The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Gutter debris drops onto clean glass if the order is reversed, so we never do it that way. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. On our Towamencin jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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 window and gutter bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The same questions set a quote for residential and commercial buildings, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Customers on regular cleanings get the same quote each time while the stories and window count stay the same.
On the day, the crew looks at a few things that change the quote. A third story or a steep roof is slower to work from a ladder or a lift. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes. Gutters not cleaned in years arrive packed with needles and leaves and take longer to clear, and a heavy pollen film on the glass takes longer to rinse. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line sits in the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the cleaning solutions for the frames are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our Towamencin jobs show how the quote gets built. One house we cleaned had a steep roof, a sprinkler line that hit the front windows, and a row of picture windows along the back. The crew cleared the gutters, flushed every downspout, rinsed the sprinkler spotting off the glass where it would come off, and flagged the rest in the photos. What moved the quote was the roof and the window count, not the cleaning itself. The price covers the exterior glass. Interior and exterior work is not bundled into this visit, and pressure washing is not part of it. To get your exact number, text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. That gives us what we need to quote the same way for your house.
| 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.
On our Towamencin jobs, most customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Booking the two as one of our cleaning services means one call and one set of dates. Plenty of window cleaners only do the glass, which means a second call. Across Pennsylvania the pattern is the same: spring and fall, with the dates shifting for wind and storm seasons.
In the spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and seed and catkin debris packs the gutters. In the fall, the leaf load is the job, and clogged gutters are the usual result. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we call before we come rather than working to a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Taller multi-story buildings with a lot of glass often need one more pass, because the upper panes are harder to reach. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a gutter that overflows for a season can cause water damage at the fascia. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime on the glass than the others. A professional window cleaning crew that comes out for a single pass in the fall will catch most of this, but not the sprinkler spotting, which is a separate job, and windows inside the house are not part of it either.
You notice the windows need cleaning when haze shows up in low afternoon sun. You notice the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters also protect curb appeal through the busy seasons.
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 clean exterior windows and gutters across Towamencin, including the residential properties on the older streets and the newer houses with large picture windows. Our crew does this work most of the year, so the calendar fills most in the two busy windows of the year when leaves and spring grime are heaviest.
Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: call (866) 435-6328 or send a text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you the price and the earliest slot. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and every window before we leave.
For a residential window and gutter cleaning, one visit covers every window on the outside and the gutters on the roofline. We leave clean windows with the sill, frame and glass done on each one, and we flush the downspouts so runoff clears the foundation. For larger jobs, we schedule service around the weather and call ahead.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first. Gutter debris runs down the wall and across the glass below it, so the glass goes last.
Our window cleaning services are priced from the number of stories and the size of the house. Text us the stories and a photo of the front, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the figure before we book.
On our jobs here, the outside carries the most grime: road film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. The inside is a separate job that we do not do on this visit.
Across Pennsylvania the usual windows are late May to June for the spring visit and late October to November for the fall one, when the leaf load and spring grime are at their heaviest.
No, because we clean the gutters and flush the downspouts first and let the wall dry before we touch the glass. Gutters first, glass last keeps runoff off the windows we just washed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the same run where they can be reached from the outside, and these washing services carry no extra line on the bill.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. The crew uses water to remove dirt from the outside of each pane, and we do not do the inside of windows or pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Condos get the same visit when the crew can reach the outside of the building. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
