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 down onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across New York, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up fastest.
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. The bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves it on our jobs is a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a typical job the quote shifts most with how far the crew has to reach from the ground and how much packed debris sits in the elbows. A house with a flush front and a clean run needs far less time than one where the back run sits up high off a walk-out basement. The crew photographs the back of the house and the gutter runs on the first visit so you can see what drove the number.
For a Brooklyn quote, we want the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Our window and gutter cleaning work runs on the same schedule for every job, with one crew and one visit, so the number you hear is the number on the invoice. Pollen is the thing most people underestimate, since it builds into a paste in the gutters and a film on south-facing glass. Our cleaning solutions are chosen for the glass and the gutter material, not for the cheapest run. Residential and commercial properties are quoted on the same basis, by stories and size, and we give you one number before anyone climbs a ladder.
Some houses get a second visit because of a sprinkler line or heavy tree cover, and we say so in the estimate rather than after. For regular cleanings on a home with the same layout, the second quote is usually lower since the crew already knows the house. Picture windows take longer per pane, which is part of why the window count matters more than the pane count. We do not clean the inside of the glass on this visit, so interior and exterior work is never folded into the number. Call (866) 435-6328 for a written estimate if you want the breakdown before you book.

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 these cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Spring visits in late May and June clear the seed and pollen that packs the downspout elbows, and the pollen film that settles on south-facing glass. Fall visits in late November and December clear the wet leaf mat before the freeze, which matters because ice in clogged gutters is how they sag by March.
Most of the people who call us have houses with some tree cover, and our crew sees the same things on those jobs every season. Heavy cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and those houses are on every three to four months. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than a quiet block, so the glass needs professional window cleaning more often. Our crew asks about all three on the first call. Multi-story buildings get the same gutter-first order, and the number of stories is what drives the quote.
We would rather you call us when you see the sign than wait for a schedule. Haze on the windows that you only notice when the sun is low is the sign the glass is overdue, and clean glass keeps the curb appeal up between visits. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in the rain means the run is blocked, and clogged gutters need a visit now. Left alone, that water finds the fascia and the siding, and water damage follows. Windows inside the house are a separate job and are not part of this visit. Schedule service ahead of the busy windows so the calendar does not fill before you can get a slot.
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 windows and gutters across Brooklyn on residential properties, and every residential window job is booked the same way for each house. You call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate before a crew is scheduled. Lead time depends on the season and is confirmed when you book. In the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, our calendar fills faster, so booking early keeps your preferred date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we arrive so you know the window. The window and gutter cleaning visit covers every exterior pane we can reach from the ground or the pole, and the gutters are cleared before the glass is touched. We are window cleaners first, and the gutters go on the same visit. Clean windows on the outside are the part people notice first from the street.
If you have a multi-unit building or a set of residential properties on one block, tell us when you call so we can plan the route. Condos are booked the same way as a house, by stories and window count. We book each house as its own quote and schedule service in order of the route, not by how many calls we get. Every window on the house is counted in the estimate, including the upper floors reached from the pole, and the sill below each one is wiped as part of the job.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We clean the gutters first and then the glass, so the water from the roof does not end up on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text. Send the stories and a photo of the front and you will have a figure before we book.
On Brooklyn houses the outside carries most of the grime, from pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the outside is where the visible dirt builds up first. The outside is where we remove dirt on this visit, and condos get the same exterior-only visit, priced by stories and window count.
Our customers here usually book in late spring and in late fall, and we can give you the dates that are still open when you call at (866) 435-6328.
No. Gutters and downspouts go first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof is rinsed away before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are part of the window work on the exterior, so none of that is billed as an extra.
Our window cleaning services cover the outside of the glass only on this visit, and we do not clean the inside panes. Pressure washing is not part of our washing services, so siding, decks and driveways are left as they are.
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. The crew sends photos of every run and downspout before it leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
