The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass never gets washed twice. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves come down and the glass shows 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.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle 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. Our crew sets the figure from the house itself, not from a generic rate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A high count of windows, or oversized panes, adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more work before any water runs through them. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate problem that no cleaning removes. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so they add nothing to the number. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Bellmore jobs, the homes that cost more usually have window washing added to a longer gutter run, because a house with a lot of glass and clogged gutters needs both done carefully. Window cleaners who only do glass often leave the gutter line to someone else, but a clean gutter line does as much for curb appeal as clear panes do. Professional window cleaning on multi-story buildings and on older houses with water damage at the sills takes more time, so we measure before we quote. If you want the exact number, send us the stories and a rough window count, and text a photo of the front of the house. We will tell you what the house needs before the crew is booked.

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 both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and one crew in one visit makes sense for that schedule. Our cleaning services follow the same dates. In the spring a film settles on south-facing glass and fine debris packs the gutters. In the fall the leaf load comes down and sits in the runs until the first hard freeze.
What we find at each visit is what sets the rhythm. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, and across New York a nor'easter can leave debris in the gutters that was not there a month before. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road usually need a third visit, because the spots that return a day after cleaning are a sign the glass needs attention.
For residential properties, the frequency is the same, and the glass shows it first. A residential window with a film on it usually means the rest of the house is due too, because every window on the same side collects the same film. Clean windows let you see the haze that only appears when the sun is low, which is the sign that the glass is due. Gutters tell you the same way: water sheeting over the edge in the rain means the runs are full. Most homes need one visit a year on a light lot and two or more under trees, because regular cleanings matter most where the leaves fall on the roof. Schedule service ahead of the busy weeks so your slot is set before the calendar fills, and the sill gets the same wipe as the glass.
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 works across the neighborhoods of Bellmore, and we describe the work the same way wherever the house sits. Booking starts with an estimate: call (866) 435-6328 or text us, tell us the number of stories, and send a photo of the house front. We need those two things to set the time and the crew, and most of the scheduling conversation happens in one call.
Lead time depends on the season. The two busy windows of the year, spring pollen and fall leaves, are when our calendar fills fastest, so book early if you want a particular week. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you know when the ladders are going up. The crew does not come inside the house.
We work on residential and commercial properties alike, and we also service condos and multi-story buildings in the same area, each scheduled on its own terms. Grime on the glass and runoff from the roof are the usual problems, and we clear gutters and downspouts and remove dirt from both in one visit. Our window cleaning services and washing services are the same crew, so the bill and the schedule stay in one place.
Yes. Our crew does the gutters first and then the glass, in one visit, so the window cleaning and the gutter cleaning are the same people on the same ladder.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it over the phone or by text. Send us the stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number we will charge.
On our Bellmore jobs, the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dull from inside even when the inside is clean. Large picture windows show that film the most. Cleanings of the outside clear that film, so the glass looks right from inside too.
Across New York, spring visits land in late May to June. Fall visits in Bellmore run from November to early December.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves and the black water come down before anyone touches the windows. If the glass were washed first, someone would have to wash it again before we leave the ladder.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are done with plain purified water, so no harsh cleaning solutions go on the glass or the trim. Those are not billed as extras.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only, so the interior glass is not part of it. We do not do pressure washing on this visit either, so the inside of your home stays as it is.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
