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 dirty runs back onto clean panes. 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. Our crew books this pairing most often in spring and fall.
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.
Our price for window washing comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking our window cleaning services together with gutter work in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Give us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we can tell you the exact figure before the crew is scheduled. We count every window when we quote.
What changes the quote is what the crew finds when it gets there. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and tall multi-story buildings with a lot of glass add time. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years, packed with grime, seeds and leaves, take longer to clear, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be flushed. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue. Ordinary washing can remove dirt from the glass, but it cannot remove the mineral sprinklers leave behind, and we say so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras.
On a recent Manhattan job, the quote moved because the house had a steep back roof and a run of gutters that had not been opened in several seasons. The crew cleared the packed run, flushed the downspouts until the water ran clear, and cleaned the exterior glass after the gutters were finished so runoff did not hit the new panes. The customer heard the number on the phone and saw the same number on the invoice. For a house or one of the condos in town, the fastest way to get an exact number is to text us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house.

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 Kansas, most of our customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. The same booking works for residential and commercial buildings. In late May or June, after the seed drop and pollen film have settled, the glass and the gutters both need a pass. In late October or November, after the leaves come down and before the first hard freeze, the gutters need clearing and the glass needs a final wash before winter.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In the spring, pollen forms a film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste in the gutters and downspout elbows. The film comes off with water, and we add cleaning solutions only where the frame needs them. In the fall, the leaf load becomes a wet mat that holds water against the fascia. Wind and storm seasons can move these dates, so we look at the house each time rather than working from a calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or active construction collects more dust on the frames. Those are the houses where we suggest an extra cleaning. Our crew also offers regular cleanings on a set schedule for customers who want the same crew on the same calendar every season, and we can set that up when you book. If you also want the interior and exterior glass done, that is a separate visit, since this one covers the exterior only.
You will see when windows need cleaning when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 Manhattan and serves residential properties throughout the city rather than a single neighborhood list. To schedule service, start with an estimate by phone or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you the price and the next open date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since we do not clean windows inside the house, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. Our calendar fills during those weeks, so the sooner you call, the better your chances of getting the date you want. Outside those windows, we often have more room. We provide cleaning services for homes, and our window cleaners handle each residential window on the exterior in one visit with the gutters.
Our approach is professional window cleaning done on a schedule you can plan around. We pay attention to curb appeal, which is one reason the glass gets cleaned after the gutters are finished. We also look for signs of water damage from clogged gutters that overflow onto the fascia, and we report what we see in the photos before we leave.
Yes, window and gutter cleaning is the same job for the same crew. We clear the gutters first and clean the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not end up on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and the approximate window count, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will quote it before we schedule.
For most residential window setups here, yes. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the outside of the glass, and the inside will not reveal them. Our crew cleans every window on the exterior and checks the sill and frame as it works.
Our customers here book in late spring and late fall, and those are the windows when our calendar fills. To schedule service before the rush, call (866) 435-6328.
No. We do the gutters first, flush every downspout, and then clean the glass, so nothing runs back onto the panes after they are done.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job, and they are not billed as extras. Ask us when you book if you have a specific concern.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work are booked separately. We do not do pressure washing on this visit either, so we keep the scope clear before the crew arrives.
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 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.
