Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing falls back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the 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 work in spring and fall, and the number we quote on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us for your price.
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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely, and a residential window set high on the wall takes the same care. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more hands and more bags. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Many of our customers ask about window washing when they first call, and the answer depends on what the glass has picked up. Our window cleaning services cover the exterior panes, frames and sills, and the washing services use purified water so the glass dries clean. Some customers ask whether interior and exterior glass come as one price. Our quote covers the exterior only, and interior glass is not part of it. Grime that builds up along the bottom of picture windows gets the same attention as the rest, and most of our customers keep up with regular cleanings to hold the glass in good shape between seasons. To get your exact number, send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. We will come back with a price before anyone is on a ladder.

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.
Most of our Buffalo customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on a normal house.
In spring we find pollen on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed into the gutters. A pollen film on the windows is a window and gutter problem that shows up together, and the cleaning solutions we use are chosen for it. In fall it is the leaf load in the gutters and downspouts, and any house that skipped that visit tends to show water damage at the fascia by the next thaw. Storms and wind move both dates in some years, so we book from the weather rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loading between visits, and clogged gutters overflow in the first heavy rain. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets a film on the windows faster than others. We see these conditions on our residential and commercial jobs alike, and the multi-story buildings we clean follow the same pattern.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 cleaning services reach the neighborhoods of Buffalo on a regular route, and the crew knows the houses on it. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a slot. Our window cleaners schedule service from a calendar set in advance, so the time between your call and the visit depends on the week.
Two stretches of the year fill the calendar faster than the rest, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and booking early in those windows keeps your date. Professional window cleaning on the exterior takes less time than most people expect, and nobody needs to be home for it. We call before we come, and we will tell you if the schedule has to move. Every window on the outside of the house gets done in the same pass, so you are not left with a clean front and a dirty side, and the curb appeal holds up from the street.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first and the glass last. That order keeps the runoff off clean panes.
The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Text us those and a photo of the front of the house, or call, and we give you the figure before we book.
On our Buffalo jobs the outside carries most of the weight: rain dust and sprinkler spots build up there, not inside. Cleaning the outside alone is a sensible first visit for most residential properties, and it is the quickest way to remove dirt from the glass. Condos can book the same exterior visit when the crew can reach the gutters and glass from outside.
Our customers here book in spring and fall. Late spring and early fall are the busy stretches, so book early in those windows to keep your date.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. Runoff from a cleared run comes down the wall, so the glass is left until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included in the same pass.
We clean the exterior only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing.
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.
