Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips.
Our crew does this work in spring and fall, when the leaves and grit are at their worst, and we keep the calendar open for both of those windows. Tell us the stories and the window count, 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.
The direct answer is this: window washing is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking the gutters and the exterior windows together as one of our washing services costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Each package has a starting price set by stories and window count, and the bundle saving is worked out for your house when you call.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time and more safety setup. The number of residential windows matters, and so do oversized picture windows that take longer to reach and wipe. Gutters that have gone years without cleanings, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more hours than a light clean. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another one: it is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it.
Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass is a separate question, but on this visit we clean the exterior only.
On a McCandless Township job last spring, a two-story house with a large run of picture windows and gutters that had not been opened in several years took longer than the phone estimate suggested, because of the grime on the upper glass and the packed downspout elbows. The crew told the owner before the work started, and the number on the invoice matched the one given on the call. To get your exact figure, text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will tell you what we see.
| 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 McCandless Township jobs, most customers book the window and gutter work for regular cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass, and sticky tree residue packs into the gutter elbows. Every spring visit we see it, and the windows show a yellow haze on the sunny side of the house. In fall the leaf load builds into a wet mat, and clogged gutters hold the water behind it. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates by a few weeks in either direction, and we schedule around the weather rather than a calendar.
Some houses, and some multi-story buildings with a lot of glass, need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof drops needles and grit between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a film of dust faster than the glass can handle, so we add a visit to remove dirt before it sets. For these houses we suggest the third visit based on what the crew sees, not on a rule.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout, and that overflow can lead to water damage at the foundation.
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 cleaning services reach across McCandless Township, and our crew works the whole town rather than a single corner. To schedule service, start with a phone or text estimate, where you give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm a slot once the number is set.
Lead time changes with the season, and we tell you the next open date on the call. The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills first. Book early in those months, and we will hold the slot once you accept the estimate.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every run and every window when the job is done. Our window cleaning services cover the outside of the glass, and our window cleaners bring their own cleaning solutions and work carefully around the sill and frame so nothing is dragged or chipped. Professional window cleaning on a house in this town should protect the curb appeal you already have, and that is how we schedule every visit.
Yes. The same two people do both on your house in one visit. Gutters are done first, then the glass, so the dirty gutter water never runs onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and the number of windows, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the figure before we come out. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count.
On our jobs here, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up on the glass between visits and cut the light, so cleaning the outside alone makes a visible difference.
Most customers book in late spring and late fall, when the spring and fall debris is at its worst and our calendar fills first. Tell us when you want it, and we will check the open dates.
No. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. Gutters first, glass last keeps the runoff off the windows we just cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side. We do not bill these as add-ons.
This page covers residential properties, and the scope is exterior only on this visit. We do not pressure wash siding or decks. Tell us the building type on the call, and we say whether the crew can take it.
No, 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 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.
