Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book the work in the spring and fall, and that is the calendar we keep for Upper Saint Clair houses too. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and call (866) 435-6328 for the number on the phone.
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 a residential window and gutter job, we price by stories and approximate window count. Our washing services and gutter cleaning, bundled into one visit, cost less than two separate jobs booked on their own. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our crew sets the quote from the house in front of us, which is why we ask for the stories and a photo of the front before we commit to a time. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will take the details from there.
Several things move the quote, and the crew sees each one on the day. Multi-story buildings, and any house with a third story or a roof too steep to walk, take more time on the ladder and the lift. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows, since a large pane takes longer to reach and dry cleanly. Window cleaning services are quoted from the window count, so a house with a lot of glass costs more than a small one. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take more hands and more buckets. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line sits on the glass in a way no cleaning removes. Cleaning the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job, so none of it is billed as an extra.
On our Upper Saint Clair jobs, the houses that come in with the most grime are the ones where the glass has gone a long time between cleanings, because the film builds up and needs more passes. Regular cleanings keep the work quicker and the outside of every window clearer between visits. If you can send us a photo of the house front by text and tell us the number of stories, we can usually give you an exact figure without a site visit. Ask for it in writing and we send it that way. This visit covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior glass is not what you are booking here.
| 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 Saint Clair book window and gutter work twice a year, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on this calendar. Across Pennsylvania, the spring visit falls late May to June. Our fall visit in Upper Saint Clair runs late October to November, and the dates shift a little with storm and wind seasons. In late spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters, and pollen film needs more than a rinse, which is where cleaning solutions come in. In fall the leaf load and wet leaf mats are what need clearing before the first hard freeze.
Some houses need a third visit, and we tell you that after we have seen the lot. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters push runoff over the edge and against the siding, which is how water damage starts. May, June and July are the wettest months here, with about 42 inches of precipitation a year, so a gutter that is clogged going into May will show it fast. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after a cleaning, which is a sign the line needs adjusting. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than a quiet street. A cleaning with a sprinkler on the list and a tree over the roof usually moves to a three or four visit schedule, and the crew says so on the first visit.
You will notice the glass needs attention when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low in the sky. You will notice the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign is a good reason to call. Snow falls here from November through March, about 32 inches a year, so the gutters need to be clear before the first hard freeze. Our crew checks both on every visit and writes down what it finds in the photo report, and the windows inside stay with you, since our visit covers the outside glass.
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 residential properties across Upper Saint Clair, and our cleaning services are quoted for houses. If the property is residential and commercial, mention it on the call, and we answer it there rather than guess. Our crew keeps the schedule full enough that most houses get a slot within a short wait. Booking starts with a quote by phone or by text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, then call (866) 435-6328 and we confirm the price and a date. Schedule service with us is simple, and the crew calls before it arrives so nobody is surprised at the door. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills fastest then. If you want a spot in those windows, book early. Outside those windows the lead time is shorter. The professional window cleaning we do is exterior only on this visit, and every window the crew can reach from outside gets done, including the sill and the frame, and the crew works to remove dirt from each one before it leaves.
We are one crew, not a franchise, so the people who quote the job are the people who climb the ladder. That keeps the curb appeal of the house the same from one visit to the next, and it keeps the notes on your house with the people who will be back next season. Our window cleaners work from the same photos we send you after each visit.
Yes. Our crew does both, and the same two people clean the gutters and downspouts 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 to you by phone or text. We do not work from a standard price sheet; call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and a photo of the front and you have the figure.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up here. Rain alone will not remove dirt from the glass, so the outside is what we clean.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in the fall, so those are the windows when our calendar fills. Booking early in those months gets you a date.
No, that is why it is gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black runoff come down the wall and across the windows below, so the glass waits until the gutters and downspouts are done.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are part of the visit. They are not billed as separate extras.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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 leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in one of the condos in a shared building, check with the association first, because the building may own the outside glass and the gutters.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
