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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Most of our Lower Gwynedd customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, when the buildup is heaviest.
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 number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. We build the quote from stories, the approximate window count and what is sitting in the gutters, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Glass is done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and the quote covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior work is priced on its own.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a window count that includes oversized picture windows, clogged gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles, leaves and pollen, gutter guards we have to lift and reseat, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Hard-water spotting needs a separate treatment, and we flag it on the visit rather than surprise you with it.
Our crew works from the front of the house out. Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories, and we can usually narrow the number before anyone climbs a ladder. Residential and commercial jobs are both priced this way. A residential window job follows the same rule, with the approach set by the building. For a homeowner the most useful thing you can send is the window count from the front and the side of the house, plus a note on whether the gutters have been cleared in the last year. That is enough for us to quote the cleanings and the glass without a second visit to measure.
| 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.
Regular cleanings suit most Lower Gwynedd homes twice a year. Across Pennsylvania the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and the fall visit in late October or November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the outside of the house.
In late spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and sticky grit packed into the gutters and elbows. By late fall it is the leaf mat, wet and heavy, sitting in the runs and on the sills. Storms and wind seasons can shift those dates by a few weeks, so we call before we come rather than working off a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit as we see it. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction picks up grime faster than a quiet street. Multi-story buildings keep the same schedule but need more ladder time per visit. On those houses we suggest three or four visits a year, and we say so up front.
Watch for two signs. The first is a haze on the glass you only notice when the sun is low, which is usually the first sign windows need it. The second is water sheeting over the edge of a gutter during rain, which tells you the gutter is full, not that it needs more time. Clogged gutters cause that, and left alone they lead to water damage on the fascia. Storm runoff from the roof carries grit onto the lower glass, and July through September is when it comes hardest. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, so once you see either sign, book a visit.
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 offers professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning on residential properties throughout Lower Gwynedd, and we ask for the same details at each home so the estimate is accurate. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. That is the fastest way to schedule service, and from there we give you a window and gutter cleaning quote and set a slot. Lead time varies with the season, so during the two busy windows of the year, when the buildup on glass and gutters is at its worst, our calendar fills and the first open date is later. Book early in those months and you get the day you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of the finished runs and every window once the job is done. If something cannot be reached safely from the ladder or the lift, we say so rather than guess. For a boom or scissor lift on a taller house, we confirm the access point during the call. Condos are quoted the same way once we know the stories and the window count. We clean clean windows and gutters on the outside, and we make sure the sill is wiped on every window we touch.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing both together means one setup and one trip.
The number comes from stories and window count. Text us a photo of the front of the house and the stories, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the number before we book.
On the outside, grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up fast here, so the outside glass collects more than the inside. Cleaning the outside alone is a normal job for us.
Most of our Lower Gwynedd customers book in late spring and again in late fall, when the buildup is heaviest. Book early in those months, because the calendar fills.
Not if the order is right. We do the gutters first and flush the downspouts, give the wall a few minutes to drip, and only then clean the glass. That way the runoff from the gutters never reaches a clean pane, and the crew can remove dirt from the runs before a single pane gets wet.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are wiped on the same visit, and we do not bill them as extras.
Our washing services stay exterior only on this visit. We do not do the windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing here.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, 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.
