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 down onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this work in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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. Doing window and gutter cleaning together in one visit is cheaper than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We do not price interior and exterior work together because our crew works only on the outside of the house, so a photo of the front sent by text is usually enough to start the estimate.
What moves the quote shows up on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes the setup. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across New York the largest source of surprise is the size of the window panes. Oversized picture windows, condos and tall multi-story buildings take more time on a boom or scissor lift than a row of standard windows. We ask for the approximate window count and a photo of the front of the house so the first quote matches the work. Grime builds up fast in the warmer months, which is why many owners ask for a regular cleanings schedule rather than one visit a year. Tell us which windows face the road or the sprinkler line and we will mark them before we come, so the estimate reflects every window and the cleaning solutions we use on each pane.
| 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 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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 people book cleaning services twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall. On our jobs, the spring visit clears the pollen film from south-facing glass and the leaf paste from the gutters. The fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before the first freeze. Many of our customers in Beacon book both with the same window cleaners, since one crew doing both in a single visit is the simplest way to keep the schedule.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof fills the downspouts between cleanings, so those customers come back every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that return a day after cleaning, and those houses need the glass seen more often. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than a quiet street.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout, and left alone that spills into water damage on the siding below. Professional window cleaning and gutter work are often booked on the same day, and our crew can check both on the first visit and tell you which schedule your house needs, since clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal.
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 cleans gutters and windows throughout Beacon and works with residential properties, and we take on residential and commercial jobs alike, using the same careful setup for each. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with the number of stories. We confirm the arrival window before we come, and we call again when the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work because the crew does not come inside.
Lead time changes with the season. The spring and fall visits are the busiest windows of the year, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest and the calendar fills quickly. Book early for those months and we will hold a date for you. Outside those months it is usually easier to schedule service on short notice.
We handle every residential window on the outside of the house, from the first floor to the top story, and we clean the sills and frames at each pane. Our goal is clean windows and clear gutters with no missed run. If something cannot be reached safely, we photograph it and tell you so.
Yes. Our crew does both as part of our washing services, so one visit covers the gutters and the outside of the windows. Gutters go first, glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote from a fixed chart.
Yes. Grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside, and a cleaning is the only way to remove dirt from the outer pane even when the inside is clean.
Most of our Beacon customers book in the spring and in the fall, which is when the leaves are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 to hold a date.
No, because we clear the gutters first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutter run splashes it again, so that order is the one we keep.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior job. Track cleaning is included when it is reachable from outside.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only. Windows inside the house are not part of the job, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
