Yes, 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 both jobs together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this service in the spring and fall, when the glass and the gutters both need it 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.

On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story or a steep roof that needs a boom or scissor lift, a high count of window panes, oversized panes such as picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is another one, and cleaning will not remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
On our Auburn jobs, clogged gutters often sit beside windows that are showing water damage at the sill, and the crew points that out in the photo report. The window washing and the gutter work are measured together, so the number reflects the whole house, and our window cleaning services are quoted that way too. Professional window cleaning on multi-story buildings and tall homes takes the same crew and the same ladder setup, which is why we ask for stories first. Curb appeal is a common reason our customers book, but the real test is the photo we send afterward. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and an estimate of the window count.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |

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 New York, most customers book two cleanings a year, one in late May to June and one in late October to November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the seed and pollen paste packs the gutters. In fall the leaf load is the main job, and it comes down onto the same glass below.
Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, and a hard blow in fall can drop a leaf load early. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road all need a third visit. Sprinkler spotting is the one that comes back a day after cleaning, which is why we check the sprinkler heads before we start.
Our cleaning services cover the residential window and residential properties we clean on this route, and we give you a schedule service date you can keep. Clean windows show a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and that is the sign the glass needs a visit. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in rain.
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 around Auburn and the neighborhoods we have already worked, and the crew knows the route before it leaves. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us, then give the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Lead time is shown on the booking page, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when pollen and leaf drop fill the calendar, so book early if you want a set day. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and the photos go to your phone before the truck leaves.
We clean gutters and downspouts on the same route, and that covers the runoff from the roof onto the walk. We serve residential and commercial properties on the same route, and condos get the same visit, scheduled per building. We remove dirt and grime from the glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and we wash the frames and sills while the ladder is already there. We clean every window on the outside of the house in the same visit, and we quote interior and exterior glass as separate jobs, so this visit covers the exterior only. The job is set up for washing services that cover the whole house in one pass.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff 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 the crew books the day.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots on Auburn houses. Those build on the glass between visits, and they show more than the interior does.
Across New York, most homes book regular cleanings in late May to June and again in late October to November. Auburn follows the same fall window, and we can give you a date once we have the house details.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters runs down the wall and streaks it, which is the reason we keep the order fixed.
Screens are taken down, rinsed and put back. Sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit when they are reachable from the outside.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, so the windows inside the house are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing on a window and gutter visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
