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 the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Across New York our crew does this work every spring and fall, and most of our East Fishkill customers book the pair in those same two seasons.
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 window and gutter bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The same rule holds for residential and commercial buildings, and condos are quoted by stories and window count too. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and a rough residential window count, and we will give you the figure before anyone is scheduled.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it adds time and a second setup. A window count that runs high, or oversized picture windows that need more handling, adds time on the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear and to flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is something no cleaning removes, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The glass is rinsed with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to streak.
On a two-story house with a lot of glass on the back side and a gutter run that has not been cleared in several seasons, the back side is what drives the quote. The crew clears the run, flushes every downspout until it runs clear, and then does the exterior windows from the pole. Photos of each run go to the customer before the crew leaves. For a house like yours, the most useful thing you can send us is a photo of the front of the house and a count of stories, and we will tell you what we expect to find.

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 East Fishkill customers book cleanings of gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in late May or June and again in late October or November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across New York, the same two windows hold for most houses booking window cleaning services, after the spring pollen drop and after the last leaves come down.
In the spring visit we find pollen film on south-facing glass and a paste of tree dust packed into the gutters and elbows. In the fall visit we find the wet leaf mat and the grit that washes into the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, and we would rather come after a bad blow than before it.
Some houses need a third visit on top of the regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate treatment. A house close to a busy road or active construction picks up a film faster than most. Multi-story buildings that sit under a canopy of trees often need the same kind of attention, and when that is the case we say so on the first visit.
Two things tell you a visit is due. Windows need it when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout, since that is how water damage starts at the fascia. Clean glass and clear gutters also do more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
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 window and gutter cleaning with us starts with an estimate by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the window count and the approximate time on the ladder. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the late spring season and the late fall leaf drop, so if you want a particular week in those months it pays to call early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of each run and the finished glass before they leave. Residential properties and clean windows on the same visit are what most of our East Fishkill bookings look like, and every window on the outside gets the same treatment. The crew also clears gutters and downspouts on that visit, and we use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass. Sill and frame wiping is included, and if a sill needs more than a wipe we say so before the work starts.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and the stories count, and we will reply with the number and the next open slot.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, and the gutters go first so that the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before anything is booked. Send a photo of the front and a count of stories and you will have the figure the same day.
On our jobs here the outside carries most of the grime: film from spring tree growth, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting that the inside never sees. Cleaning the outside alone is a normal professional window cleaning job for us.
Most of our East Fishkill customers book in late May or June and again in late October or November. Those are the windows when the leaves are heaviest on our jobs here.
Not on our crew's jobs, because we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, so the crew can remove dirt from the wall before touching the glass. Gutters first, glass last is the order every time.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks that need more than a wipe are called out before we start.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing. If you want interior and exterior glass done, say so when you call, and we will tell you what we can cover before anything is booked. Our washing services stop at the outside of the glass, the frames and the sills.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
