Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We go gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the roof lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our Upper Darby customers usually book the work in the spring and fall, and the crew comes out with the same plan every time.
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.

On our Upper Darby jobs, the quote moves with a few things the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes change the glass work. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more hours. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another factor, since no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our crew on one Upper Darby job had a two-story house with a long gutter run and a row of picture windows facing the street. The gutters held a season of leaves and grit, and the downspouts needed clearing before the glass could be done. The window washing and the gutters were done in the same morning, and the crew sent photos of every run before leaving. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and the rough window count. The window washing services we quote are the same ones that go on the house the day we come out, so the number holds.
Grime on the glass and runoff from the roof are both easier to handle when the gutters are done first. We remove dirt from the gutters and downspouts before touching the windows, so the work goes in order. Condos, multi-unit homes and other residential properties get the same process, scoped by stories and window count.
| 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 customers in Upper Darby set up regular cleanings for both jobs, twice a year, once in the late spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on a schedule. Across Pennsylvania the same two-visit pattern holds for most houses.
On our jobs, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters in the late spring. That is the window and gutter visit most people book. The fall visit clears the leaf load before the first hard frost. Storms and strong wind move the dates in some years, so we confirm the slot before each visit.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frame. Those are the houses where our crew suggests a third pass.
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 the rain instead of running down the downspouts. Either sign is worth a call to schedule service.
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 as window cleaners across Upper Darby, and we book the work by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you a phone estimate before a slot is set. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo and we reply the same day with the next open date.
Our professional window cleaning is done with a water-fed pole and purified water, which lets the glass dry clean. Most panes get no cleaning solutions at all, just purified water, and the glass dries streak-free. The same method suits residential and commercial buildings, and the windows inside stay as they are on this visit, since interior and exterior glass are priced apart. The gutter work pairs with it because clogged gutters that overflow onto new glass undo the window work. On taller houses and multi-story buildings we bring a boom or scissor lift, and we say so on the estimate.
Calendars fill in the two busy windows of the year, when the spring pollen and the fall leaves are heaviest. Booking early in those windows keeps the slot you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Cleaning services like this one also catch small issues early, before they turn into water damage inside the walls. Clean windows and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and both come from the same visit.
Yes. The same crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the work is done in the right order.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and we give you the figure by phone.
On our jobs, the outside of every window carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is where most of the grime sits.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and in the fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest. Booking early in those windows keeps the slot you want.
No. Gutters first, glass last. If the glass is washed first, the leaves and grit that come off the gutters land on the clean windows and someone has to wash them again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job on every window we clean, and each residential window is checked before the crew leaves. Tracks are included on the exterior side.
Exterior only on this visit, so interior and exterior glass are not on the same ticket. We do not clean the windows inside, and we do not pressure wash on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn 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.
