Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Troy jobs, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, which is when leaves and grit build up the most.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and each residential window counts toward the quote. Booked together in one visit, both jobs cost less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Window washing and washing services are quoted as one job. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes add time on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles, leaves and grime, need more work. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, and we will tell you so. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The quote covers the outside of the house only, since interior and exterior glass are not the same job.
Residential and commercial jobs both start with the same photo. On our Troy jobs, the quote usually comes down to how many stories the house has and how many windows face the street. If you are unsure of the count, walk the outside of the house, count the panes, and text us a photo of the front. We use that to set the number before anyone books a date. Multi-story buildings with many picture windows and regular cleanings are quoted per building, with the same photo approach.
| 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 customers here book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, and one crew in one visit covers both. In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and a paste sits in the gutters. In fall, the leaf load comes down in a wet mat that leaves the gutters clogged and the downspouts blocked. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we book against what the house is doing, not a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and a gutter that stays clogged can lead to water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or construction picks up more dust on the frames, and rain alone will not remove dirt from them. We see these as the reasons for a third trip, and we tell you after the first visit which of them applies.
You will see when the windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will see when the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Either sign means it is time to book.
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 window cleaners work across Troy and handle residential properties and condos, along with commercial buildings, with the same process. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar, so to schedule service call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the first open date. Our schedule fills fastest in the two busy windows, spring and fall, so calling early gives you more choice of day.
When the crew is coming, we call before we arrive. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. Our window cleaning services cover every window on the outside of the house, with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and we schedule service around the weather so the glass dries clean. Professional window cleaning and gutter work done in one visit saves you a second setup and keeps the curb appeal of the house intact.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We work gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water does not land on clean panes.
We do not give a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before any work is booked.
Often yes. The outside of a window collects road dust, rain film and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up on the glass between visits, and they dull the view from indoors.
Most of our Troy customers book in the spring and in the fall. The spring visit clears the pollen, and the fall visit clears the leaves before winter.
No, because we clear the gutters and downspouts before we touch the windows. Gutter runoff would land on clean glass if the windows went first, so someone would have to wash them again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the outside of the house. None of these are billed as extras.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and the windows inside the house stay as they are. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing as part of a gutter and window visit.
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 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.
