The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Pennsylvania, most of the homes we work on book both in the spring and the fall, which is why we built the job around that schedule. Tell us your stories and a rough window count and we will give you the number on the phone, the same number you see on the invoice.
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 each window and gutter job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our quotes are built the same way for residential and commercial properties, and the figure you get from us depends on your house.
Several things move the quote on the day. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means more time on a boom or scissor lift. A window count that includes picture windows takes longer per pane, since the oversized glass is heavier to handle. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more work before the flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something no cleaning solutions remove, and we will say so when we see it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Tredyffrin jobs, the price tends to follow what the crew finds at the roofline more than the square footage. One customer with two stories and a dozen windows came in higher than expected only because the back run had not been opened in several seasons, and the crew had to clear it before the flow test would pass. The photos of that run went to the customer before the crew left. Regular cleanings are quoted from the same stories and window count you gave us the first time. This quote covers the exterior only, so a request for interior and exterior glass is a separate conversation. Ask for the exact number by sending us a text with the stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what moves yours.
| 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 jobs in Tredyffrin, most customers book gutters and windows twice a year, in the late spring and again in the fall, and one crew in one visit makes that schedule easy to keep. In spring the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste, and the pollen film on south-facing glass is what most people notice first. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that matters, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see clogged gutters and gutter runs that have sagged by the next spring.
Storms and wind shift those dates from year to year, so we call before we come rather than working from a fixed calendar, and our cleaning services follow the weather. Some houses need a third visit, and it is worth raising professional window cleaning on the same call when you book. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass than a quiet street does. Multi-story buildings, the kind with three floors of glass, are harder to keep on a single schedule.
The signs that windows need cleaning sooner are easy to see. Haze that only shows when the sun is low is usually the film of the season, and a window that looks clear at noon can show it at six in the evening. Dirty glass drags down curb appeal faster than most owners expect, and haze on windows inside the house is outside what this visit covers. The sign gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout, and water damage often starts right where that sheeting lands on the siding. If you see either one between visits, text us a photo and we will tell you whether it is a cleaning problem or something else.
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 crews work across Tredyffrin, and we handle window and gutter cleaning on residential properties in one visit, gutters and downspouts included. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar. Most calls are scheduled within the lead time we give you on the phone, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop. If you can book before those windows open, you get the date you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we arrive so you know when to expect us. Every residential window on the outside of the house is covered in the price, including the upper story, and every window is cleaned from a pole rather than a ladder against the siding. Sills are wiped on each window. We are able to schedule service around your routine, and if a window cannot be reached safely we say so and photograph it instead of guessing. For clean windows that stay clean, most customers keep the same schedule each year, so the date is easy to repeat.
Yes, our window cleaning services and the gutter work come from the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so that water and debris from the roofline do not land on clean windows. One crew, one visit, one invoice.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the approximate size, and you get it by phone or text before anything is booked. The number we give is the number we charge.
On our Tredyffrin jobs the outside carries the tree dust, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those build up even when the inside looks fine. Cleaning the outside is how you remove dirt that rain leaves on the frames and glass, and clean outside glass is the part that changes how the house looks from the street, so most customers start there.
Most of our Tredyffrin customers book in the spring, after the bloom drop, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Across Pennsylvania the same two windows work for most houses, and condos follow the same timing as single-family homes unless the building sets its own rules. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm the timing for your house.
Not if the order is right. Gutters first and glass last means the leaves, grit, runoff and black water come down the wall before anyone touches the windows, so nothing from the roofline lands on panes that were already done.
Screens are taken down, hand-rinsed and put back. Sills are wiped on every window. Tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. None of those is billed as an extra.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not offer interior window or pressure washing services as part of this bundle.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock any side gates. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
