The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price both by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing the two together costs less than booking them as separate trips. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book the combined visit in spring and fall, and that calendar holds here too. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and you will get the number we will charge before we arrive.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. The bundle, gutters and exterior glass in one visit, costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Oversized picture windows and panes set high in multi-story buildings take more time per pane. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning alone, and we tell you that before we start.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Gutter cleanings and exterior window work on the same house are one visit, and the cost of the two together is what you see on the phone.
The experience on our West Lampeter jobs is that most quotes move on the same few details, so the fastest way to get an exact number is to send us the stories, a window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text. Pollen film on the glass and packed gutter elbows are normal in the spring visit, and the cleaning solutions for both are included. This price covers the outside only, so interior and exterior glass are never bundled into one figure. We do not quote a figure from a photo alone when the back of the house is not visible, so we say what we need to see.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will send a written estimate by stories, window count and gutter length before we book a date.

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 Lampeter customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In the spring the pollen drops, the glass goes hazy, and the gutter elbows fill with seed and pollen paste. In the fall the leaf load builds, and the wet leaf mat, with the grime under it, is the thing that makes water sheet over the edge in the first big rain.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction tends to need a third visit. The spots from sprinklers are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and they are the clearest sign the glass needs a mineral treatment rather than another pass.
Professional window cleaning services and regular cleanings on a set schedule keep the outside glass from building film between visits, and the gutters from holding the runoff that stains siding. Clogged gutters and downspouts that have sat full through a season are a common route to water damage at the fascia, and a cleaning in late fall is the cheapest insurance we can point to.
You know exterior glass needs cleaning when you see haze only at low sun, and that haze is the first thing that takes the curb appeal off a clean-looking house. Haze on windows inside the house is a different problem, and this visit does not cover it. You know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain, or when the downspout runs in a stream and then stops. Both are reasons to call before the next visit, not after.
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 clean the outside of each residential window and gutter run across West Lampeter, from older homes to newer residential properties, and we take both residential and commercial buildings. Commercial work is booked on its own schedule. Our crew works from the outside, and nobody needs to be home for the visit. The estimate comes by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the date once the figure is agreed.
Lead time is set by the calendar, and the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, fill first. If you want the combined window and gutter cleaning in one visit, book early in the season so the date holds. We call before we come, and we text the day before with a two-hour arrival window.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will confirm a slot and send the written estimate. The crew leaves the clean windows and the gutters running clear, with photos sent after. Every window on the list is reached from the pole or the ladder that suits the height, and any sill that needs a wipe is part of the same visit.
Yes. Our window cleaners run gutter washing services and the exterior glass work as one crew on one visit, and we do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean panes.
We do not give a range here. The number comes from stories and window count, and condos are quoted the same way once we see the building. You get it by phone or text before we book.
On our West Lampeter jobs the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust, and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dirty from the street long before it looks dirty from the room. Cleaning the outside is how you remove dirt and grime that the weather leaves behind.
Our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, and we keep both windows open for the combined visit.
No. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed first, and the glass is done last, so the runoff stops before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this visit. Exterior glass only.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
