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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book this bundle for the spring and fall cleanings, and it is the same crew that does the work 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.
Our quote comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking gutters and windows separately. Gutters and windows are priced together, and the residential window count is the first number we ask for. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job rather than billed as extras.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a window count that includes picture windows, gutters and downspouts not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Our window cleaners flag that spotting before they start, so you know what the glass can and cannot take off.
To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and the rough window count. Window washing is quoted from the same two numbers, so count the panes roughly before you call. A professional window cleaning quote for a multi-story building or a house with clogged gutters is built the same way, and the curb appeal you get from clean glass and clear runs is the reason most owners book both in one visit. We will also tell you if a run is showing water damage, and what we see, not what to sell.
| 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 State College customers book both cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. We see the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters during the spring window, and the wet leaf load arrives in the fall window. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we confirm the day before.
Some houses need a third visit. On our jobs that means heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), or a house near a busy road or construction. Residential properties with that kind of exposure get regular cleanings more often, and we schedule service around the weather rather than a fixed date.
Clean windows should look clear from inside when the sun is low, and haze is the sign they need it. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Either one, call us and we will book a date.
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 works across State College for residential and commercial properties, and we book by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with your number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time is set by our calendar at the moment you ask, and it is shortest outside the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, when our calendar fills.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works from the outside of the house only. Our washing services and window cleaning services cover the glass, the gutters and downspouts together, so the grime, the runoff from the roof and the dirt that builds on the sill get handled on one visit. For condos and multi-story buildings, the same crew can schedule each building, and we will remove dirt from every window in the run before we leave.
Yes. For residential and commercial properties, the same two people do both on the same visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from stories and window count, and we give it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. We do not quote a figure without seeing the house.
Yes, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, and picture windows show it most when the sun is low.
Most of our customers here book regular cleanings in the spring window after the pollen drops and in the fall after the leaves come down. Across Pennsylvania the pattern is the same.
No. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing from the roof runs onto a clean pane.
Screens get rinsed and sills get wiped as part of the job, and the glass is done with purified water so no cleaning solutions are left behind to streak. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
No. We do exterior glass only, so this visit price never covers interior and exterior glass together, and pressure washing is not part of it either.
No. Before the crew arrives, turn sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
