Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your 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 them as two separate trips. Across Pennsylvania, most of the homeowners who book this do it in the spring and fall, and we keep the crew on the same calendar for both.
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. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. This quote covers the outside of the house only, and interior and exterior glass is never bundled into one line on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs take longer to work safely. A large number of window panes, or oversized picture windows, adds time on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it before anything is quoted. Our window washing and washing services follow the same order every time: roof blow-off, gutters and downspouts cleared to remove dirt, then the glass.
Penn Forest homeowners often ask what the cleanings add up to over a year. The answer depends on how many cleanings your house needs, and that depends on the trees and the sprinkler layout. For most homes we work on, regular cleanings twice a year keep the grime from building into a film on the glass, and they keep the gutters clear before they can overflow. We quote the outside glass and the gutters together from the stories and the window count alone, so the number on the invoice matches the number on the phone. Send a photo of the front of your house by text and we will tell you what we can see from it, including whether the picture windows will need extra time.

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 people book window and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and that is why one crew on one visit makes sense for both. In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the elbows of the downspouts. In fall, the leaf load arrives and clogged gutters are what sag the hangers. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little from year to year, so we book by the house, not by the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and where a film has built up, the crew adds cleaning solutions to the water and says so on the visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets a film on the glass faster than the rest of the block. If your house has one of these, we will say so after the first visit and suggest the interval the house actually needs.
You will notice when the windows need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low, or spots that return after rain. You will notice when the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a rain, or a downspout that gurgles when the gutter is full. Left alone, that overflow can turn into water damage at the wall below, and clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal. Call (866) 435-6328 to book the spring or fall slot, or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which one your house is due for.
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 professional window cleaning services and gutter work run on schedule service, so you book a day and the crew arrives in the window we give you. To start, call or text us at (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the estimate from that. Lead time is set by the calendar, and in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, our slots fill first. Book early in those months and you get the day you want.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside and does not come in. Our cleaning services cover every window on the outside of the house, and the crew checks every sill and frame as it goes so nothing is left dirty on the way out. The order of work is the same whether the building is residential or commercial, and the stories and window count set the quote. For homeowners who want window cleaners who clean the same way on every visit, the crew that quoted you is the crew that comes back.
Yes. Our crew does the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, so you do not pay for two trips. The gutters come first and the glass last.
We give the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. Multi-story buildings take longer, and condos are quoted the same way. We do not quote it from a general figure, because the stories and the window count decide it.
On the outside of a Penn Forest house, each residential window picks up pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, and cleaning the inside does not remove any of it. Outside cleaning is the part that changes what you see through the glass.
Across Pennsylvania most people book in spring and fall, and the same two windows suit most residential properties in Penn Forest. Our slots fill first in those months.
No, because clogged gutters and downspouts are cleared before the glass is touched. If the glass were washed first, the runoff would hit it again, so we keep the order fixed.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt before they go back in, and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, and we do not bill them separately.
This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean the windows inside the house, interior and exterior work is never quoted as one job, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
