Yes, the same two people clean the 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, most of our customers book the work in the spring and fall, and the estimate takes a few minutes: call (866) 435-6328 or send a text.
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. A window and gutter cleaning booked in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the cleaning solutions are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. A large number of oversized panes or picture windows takes more time than a standard row. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and grit, take longer to work through before water drains off them the way it should. Gutter guards add time when they must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that regular cleanings do not remove. Heavy pollen on the glass in spring adds a rinse step as well.
Across New York, the number that changes the quote most is the house itself, so the most useful thing you can send us is a photo of the front of the house by text along with the number of stories. Residential and commercial buildings are quoted on different scales, so say which kind of building it is when you call. That lets us give you an exact figure before anyone climbs a ladder. We would rather you know the number up front than find it on the invoice, and interior and exterior glass are always quoted separately.
Our crew has cleaned houses across New York where the quote came in higher than the customer expected because the gutters had not been cleaned in several years and the glass was coated in grime and road dust. Once the gutters were run clear and the windows were done, the customer kept to a yearly schedule with the same two-visit pattern. After the first visit, cleanings on the same schedule cost less and stay predictable from year to year.
If you are weighing one visit against two, the bundle is the cheaper route for most houses. Ask for a written estimate and we will break down what each part of the job covers.
| 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 both jobs twice a year, one visit in the spring and one in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Many cleaning services book the two jobs separately, but each visit has its own reason. In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste builds up in the gutters, and in the fall the leaf load and the wet leaf mat need clearing before the weather turns.
Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so professional window cleaning is booked around the weather window rather than the calendar. We see the most runoff damage after heavy rain when the gutters are clogged, and clogged gutters are the single most common cause of water damage we find at the fascia and the foundation. Multi-story buildings and houses under heavy tree cover need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts faster than the seasonal schedule can keep up with.
Some houses need a third visit for reasons we can see from the ladder. Window cleaners who only look at the glass from the ground can miss this, so we check the gutters on every visit. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster than the rest of the block. Heavy tree cover over the roof means the gutters fill sooner. If your house falls into one of those groups, we will say so on the first visit and set the schedule with you.
You will know the windows need attention when the glass looks hazy only when the sun is low. The windows inside are not part of this visit, so haze on the inside glass needs a separate job. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign is a good reason to call before the next season arrives. Clean glass and clear gutters also protect the curb appeal of the house between visits.
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 do window and gutter cleaning across Copiague, and we work on residential properties of every size, from single-family homes to multi-story houses with many clean windows. A residential window job, a gutter run or both on the same visit all book through one number. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, where you give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Most professional window cleaning jobs can be scheduled within the lead time we give you on the call, and we confirm the date by text before the crew arrives.
The busy windows of the year are the spring and fall stretches when the glass and gutters get dirtiest, and our calendar fills during those weeks. If you want a specific date during those windows, call early and we will hold a slot for you. We will also call before we come, so you know the crew is on its way.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we will work around the parts of the house that need the most care. When we schedule service we walk the outside of every window and every gutter run so that no section gets skipped, including the sill and the upper floors, which we clean from a pole without leaning a ladder on the siding.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the roof never runs across a window we have already cleaned.
The number depends on 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 will quote the exact figure.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the grime that dirties the glass on Long Island: road dust, rain dust, sprinkler spots and the runoff from the roof. Interior glass is a separate job we do not take on this visit.
Across New York, most of our customers book in the spring and in the fall, and the exact months depend on how heavy the leaf drop and the spring dust are that year. Call us and we will tell you what we are seeing on the jobs right now.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. If the glass was washed first, the debris and grit from the gutters would run down the wall and across it again, so we follow that order on every job.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our washing services, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the same visit.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside the house stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing. Frames are wiped to remove dirt as part of the exterior job.
This page covers residential houses and condos. Commercial buildings are quoted separately by phone at (866) 435-6328, so the crew can check the building before anyone books a date.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
