Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto 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. On our Upper Merion jobs, most customers book the work for the spring and fall.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Your quote for professional window cleaning comes from those inputs when you call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer to reach. Window count and oversized panes change the time on the glass. Clogged gutters, the ones not cleaned in years and packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of any window washing visit and are not billed as extras.
On one Upper Merion house, the quote moved because of the number of stories, the window count and the tree cover over the roof. Those three facts set the time on the ladder, and the quote reflected them. Before we quote, we need the number of stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house. With those, we can give you an exact number. Ask for a written estimate and we will send it to you before any work is booked.
We also check for water damage that the cleaning reveals, such as a soft fascia or a stain under a clogged gutter, and we photograph it and report it. We do not sell repair on the spot. Ask us to note it on the estimate, and you will know what we found, and what it does to curb appeal, before we leave.

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 Upper Merion jobs, most customers book both twice a year, in the spring and the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring we find pollen on the south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters. In fall we find the wet leaf mat that packs the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we call before the crew arrives for any of our cleaning services.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit in the gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots on every window it wets, and those spots come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass. If your home is one of these, plan for regular cleanings, three or four a year rather than two.
Watch for two signs that a house is due for clean windows and clear gutters. Windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain. Either sign means it is time 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.
We offer window cleaning services and gutter cleaning across the city, and we book from the estimate forward. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we will confirm a date. Lead time is set by the crew calendar, and we will tell you the date when you call. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our calendar is busiest during the two windows of the year when debris and leaves are heaviest. If you want a spot in those windows, book early. Our crew handles residential properties, and the same crew also does residential window cleaning and gutters and downspouts on homes in the area. We work on residential and commercial buildings, and commercial work is quoted per building.
We remove dirt and runoff from the outside of the glass and the gutter run, and we haul the debris away rather than blowing it onto the lawn. For condos, multi-story buildings and washing services that serve several units, we can schedule one visit to cover the building.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. The same two people do both jobs, so you deal with one company.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number on the phone.
Yes, because the outside carries rain dust and sprinkler spots. These build on the glass between visits and are not removed by cleaning the inside. Outside glass is what we clean on this visit.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall. Spring takes the bloom drop and fall takes the leaf load. Call (866) 435-6328 to get a slot in the window that suits your house.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside. Large panes such as picture windows are cleaned from outside in the same visit. None of this is billed as an extra.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, with purified water rather than household cleaning solutions. We do not clean the windows inside, so the interior and exterior of the house are not covered by one visit. We also do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home, and the crew does not come inside. Turn sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
