Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of each residential window in one visit. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so nothing washed down the wall lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and having both jobs done together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Pennsylvania, late May and late October are the usual booking windows, and we keep the same order every time.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will quote it from that. Window cleaning services for a two-story house are quoted from that photo, not from a rate card.
Stories and roof pitch move the quote most, because a third story or a steep roof takes more time and more equipment. Window count matters too, along with oversized picture windows that take more handling per pane. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer than a light run, and a heavy coat of grime on the glass adds time as well. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are added to the time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with regular window washing services, so we flag it on the visit before doing extra work on it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Each of our cleanings covers the outside of every window on a home, including the sills, so none is partial. Interior and exterior work are never bundled into one price, because interior glass is not part of this visit. The job is built around the number of stories, the glass on each face of the house, and what the gutters are holding when we arrive. Ask for a written estimate by text or email so the number is on paper before we start.
| 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.
Across Pennsylvania, late May or June and late October or November are the usual visit windows, and most of our customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Regular cleanings twice a year keep both jobs on one schedule. In the spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters, and a window and gutter visit in the spring clears both before summer haze sets in. The fall visit clears the leaf load before the first hard freeze, and it is also when we remove dirt the summer rain has baked onto the glass.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road usually needs a third visit, because the grit and spotting come back faster than the two-visit schedule catches them. Those are the houses where clogged gutters and water damage show up first, and where windows inside stay clean while the outside is still dirty, which is why we look at the outside alone on this visit.
You will know windows need cleaning when the glass looks hazy only in low sun. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 crews work across the cleaning services area around North Middleton, and we book by phone or text. Professional window cleaning is booked the same way as gutters: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a date and a two-hour window. Lead time is set by the calendar, and it is shortest outside the two busy windows of the year. Those busy windows are the spring and fall leaf months, when our calendar fills and the window cleaners on the crew are booked out. The team handles residential and commercial buildings alike, and the order of work is the same for both.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. The crew uses a boom or scissor lift on tall stories, and every window gets the same attention, so the curb appeal of the house is the same from the street as from the porch. Multi-story buildings with several floors of glass are quoted by stories and lift needed, not a flat rate. The crew brings its own cleaning solutions and purified water, so there is nothing to set up. Use the phone or text line to schedule service, and we will confirm the slot before the crew is on the way.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first, flush the downspouts, and then do the outside glass, so the work runs in one visit.
We do not quote a figure off a page. The number comes from stories and window count, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
On the houses we clean here, the outside carries the dust off the road, the rain film and the sprinkler spots. The inside can look clean and the glass still hazy in low sun.
Across Pennsylvania, most customers book in late May or June and in late October or November. Those are the two windows when the leaves and the spring film are at their worst.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. Clearing a run sends leaves and black water down the wall, and the runoff from the roof can spatter the glass below, so the glass has to wait until the downspouts are flushed.
Screens are rinsed, and sills are wiped as part of the residential window cleaning. Tracks are included in the visit when they are reachable from the outside.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing, so the crew stays on the outside of the house. If you own one of several condos on the same roof line, call first so we can confirm the gutter run before booking.
No, you do not need to be home, because residential properties are cleaned from the outside. Turn the sprinklers off, 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.
