The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of every residential window in one visit, and the order never changes: gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips to the house. Call (866) 435-6328 for a firm quote before you book.
Our crew has run this combined visit across Pennsylvania for years. Most houses we see need it in the spring and fall, when leaves and rain leave their marks on both the roofline and the glass, and clean gutters and glass keep curb appeal up all year.
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.
Window cleaning services for a Plumstead house are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the window washing and gutter cleaning done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew would rather ask two questions before the visit than change the figure on the ladder.
On the day, the things that push a quote up are what our crew finds on the house. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the lift. Window count and picture windows add work per pane, since each large pane takes longer to reach and rinse. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years come down heavier, packed with needles and leaves, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, since cleaning solutions cannot lift mineral that has etched into the glass, and we tell you that before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. A condo is quoted the same way as a house, by stories and window count.
Here is how we get the exact number for your house. Text us a photo of the front of the house, tell us the number of stories, and give us a rough count of every window you want done. Our crew will confirm whether a boom or scissor lift is needed for the upper floors. Across Pennsylvania, customers who send those three things get a firm quote the same day.
| 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 customers here book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Across Pennsylvania the pattern is the same: spring and fall, with no place claim beyond that.
What we find at each visit follows the seasons. In the spring, pollen film builds on south-facing glass and pollen paste packs the gutters, and that is the moment a window and gutter cleaning does the most work. In the fall, the leaf load comes down all at once, and wind storms and remnant storms can move the timing of either visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or a construction site often needs a third visit, because the spots and grime come back faster than the calendar allows. Those are the houses where we set a schedule of regular cleanings instead of two a year.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, on a clear morning. Gutters tell you too, when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, call us before the next storm, not after.
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 crew works across Plumstead, and we clean the exterior of residential and commercial properties alike, as well as the gutters that run along them, with the same two-person crew and the same order of work. We are not one of the window cleaning services that subcontracts the gutters, and we are not a gutter company that brings in a glass crew. Our washing services stay with one crew from the first rinse to the last.
Booking is simple. Text or call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we call back with an estimate and a date window. Lead time is set by our calendar, and when we are busy in the spring and fall, we tell you the first open slot instead of guessing. Our calendar fills in those two busy windows, so if you want to schedule service in them, call early. Our cleaning services run on one booking for both jobs.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come, and we do not show up unannounced. Professional window cleaning on multi-story buildings and homes takes a steady crew and a lift, and that is exactly what we send. Clogged gutters, the runoff they throw over the edge, and the water damage that follows are the reason a lot of our calls start, so if your gutters are overflowing, we would rather see them sooner than later.
Yes, we do both, and it is the same two-person crew on the same visit. We clear the gutters first and clean the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean windows.
We give the number on the phone or by text, based on the number of stories and the approximate window count. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will confirm it before any work starts.
Yes, because the outside takes the hardest hit here. Film from the air, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass, and cleaning the inside cannot remove dirt from the outside of a pane.
Most of our Plumstead customers book in the spring and fall, when leaves and grit build up. Across Pennsylvania the same two windows apply, and booking early gets you the date you want.
No, that is the reason we do gutters first and glass last. The leaves, grit and black water come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. You do not get a separate line item for them, and the number on the phone covers them.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. Windows inside the house are not part of it, so the interior and exterior of a window are separate jobs, and we do not do pressure washing either. Those need to be booked separately with another company.
You do not need to be home, since our crew works outside and does not come in. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, 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.
