Yes, the same two people on our crew clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Genesee customers book this in spring and fall, which is when spring film and leaves build up on both the glass and the gutters.
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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate jobs. Think of it as one bundle of window washing rather than two separate washing services. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our window cleaning services start with a quote for a residential window job, built on stories and window count, so the first step is simply telling us how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows face the outside.
On our jobs, a handful of things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and the lift. Oversized panes and picture windows take more care per pane. Heavy film takes more time too, because the crew has to remove dirt before the glass comes clean. Gutters packed with seeds, leaves and grime that have not been opened in years take longer to clear than a gutter cleaned last season. Condos with many small panes take more time than a single-family house with the same window count. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a treatment that cleaning alone does not remove. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our crew sees what the job calls for once the ladder is up, so we tell you about any change before work continues.
Runoff from a roof that drains onto a deck or a walkway is part of what we check on every run. If water is pooling where the gutters meet the downspouts, the crew flags it in the photos we send you. To get the exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and an estimated window count. For a house with trees over the roof or a busy road out front, a photo of the back and sides helps too, so we can see where the leaves and grit collect. We will also tell you if the job calls for a second visit later in the season.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Genesee customers book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs. Spring is when the pollen comes down: a yellow film settles on south-facing glass and a paste of pollen and seeds packs into the gutters and downspout elbows. Fall is when the leaf load arrives, and on the houses we clean in November the gutters are a wet mat that can sag under the weight of ice if nobody clears it. The picture windows on the south side catch the heaviest spring film, and on most glass we use purified water alone, adding cleaning solutions only where a film will not rinse off. We work on residential and commercial buildings alike, and the schedule here applies to both.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little from year to year. A heavy spring storm can drop a load of debris into the gutters right after we have cleared them, so we watch the weather and suggest a date that makes sense. Most of our customers stick with the same two months each year, and regular cleanings on that schedule let the crew pick up where the last visit ended, with notes kept on each house. Our visits cover the exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is always quoted as separate jobs.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves mineral spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the glass. For these we talk about adding a mid-season visit rather than waiting for the next spring or fall. Without those conditions, two cleanings a year is what we see most often.
You know the window needs cleaning when you see a haze on the glass that only shows up when the sun is low. The gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. If either of those shows up between visits, text a photo and we will tell you what we see.
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 clean gutters and windows for homeowners and property owners across Genesee, and our window cleaning services cover the whole city. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and the crew will give you a number before any date is set. Most estimates come back the same day, and the first open slot depends on the season, so ask us about lead time when you call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year, spring season and fall leaf season, are when our calendar fills fastest. If you want a specific week, book early in the month before. Our crew works from the ground and from a boom or scissor lift on multi-story buildings, and we use a water-fed pole for every window above the ground floor so no ladder rests against the siding. Clogged gutters and water damage often show up together, so if you have had either, mention it when you book and we will plan the visit around it.
We are a professional window cleaning crew that works with residential clients and property owners who want their curb appeal kept up year round. If you are trying to choose between companies, ask each one for a written estimate and compare the stories and window count they used. Our window cleaners carry their own gear and purified water, so nothing needs to be run off your hose. Windows inside stay out of the quote, since the visit covers the exterior only. If the crew finds anything that needs repair, we photograph it and report it, and we do not sell it on the spot.
Yes. On a residential window and gutter job, the same crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run back over clean glass. Booking both together means one setup and one trip.
For residential properties the number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text before a date is set. We do not quote a figure without knowing the house.
On our Genesee jobs the outside carries most of the spring film, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, so it gets dirty faster than the inside. We clean every window on the outside that we can reach safely, which keeps clean windows clear without touching the inside at all.
Most of our customers here book in spring, once the tree dust settles, and again in fall, after the leaves come down. To schedule service in those months, call (866) 435-6328 early, because the calendar fills.
No. Our crew clears the gutters and flushes every downspout first, then gives the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the glass. That order is the reason we do both jobs together.
Screens are rinsed and the sill is wiped as part of the exterior job. Tracks and heavy hard-water stains are a separate item, and we tell you the cost before the crew starts on them.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the glass only. We do not clean interior glass and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
