Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so nothing that falls off the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. On our Lower Salford jobs, most customers book in spring and fall, when the pollen and leaf load are 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.
We price residential and commercial buildings by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A large window count or oversized panes take more time on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years are packed with needles and leaves, so the runoff spills over the edge in every rain, and gutter guards have to be lifted before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and the glass is done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions.
On our Lower Salford jobs, the quote is set from a short phone or text exchange: the number of stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house. Our crew then checks the roofline and the gutter runs before the visit, so the estimate and the invoice match. For a house with a heavy pollen film on the glass and packed elbows in the gutters, our crew has found that a single visit covers both the outside of the windows and the full gutter run. Picture windows and multi-story glass take longer than standard panes, and we say so in the quote before anyone climbs. We also offer regular cleanings on a set calendar, so the number is steady from one visit to the next. Our crew works on exterior glass and gutters only, so windows inside the house are not part of this visit, and neither is pressure washing.
| 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.
On our Lower Salford jobs, most of our customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the outside of the house.
In spring the glass shows a tree dust film on the south-facing panes, and the gutters hold a sticky paste in the elbows. In fall the leaf load is what we see most, a wet mat in every run. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates by a few weeks, so we book against what we find on the house rather than against a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, which is how clogged gutters start, and our crew sees that on a three-to-four-visit cycle. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction collects more dust on the frames, and that dulls the curb appeal of the whole front. We check these on the first visit and tell you which schedule fits.
Cases that need the most frequent cleaning are houses that carry the most grime from the trees and the road, and multi-story buildings where the back run is out of reach. Window cleaners who work this area plan the schedule around the trees first, and professional window cleaning here follows the same order. A house with few or no trees usually needs one visit a year in late October to November. A house under heavy tree cover usually needs three or four.
Watch for two signs. Windows that look hazy only when the sun is low need cleaning. Gutters that send water over the edge in rain need clearing before the next storm, or the overflow can cause water damage at the fascia.
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 and gutter cleaning crew works across Lower Salford, and we work the same way on each street. Booking starts with a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give you a quote from that, and then a date. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm the date when we call to book.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season. The calendar fills in those months, so the earlier you call, the better your chance of a slot that suits you. Outside those windows the calendar is looser.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and you come back to clean windows and clear gutters. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come. Every window and gutter run is checked, including the upper-story glass and the sill on each frame, and the crew wipes each frame to remove dirt before the glass is done.
We clean residential properties and commercial buildings. For a residential window job, this means one crew for the whole outside of the house, with the same care on every pane. For a business with glass on several floors, the same crew handles our washing services as one visit. To schedule service, call us at (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the house or building address.
Yes, it is the same crew. Our washing services cover the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text before the visit. We do not quote a figure here.
Yes, professional window cleaning is worth it on most houses here. The outside of the glass carries tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those do not wash off with the inside. The windows inside the house stay as they are.
Our customers here book in spring and fall, once the spring season or the leaf drop has settled. Across Pennsylvania, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and condos book the same two windows.
Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff from the gutters runs down the wall before the glass is touched. Nothing from the roof lands on the clean panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleared as part of the visit, which is how we remove dirt from the frame. They are not billed as extras.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
