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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs on separate trips. Across Pennsylvania, most of the homes we service book this in spring and fall, when the leaf load and grit are at their heaviest on the glass and in the runs.
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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than two separate cleanings. Give us the stories, a rough count of the windows, and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will tell you the number before anyone climbs a ladder. Call (866) 435-6328 for a figure, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. On multi-story buildings, a third story or a steep roof means boom or scissor lift time, and a window count with picture windows takes longer per pane. Heavily clogged gutters need more time at the downspouts, and runs that have not been opened in years take the longest. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a wash, and we say so when we see it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a New Garden job, the things that drive the number most are usually the same: how many floors the crew has to reach, how many panes sit behind a porch roof, and whether the gutters have been cleaned at all since the last owner. Window washing and professional window cleaning look similar from the sidewalk, but the time goes where the glass is, not where the house is. Many window cleaners quote by the pane, but we price by stories and window count. Curb appeal is a reason people book, and the cleaning is what makes the glass look right after the rain has come through. Gutters left clogged for a season can lead to water damage at the fascia and the corner of the house, and that is the reason the gutters go in the same visit.

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 New Garden customers book both twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Pennsylvania the timing follows the same pattern: the spring visit comes late May to June, and the fall visit late October to November. Cleaning services on a schedule catch the film before it bakes onto the glass.
What we find at each visit is consistent. In the spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass, and the sticky paste packs the gutters and downspout elbows. In the fall, the leaf load is the problem, and a wet leaf mat over a gutter run turns into a sagging hanger by the next winter. Heavy storm and wind seasons can move the dates by a few weeks in either direction. A residential window needs the same attention as a commercial glass wall, but the residential properties we service are usually a single story to three, so the crew can reach every window from the ground or the boom.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit in the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects grime faster than the calendar suggests. Clean windows last longest when regular cleanings are kept, and the crew can help you schedule service at the first visit.
You will see when windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain.
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 clean exterior windows and gutters across New Garden, and we work on the homes in the neighborhoods where we already have a crew on the route. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We will set a date and call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so book early if you can. For the washing services and window cleaning services we provide, the lead time depends on the week, and we will tell you the first open slot when you call. Dirt and grime on the outside of the glass and the runoff from a full gutter both need to come off before the next rain, which is the reason the booking calendar moves quickly in those months.
Our crews remove dirt from the frame, the sill and the screen as part of the same visit, and we clean gutters and downspouts in the same pass. Condos and single-family homes both get the same visit, and residential and commercial jobs are booked the same way. Call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the roofline, and we will tell you when we can come.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so you do not pay for two trips.
The figure comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. We give it by phone or text, and the number we quote is the number we charge.
Yes. On the outside, pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting build up in a way the inside never sees. That film is what makes the glass look dull from the street, so the exterior can be cleaned on its own and the interior glass stays as it is.
Across Pennsylvania the spring visit comes late May to June, and the fall visit late October to November. Pick whichever window fits your leaf schedule, and call early for an open slot.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall before any window is touched.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, and the glass gets water only, with no cleaning solutions. None of it is billed as an add-on.
No. This visit covers the exterior only, and we keep interior and exterior work separate from the gutter visit. We do not do pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway, 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.
