Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Most of our North Union customers book this combined service in spring and fall, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
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 the same way, 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 window cleaners on our crew also clear the gutters, so the whole job is one visit. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards we have to lift and reseat, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Each of these changes how long the crew is on the ladder, which is why we ask for the stories and a window count before we quote. The windows inside the house are not part of this quote, so the number only covers the outside glass.
Here is a North Union customer example we can share from our jobs. A two-story house with a large number of windows and a sprinkler line hitting the front glass needed the gutters cleared and the spotting treated, and the quote reflected both. Our approach to pricing is the same for any house: we start with stories and count, then check the gutters, and the quote comes from what we find. Professional window cleaning on a house like this is mostly about the number of panes and how they are reached.
To get an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or send us a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Curb appeal is easy to read from a photo, and we can tell from the glass and the gutter line whether there is water damage or clogged gutters to plan for. The window washing and the gutter work go on the same invoice, so you see one number for both.
| 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.
Most of our North Union customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for these cleaning services. Spring visits across Pennsylvania run late May to June, and fall visits usually fall in late October to November. In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass, especially on picture windows, and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall we find the wet leaf mat and whatever the storms brought down. Storm seasons here bring tropical remnants across Pennsylvania, so the dates can move, and we confirm the day before we arrive.
Some residential properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A residential window near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime than one on a quiet street does, and the glass shows it first. We look at these during the first visit, and if you want a third visit on the calendar, we can schedule service for it when we book the first one.
A customer with no trees over the roof and no sprinkler spotting is on regular cleanings twice a year. A customer under heavy trees with sprinkler spotting is on three or four cleanings. Both get a photo of every window and each gutter run before the crew leaves.
You will know the windows need attention when a haze shows up that only appears when the sun is low. Clean windows should look clear from inside the house at any hour, so that haze is the signal to call.
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 washing services cover exterior windows and gutters across North Union, and the crew works the whole city rather than a single block. Booking starts with a call at (866) 435-6328 or a text where you tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house. From there we give you a slot, and the calendar tends to fill during the two busy windows of the year when pollen and leaves are at their peak. If you call early in those months, you have more dates to pick from.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not enter the house. Our window cleaning services cover the exterior glass only, and we do not add interior and exterior work to the same quote. We remove dirt from the frames with water and no cleaning solutions while the gutters and downspouts get cleared in the same visit, so the grime, runoff and debris go with the job. For multi-story buildings and condos, send the number of units and stories so we can plan access.
Yes, the same two-person crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote every job the same way, by phone or text.
Yes. On the outside, pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting build up, and those are the things that cut the light through the glass. Large panes show it most, since one big pane has no frame to hide a streak.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, after pollen season and after the leaves drop, and twice-a-year visits on that schedule are the most common.
No, we clear the gutters first and wash the glass after, so nothing runs back onto it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we use water alone, so the sills dry with no residue.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
