Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. 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 clean are booked in spring and fall, and that is the rhythm we work to here as well. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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 depends on how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries. Put those two numbers together with the gutters, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Booking the cleanings for both jobs together is what keeps the price down. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, and we will not add charges after the crew has already set up the ladders.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job. We do not bill them as extras, because a gutter that has been cleared but still carries a wet, packed downspout is not finished. The glass is done with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are billed as a separate line. On our jobs, four things move the quote most: a third story or a steep roof the crew cannot walk, picture windows and other oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with pollen, needles and leaves, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and this quote covers the exterior only. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate case, quoted after the crew sees the glass.
For an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the stories and a rough window count. We can usually tell from that which of the window and gutter cleaning services apply to your house, and whether there is anything on the roofline we should flag before the visit. Residential and commercial buildings are quoted on separate sheets, so tell us the building type when you call. Our crew photographs the runs before and after, so you can see what was done.
| 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 customers here book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across New York, regular cleanings in those two seasons are the pattern that holds. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the sticky paste packs the elbows of the downspouts. Fall is when the leaf load arrives, and wet leaves in the gutters are heavier than they look from the ground. Nor'easters across New York can move the dates a little.
Some houses need a third visit. On our jobs that means heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, or a house close to a busy road or active construction. Multi-story buildings under heavy tree cover build up more grime between visits, and they show it faster. The grime on windows under trees is not just dust, and it carries sap and grit that wash down onto the sill. Clogged gutters left through a wet season can lead to water damage at the fascia.
You will see the sign that windows need cleaning when a haze shows up only when the sun is low, and that is when professional window cleaning pays off in curb appeal. The sign of clogged gutters is water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout. Once you see either one, it is time to book. Many window cleaners skip the gutters entirely. Our cleaning services cover the outside glass, so the windows inside stay as they are unless you ask about them on the phone.
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 across Clifton Park and the surrounding area. The residential window glass and the window and gutter cleaning we do cover the exterior of every window and every gutter run on the house. Clean windows are the goal on every visit: the crew wipes each sill and checks each pane before leaving. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We will give you a time estimate and tell you when the next open slot is. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we call before we arrive so the sprinklers can be turned off and the driveway can be cleared.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, when the leaf loads peak. If you want a particular week in those months, book early. Off-season slots open more often and the lead time is shorter. We will tell you the lead time when you call, based on what is open that week.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit, starting with the gutters and finishing with the glass so the runoff does not hit clean windows. Our washing services follow that order every time.
We quote window cleaning services from the number of stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. We will not give a figure without that information, and the number we quote is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, so it gets dirty faster than the inside. Cleaning the exterior is the part that changes what you see through the glass.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall. That is when the leaf load is heaviest, so the visit clears what has built up since the last one. Condos get the same calendar, so tell us if the building is a condo when you text the photo.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters and downspouts, then let the wall dry before touching the glass, so nothing falls onto a window we have already cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, which is how we remove dirt from the frame before the glass. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside. Nothing on the outside of the house is billed as an extra.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on the same trip. If you need interior work, tell us when you call and we will say what we can do.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Unlock the side gate if the crew needs access.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
