The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two separately. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book it for the spring and fall cleaning, when the pollen and leaves build up.
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 doing the gutters and the outside glass together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and the window count and we will confirm the figure before a date is set.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a residential window and gutter cleaning in Ridley, the most useful thing you can send us is a photo of the front of the house by text, plus the stories and a rough count of the windows. Those three things tell us how much time the job takes, and that is what the quote is built on. Our crew works with a window and gutter cleaning plan per house, so you hear the number before work starts, not after. For residential and commercial buildings alike we ask the same questions and price per building, with the cleanings scheduled to match how the site is used. Regular cleanings are easier to keep to a set price than a one-off, and that is worth raising on the call.
Cleaning solutions are not the main driver of the price; the access and the amount of debris are. The pollen film on the glass and the paste in the gutters take longer than a light dust, so spring visits can run a little longer than fall ones on the same house. We will tell you that on the phone. We price interior and exterior glass separately, so tell us on the call if you want both.

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 Ridley customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Pennsylvania, the spring visit lands late May to June, and the fall visit lands November to early December, so a professional window cleaning on those dates fits the calendar most houses already keep.
At the spring visit we find a dusty film on the south-facing glass and paste packed into the downspout elbows. At the fall visit we find the leaf load and the wet leaf mat that sits in the gutter until the first freeze. Storm and wind seasons move those dates a little, and tropical remnants across Pennsylvania can leave debris in the gutters that needs an earlier look.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit 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 multi-story buildings beside a construction site, collects grime faster than the glass around it. Water left sitting in a clogged gutter can turn into water damage on the fascia, so those are the jobs where we suggest a third visit in the middle of the year.
You will know the glass needs it when a haze shows only in low sun, and you will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain. Windows inside the house can look clean while the outside is still hazy, so check from outside before you call window cleaners. Keeping both clean protects curb appeal through the year. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at your house and tell you which schedule fits it.
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 and residential window and gutter cleaning jobs across the city, and we clean commercial buildings on the same schedule. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. To schedule service, send the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we will give you the first open date on the call.
Our cleaning services are busiest in two windows: the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills because most customers book the same weeks. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Outside those weeks we can usually fit a visit sooner.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works from the outside of the house so you do not have to move things out of the way. Our crew will clean every window on the exterior that can be reached, and the sill under each one, so the house is left with clean windows on every side. We do the glass only, so we do not clean inside the windows on this visit. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule.
Yes. Some window cleaners only do glass, but here the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
Our window cleaning services are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and we give the number by phone or text before a date is set.
On our jobs the outside carries the dust, the rain grime and the sprinkler spots, so the glass gets dirty from outside first. A rinse alone will not remove dirt that has dried on the frames, so the frames get wiped too.
Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book in late May to June and again in November to early December. Multi-story buildings and houses under heavy tree cover are the ones that sometimes need a third visit in between.
No, because the gutters and downspouts are done first and glass last, so the runoff from them never hits glass we have already done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Anything beyond that, tracks included, is quoted on the phone before a date is set. Condos get the same outside work as any other home; tell us the building's stories when you call.
No, this visit is exterior only, so we do not clean inside the glass. Our washing services stay on the outside glass, frames and sills, and pressure washing is not part of the quote.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, 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.
