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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book it for spring and fall, and we have a crew that works those months every year. Text a photo of the front of the house or call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the number we quote 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.
The direct answer is this: we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window cleaning separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and picture windows take more care to clear without streaking. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down heavier, and gutters packed with needles and leaves are slower to clear than light runs. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run underneath. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that no cleaning removes, and we say so before we start. Our crew brings its own cleaning solutions and purified water, so nothing is needed from the house. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Lower Burrell job the single biggest variable is how long the gutters have gone without attention. Regular cleanings keep the load light, so the next visit is quicker than the first one on a house that has been left alone. Get the stories and an approximate window count to us by text, plus a photo of the front of the house, and the number comes back before you commit to anything. Say the number is a fair one for what we find up top, and if the first run turns out heavier than the photo suggested, we tell you before we go on. That way the price you hear is the one on the invoice, and the crew is not working out a second number on the ladder.
Booking window and gutter cleaning as one bundle is also simpler than two separate visits. One crew, one setup per side of the house, one set of photos sent to you when we leave. If you have a little pollen in the gutters and a film on the south-facing glass, the same visit handles both, and our crew can plan the order around the wind and the rain for that day. Owners of older homes with picture windows and interior and exterior glass to consider sometimes ask about the inside too; we do not do interior glass on this visit, and we will say so on the phone before the day comes.
Our crew has worked homes around Lower Burrell where the price moved for reasons that are easy to see from the ground. One house with a steep rear roof and heavy needle load took longer in the back gutters than the front, and the quote reflected the extra time. The same crew cleared a run of lighter gutters on a neighboring house in a single pass. The difference is not a discount or a markup. It is what is in the gutters and how far up it sits, and we look at both before quoting.
| 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 our cleaning services for both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and in fall, and one crew in one visit makes sense for that calendar.
At each visit we find the same things. In spring there is a pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the gutter and holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons move the exact dates, so we plan professional window cleaning and gutter work around the forecast rather than a fixed calendar day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters are the usual result. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later, and multi-story buildings and houses close to a busy road or active construction pick up dust faster than the average. Gutters that overflow in heavy rain can also point to water damage at the fascia, so we check the downspouts on every visit. We will tell you on the first visit which of those applies to your house.
Here is the pattern our crew sees on the two extremes. One customer with no trees near the roof is on twice a year and the gutters stay clear between visits. Another customer on a lot under heavy trees is on three or four visits a year, with downspout checks between cleanings. Your schedule should follow what your lot does, not a generic recommendation.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and you will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign is a good reason to call us for a visit. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal, which is a fair reason to book the spring visit. We clean the outside of the glass only, so a haze on the windows inside the house is outside what this visit covers.
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 gutters and exterior windows around Lower Burrell on a regular route, and we look at the neighborhoods we already know before we add a new address. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a number on the spot. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo. Lead time depends on the season, and the calendar fills quickest in the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves are heaviest on the houses we already clean. Window and gutter cleaning booked as one visit uses one slot on the calendar instead of two, so if you want a slot in those months, it is worth booking early.
We call before we come, so nobody arrives at a closed gate or a driveway full of cars. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew stays outside and does not come inside the house. If your schedule changes, call the same number and we move the visit without charging a fee.
Residential properties get the same crew and the same order of work as any other house on the route. Each residential window is done from the pole, and the sill under every window gets wiped before the crew moves on. We handle residential and commercial work alike, and where a commercial owner or manager wants the glass and the gutters done in one visit, we book it the same way. The point of booking with us is simple: one estimate, one schedule, and clean windows and clear gutters on the day we agree.
Yes, our window cleaning services and the gutter work are done by the same two people in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and grime from the gutters never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text before any work is booked. The same goes for condos: tell us how many floors the building has when you call.
Yes, because the outside carries pollen, rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots here, and those do not show up on the inside of the glass. We clean the exterior glass to remove dirt, and the inside stays as you keep it.
Most of our customers here book for spring and fall, and that is when we see the most pollen and leaves on the houses we clean.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff from the leaves, grit and black water comes off before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included in the same visit, and gutters and downspouts are cleared before the glass.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. Our washing services stop at the outside of the glass, so we do not clean inside the windows or pressure wash the house 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
