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 the grit from the roof never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Chestnut Ridge jobs, most customers book it for 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.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. The bundle, both jobs in one visit, costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Interior and exterior glass is quoted as separate work, since it needs a different setup.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote. Stories and a steep roof change how long the ladder work takes. Window count and oversized panes matter as much as height. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes, so we will tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Chestnut Ridge jobs, the quote usually climbs with the stories and the window count, and with gutters that have sat unopened. The fastest way to get your exact number is to call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, along with the number of stories and roughly how many windows face outside. A water damage risk shows up in the gutter run before it shows up on the wall, so we flag clogged gutters and runoff patterns in the photo report, not as an upsell. Multi-story buildings and tall picture windows follow the same logic: the height sets the setup, and the setup sets the crew time. The window washing and professional window cleaning on the glass is the same work whether it is one pane or thirty, so the count is what we quote from. Ask us for a written estimate if you want the scope on paper before anyone climbs.
| 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.
Most of our Chestnut Ridge customers book regular cleanings twice a year, in the spring and fall visits, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across New York, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, and the frequency follows the trees and the sprinklers on each house.
On the spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutter elbows. On the fall visit the leaf load is the thing to watch, and a storm or a hard wind can move the date by a few weeks in either direction. Houses under heavy tree cover over the roof need more than two visits a year, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round white spots that return a day after cleaning, and those need a third visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust on every window, so its clean windows last a shorter time than the same glass farther back. Each visit is set to remove dirt from the frame as well as the pane.
You will know windows need a visit when a haze shows only in low sun on any residential window facing the road. You will know gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in rain. Either sign means it is time to schedule service with us, and our cleaning services cover both jobs on one visit.
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 work across the city's residential properties and clean every window on the house that faces outside, on the same visit as the gutters. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the estimate in writing before we set a date. The estimate covers the washing services, the window cleaning services and the gutters and downspouts in one number.
The two busy windows are spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills. Book early in those months and you get the slot you want; book late and the crew may be a few days out. Clean glass and clear gutters are the easiest way to improve curb appeal on the front of the house. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you are never surprised by a truck in the driveway.
We also handle condos and small multi-unit buildings, which mix residential and commercial work on one schedule. There, the grime on shared glass and the runoff from one roof onto another are the same problems at a larger scale. The crew moves the setup between units rather than doing each unit as a separate job, which is how we keep the work fast. For condos, the same booking steps apply, and we will say what we need from the building manager before the crew shows up.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, which is why we bundle them. Gutters come first and the glass goes last, so the dirty water never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, so we give it by phone or text. Send us the story count and a photo of the front, and we give you the price before anyone books a date.
Usually yes, for the outside. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside of the glass, and that is what you see in low sun. The inside is a separate job we do not take on this visit.
Our Chestnut Ridge customers book in spring and fall, which are the two busy windows. Booking early in those months gets you the slot you want.
No. We do gutters first and glass last, because the leaves, grit and black water coming off a run will splash a window below it if the glass is cleaned first.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included on the outside of the window.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on it. Cleaning the windows inside is a separate job, so ask us about cleaning solutions for that when you book.
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 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.
