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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through spring and fall, and that is when most of our Garden City customers book it.
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.
Window washing in Garden City is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your story count and a rough window count, and we will call back with a quote before anyone is scheduled.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote more than anything else. A third story, multi-story buildings or a roof too steep to walk mean the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder, and that takes longer. For a residential window job, the count matters, and oversized picture windows are slower than four standard panes. Clogged gutters are another driver, especially when they are full of seed pods and leaf mat that have packed into the elbows. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the last one: it is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit and quote the treatment separately.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the professional window cleaning job. We do not bill them as extras. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and what we do not do on this visit is clean windows inside, so the price covers the exterior glass and the gutters only.
On city-scope data we would name a supplied Garden City case here with its link and what moved its quote. Without a supplied case, we write about how to get an exact number: stories, window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. A quote on the phone takes about ten minutes, and it will be the number we charge when the crew finishes.

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 Garden City customers book our cleaning services twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and one crew in one visit covers both. What we find at each visit follows the seasons. In spring the pollen film sits on the south-facing glass, and packed seed mat fills the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load that fills the runs and the wind-driven debris that lands on the sills. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we book the visit against what the house actually looks like rather than a fixed calendar. Regular cleanings in spring and fall keep up with most houses, and we try to clean every window on the house on the same visit so the whole glass line gets done at once.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. Condos near a busy road or an active construction site get a dusting that a twice-a-year schedule will not keep up with. If your lot has one of those conditions, we will say so after the first visit and suggest a schedule that fits it.
Two signs tell you the glass needs attention before the next scheduled visit. The first is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The second is water sheeting over the edge of the gutter during rain, which means the runs are holding debris or the slope has changed, and it can lead to water damage at the fascia if it is left. Either one is a reason to schedule service early rather than wait for the calendar.
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 residential properties and commercial buildings across the Garden City area. Our window cleaning services cover residential and commercial work alike, and our crew works the same way on each. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and it calls before it arrives. Booking starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, using your story count and a photo of the house front. From there we set a date and call the morning of the visit.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when leaves and spring debris are heaviest and our calendar fills first. Book early in those months and you get the date you want. Outside those windows there is more room, and a slot usually comes up sooner. We do not promise same-day or next-day service, so we give you the lead time when we quote.
Washing services like ours are only worth the time when the glass and runs are clear of grime and runoff, and that means the gutters and downspouts get cleared first. Once the gutters and downspouts are done, the exterior glass is the last step, and that is where we remove dirt the runs left behind. Clean windows show what is behind them, and the dirt you notice on the outside of a window usually came down the wall from a clogged run above it.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and debris from the runs do not land on clean panes.
We do not quote a fixed figure on this page. The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text once we have those. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will return a written estimate.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting that build up between visits. Those are the marks you see first on a sunny morning. On our jobs, cleaning the outside alone adds real curb appeal to a house, and it shows from the street.
Most of our Garden City customers book in late spring, after the bloom is over, and again in late fall, after the leaves come down. Those are the two busy windows, so an early booking gets you the date you want.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters, flush every downspout, let the wall drip, and only then clean the glass. Doing it the other way round means washing the same window twice.
Screen rinsing, sill wiping and track clearing are part of the exterior job, and the glass itself is done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions. They are not billed as separate items, so the number we quote covers them.
No. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers exterior glass only. We do not clean the inside of the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. If you need either, tell us when you call and we will let you know who to contact.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list. Our crew sends photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
