Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here in Pittsburgh. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing from the roof ends up on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. On our Pittsburgh jobs, most customers book this for spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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 a bundled visit for both jobs costs less than booking the two separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What we have seen drive quotes on our Pittsburgh jobs is the height of the house and any steep roof, the number of windows and how many oversized panes are on the front, gutters nobody has cleared in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will take off. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
The easiest way to get the exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories. From there we can tell you which of the window and gutter cleaning options fits your house, and whether the picture windows or the upper glass need the boom or scissor lift. Our cleaning solutions are the same on every job, and the crew hauls the debris away rather than blowing it onto the lawn. For a house with a lot of trees, the gutters often need more time than the glass, and we say so on the phone before the day is booked.
Most of the residential and commercial jobs we quote in the city follow the same pattern, and we give the same answer on every call. Regular cleanings keep the bill lower over the year because the gutters never get packed enough to need extra time. If a sprinkler line is hitting the glass, the spotting has to be treated separately, and we quote that after the crew sees it. The interior and exterior glass are handled as two separate jobs, and this visit covers the outside only. Call (866) 435-6328 for the number, or text the photo and we will reply with it.

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 Pittsburgh customers book both jobs twice a year, and across Pennsylvania our spring visits run late May to June while fall visits run late October to November. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and packs into the gutter elbows as a paste. Fall is when the wet leaf mat builds up and sits against the downspouts through the cold months. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates by a few weeks, so we look at the roofline before we set the date.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts and leave clogged gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film that the regular visit does not fully remove. These are the cases where our cleaning services get called back sooner than the twice-a-year schedule.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the sky. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. Both are easy to miss from the windows inside the house, and both are what our window cleaners check first, because professional window cleaning starts with a walk around the outside. A dirty exterior also wears on the curb appeal of the house, and the buildup in the gutters is the most common cause of water damage we see 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 clean residential properties across Pittsburgh, and the window and gutter cleaning is done by the same two-person crew on every visit. Booking starts with a phone call or a text that includes the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. From that we set a date, and the lead time is shown on the booking page for your city. The two busy windows are late May to June, which is the spring run across Pennsylvania, and the fall leaf season, when our calendar fills first, so the earlier you call the easier it is to schedule service at the time you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know the arrival window. Each residential window gets the same treatment, with the goal of clean windows from the picture windows on the ground floor down to the sill of every window on the upper story. The gutters and downspouts are cleared first, so nothing falls onto the clean glass.
Our crew works the whole city, and the same process applies whether the house is a single family home or one of the multi-story buildings in the older neighborhoods. We clean the glass on every window and the sill beneath it, then wipe the frame. If you have a question about a specific street or building, text us the address and we will tell you what we can do on that day.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter work are done by the same two-person crew on one visit, so you only pay for one trip. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the roof washes onto clean panes.
We give the number by phone or text, and it comes from the stories and the size of the house, the same way we price our washing services across the board. Send a photo of the front and the number of stories and we will reply with the figure we will charge.
Yes, on our Pittsburgh jobs the outside carries the rain dust, road grime and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up between visits and they are what makes the glass look hazy in low sun.
Most of our customers here book a visit in late May to June across Pennsylvania and again in late October to November. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will set a date.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and runoff come down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters and downspouts are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Sills are wiped as part of the job, so the crew can remove dirt that would otherwise run down onto the glass. Screens are rinsed on request and are not billed as an extra. Tracks are covered in the quote if you tell us about them when you call.
Exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows or do pressure washing on this visit, and the outside-only rule applies to houses and condos alike; ask for a separate quote if you need either.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. Ask for a written estimate before the visit if you want the number in writing.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
