Yes, the same two window cleaners 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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and the Spring Garden crew works that same schedule. Call (866) 435-6328 with your story count and window count for a number before we book.
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 the window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the same way we price our other washing services. Booking gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two window cleaning services separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, what moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A large window count, including oversized panes and picture windows, adds glass to wash. Baked-on grime on a south-facing pane takes more passes than a light film of dust. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with regular cleaning, and we tell you about it before we treat it. Runoff from a clogged downspout can stain the wall below, so the crew flushes it before the glass goes on. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how we get the exact number. Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have. The photo also shows how much dirt has built up, and whether one pass will remove dirt from the glass or we need two. On our Spring Garden jobs, a two-story house with a heavy load of pollen paste in the gutters took longer than its window count suggested, because the crew had to flush every downspout before the glass went on. If you live in one of the condos on a shared building, tell us which windows and gutter runs are yours, and we quote only those. The same method covers residential properties of every size. That kind of detail is what separates a quote from a guess, so we ask for it before we give a number. Nothing on the invoice will be a surprise that was not on the phone.

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 Spring Garden customers book regular cleanings of both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in late spring, after the bloom, and once in the fall after the leaves come down. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for this calendar.
What we find in the spring is a film on the glass and a clog in the gutter. In the spring, the glass on south-facing walls carries a yellow film, and the pollen settles into the gutters as a paste that blocks the elbows at the downspout. In the fall, the leaf load is the job, a wet mat two inches deep in the gutter and grit packed along the bottom of the run. Wind and storm seasons move both dates, so we book from what the house has been through rather than the calendar alone.
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, and we flag those at the first visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grit on the glass than a quiet street does. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the outside glass, so there is nothing left to rinse off. Those houses need three or four cleanings a year.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Clean glass also does a lot for curb appeal from the street. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. If either happens between visits, text us a photo and we tell you whether it is the glass or the gutter.
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 cleans gutters and windows across Spring Garden, and our cleaning services are booked by phone or text at (866) 435-6328. Give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm a time. Lead time is set by our calendar, and we give you the actual date when you call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We clean every window on the outside of the house that we can reach, and windows inside the house are not part of this visit. To schedule service you only need one call or text.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills in both. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Outside them, we can usually find a date sooner. Each visit is a crew of two doing professional window cleaning and gutter work, so the work moves at a steady pace from the roofline down to the sill.
Some houses need more care than the standard visit. Multi-story buildings and houses with clogged gutters take longer, because each run has to be cleared and flushed before the glass goes on. If a gutter has already caused water damage to siding or fascia, the crew photographs it and reports it. Repair is outside what we do, so we tell you what we see and leave the decision with you.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the work runs in the right order and nothing gets washed twice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and the same method applies to residential and commercial buildings, so describe the building type when you call. Send a photo of the front of the house and the window count, and we give you the number before any work starts.
Yes, because the outside carries tree dust, rain grit and sprinkler spots that never reach the inside. On a residential window in Spring Garden, the outside glass is where most of the grime sits, and it is the part most homeowners do not see until the sun is low.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the tree bloom, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Across Pennsylvania, spring and fall are when most residential properties get booked.
No. Gutters go first, glass last. When we clear a run, the debris and black water come down the wall, so the glass is washed only after the runs are cleared and the downspouts flushed.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, so none of it is a separate charge, and you get clean windows without an add-on.
Not on this visit. The crew does not clean windows inside the house, so interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. If you want the inside done, ask us about it separately.
No, you do not need to be home for exterior work. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, 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.
