Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Most of our Lower Paxton customers book it in spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves are at their worst. Call (866) 435-6328 with your story count and we will tell you the first open date.
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 on the phone is the number we charge. Our washing services are quoted from stories and an approximate window count on residential properties, and when both jobs run in one visit the bundle comes in below booking them separately, which is a saving we show you before work starts. We keep the dollar figures out of this text because the right number depends on your house, so the quickest route is a call to (866) 435-6328 with your stories and rough window count in hand.
What moves a quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means a slower, more careful setup for the window washing, and multi-story buildings of that kind are quoted by the story. A residential window on a standard frame takes less time than oversized picture windows, and a large window count adds time at the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles, leaves and grime, take longer to clear than a run that was done last year. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning will not remove. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a recent job in one of the older neighborhoods of Lower Paxton, the house had three stories at the back, a row of tall windows along one side and a gutter run that had not been opened in several seasons. The quote came from those three things and the crew saw nothing else that changed the number. For the exact figure on your house, send us a text with the number of stories and a rough count of windows, plus a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with it.
| 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.
Most of our Lower Paxton customers book window and gutter work on regular cleanings, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew on one visit makes sense for them. The spring visit clears the pollen film off south-facing glass using purified water and cleaning solutions where the film needs them, wipes the frames to remove dirt before the glass is done, and clears the pollen paste packed in the downspout elbows. The fall visit clears the leaf load before the first hard frost, which is when wet leaves do the most damage to a gutter run. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates for residential and commercial buildings alike, and we will tell you when a storm has changed the picture for your house.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, and downspouts that stay blocked can cause water damage at the foundation. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need the extra visit to keep the glass clear. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames and sills. We see these patterns on our jobs, and after the first visit we tell you which of them your lot actually shows.
You will know windows need cleaning when a haze shows up only when the sun is low, and windows inside the house usually stay clear of it, so the outside is the one to watch. Gutters need cleaning when runoff sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout, which often points to clogged gutters near the outlet. Neither sign can be trusted to wait a whole season, and we would rather see the house early than late.
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 window cleaning services reach houses across Lower Paxton, and we can give a slot once we know the stories and have a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us, and we ask for the number of stories and the rough window count, and we send the estimate in writing. Our typical lead time is set by the calendar, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and our calendar fills fastest then, so an early call helps.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, on a house or on one of the condos in a shared building. Our crew stays outside, so interior and exterior work is never mixed into one visit, and we call before we come, so you know the truck is on the way. Booking professional window cleaning with us works like booking any other trade in the area: a quote, a date, and a photo of every run and every window when the job is done. Unlike window cleaners who stop at the glass, we do the gutters first. Clear gutters and clean glass also help curb appeal on the street side, which is why the front of the house is worth doing right the first time.
Yes. The same two people do both on residential properties, gutters first and glass last, so the falling debris does not reach a clean window.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Our window cleaning services are quoted that way.
On our Lower Paxton residential window jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so the outside is where the grime builds up.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and fall visits, once the pollen and the leaves have come down.
Not with our order of work. The gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed, and the wall is given time to drain so the runoff from the roof does not hit the glass once it is clean.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras.
No. This visit covers the exterior of the glass only, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing on it.
You do not need to be home, whether the glass is on a single house or on one of the condos in a shared building. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
