Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We go gutters first, glass last, so the dirty water from the roof never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our jobs across New York, most customers book this for the spring and fall cleanings.
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 an approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and it covers both washing services: the window washing and the gutter work. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of your house and we will tell you the exact number.
What moves the quote is mostly what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before they run clear, and the runoff from a packed run is worse on the glass below. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are priced by the run. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler hitting the glass is a separate issue that no cleaning removes, and we tell you about it before the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how a typical two-story house works out. The back run and the upper row of panes usually move the quote more than the front, because they take more time on the ladder. We clear the gutters and downspouts, flush each downspout until it runs clear, and rinse the screens, which is how we remove dirt that would otherwise wash back onto the glass. We clean the glass after the gutters are done, so the runoff never reaches the new glass. Our crew takes photos of each run and sends them before leaving. Most of the work on a house like that is in the setup and the flushing, which is why the count of stories and panes comes first on the phone.
Getting the exact number is simple. Tell us how many stories the house has, roughly how many windows face the street and the back, and text a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to quote over the phone, and the number holds on the invoice. Condos and multi-unit buildings are quoted the same way, unit by unit, once we see the roofline and the ground-floor glass.
| 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 window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. The spring visit falls in late May to June across New York, and the fall visit usually lands in late October to November. On our De Witt jobs the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutter elbows, and the fall visit catches the leaf load before the first hard freeze. The spring load is heaviest, so that visit is the one where the screens and sills need the most attention.
Across New York, nor'easters move the dates a little. A bad nor'easter can knock loose a section of gutter and leave debris on the glass, which is a good reason to book a cleaning afterward. The dates shift with the weather for residential and commercial buildings alike, but the spring and fall pattern holds, and most customers keep their booking on the same calendar each year.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, so those customers are on a shorter schedule than twice a year. A sprinkler line that hits the picture windows leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses need a closer look at the glass. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than most, and it may need a visit in between the regular cleanings. Our crew uses purified water on the glass and keeps cleaning solutions to a minimum. It sees the difference on the glass in April and in November, and tells you which of these applies to your house.
There are two signs that tell you when windows need a cleaning. One is haze that only shows when the sun is low, because the film on the glass catches the light. Haze on the outside is the usual sign, since the interior and exterior of a window pick up different dirt. The other is water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain, which means the gutter is full or the downspout is blocked. Either sign is a good reason to book a cleaning, and the crew can tell you which one it is from the photos.
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 works across De Witt and the surrounding area, and we clean residential properties from the older blocks to the newer streets. We have cleaned the gutters and windows on homes with heavy tree cover, on houses with sprinklers that hit the glass, and on multi-story buildings where the upper panes need a boom or scissor lift. Our professional window cleaning crew handles each job the same way, and we do not hand our window cleaning services off to a subcontractor. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal on any street, and we bill the cleaning services for the gutters and the glass under one number.
Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and tell us how many stories the house has. The number covers every window on the house, front and back. We give you the number over the phone, and then we schedule service for a date that works for you. The lead time depends on the season, because the calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season. Book early in those months and you will get the date you want.
We call before we come, and we call again when the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside and does not clean windows inside. If something on the house cannot be reached safely, such as a pane over a sunroom roof, the crew photographs it and tells you rather than guessing. Clogged gutters that have been left a long time can lead to water damage on the fascia and the wall below, so we flag those on the first visit.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, which is why we bundle them. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof never reaches the clean panes.
For a residential window job, the number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Tell us how many stories and roughly how many windows, and text a photo of the front of the house. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the grime. Film from the air, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior of the glass, and the inside stays clean when the outside does not. Clean windows on the outside are what most people notice first from the street.
The spring visit falls in late May to June across New York, and the fall visit usually lands in late October to November. The dates move a little with the weather, so call or text us to confirm the week.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass is cleaned only after the gutters and downspouts are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are cleaned as part of the window cleaning. None of it shows up as a separate line item on the invoice.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Unlock the side gate and that is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
