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 in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book it in the spring and fall, once the pollen and leaves have come down.
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 cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and how many windows you have and we will give you a firm figure before we come.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. A high window count, or oversized picture windows, takes more time on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Regular cleanings tend to take less time, since less film and debris build up between visits. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers will not come off with cleaning alone. Gutters and downspouts are part of the same quote, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are included, not billed as extras. The crew rinses the glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so it dries without streaks. Our quote covers exterior work only. Ask about interior and exterior glass when you call, and we will tell you what we do and do not cover.
To get the exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house and tell us the stories. A photo of the front of the house is usually enough for us to count windows and see the gutter run. If you already know your window count, include that too. We will confirm the price in writing before we schedule service, so there are no surprises when the truck pulls up.
Our Dunkirk customers often ask whether it makes sense to have the outside of the windows and the gutters done together, and for most of them it does. The crew is already on the ladder for the gutters, and the glass comes after the gutters are flushed, so one setup covers both. Ask for a written estimate and we will show you how the bundle compares to the two jobs quoted separately.
| 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 customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Spring and fall are when the glass picks up the most film and the gutters hold the most debris, and that is when many people schedule service with a professional window cleaning crew.
In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters and downspout elbows. In fall, the leaf load comes down in wet mats that leave clogged gutters and back water up behind the fascia. Storms and wind seasons can move the dates, so we book by what the house is showing, not by the calendar alone.
Some houses, and some multi-story buildings with a lot of tall glass, need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into 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 collects dust faster than a quiet street, and the sills need extra time to remove dirt. Gutters that overflow for a season can also lead to water damage at the fascia. On those houses we suggest a third visit in the middle of the season, and we tell you why when we book.
You will see when the windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. If that haze is on the windows inside, it is not part of our exterior visit. You will see when the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout, with runoff spilling onto the walk. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal. If you see either problem, text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we see before we schedule anything.
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.
Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. Tell us if you want our washing services for the gutters, the windows, or both. We give you an estimate and a lead time, and we call before we come to schedule service. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside.
Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, so book early in those months to get the date you want. Outside those windows, slots open up more often and we can usually fit you in sooner. If you live in a condo, mention it when you book, since the roofline and the gutter runs may be shared.
We do both window and gutter cleaning on residential properties in Dunkirk, and we clean every window on the outside of the house in the same visit. Some window cleaners stop at the glass, but we do the gutters and downspouts too. If a property is part residential and commercial, tell us when you book so we can say whether the crew can take it. A residential window cleaning on a single-story home is the quickest job, and the crew can give clean windows and clear gutters and downspouts to a two-story house in one morning. For multi-story buildings we need the stories count before we give a lead time. For a picture window or a sill that needs extra attention, tell us when you book so we can plan the time.
Yes, it is the same crew. We clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty gutter water does not end up on the clean glass.
The cost of our window cleaning services comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Text us the stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will send a firm number before we come.
Most homeowners find the outside is what carries the grime here: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the outside keeps the glass clear, and it is also the way to remove dirt from the frames and sills, even if the inside stays as it is.
In Dunkirk, most of our customers book in late spring and in late fall, after the pollen drops and after the leaves come down.
Gutters first, glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the debris and runoff run down the wall, so we do the glass after, and no one has to wash the windows twice.
Yes, our washing services include screens, sills and tracks as part of the visit. They are not billed as extras.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home, whether it is a house or a condo. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
