Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, our crews book this bundle most often in spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and an approximate window count, and we will quote the number on the phone, the same number you see on the invoice.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and an approximate window count. Doing both 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 the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window counts with oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Pollen is the reason many Centereach customers book the glass with the gutters. The film it leaves on the outside of the windows and the paste it packs into the gutters arrive in the same weeks, so one visit covers both. Our crew handles the gutter and window cleaning together and works from the roof down. Cleaning solutions are chosen to remove dirt and grime from the glass, not for the gutters, and the runoff from the gutters is never allowed to reach the clean panes.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows face outside. For a house with many large panes, our crew will count the picture windows and sliding doors on the walk-around. Residential and commercial jobs are quoted the same way, by building, and the figure is set before anyone climbs a ladder. Regular cleanings keep the quote lower over time, because there is less to remove each visit.
| 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 gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. In Centereach the spring visit falls late May to June and the fall visit November to early December. On our jobs, cleaning services are most needed at those two points because the calendar lines up with the weather. Window cleaners see it on the glass: the pollen film on south-facing panes is thickest in the spring window, and the leaf load in the gutters peaks just before the first snow.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring the gutter elbows hold seeds and pollen paste, and the windows carry a yellow haze that is worst on the sunny side of the house. In late fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag under the weight of ice by winter, and a run that overflows in the thaw is a route to water damage. Storms and wind move the dates, so a nor'easter in late fall can push the visit forward by a few weeks.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means clogged gutters through the summer, and needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so those customers are on every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round white spots that come back a day after cleaning, which is mineral, not dirt. A multi-story building near a busy road or a construction site gets dust on the glass faster than the calendar suggests. Professional window cleaning on those houses is scheduled around the water, not the date on the calendar.
You will see when the windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low, and it wears down curb appeal faster than most owners expect. You will see when the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. If you are not sure, text us a photo and we will tell you which one it is.
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 residential properties, condos and buildings across Centereach, and the crew is scheduled by stories and window count rather than by street. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the estimate and a visit date. Lead time depends on the season, and the busy windows in spring and fall fill first, so it helps to book early. When the calendar is full in those weeks we say so on the phone and give the next open date rather than promising one we cannot keep.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside, and we call before we arrive so you know the window of the visit. For a residential window and gutter cleaning visit, the only preparation is to turn off sprinklers the night before and leave the side gate unlocked. For a commercial building, the site contact confirms access and parking in advance. Either way, every window and every gutter run is photographed and sent to you before the crew leaves.
Our work covers the full exterior of multi-story buildings, including the sill of each window, the trim above it, and the clean edge where glass meets frame. Schedule service through the phone or text line and the crew will keep the same two people on your house for the whole visit, so the glass and the gutters are finished in one pass. Interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs, so ask about both when you call.
Yes. Our window cleaning services include the gutters, and it is the same two people on the ladder, so there is no second trip.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front and we will tell you the figure.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here: pollen, dust and sprinkler spots. Clean windows outside let more light in than clean glass inside, so the outside is usually the first place we are called.
Our Centereach customers book in the late May to June window and the November to early December window, before the busiest weeks fill.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff from the gutters is finished before any glass is touched.
Screens are rinsed and sills wiped as part of our washing services, and tracks are included on most houses.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house or pressure wash to remove dirt on the gutter and window visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
