Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, after the seed and leaf drops, so the glass and the runs are clean when the weather turns.
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, which covers every window on the house that can be reached from outside. The bundle of window cleaning services and gutter work in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is built from those inputs and nothing hidden. Gutters and downspouts are cleared together, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves a quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means the ladder work takes longer. A high count of windows, or picture windows, adds time at the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before the water runs clear. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers does not come off with a standard cleaning, and we say so before anything is quoted for it.
For a Wilkes-Barre house, the fastest way to get the exact number is a text with the number of stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house. A cleaning in a condos complex, or a house where window washing and gutters both need a second look, is quoted from the same inputs. Runoff from the roof is the first thing we check, because it tells us which gutters are carrying the most grime and where the remove dirt step needs the most time. Our washing services are scheduled to match what the house needs, not a template.

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 Wilkes-Barre customers book regular cleanings twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Pennsylvania the pattern is the same: spring after the seed drop, fall after the leaves are down. Booking both jobs together keeps the window and gutter work on one schedule. This timing is written for homes; it is not a schedule for residential and commercial jobs.
At the spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. Stubborn film of that kind sometimes needs cleaning solutions on top of the water rinse, and the crew decides that on the glass. In the fall we find the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs and the grit that washes onto the sills. Storm and wind seasons can shift those dates by a few weeks, so we keep the calendar flexible rather than fixed.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loading between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames and on picture windows facing the street. For those, we plan the third visit at the start, not after the first one disappoints.
You will know windows need a cleaning when there is a haze you only notice with the sun low, and gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Those are the two signs we look for first on every call. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only.
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 does professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning across Wilkes-Barre. Many people looking for window cleaners here also have clogged gutters above the glass, and we work with homeowners who want both done together. Booking starts with a call or a text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, or call (866) 435-6328 and we come back with a quote. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we tell you the first open date when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring seed drop and the fall leaf drop. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so to schedule service in either one, book early in those months to keep your slot. Clean glass also helps curb appeal, since the windows are what the street sees first. Outside those windows, there is usually room. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew works the same way on a single-family house as on multi-story buildings, though the ladder work takes longer as the stories go up. Gutters and windows are handled in one visit so the glass stays clean after the runs are cleared. Our cleaning services do not cover windows inside, so the work focuses on what shows from the street and what keeps water out of the fascia, which is where the real cost of neglect shows up. Clogged gutters that overflow for years are the most common reason we see water damage at the eaves, and the fix starts with a clear run.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runs are clear before anyone touches the windows.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and for a residential window job we give it by phone or text. Send the story count and a photo of the front, and we return the exact figure before the crew is booked.
Clean windows on the outside matter most, since the outside carries grit, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up on the glass between visits and dull the view from the street.
Across Pennsylvania most customers book in the spring and the fall, after the seed and leaf drops. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service and get the first open date for your house.
No, we clear the gutters and downspouts first and do the glass last, so the runoff from the runs is done before the windows are touched. Doing it the other way round means washing the glass twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior visit, so the sill is not a separate charge. Tracks inside the frame are handled as part of the visit when they can be reached from outside.
This visit covers the exterior glass only, and we do every window that can be reached from outside. We do not do interior window cleaning or pressure washing, so those are not part of this booking.
On residential properties you do not need to be home for exterior work. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
