Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price both jobs by the number of stories, and booking them together costs less than two separate trips. Most of our Wilkinsburg customers book us for the spring and fall visits, when the seed and leaves are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and a rough window count, and we will give you 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.
We price gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Gutter work and window washing go on one quote, so our washing services for the glass and the gutters come to a single number. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge for both cleanings, so tell us your stories and window count and you will know the total before the crew is scheduled.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day, and that holds for our window cleaning services as well as the gutter work. A steep roof or a third story takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a large window count add to the glass work. Grime that has built up on the glass over a season takes longer than a light film. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before the flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the count too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because cleaning alone does not remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Wilkinsburg job, the first thing we ask is how many stories the house has and whether the gutters are visible from the ground. A photo of the front of the house sent by text helps us see the roofline and the window layout before we talk numbers. Quotes for interior and exterior glass are separate, so the inside of the picture windows you may have is not part of this visit, but the outside of every window is included, including the picture windows that face the street. Our crew does not do pressure washing on this visit, so the siding and walkways stay as they are. If your home has a lot of glass or the gutters are overdue, we will say so on the phone instead of surprising you on the ladder.
For a Wilkinsburg house we have cleaned recently, the quote moved because of the stories and the window count, plus a gutter run that was packed with leaves and had not been opened in a long time. The crew cleared it, flushed every downspout and rinsed the glass in the same visit, and the price was set before work began. Homes on regular cleanings usually take less time, because there is less built-up debris to clear. Tell us what you see on your own roof 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.
Most of our Wilkinsburg customers book the window and gutter visits twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring the pollen settles as a film on the south-facing glass and as a paste inside the clogged gutters, and the downspout elbows fill with seed and grit. Left in the gutter, that paste can lead to water damage at the fascia. In fall the leaf load comes down all at once, and wind or storm seasons can move the dates by a week or two in either direction.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts 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 sills, and the windows inside pick up some of it when they are left open. Multi-story buildings need more ladder time, and residential and commercial buildings on the same street see the same leaf load, so the slot is booked with that in mind. We see these three cases most often in the homes that book three or four times a year.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the sky. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, instead of running down the downspout. When a film has dried on the frames, the crew uses cleaning solutions on that film, not just water. If you see either one, call us and we will schedule the visit.
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 cleans gutters and windows across Wilkinsburg, and the cleaning services come from one crew on one truck. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we book a slot once we have your stories. Lead time depends on the season, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop. A clean front of glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal, which is why most people book both in one visit. We call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
We work with professional window cleaning crews that use water-fed poles and purified water, so the glass dries without streaks. Every window on the outside of the house is reachable from the ground or the pole, and the sill is wiped as part of the visit. Booking is simple: give us the stories, the rough window count and a photo of the front, and we will confirm the slot and the price in the same call. Our window cleaners work from the same truck for both gutters and glass, which is why the bundle saves a second trip.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both, in one visit. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so that dirty runoff does not end up on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, since we price residential properties that way, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without knowing the stories and window count.
On the outside, a residential window in Wilkinsburg collects rain dust, sprinkler spots and grit, which the inside never sees. Cleaning the outside separately keeps the frames and sills from holding that film.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, after the spring season and again after the leaves drop. Condos get the same spring and fall timing, though a shared roof line changes how many gutter runs there are to clear. Tell us your house and we will suggest the timing that fits.
No, we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Gutter water and grit run down the wall and across any window below, so the glass waits until the runs are flushed and the crew has had a chance to remove dirt from the siding.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. They are not billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
