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 doing both jobs together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew does this work across Pennsylvania every spring and fall, and it is the crew you will see on the ladder.
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 a residential window job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle of gutters and exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking two window cleaning services separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer on the ladder. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes and picture windows that need more time and more care. Professional window cleaning on a house with a lot of glass takes more crew time, and the estimate reflects that. Glass is done with purified water, not cleaning solutions, so there is no soap film left to rinse. Gutters not cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more hours to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that regular cleanings will not remove, and we will tell you so before we start. This estimate covers the exterior only, and interior and exterior glass are different jobs. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
A recent South Union job shows how the number gets set. One customer with a two-story house and a large run of picture windows had us clear a gutter line that had not been opened in several years, and the time went into the packed elbows rather than the glass. The quote was set from stories and window count on a photo of the front of the house, and it did not change on the day. For an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has, and we will send back a written estimate.
| 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.
Across Pennsylvania most of our customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Here, the spring visit runs late May to June and the fall visit runs late October to November.
In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs. Storms and wind seasons from the tropical remnants can move either date by a few weeks. Heavily clogged gutters hold water in the runs, and a blocked run sends runoff over the edge and onto the siding, which over time can lead to water damage at the fascia.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house near a busy road or construction collects more dust on the glass, and on those visits we remove dirt from the frames as well. On those houses we plan three or four visits a year and keep a note of what we found on each one.
Windows tell you when they need cleaning: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, or a film that takes away the curb appeal of the front of the house. Gutters tell you too, when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will schedule the next slot.
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 gutters and exterior windows on residential properties across South Union and the houses around it, and one of our cleaning services covers the whole job. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we tell you what the visit will cost and when we can come. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we tell you the next open date on the call.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works from the outside of the house and does not come inside.
Whether you own a single home or manage a building, we clean every window we can reach from the outside and the gutters that carry the water away. If the building is not a single home, say so on the call, since residential and commercial jobs are quoted from the same stories and window count, and multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder. A window and gutter cleaning visit is one trip, one set of photos, and one invoice that matches the number you were quoted. Ask us to schedule service for the same day you book the estimate if your calendar allows it.
Yes, it is the same crew. Our two-person crew clears gutters and downspouts first and does the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters never lands on clean windows.
We do not give a figure over text. For window cleaning services on a two-story house the number comes from stories and window count, and we give it by phone or text once we have those and a photo of the front of the house.
In South Union the outside carries tree dust in spring, leaf dust in fall and rain dust in between, plus sprinkler spots where a line hits the glass. That grime sits on the outside, so cleaning the windows inside alone leaves it on the glass.
Most of our customers book the spring visit for late May or June, after the pollen drop finishes. The fall visit is late October or November, after the leaves come down.
No, because we work gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so we rinse the siding and let it drip before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt before they go back, and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, and we tell you before we start if a track needs extra time. If the house is a condo, tell us on the call so we can quote the exterior glass and gutters you can reach.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the glass and we do not do pressure washing services.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
