Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this combined job in spring and fall, so the calendar is set around those two visits.
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 bundle in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window washing separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs, window count, picture windows and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted to reach the runs, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes are what move a quote, and the crew finds each of them on the day. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs the number is decided before anyone climbs, from a photo of the front of the house sent by text and a count of stories. Multi-story buildings and tall gables need a boom or scissor lift rather than a ladder, and that changes the number. Clogged gutters that have been left for a season take longer to clear than a run cleaned every visit, and the crew tells you before it starts if a run needs more time. Dust and grit that have settled into the frame over a long season are part of the same visit, and so is a check for water damage at the fascia, which the crew photographs and reports without selling a repair.
Our Endwell customers who ask about window cleaners and window washing are usually weighing curb appeal against cost, and the honest answer is that the outside glass carries most of the difference. Professional window cleaning on the outside is where most of the visible film comes from, and the gutters that feed water down the wall are the reason the glass fogs again after rain. The quote covers the outside only, so windows inside are never part of the number. Send a photo of the house front, give us the story count, and we will tell you the number on the phone before the truck is booked.

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 Endwell customers book both twice a year, once in late spring and once in fall, as two cleanings on one calendar, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across New York the pattern is the same on residential properties: a spring visit after the seed drop, and a fall visit after the last leaves come down. We provide cleaning services on that schedule because it matches what collects on the house. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the sticky paste packs the gutters. In fall the wet leaf mat is the problem, and it is heaviest in the gutters over the north side of the house.
Each visit tells us something different. Yellow dust on the glass shows up as a film that rain only smears, and on a residential window it collects on the sill and frames first. Clean windows stay clean longer when the gutters above them are clear, so we check both on every visit. Leaves and grit in the gutters turn to a dense mat by late fall, and runs that go uncleared through winter sag under the weight of ice and snow. Storm and wind season moves the calendar a few weeks in either direction, so we book from the last visit date rather than the page.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packed between visits, and houses on regular cleanings with that cover are back every three or four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round spots on every window it reaches, and those spots come back a day after cleaning and need a separate mineral treatment rather than another wash. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film of dust that a twice-a-year schedule does not keep up with. We tell you which of those your house has after the first visit, so you schedule service on what the house actually does.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a dull look only in low sun, and the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain rather than running into the downspout.
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 cleans the exterior of residential windows and the gutters and downspouts of the houses around Endwell, and we clean the same runs on the condos and smaller multi-unit buildings that share a roofline. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you the number before anything is scheduled. Lead time is set by the calendar, not the page, so the estimate tells you when the next open slot falls. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring seed period and the fall leaf drop, and the calendar fills fastest in those weeks. Book early in either window and you get the date you want; book late and the crew works down the route, which can move your visit a few days. Between those windows there is usually an opening, and a mid-season visit fits in when a sprinkler or a tree limb is the reason.
Our crew works the exterior only on each visit, and we keep the schedule to the gutters, the downspouts and the outside glass so the route stays tight. We handle the window cleaning services and washing services that a residential window and its gutters need in one visit, and we remove dirt, grime and runoff staining from the sill and the wall below the run in the same pass, so nothing dirty is left on the glass after we leave.
Yes. Our crew does both on residential and commercial buildings, and the same two people work the gutters and the windows in one visit, gutters first.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Send a photo of the front and the story count by text or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the figure before anything is booked.
On our jobs the outside carries most of what you see. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the outside first, so the inside can look fine while the outside looks dull in low sun.
Our customers here book in late spring, after the pollen drop, and in fall, after the leaves come down. Regular cleanings follow the same two dates. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which of those dates fits your house.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the windows, so the runoff never reaches a pane we have already done. Large picture windows get the same order.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the exterior visit. Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned where they are reachable from outside.
We clean the exterior windows only on this visit. Interior and exterior windows are different jobs, and we do not do the interior or pressure washing. Each pane is rinsed with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left on the pane.
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 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.
