Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof ends up on clean panes. 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 spring and fall, and the crew works the same way on every house.
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 window washing and gutters by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Professional window cleaning booked with the gutters costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure before anyone climbs a ladder.
On the day, the crew finds a handful of things that move the quote. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the boom or scissor lift. A large window count, or oversized panes, adds glass to wash, and that glass is most of the curb appeal the house shows the street. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear than a run that was cleaned last fall. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, because no cleaning removes it, and water damage from a leaking downspout is a repair, not a cleaning, so we flag it rather than quote it.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. We flush each downspout until the water runs clear, rinse the screens we take down, and wipe the sills, so none of that shows up as a line item later. Windows inside the house are not part of this price.
On one Upper Uwchlan job, the owner had a three-story house with a long back run and a row of tall picture windows. The gutters were the bigger part of the time, because the downspouts were packed and had to be cleared from above. Your number depends on the same things: the stories, the window count, and how long the gutters have gone without attention. Send us those details, or a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will tell you what we expect to find.

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.
Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book regular cleanings twice a year, in spring and in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Spring is when the seed and pollen drop, and in May we see the sticky seed paste packed into the downspout elbows and a film on south-facing glass. Fall brings the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skip the fall visit we see runs that sag under the weight of ice by winter.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates. A late tropical remnant can leave the gutters full of debris a few weeks early, so we schedule around the weather rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a film that returns faster than the glass around it. On those houses we suggest a third visit, and we say so on the first estimate.
Clean windows show the first sign, and every window on the house is worth a look: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, on the pane that catches the afternoon light. The gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge in a rain, instead of running down the downspout. Either sign means the visit is due.
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 Uwchlan, and at the moment we do not have neighborhood-level detail to add here, so this section covers the city as a whole. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text: tell us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate. Lead time is listed on the booking page. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not come inside.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when seed and leaf load both peak and our calendar fills. Booking early in those months gives you more choice of day. Our crews handle residential window washing services and window cleaning services for houses, and we also cover residential properties, including condos and multi-story buildings that need gutters and downspouts cleared on the same schedule. The order of work is the same for residential and commercial buildings, so a multi-unit building gets the same gutters-first routine as a single house.
A few things we do not do on this visit: we do not remove dirt from inside the glass, and we do not treat runoff problems in the drainage itself. If the crew finds a pulled hanger or a slope that sheds water, we photograph it and report it. We clean what is there and tell you what we see.
Yes. The same two people do both, and they work gutters first and glass last in one visit. That order keeps debris off the clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. The price on the page is a starting point, not a quote for your house.
Outside glass takes the dust film, grime and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and the inside does not carry any of those. Cleaning the outside alone is a complete job.
Most of our customers here book the spring cleanings in late May or June, and the fall cleanings from November to early December. Spring clears the pollen and seed, and fall clears the leaves before the first hard freeze.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the windows.
Screens we take down and rinse, and sills we wipe, as part of the job. Tracks are included in the exterior visit where they can be reached without tools inside the house.
Exterior windows only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass, we use no cleaning solutions on the glass, and we do not do pressure washing of siding or decks.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
