Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. On our Philadelphia jobs, most customers book this in spring and fall, which is when the pollen and the leaves do the most damage to the glass and 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 give the number on the phone, from the stories and the window count, and the number we give is the number on the invoice. Bundling gutters and exterior glass into one visit costs less than two separate cleanings, and the saving is shown on your quote. Residential and commercial jobs are quoted the same way, from stories and window count. We use purified water on the glass rather than cleaning solutions, and interior and exterior glass are priced as separate jobs, since this visit covers the exterior only. Our crew does not quote a figure from the street.
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, clogged gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
A house with a row of picture windows across a sloped lot, a sprinkler line hitting the lower glass and a gutter run nobody has opened in years would be quoted on the window count and the lift on the back run, not on any single item. To get your number, text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have. A window and gutter cleaning on a house like yours goes faster when the crew knows the layout before the truck arrives.
| 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.
Many Philadelphia homes book our cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Pennsylvania, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run late November to December. Many of the homes we book here go once after the spring pollen drop and again after the last leaves come down, so the calendar fills in those two windows.
In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters. In fall we find the wet leaf mat that sags the runs and the grit that washes onto the sills, and clogged gutters are the first sign of it. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates by a few weeks, so we book against the house, not the calendar. Window cleaners who skip the gutters miss the fall leaf load, which is why we book professional window cleaning and gutter work together.
Some houses need a third visit, and regular cleanings suit them better than one big job. We see that most often under heavy tree cover over the roof, where the needles pack the downspouts between visits, and where a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings and houses near a busy road or a construction site pick up more grime and need the extra visit too. Whether you need it depends on what your lot is doing, and we tell you after the first visit.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low, and it shows against your curb appeal from the street. Gutters tell you when they need it too: water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout, and that runoff is the first step toward water damage at the fascia.
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 service around Philadelphia on a rolling basis, and the calendar is tightest in the two busy windows of the year. To get a slot, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and give us the number of stories. Lead time is shown when you book, and we call before we come.
Our window cleaning services cover residential window and gutter cleaning for residential properties and for owners who want clean windows on every floor, including upper stories we reach from the pole. We schedule service so that each house gets every window done in one pass, and the sill and frame are included in that pass. Condos are quoted unit by unit, so tell us which floors and how many windows you own. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Yes. Our washing services put the same two people on the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from stories and window count, and our window cleaning services are quoted by phone or text before anything is booked.
The outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so that is where most of the grime sits, and cleaning it is the part that shows from the street.
Our customers here book in spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get on the calendar.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the gutters and downspouts are finished before anyone touches a window.
Screens and sills are included in the visit. We rinse screens and wipe sills to remove dirt as part of the job.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, so windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing here.
Yes. Condos are quoted unit by unit, so tell us which floors and how many windows you own.
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.
