Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book spring and fall, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
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.
The price follows the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking window washing and gutter work separately. Our window cleaning services are priced that way on every house, not by the hour. The figure we give on the phone is the figure on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will work out a written estimate from those details.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high number of panes add time at the glass. Heavy grime from road dust and pollen adds time, and we say so before the crew starts. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more work before the crew can flush them. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it, and we will tell you so on the visit. Our washing services cover downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping, and all of it is included in the price.
Across New York, the surest route to an exact number is to tell us the stories, roughly how many windows the house has, and whether the gutters have been cleaned recently. Customers who book regular cleanings usually get the same number each visit, because the stories and window count stay the same. The quote covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior glass are never priced into one number. Text a photo of the front of the house and the crew can see the roofline before we send an estimate. We do not quote from a list; we look at the house.
| 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 residential and commercial customers book window and gutter work twice a year, one in spring and one in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters. A pollen film needs cleaning solutions on top of the water rinse, so the crew brings them. In fall, the leaf load arrives, and wet leaves hold water against the fascia through winter. Storms and wind seasons can move the dates, and we adjust the calendar when that happens. Our schedule covers the outside glass only, so the windows inside the house are a separate job.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loading between visits, and clogged gutters overflow in the first heavy rain. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round spots that return a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grit faster than a quiet street. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass take longer on the ladder, so the third visit can make sense there too. On those houses we suggest booking a third visit, and we say so from what we find on the glass, not from a schedule.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout, and left alone for a season that becomes water damage on the fascia. If you see either, schedule service, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at the photos first.
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.
Window cleaners who also clear gutters book through the phone and text, and every estimate starts with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Once we have that, we give a lead time and confirm the slot. Professional window cleaning and gutter work share that one slot, so the quote covers both. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so booking early in those months keeps the slot open.
We offer cleaning services for homes and light commercial sites, and we send one crew for the job so the glass and the gutters are handled in the same visit. Every window on the house gets the same care, including the upper stories and the sill under each pane. Clean glass and clear gutters do most of the work for curb appeal from the street. If you have a question about the job before you book, the crew answers it on the phone without a sales pitch.
Yes. Window and gutter cleaning is one visit with our crew. Some window cleaners stop at the glass, but the same two people handle the gutters first and the glass last, so there is no second trip.
We do not quote a figure off a list. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before we book.
On our jobs, the outside of a residential window carries most of the grime: pollen, rain dust, grit from the road, and sprinkler spots. The inside can look fine while the outside looks hazy in low sun.
Across New York, spring visits run late May to June. Fall visits run November to early December. Most of our customers book in those two windows, which is when pollen and leaves load the glass and the gutters on residential properties.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts, let the runoff drip off the wall, and only then start on the glass. That order is the reason we do both in one visit, and it lets us remove dirt from the wall before the panes are washed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job. Tracks and hard-water stains are different, and we quote those on the visit if they need work.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home, whether it is a house or one of the condos on the block. 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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
