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 them as two trips. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, after the seed drop and again before the leaves come down, and that is the calendar we work from.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window cleaning services follow the same count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, which is slower to work, a high count of windows or oversized picture windows, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Multi-story buildings take longer per window, so each extra floor shows up in the price. We do not do interior glass, so interior and exterior work is never on the same quote. Gutters and downspouts are part of the job, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are not billed as extras.
Our Swatara jobs follow the same rule. Each quote starts with the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house, sent by text. Frames and sills get cleaning solutions suited to the material, while the glass itself is done with purified water. Heavy cleanings of the gutters are the most common surprise, so we look at the gutter run before we give the final number. Most regular cleanings after the first visit come in lower, since the mat is thinner. Call (866) 435-6328 for the number, or ask for a written estimate if you want the scope on paper before we book a date.

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 the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Pennsylvania, the spring visit falls in late May to June, when the glass carries pollen film on south-facing panes and pollen paste packs the gutters. The fall visit runs November to early December, when the leaf load and the wet mat sit in the runs.
Wind and storm seasons move the dates, so we book by the week rather than by a fixed day. Where clogged gutters overflow in a steady rain, water damage at the fascia and the wall below is the risk, so those runs go first on the schedule. Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, often need a third visit, because the spots that return a day after cleaning are mineral deposits that a visit does not remove. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the lower panes and needs the same check. Professional window cleaning keeps the front of the house looking right, which is how curb appeal holds up through the season.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain. Our window cleaners and gutter crew both check for those signs at the first visit, and we will tell you which schedule your lot needs.
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 do window and gutter cleaning on residential properties across Swatara, and the crew works the same way on every street. This page covers residential properties only, so for multi-story buildings or residential and commercial work, call first and we will tell you whether the crew can take it. Booking starts with a short call or text: the number of stories, the rough window count and a photo of the house front. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar. Lead time is set by our calendar that week, and the busy windows of the year, spring pollen and fall leaves, are when slots fill first, so the sooner you call, the better your chance at the day you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not enter the house. If the gutters and the outside glass both need doing, one visit covers the clean windows, the sill wiping and every residential window that faces the street, so you do not pay for two crews on two days. We will schedule service around the weather and tell you the day before.
Yes, it is the same two-person crew on the same visit. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and then the glass, so the runoff from the roof never reaches the windows we have just finished.
We give the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. We do not quote from a fixed chart, and the figure you hear on the call is the figure on the invoice.
Usually yes here, because the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. The crew uses purified water to remove dirt from each pane, so the outside dries without streaks, and clean inside glass on a dirty outside still looks hazy in low sun.
Our customers here book in late spring and again in the fall, once the seed drop and the leaf drop are done. We work from that calendar and can tell you the week that fits your lot.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. The leaves, grit and black water from a run come down the wall, so the glass is done only after the downspouts are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are included in the visit. None of it is a separate line item on the invoice.
We clean the outside of the windows only on this visit, and windows inside are not part of this booking. We also do not offer pressure washing services.
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 ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in condos, tell us when you call, since the gutter runs may be shared with the building.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
