Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Pennsylvania, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and the crew can give you a number from a photo of the front of the 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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Steep roofs and third stories take longer on the ladder. Oversized panes and picture windows add time at the glass, and so does a high window count. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more hands and more flushing. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and does not come off with a cleaning. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are never mixed into one quote, and this visit covers the outside only.
On a recent Willow Street job, the owner had the gutters full of seed and pollen paste on the back run, which is most of what moved the quote. The crew cleared the run, flushed every downspout until it ran clear, and then did the glass from the same ladder setup. The crew uses purified water on the glass with no cleaning solutions added, so the panes dry without streaks. Regular cleanings keep that buildup from settling in, so each visit is lighter than the one before. The same approach covers residential and commercial properties. To get a number for your house, text us a photo of the front with your stories counted and a rough window count, and we will quote it before we come.

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 both jobs twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them.
On our jobs, the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste sitting in the gutters. In fall, the leaf load is the thing we clear, and the storm and wind seasons can move the dates on either visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction often needs a third visit, and multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning.
Most of our customers who run a lot of glass or several stories book the same crew, the same day, so the cleaning services happen at one time. Our window cleaners pick the ladder setup once per side of the house. Professional window cleaning like this is the easiest way to keep curb appeal up without a second trip. Windows inside are a separate job we do not do on this visit.
The sign windows need it is haze you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain, which often means clogged gutters and water running down the wall toward the foundation. July, September and October are the wettest months here, at about 44 inches of precipitation a year, so that is when the sheeting and the water damage risk are highest.
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 have cleaned both gutters and exterior windows across Willow Street, and we work the city as a whole. Book by phone or text with your number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you a slot. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our calendar tends to fill in the two busy windows of the year, so it helps to book early. Most homes are done in one window and gutter cleaning visit, and every window on the outside is included. Residential properties are what we are set up for: each residential window gets cleaned from the outside, the sill is wiped as part of every job, and the clean windows are what you see from inside afterward. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm a date.
Yes, our crew does both in one visit. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and do the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not end up on clean windows.
The number comes from your stories and the size of the house, and the window cleaning services are quoted in the same number as the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front, and we will quote it before we come.
On the outside, pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up quickly here, and they are what you see through the glass. Cleaning the outside alone is a common and useful job, because it helps remove dirt and grime before it sits on the glass for months.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, after the leaves drop, whether they live in a house or in condos. Those are the two visits that keep the gutters flowing and the glass clear.
No, because the gutters are cleared and flushed before anyone touches the windows, so the runoff is gone before the glass is wet. Gutters first, glass last.
Screens are rinsed to take off the grime, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job. None of it is billed as an extra.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, and we do not offer pressure washing services.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
