Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the debris from the roof never lands on clean glass. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall seasons, and most of the West Hanover homes we visit book both in the same appointment.
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 our professional window cleaning and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and bundling both jobs into one visit costs less than booking them separately. A window washing quote from other window cleaners on its own leaves the gutters out, so compare the two-job price. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is built from those inputs before the crew is scheduled. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate from the same two measures.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. Multi-story buildings and a roof too steep to walk slow the crew down, and so does a walk-out basement that puts the back run far up the wall. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive with a lot of work in them, and clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves take longer to empty than light debris does. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and window count matters most when there are oversized panes or many small windows on upper floors. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it. Gutters that overflow for long stretches can also lead to water damage at the fascia, so we note that on the estimate.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We flush each downspout until it runs clear, rinse the screens we remove, and wipe the sills as the crew works, so the final figure covers the whole visit. Quotes cover the outside glass only, so the windows inside stay out of the price. Where a house has built-up grime on the glass or the gutters, we say so in the estimate rather than adding it later, and clean gutters and glass do a lot for curb appeal.
A steep back roof under heavy tree cover is the setup that most often pushes a quote above the front-of-house photo, because an overhanging canopy fills the back run with wet leaves that the crew has to clear by hand. That is the kind of detail we want to see in a photo before the visit, so the number holds up on the day. Text a photo of the front and back of your house, the stories, and a rough window count, and we will tell you what we expect the job to involve.
| 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 West Hanover customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Residential properties here tend to follow that pattern, because the gutters and the residential window count stay about the same from one season to the next. Each visit covers both gutter and window cleaning services, and the crew can reach every window and every run from one setup. Spring visits fall in late May to June, and fall visits run from late October to November, so the dates follow the seasons rather than a fixed schedule.
In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and a paste of seeds packed into the gutters, and the downspout elbows are often blocked too. In fall the work is the wet leaf mat that settles in the gutters and the grit left on windows over the summer. Storm seasons, with tropical remnants moving across Pennsylvania, can shift the dates, so we schedule service around the weather and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit, and we see the same cases each year. A roof under heavy tree cover fills the gutters faster between visits, a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames. We will tell you after the first visit which of those applies to your house.
The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Clean windows hold their look for a while, so a haze that shows up between visits is the first sign the glass needs a call. The sign that gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain instead of falling into the downspout. Either one is a reason to book a visit, and a photo texted to us is enough to tell which it is.
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 across West Hanover, and we offer window cleaning services alongside gutter work on the streets throughout the town. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, which covers the washing services and the gutter runs on your house before a date is set. Lead time depends on the season and our calendar, and we confirm the date with you before the crew is scheduled. The busiest windows of the year are the spring bloom period and the fall leaf drop, when the calendar fills and it is worth booking early.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. The crew works outside, does not come into the house, and calls before arriving. The crew also checks gutters and downspouts on each run before it moves to the glass. If the schedule changes because of rain or wind, we call again rather than leaving you waiting. Once the job is done, the photos of each run and the finished glass go to your phone before the crew leaves.
Condos and multi-unit buildings usually need the same approach, with access arranged ahead of the visit so the crew can reach every window and gutter run. We clear the runoff path at each downspout so water does not pool at the foundation, and we remove dirt from the frames and sills as part of the job. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house, and we will tell you what access is needed and book a date.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We work gutters first and glass last, so debris from the roof does not run down onto windows we have already cleaned. The glass is rinsed with purified water, so no cleaning solutions go on it.
We do not give a figure on this page because the number depends on 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 from those details, which work the same for residential and commercial buildings, before we schedule anything.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the grime in West Hanover, including pollen film in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. The inside can stay as it is, and the outside still changes how the house looks from the street.
Most of our customers here book two cleanings a year, in spring and in fall, when the leaf loads and grit are at their heaviest. Many set up regular cleanings on that schedule, and booking early is worth it because those are the busiest windows on our calendar.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. If the windows were cleaned first, the run-off from the gutters would hit them again, which is the reason we keep the order fixed.
Screens we remove are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Picture windows are reached from the outside with the pole, and tracks are included in the visit when they are reachable from the outside.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior glass are never on the same appointment, and we do not do pressure washing either. If you need interior glass done, tell us when you call and we will say what we can offer.
No, you do not need to be home, because the crew works outside and does not come inside. Turn the 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.
