The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing that falls off the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book spring and fall, and we keep the same crew on the job from the first ladder to the last window.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window washing and gutter work are one quote, and our window cleaning services and washing services are priced from the same count. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof slows every run. Oversized panes and picture windows take longer to reach and to clean evenly. Heavy grime on the sills adds time too. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take the most time. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning solutions alone, so we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Pennsylvania, the houses we see most often are the ones where the owner has had a few seasons of regular cleanings and wants the same crew back for the outside glass. Every window gets the same attention whether it is a small kitchen pane or a large front picture window. If you want interior and exterior glass on the same visit, say so when you call, so the quote matches the job. To get your exact number, send us your story count and a photo of the front of the house by text, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will tell you what the crew will need to do on the day.

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.
Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the same calendar. Each visit we find something different. Across Pennsylvania the spring visit falls late May to June, and that is when we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and sap packed into the elbows of the downspouts. The fall visit runs October to early November, when the leaf load is the main problem and clogged gutters are what we see with sagging hangers in the months after.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof is one case, since needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass is another, and those are the spots that come back a day after cleaning, since cleaning solutions alone will not lift them. A house near a busy road or a construction site is the third, because the dust settles on the frames faster than the owner expects. Multi-story buildings often need one too, since the upper glass takes longer to reach. The same reasons apply to residential and commercial buildings alike.
Windows need cleaning again when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning again when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Water damage follows when that overflow runs down the wall for a season, so our crew checks both on every visit and tells you what it sees before we leave. Windows inside the house are not part of this 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.
We schedule through a phone call or a text. Many homeowners who call window cleaners for the outside of the house also ask whether the gutters can be done in the same visit, and they can. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send your story count and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the crew will need and when they can come out. We call before we come, so you are never surprised by a truck in the driveway. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so if you want a set date during those months, it pays to book early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside and does not come inside, and we keep the side gate and the driveway clear on our end. Each job goes out with photos of every run of gutters and downspouts and every window, so you can see the work whether or not you were there.
Our crew offers cleaning services to homeowners who want the outside of the house kept in step with its curb appeal, and to the property managers who handle condos and multi-story buildings at once. Work on residential properties gets the same process as any other job, and professional window cleaning follows the same ladder order from the first run to the last sill.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first, because the debris from the roof falls onto the glass, so the glass comes last.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we quote it by phone or text. Send us those two things and a photo of the front of the house, and you will have the number before any work is scheduled.
Usually the outside is where the damage is. A residential window collects pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots on the outside glass, and that is what makes it look dull even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the windows inside alone does not touch that film or the grime on the frames.
Across Pennsylvania, the spring visit falls late May to June, and the fall visit runs October to early November, after the leaves are down. Those are the two visits that cover the year on most houses.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters and downspouts, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass, so no runoff from the roof reaches a pane we have just cleaned. We also remove dirt from the frame before the glass is touched.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the outside, and the crew tells you if a track needs more work than a wipe.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing on it.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
