The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not rinsed twice. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Most of our Cornwall customers book it in the spring and the fall, and that is when we are busiest. Call (866) 435-6328 to book both jobs.
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.
Our window washing services are priced 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, so the quote you get before we come is the invoice you pay after.
A few things move the quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift on some houses. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes and picture windows that need a second pass to dry clean. Grime baked onto the glass by summer sun adds time to every pass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and to flush. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our window cleaning services cover exterior glass on this visit, and cleaning interior and exterior glass together is a different scope with its own quote. Regular cleanings follow the same story and window count, so a repeat visit is quoted the same way as the first.
Your number comes from stories, window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Send that and we will give you the exact figure before we book.

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 Cornwall customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across New York, spring visits run late May to June, and fall visits in Cornwall run November to early December. The same schedule suits residential and commercial buildings. On our Cornwall jobs the spring visit comes after the pollen season, and the fall visit comes after the leaves are down. In the spring the pollen film on south-facing glass is the first thing we see, and the pollen paste sitting in the gutters is the second. By fall the leaf load is what fills the runs, and the gutters are the job that matters most before the first hard freeze. Cornwall gets about 51.5 inches of precipitation a year, and June, August and October are the wettest months.
Storms and wind shift the dates. Across New York, a nor'easter in the fall can put the leaf load in the gutters a few weeks early, and we move the visit to match rather than wait out the calendar. Snow averages 35.7 inches a year in Cornwall, mostly from December through March, so the fall visit has to land before the first heavy snow.
Some houses need a third visit. On multi-story buildings with heavy tree cover, clogged gutters come back between visits, and a gutter that backs up in a storm can cause water damage at the fascia and the wall below. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate mineral treatment. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the average house, and we see it in the glass within a few weeks. Frames and sills carry the pollen film too, so the crew brings cleaning solutions for them, and a window and gutter visit in the same trip covers both. The crew works on the outside, so the windows inside stay as they are on this visit.
Watch for two signs. Windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 book Cornwall through a phone call or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we come back with a quote and an open window. Lead time depends on the season, and in the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills first, so the earlier you call the better your slot. When you compare window cleaners in Cornwall, check whether the quote covers the gutters, the screens and the sill, since that is where the two jobs differ. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew works on the outside of the house only. We do not come inside, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. What we do is the gutters, the exterior glass, and the screens and sills that belong to the window job. Our cleaning services in Cornwall combine both jobs in one visit, and every window the pole can reach gets the same pass. This is professional window cleaning from the ground, with a water-fed pole, and it is the same method on every house. Each job gets the same care whether it is a single-story bungalow or a larger house, and we have been doing this kind of work long enough that the steps are routine on the ladder. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and that is the reason to book both in one visit.
Yes, and it is the same two people. Window and gutter cleaning is one visit here: we flush the gutters and downspouts first and clean the glass last, so nothing from the runs lands on clean windows.
We do not give a range here; the number comes from your number of stories and window count, and we give it over the phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text before we book.
For a residential window, the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those are what make the glass look dirty from the street.
Our Cornwall customers book in the spring and in the fall, and houses and condos alike fill the calendar in those two windows.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the runs are cleared and flushed and any runoff has stopped before anyone touches the windows.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the window job and are not billed as extras, and we remove dirt from each one as we go.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home, and residential properties get the same exterior work either way. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
