Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here. Gutters go first, glass last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Our crew has done this work on our Dix Hills jobs through every spring and fall visit, so you can book with a clear sense of what the day looks like.
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 gutter and window cleaning 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. Quotes for window washing services and window cleaning services come from those same two numbers. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, because we work it out from those details before we arrive. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew sees what moves a quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, window count and oversized picture windows, grime that has built up on the lower panes, gutters not cleaned in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. A house with interior and exterior glass gets quoted for the outside only, since the windows inside are not part of this visit.
On one Dix Hills job, the quote came up because the house had three stories of window and a back run that needed a lift, and the owner asked us to bring the number to the phone before we came; the crew put the figure in writing before the truck left. To get your own exact number, tell us the stories, roughly how many windows, and text a photo of the front of the house. For regular cleanings on a schedule, the number is set once and holds across visits.
| 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 Dix Hills customers book both twice a year: across New York, spring visits run late May to June, and our fall visit here runs November to early December, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our jobs in spring, the pollen film sits thick on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters and downspout elbows, so that visit clears the residue the season left behind. In the fall, the wet leaf mat is the main load, and on houses that skipped that visit we see gutter runs sagging under the winter weight.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters filling between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects grit faster than most, and that shows on the glass sooner than on the roof. Multi-story buildings add time on the ladder or lift. Our crew sets the schedule on the first visit based on what it finds.
You will see haze on windows when the sun is low in the afternoon, and that is the sign the glass needs a visit. Water sheeting over the gutter edge in rain is the sign the gutters need one, and if you notice either between visits, text us a photo. Residential and commercial buildings alike get that haze, and we would rather see it early than find water damage in the spring.
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 Dix Hills and books with you by phone or text: you tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we come back with a quote. Booking a slot is simple, and we confirm the date with a call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, because the crew works outside and does not come inside.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring visit and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills fastest then, so if you want a particular week, book early in those months. The schedule is kept by our office, and we can set a regular cleanings plan that holds the same crew across visits. Professional window cleaning is the same work whether the house is a small two-story or a larger build, and the process stays the same: gutters first, then the glass. The glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and that method holds from one visit to the next.
Many of our window cleaners work from the same van and the same process, so the quote you get is the one you pay. Every window we can reach from outside is on that quote. For the outside of your building, the curb appeal from clean glass and clear gutters is most visible in the first week after a visit. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo to schedule service and we will put you on the calendar.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows.
Pricing for residential properties starts with the stories and the approximate window count, and each residential window on the outside is in the figure. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure before we come.
Yes, because the outside carries the tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up here. Those residues sit on the glass whatever the inside looks like.
Across New York, spring visits run late May to June, and our fall visit here falls in November to early December. Those are the windows when the spring build-up and the leaf drop are heaviest.
No, because we clear the gutters and downspouts first and let the wall dry before we touch the glass. The order is what keeps the runoff off clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit and are not billed as an extra.
No, on this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing here, and the water-fed pole is how we remove dirt from the upper panes.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you own one of the condos on a shared roof, check with the board first, since the gutter run may belong to the building.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
