule, the next visit is usually quoted lower because the gutters are already clear, and that is worth asking about when you call. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and the quote here covers the exterior only. Pollen-heavy springs can add time on the glass, and we say so before the visit. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number before anything is booked. For residential and commercial glass, ask on the same call. We will also tell you if the outside of the windows is the only part that needs doing, so you pay for the work the house actually needs and nothing it does not.

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 gutter and window cleaning twice a year, with the spring visit falling in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. In Lebanon that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. Our spring visit looks for pollen on the south-facing glass and sap and tree litter packed into the elbows of the downspouts, while the fall visit clears the clogged gutters before the first hard freeze. Plenty of window cleaners skip the gutters, so the clogged gutters stay full for the next storm, and our cleaning services cover both in one visit.
Across Pennsylvania, tropical remnants move the calendar more than the season does. A late storm can drop a leaf mat that turns a May visit into a clean-up, and wind that comes through in the fall can push the schedule a week either way. A gutter that backs up in that weather can also let water damage reach the fascia, so we would rather move the date than skip the run. We book the date when the forecast is clear enough to commit to.
Some houses need a third visit, and we see the same cases every year: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves the spots that come back a day later, or a house close to a busy road or active construction, where dust settles on the glass faster than it does elsewhere. On multi-story buildings the upper glass is done from a pole, and the third visit is booked only when the crew has seen the need. On those houses the crew comes back in mid-summer and tells you what it saw.
You will see when the windows need cleaning before we do: a haze that only shows when the sun is low in the evening, and that haze is what pulls down the curb appeal first. The windows inside can look fine while the outside has already hazed over, so the outside is what gets booked. Gutters tell you the same way, when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout. Professional window cleaning on the glass and a gutter run on the same visit catches both before the haze or the overflow gets worse.
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 starts with a phone call or a text. To schedule service, tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a quote on the spot, along with the earliest date that can hold a slot. Lead time is listed on the booking page for the current season, and the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, are when the calendar fills first, so the sooner you call the better the odds of getting the date you want.
We clean the outside of every window that is reachable from the ground or a lift, and we do the upper floors from a pole so no one is leaning a ladder on the siding. Each residential window is wiped around the frame and along the sill on the same visit, so the window and gutter cleaning is done with the same crew and no second trip. Once the gutters are clear, the clean windows are the last thing on the house, so runoff does not reach them. Our crew calls before it comes, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our work in Lebanon covers the residential properties we are asked for, from single-family houses to smaller multi-unit buildings, and we keep a record of every window and every run we clean so the next visit starts from the same information.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both, in one visit, as part of our washing services. The gutters and downspouts are cleaned first, and the glass is cleaned after, so the runoff from the roof does not end up on clean windows.
Cost is one of the frequently asked questions, and the number comes from the stories and the size of the house. You can get it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with a photo of the front of the house.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the spring dust, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Clean windows inside still look hazed from the outside when the grime on the exterior is left alone.
Across Pennsylvania the spring visit falls in late May to June, and in Lebanon the fall visit falls in late October to November. Those are the two windows when the leaves and the tree litter are heaviest on the house, and the calendar fills first.
Not on our jobs, because we clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, then give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before the glass is touched. If the glass is washed first, the grit from the roof runs down the same wall and across it, and we have to remove dirt twice.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are done as part of the job. Tracks are cleaned on request during the visit and are not billed as a separate extra.
The visit covers exterior glass only, because interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. If you need either, tell us when you book and we will say whether our crew can take it that day. If you live in one of the condos on a shared lot, mention it on the call, since the gutter runs and the glass may belong to a shared building.
No, you do not need to be home, because our crew works outside and does not come inside. 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.
