Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew has worked this part of Pennsylvania through the spring and fall cleaning seasons, and most of our customers book both jobs then. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and a rough window count, and we give you the number on the phone.
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.
Our window cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Both jobs in one visit cost less than booking gutter cleaning and window cleaning separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Those two inputs cover most of the quote, and the rest is what we find on the day.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets on the ladder. A third story or a steep roof means more setup. Oversized picture windows and tall panes take longer per pane. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear and more bags to haul. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning does not remove. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
For a typical Shaler Township quote, the first step is a short call or text with your stories and a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to tell you whether a single visit covers it. The window washing and washing services on this quote are for the outside glass only, because we do not clean the windows inside on this visit. The quote covers exterior glass, not interior and exterior cleaning together. Our regular cleanings are built around the same route, which keeps the number steady from one visit to the next.
| 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 spring and once in fall. Across Pennsylvania, the spring visit falls in late May to June. The fall visit here runs late October to November, and one crew in one visit makes sense for both because the work is the same route.
What we find in spring is pollen. In the spring pollen season, a fine film builds on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packs the gutters and elbows. By fall the leaf load is the main job, and wet leaves in the gutters are what sag under the first hard freeze. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks, and we adjust the booking when they do.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings and houses near a busy road or a construction site collect more grime on the glass than one on a quiet street. We see clogged gutters on these houses sooner than on the rest, and left alone they lead to water damage at the fascia, so we flag it on the first visit.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low, and rain alone does not remove dirt from the glass. The sign that gutters need it is runoff sheeting over the edge in a rain, instead of running down the downspout.
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 gutter cleaning and window cleaning services around Shaler Township on the same route, so the schedule is built around the house rather than the neighborhood. Booking starts with a call or text with your stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm the window count from that. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the next open slot on the call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits described above. In those weeks the calendar fills, so the sooner you call, the sooner you get a date. Outside those weeks, our window cleaners can usually fit a job in faster. Either way, we call before we come, so nobody is standing in the driveway waiting. This page is about residential properties, so for a residential and commercial job, the call tells you what we can take.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and a clean gate and a few cars moved off the drive are enough. Each residential window job is set up as one professional window cleaning visit with the same cleaning solutions and the same crew, so the work on every window matches from one house to the next. Clean glass, clear gutters and a wiped sill do most of the curb appeal work on the front of the house.
Yes. For residential properties in Shaler Township, the same two people clean the gutters first and the outside glass after, in one visit. That is how we price the bundle.
We give the number by phone or text, based on the stories and the approximate window count. There is no figure we quote without those details.
Rain alone does not remove dirt from outside glass. On a residential window in Shaler Township, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Clean outside glass also makes the windows inside look better, because the haze you see through the pane is on the outside.
Most of our customers here book spring and fall, late May to June and late October to November. Those are the visits we plan the calendar around.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When the gutters and downspouts are cleared, the leaves, grit and black runoff run down the wall, so the glass waits until the run is clean and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the exterior work where they can be reached from outside.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. The same quote method works for condos: send your stories and a rough window count, and we confirm on the call whether one visit covers it.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
