Same two people, one visit: we clear the gutters and clean the outside of your windows, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Roslyn customers book both in the spring and fall, so the calendar fills around those windows.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and it comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, both of which you can give us by text with a photo of the front of the house. Booking gutters and downspouts together with the window washing in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the saving is shown on your estimate. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it arrives: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized panes that take more time, gutters packed with needles and leaves that have not been opened in years, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning will remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and the clean glass does a lot for curb appeal. Pricing covers the outside glass only, so windows inside the house stay out of this quote.
On a recent Roslyn house, the front and back runs were clogged and the glass carried a film from a sprinkler line that hit the upper windows every evening, and that combination is what pushed the quote above the basic two-story figure. The crew cleared the runs, flushed each downspout until it ran clear, and worked the sprinkler spots separately so the owner knew which marks would come off and which would need a mineral treatment. If your house has clogged gutters or water damage at the fascia, tell us when you call so the estimate covers it. For the exact number on your house, send a photo of the front and tell us the stories and the window count, and we will give you a price for the professional window cleaning and the gutters before anyone climbs a ladder.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |

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.
Across Pennsylvania, most of the residential properties we clean book both jobs twice a year, and in Roslyn the pattern is the same: one visit in late spring after the seed drop, and one in late fall after the leaves are down, so one crew doing both in one visit is the simplest way to keep the schedule. On our Roslyn jobs the pollen shows up as a yellow film on the south-facing glass and as a paste packed into the gutter elbows, and in the fall it is a wet leaf mat that holds water against the fascia. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, and houses with a sprinkler line hitting the glass need one too, since those spots come back a day after a cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site may also need more frequent visits, because the grime on the glass builds up faster. If your home has few or no trees and no sprinkler spotting, once a year in late fall is usually enough for the gutters, and every window can follow the same schedule. We schedule service with you in advance so the crew is on your house when the gutters are at their fullest, and the cleaning services follow the same calendar.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low, and you will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running into the downspouts.
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 provides window cleaning services and gutter cleaning across Roslyn, and the calendar is the main thing to plan around. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we come back with a price and an open date. The two busy windows are the late spring season and the late fall leaf drop, and in those weeks slots fill faster, so book early if you want a particular day. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come so you know the crew is on the way. We do not promise same-day service, and the lead time for your address is given on the estimate. Our crews handle residential window washing services and gutter jobs, and commercial buildings including multi-story buildings and condos, and the same two-person crew does the gutters and the glass in one visit. Each job ends with photos of the gutters and downspouts and every pane, sent to you before the crew leaves, so you can see the crew remove dirt, grime, and the runoff track that a rainstorm would otherwise wash back onto the wall.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both, which is why we bundle them. The gutters are done first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean windows. The glass is rinsed with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left behind to streak.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, not from a fixed rate. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the exact figure before we book anything.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the yellow film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass in Roslyn. The inside glass is a separate job that we do not take on this visit, so the outside is what we clean on both residential and commercial buildings.
Our Roslyn customers book in the late spring after the pollen drops and again in late fall after the leaves are down. Regular cleanings in those two windows keep the buildup from setting. Booking early in those windows gets you a slot before the calendar fills.
Not on our jobs, because we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall dry for a few minutes, and only then clean the glass. Doing it the other way round means washing the same windows twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included on the exterior side. Picture windows get the same pole work as every other pane. Nothing on that list is billed as an extra.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows, so the job never covers interior and exterior glass together, and we do not do pressure washing. The crew sticks to the outside glass and the gutters.
No, you do not need to be home for exterior work. 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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
