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 Lower Makefield Township jobs, most customers book it in the spring and fall, when the leaves and grime are heaviest on the house. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we give you the number before we come.
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.
Window washing is priced from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a bundled visit for both gutters and windows costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our washing services are quoted on the phone, and the number we give you is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Unlike an interior and exterior job, this visit covers the outside of the glass and the gutters only.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the quote: a third story or a steep roof that has to be worked from a boom or scissor lift, oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleared in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Each of these adds time, and we tell you about them before we start.
Our Lower Makefield Township jobs show the pattern. One customer with a two-story house and a single run of gutters under a few trees was quoted by stories and window count, and the crew flushed two blocked downspouts as part of the same visit, which the quote already included. Another house with a sprinkler line hitting the front glass needed the spots noted on the first visit, so the owner knew they would come back without a mineral treatment. Neither customer got a surprise at the end of the job, because the quote was built from the house, not from a guess.
To get your exact number, send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text. Ask for a written estimate if you want the scope on paper before the crew books the day. Regular cleanings keep the load from building up, and a house on a steady schedule is quicker to do.

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 Lower Makefield Township jobs, most customers book the window and gutter work twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. Spring visits catch the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the elbows of the downspouts. Glass with that film sometimes needs stronger cleaning solutions than a rinse, and the crew tells you before it uses them. Fall visits catch the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the gutters after the trees drop.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little from year to year, so we book by what the house looks like on the day, not by the calendar alone. Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters filling up between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the rest of the street. Multi-story buildings need the lift for the upper runs, so they get a longer time slot. The area gets about 48.5 inches of rain a year, and June, July and September are the wettest months, so a gutter that backs up in those months is the one to watch for water damage.
Two sign checks tell you when to call before the scheduled visit. Windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Either one means the last cleaning is no longer holding, and we would rather schedule it early than explain the damage later. Windows inside are not part of this visit, so a dusty sill inside is a separate request. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you whether the next visit should move up.
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.
We cover Lower Makefield Township and the neighborhoods our crew has already worked. Professional window cleaning and gutter work here start with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text, and the estimate follows from that. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the price and the day. To schedule service, call or text and we give you the first open day for your window and gutter job. We work on residential properties, and a mixed residential and commercial building gets a quick look too, so send the stories and a photo and we tell you whether the crew takes it.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, when the calendar fills fastest. If you want a slot in those windows, book early, because the window cleaning services we run are on the same crew schedule and the openings go first. Window cleaners in the area see the same rush, so the earlier you call, the better your odds. Off-season dates are easier to get.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew cleans every window that can be reached from the outside, and clean glass with running gutters does a lot for curb appeal. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way, and we send photos of every run once the job is done. Keep the schedule simple by picking the day that works around your week, and let the crew handle the ladders and the glass.
Yes. The same two-person crew does the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty runoff from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
Both residential properties and condos get a number from the stories and the size of the house, given by phone or text before the visit. We do not quote a figure without knowing the house, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Yes, on most residential window jobs here, the outside carries rain dust, tree sap and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Cleaning the outside of the glass is the part that changes what you see through the window.
On our jobs here, most customers book in the spring after the spring bloom and again in the fall after the leaves come down. If your house has heavy tree cover, we see some customers on a third visit.
No, we clean the gutters and downspouts first and then the glass, so anything that falls from the gutters lands on glass we have not washed yet. Doing it in the other order is why a window cleaner who skips the gutters leaves runoff on the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the exterior glass work when they are reachable from outside, and the crew uses water to remove dirt from them.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do the inside of the windows or pressure washing on this visit, so ask us separately if you need those done.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
