The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff off the panes we just washed, and it means you book one crew instead of two.
We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing both jobs in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give you by phone is the number we charge. Most of our customers book spring and fall.
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 for gutter and window cleaning in Central Islip depends on the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we quote it by phone or text from those two numbers. Booking both jobs in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately, and the figure we give you on the phone is the figure on the invoice. Ask for the exact number before the crew is scheduled, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through it with you.
On our jobs, four things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes the ladder work. A large window count, or oversized picture windows that need a boom or scissor lift, changes the glass work. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear than regular cleanings on a set schedule. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is a separate treatment, because no cleaning removes it. Every one of these cleanings is priced from the same two numbers.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the window and gutter job and not billed as extras. We flush every downspout until the water runs clear, and we rinse the screens we take down. Cleaning solutions for a greasy film are not part of a standard visit and are quoted before the crew starts. This quote covers the exterior glass only, so interior and exterior windows are never bundled into one number. Ask us about the remaining details on the phone so the quote covers the actual house.
Our Central Islip work is still building its local record, so we do not yet have a customer example to show here. What we ask for instead is the number of stories, the rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. With those three things we can give the number before anyone climbs a ladder, and it stays the number through the visit. Pollen and leaf film on the glass in spring and fall is one reason the job runs longer than a simple rinse, so we size the quote for the season you book in. Mixed residential and commercial frontage gets a phone quote before the visit, since the number depends on the stories and windows in front of us.

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 customers here book gutter cleaning and window cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. That rhythm fits the pollen that builds up on south-facing glass and in the gutters, and the leaf load that comes down in fall. Professional window cleaning in spring clears the film that settled over winter, and the fall visit clears the leaves before the first hard freeze. Some window cleaners quote the glass alone, so ask any crew about the gutters when you call.
At each visit we look for the same things. In spring the dust film sits on the glass and the seed paste packs the gutter elbows. In fall the wet leaf mat settles in the runs and leaves clogged gutters that hold water. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we confirm the timing when you book rather than working from a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit, including multi-story buildings with heavy tree cover over the roof. Needles and grit reach the downspouts between visits on those. 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 collects grime faster than the calendar suggests. On those houses we talk about a third visit after the first one, not before.
Watch for two signs between visits. Haze on the glass that only shows when the sun is low means the windows are due. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in rain means the run is blocked or the slope is off, and left alone it can turn into water damage on the fascia. Either one is a reason to call us early instead of waiting for the next scheduled date. Clean glass also does more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
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 window and gutter cleaning jobs for residential properties in Central Islip and the surrounding area, and we book the work by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we return an estimate with a window and gutter cleaning slot. A residential window job and the gutters are scheduled as one visit, so you do not need to coordinate two companies. Lead time depends on the season, so schedule service as early as you can.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when tree dust and leaves bring the most calls. Our calendar fills in those months, so the sooner you ask for a date, the better the chance of the slot you want. Outside those windows the calendar is usually more open. We call before we come, so there are no surprises at the door.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and it sends photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the truck leaves. The crew reaches every window on the outside of the house, and anything it cannot reach safely gets a note in those photos. We want clean windows at the end of the visit and the gutters left clear, and the schedule is set so both are done in one visit.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both. We clear the gutters first and then do the glass, so the dirty runoff does not land on panes we just washed. We book both as one of our washing services, so there is one visit and one invoice.
The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and our window cleaning services are quoted in the same call. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we quote it before the visit.
On a house or a condo, the outside carries the dust film, rain grime and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Those show through the glass regardless of how clean the inside is, and a cleaning is the way to remove dirt from the outside.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall. Those are the months when dust and leaf loads build up, so booking early in each season gives you the better slot.
No, because we do gutters and downspouts first and glass last. Runoff from a cleared run is flushed clear before we move to the glass, so the wall has stopped dripping by the time the panes are washed.
Screens and sills are part of the job. We rinse the screens we take down and wipe the sills, and those are not billed as extras.
This visit covers exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
