Yes, the same two people clean your 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 them as two separate trips. On our Corning jobs most customers book it in the spring and fall, which is why one crew doing both makes sense here.
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, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of windows or oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleared in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a number for window cleaning services and gutter work before you book a date.
The first thing we check is how much grime has built up on the glass and in the runs. Heavy buildup takes longer, and we say so before we start, and it takes extra time to remove dirt from the sills. Runoff from a roof that has not been cleared can also stain the wall under the gutter, which adds time when we get there, and window washing near a stained wall takes longer too, because the crew rinses the wall before the glass.
On a Corning job, one customer with a two-story house and a row of tall windows booked both services together. The quote moved because of the picture windows on the second floor and the gutters that had not been opened in several seasons, and the crew told them before starting. You can see that job here: Corning case. Our crew can give you an exact number once we know your stories and window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text is enough to start.
For residential and commercial work, the same principles apply. Our crew quotes per building, and the quote is based on the number of stories, the square footage and the state of the gutters. We handle condos and other residential properties the same way, one quote per building, and we bring our washing services to each one with the same method. Whether the glass is on the inside or outside matters too, and we only clean the exterior on this visit.
| 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 in Corning book both services twice a year, once in late spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across New York, spring visits usually fall in late May to June, after the bulk of the pollen drops, and fall visits come in October to early November, after the leaves have come down. To schedule service before the spring rush, book a date early.
On our Corning jobs we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and paste packed into the gutters in the spring. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs and the grit left behind by storms. Wind and storm seasons can move the dates, and we adjust the schedule when the weather does.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. 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 gathers more dust on the cleaning solutions we use, so it needs more attention. For these we suggest regular cleanings rather than one visit a year, and we plan the schedule around the house.
You will know your windows need attention when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know your gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain.
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 has worked across Corning and knows the houses here. Booking is simple: you call or text us, we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the number on the phone. Lead time depends on the season, and during the busiest windows of the year, when leaves and grit are heaviest, our calendar fills up faster, so booking early helps. We call before we come, so you know when the crew will arrive.
We work across New York and across the country, and we bring the same cleaning services to each house. Our window cleaners use the same method every time, which is why the result looks the same from one property to the next. Our professional window cleaning keeps the glass clear and keeps the frames and sills in good shape, so the house keeps its curb appeal between visits.
Gutters that are not cleared are a common cause of trouble. Clogged gutters send water over the edge and down the wall, and that is how water damage starts, so clearing the runs matters as much as the glass. Our crew also handles multi-story buildings, using the same process on each floor. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside, and we do not clean windows inside on this visit.
Yes. The same two people clean the residential window glass and the gutters, working in the order gutters first, glass last. We do both jobs in one visit so you are not paying for two trips.
The number comes from your stories and a count of every window, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without seeing the house.
On the outside, dust, rain grit and sprinkler spots build up here, and that is what cuts the light through the glass. Cleaning the outside alone makes a real difference, because clean windows let more light through, and the frames and sills stay clean too.
Most of our Corning customers book in the spring and the fall, and those are the two visits that cover the seasonal buildup and the leaves. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house front.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, the water running off the gutters can dirty it again, so we avoid that order.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included as well, so there is no separate charge for them.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Many customers ask about interior and exterior glass together, but we do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move your cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. Our crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
