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 washes 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 the homes we service are cleaned in the spring and fall, when grime and fallen leaves build up the most.
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 quote window washing and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Stories and steep roofs take longer to reach safely, so multi-story buildings and steep roofs change the quote. So does the window count, and an oversized residential window takes more time per pane. Gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves add time. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are also part of the estimate.
Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one thing we will tell you up front that cleaning will not remove. On the day, the crew checks the glass and the gutter runs and says what it finds before the work starts.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the washing services, not extras billed later. Ask us for an exact figure by sending a photo of the front of the house by text or calling (866) 435-6328, along with the number of stories and about how many windows you have.
On our jobs, the price changes most with how the house is laid out. A two-story home with a clear back run and few panes is a different job from a three-story house with a lot of glass and a long gutter run around a porch. Most homeowners here get a number within a few minutes of sending us the photo. For a house with picture windows and a regular cleanings schedule, we set the visit so the glass and the gutters come out of one setup. If the last time the gutters were cleaned was a while ago, mention it when you call, because that tells us how much debris to plan for and whether one visit or a longer pass is needed. Keep in mind that this quote covers the outside only, so interior and exterior glass are two separate questions to ask us.
| 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 homeowners book gutter and window cleaning in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. Seasonal debris follows the calendar rather than the building type, so the same timing holds for residential and commercial buildings alike. In spring, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters, so the first visit each year is usually the heaviest. In fall, the leaf load arrives and the wet leaf mat is what clogs the gutters, which is when runoff and water damage from overflow start showing up on the fascia and the walls below.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters coming back between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate mineral treatment, not the regular cleaning solutions used on the glass. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets dust on the sills and frames faster than usual.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the sky. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, 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.
Our crew works across Cheektowaga, and we handle the window cleaning services for both the gutters and the exterior glass on each of the residential properties we visit. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text, tell us the number of stories, and send a photo of the house front so we can see the roofline and the window layout. We will quote the job and set a date from there. Lead times depend on how full the calendar is, and the busiest stretches are the spring window and the fall leaf window, when our schedule service fills first, so booking early helps. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we arrive. Our window cleaners clean every window on the outside of the house, and we give the frames and sills the same attention as the glass, because professional window cleaning is about the whole opening. Keeping the outside clean also keeps curb appeal where you want it all year.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first so the glass stays clean.
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 tell us how many stories there are and about how many windows you have.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime here: pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting on the glass. Cleaning the inside does not remove dirt from the outside of the glass.
Across New York, most of our customers book in the spring and again in the fall, after the pollen and leaves have come down. Those are the two windows when the calendar fills fastest.
Not if the gutters are done first. Clearing a run sends leaves and grit down the wall, so we blow the roof, clear the gutters and downspouts, and only then clean the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. They are not billed as extras.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home for the exterior work. If you live in a condo, tell us whether the gutters belong to your unit or to the association, since a shared roof decides who we quote. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
