The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Pottstown jobs, most customers book this bundle for the spring and fall visits, when pollen and leaves build up fastest. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Text a photo of the front of the house or call us to get your estimate started.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and it covers the cleaning solutions we use on the glass. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the stories and window count before we quote.
Four things move the quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof steep enough that the crew works from a boom or scissor lift changes the setup. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows that take two people and more time to do safely. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it, and we tell you about it before the job starts. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only.
Here is how we get the number for a specific house. Tell us the stories and the approximate window count, and send a photo of the front and back. Ask for a written estimate and we will send it before we book a date, so you can compare it with what you have been quoted before. Residential and commercial jobs are priced on the same basis, by building size and access, and professional window cleaning is quoted the same way, with every cleaning confirmed by photo. For regular cleanings on a schedule, the per-visit number stays the same from one visit to the next unless the house changes. Our crew has seen the cost drop when customers keep to a fixed schedule, because the gutters never get to the point where they need extra time.
| 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 Pottstown customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in a spring visit and a fall visit, which is why one crew doing both jobs in one visit fits the calendar. Across Pennsylvania, spring visits usually fall in late May to June, when pollen filmed across south-facing glass and packed into the gutters is at its heaviest. In Pottstown the fall visit lands in late October or November, when the leaf load peaks, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often see runs that sagged under the weight of wet leaves. Across Pennsylvania, tropical remnants can bring storm and wind seasons that move the dates on both sides of the year.
Some houses need a third visit. Clogged gutters are the most common reason, especially under heavy tree cover where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another: it leaves spots that return a day after cleaning, and cleaning alone will not remove them, so we flag them on the first visit. A run that overflows in every storm can push water damage into the fascia, so we flag that too. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster, and so does a house with a lot of runoff from a driveway hitting the wall below the eaves. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs also take more time between visits, so ask us what your schedule should be after the first cleaning.
On our Pottstown jobs we see two patterns. One customer with no trees books twice a year and never needs anything in between. Another, with mature trees and a sprinkler line on the south wall, books three or four visits a year and keeps the windows on a steady schedule. Both are in the notes from their visits, and we can show you the photos from the first cleaning. Each visit is meant to remove dirt that rain leaves behind. Windows tell you they need it when the glass looks hazy only when the sun is low. Gutters tell you when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal.
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 have cleaned window and gutter cleaning jobs across the residential properties in Pottstown, and the crew knows the typical roof lines and window layouts here. Booking starts with an estimate for our cleaning services by phone or text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count before we set a date. To schedule service, call us with that information and we will check the calendar while you are on the line. Customers ask for clean windows and clear gutters in the same visit, and our washing services book exactly that. Lead times run in the range our schedule shows for the current week, and we tell you the first open date when you call. Expect a call from us before we come, so you know who is arriving and when.
The two busy windows are the spring and fall visit months. During those weeks the calendar fills first, so book early if you want a specific morning. Outside those windows, a slot usually opens faster, and a mid-week date often has more room than a Monday or Friday. For commercial buildings, multi-story buildings and condos we schedule by building, so ask about access and parking when you call. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside, and every window is cleaned from the outside. On a residential window, the sill and frame are wiped along with the glass, so nothing is left behind.
Yes. Our window cleaners handle both, and the same two people run the washing services for gutters and downspouts and for the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. That order keeps the dirty water from the gutters off the clean glass.
We do not give a figure in writing. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text, as with all our window cleaning services. Call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and an approximate window count, and we will quote it.
On our Pottstown jobs the outside carries most of the grime: pollen, rain dust, runoff, and sprinkler spots that build up on the exterior of the glass. Windows inside are a separate job we do not do on this visit, but the outside is where the buildup happens.
Across Pennsylvania, spring visits usually fall in late May or June, and most of our Pottstown customers book the fall visit in late October or November. Those are the busiest stretches, when pollen and leaves are at their heaviest, so our window cleaning services fill fastest then.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Once the roof is clear, the gutters are cleared, every downspout is flushed, and the wall has a few minutes to stop dripping, only then do we touch the windows. Gutter water left running across clean glass leaves streaks that take longer to remove, and water left pooling against the wall can lead to water damage.
Screens, sills and frames are part of the job. We rinse the screens to remove dirt and wipe the sills and frames as we go, and they are not billed as extras.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only. Condos follow the same exterior-only scope, and we schedule them by building. We do not do interior glass and we do not do pressure washing of siding or decks.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If your gutters are clogged, tell us on the phone so the crew brings the right tools. We send photos of every run and the finished glass before the crew leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
