Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and one visit for both costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Spring and fall are the usual times to book it here, and the crew that quotes the job is the crew that does it.
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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge when the crew finishes. We quote from those inputs before anyone climbs a ladder, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text lets us check the window count without a site visit. Once a house is on a schedule, regular cleanings usually come back to the same quote, because the gutter runs and the glass stay the same size from one visit to the next.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same every time. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder, and a third story or a roof too steep to walk adds more time. A residential window count with oversized picture windows takes more time on the glass than a standard double-hung. Grime that has baked onto the glass takes longer than a light film of pollen. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles, seeds and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run underneath. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove, and we flag it on the visit. Window washing and washing services of this kind also include the screens, sills and tracks, so none of that shows up as an extra line.
Here is how the number usually comes together on a two-story house. The crew walks the perimeter, counts the windows, checks the gutters and downspouts, and notes any guard or spotting. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The window cleaning services and the gutter work finish in one visit, so the house is done in one morning. If a window cannot be reached safely, the crew says so and photographs it rather than guessing at the price.
A house with a lot of glass and gutters that have not been cleared in several seasons is the job where the quote can move the most. The first cleaning on a neglected house runs longer than the cleanings that follow it, because there is more to clear. We check that on the first call rather than after the ladder is up, and we tell you what we see before the crew arrives.
If you want the exact number, send us the stories, the window count and one photo of the front of the house by text. We check it against the house and call you back with the figure. Nothing on the invoice will be a surprise.

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.
The usual pattern here is two visits a year, one in spring and one in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on this calendar. Across Pennsylvania the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit runs October to early November, after the last leaves have come down and before the hard freezes start. Upper Macungie Township averages about 49.3 inches of precipitation a year, wettest in June, July and September, and about 33.1 inches of snow, mostly from December through March. A run that backs up in those wet months is how water damage starts on the siding and at the foundation.
In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters and downspout elbows. That paste is the first thing that causes clogged gutters on a house that has skipped a season. We rinse the glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so no residue is left on the frame. In fall the story is the leaf load: a wet mat that sits in the gutters and stains the fascia below. On multi-story buildings that load sits higher up, so the gutter visit takes longer. On houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, the cycle shortens, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Across Pennsylvania, tropical remnants bring the storm and wind that load the gutters faster, and we adjust when we see a run that is already holding water.
A house with heavy tree cover or a sprinkler line hitting the glass usually needs a third visit. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and the tree debris is the one that fills the runs faster than the calendar suggests. A house near a busy road or a construction site also picks up more grime on the glass, and those visits remove dirt that rain alone leaves behind. Houses like that tend to need the third visit.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Both are easy to check from the yard, and both are worth a call. The same two checks work on residential and commercial buildings alike.
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 work across Upper Macungie Township on residential properties, and we ask for the stories and the approximate window count before anything else, so the estimate matches the house. Booking starts with a call or a text to (866) 435-6328, and a photo of the house front helps us check the window count. The crew calls before they come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Spring and fall are the busiest stretches of the year, so booking early in those months gets you the slot you want. Our cleaning services are scheduled around the same routing, so every window and every run gets done on the same visit. We are professional window cleaning crews as well as gutter crews, so the same window cleaners who wash your glass also clear the runs. Every window and sill is wiped as part of the visit. Keeping curb appeal on the house is much easier when the glass and runs get attention on a schedule, so schedule service in the spring and fall windows. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we will confirm the day when we know the lead time for your area.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send the stories, the window count and a photo of the front, and we call back with the figure. Owners of condos are quoted the same way, from their stories and window count.
Yes. On residential properties in Upper Macungie Township, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and that is what we see on the glass here. On this visit, the windows inside stay as they are.
For regular cleanings, spring and fall are the usual windows, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down.
No. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the runoff is already gone before the windows are washed. Our crew checks the run and the wall below it before we start on the glass.
They are part of the window job. Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned to remove dirt, all on the same visit.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so interior and exterior washing of the same house is not part of this job. We do not do pressure washing either.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move the cars off the driveway if the 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.
