Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first, glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price it by stories and approximate window count, and two jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book both in spring and again in fall, and the outside glass is what gets the most attention on a home like yours.
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.
The price depends on how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries. Give us those two things, or call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote the number by phone. The number we quote is the number on the invoice. Residential and commercial jobs are quoted the same way, from the stories and the window count. Booking gutters and windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the saving is shown on your estimate.
On our jobs the things that change the quote are predictable. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and large panes take more time per pane than standard sash windows. Gutters that have not been opened in years come out packed with leaves and needles and need more hands. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler heads is a separate problem that cleaning will not remove, so we flag it on the visit and quote it separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Cleaning solutions we use on the glass are chosen for exterior work, and the rest of the crew's routine is the same on every house. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only. Regular cleanings use the same count of stories and windows, so a repeat visit starts from the same quote basis. We do not sell cleanings by the square foot.
| 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 of our customers book both jobs twice a year, once in late May or June and once in late October or November, so one crew and one visit fits the calendar. If you are comparing window cleaners or cleaning services in Brookhaven, those two windows are when professional window cleaning does the most good. They fall after the seed drop and before the leaves are gone.
In late spring we find a yellow pollen film on south-facing glass and seed paste packed into the gutter elbows. In late fall the leaf load is the problem, a wet mat that sits in the runs and backs water up under the shingles, and clogged gutters are the usual route to water damage at the fascia. Storm and wind seasons move the dates by a few weeks in either direction, so we book from the house, not the calendar.
Some homes need a third visit, and so do some multi-story buildings on our routes. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames. Those homes sit on three or four visits a year on our routes.
You can usually tell when windows are overdue by the haze you only notice when the sun is low. Dirty outside glass makes windows inside look hazy even when they are clean, and it hurts curb appeal before anything else. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. If either one shows up, call us and we will look at it on the next visit.
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.
Booking with us starts with a phone call at (866) 435-6328 or a text. Tell us how many stories the house has and send a photo of the front, and we give you a number and a date. Lead time is shown on the estimate page for your address. Our crew works the window and gutter cleaning route across the city, and most residential properties on our list, condos included, get a visit in the spring and fall windows we already track. A residential window job on your house is quoted with the gutters, from the same count. Every window on the exterior goes into the count. We also clean commercial buildings, including multi-story buildings, on a set schedule, and the two routes run on the same calendar.
The busy weeks are the two windows of the year when seed and leaves are heavy. During those weeks our calendar fills, so the sooner you schedule service the better your chance of the slot you want. Outside those weeks there is usually room on short notice, and that is when clean windows are easiest to book.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and before we leave the truck you get photos of every gutter run and of the clean windows. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way and can move a car out of the driveway if the windows face it.
Yes. The same two people do both on your house in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the runs never reaches clean panes.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and our window cleaning services are quoted that way. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure before anyone comes out.
Usually yes on a Brookhaven house. The outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and the grime on it is the first thing to remove dirt from. Clean inside glass with dirty outside glass still looks hazy when the sun comes through.
Across New York, the usual months are late May or June and late October or November, and our customers book in those windows. Those are the times when the seed and leaves are heaviest on the glass and in the gutters.
No, because we clear the gutters and downspouts before we touch any glass. Gutters first, glass last keeps the runoff from washing down onto panes we have already done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior visit. Tracks that need more than a wipe are called out before we start.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. Our washing services do not include the windows inside the house or pressure washing, and we will tell you if something on the outside needs a different service.
No, 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 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.
