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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most homeowners book it in spring and fall, and we keep that same rhythm for the houses we work on here.
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 window and gutter 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. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge for window cleaning services and gutters alike. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: multi-story buildings with a third story or a steep roof, a large number of residential window panes or oversized picture windows, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves that have not been opened in years, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across New York, the houses that get the most window washing services from us are the ones that have not had a clean in a long time, because the grime on the glass and the grit in the gutters build up together. On a first visit we often find that regular cleanings cost less per year than letting it go and paying for a larger job later. The glass is done with purified water instead of cleaning solutions, and that is part of the price. We do not price the interior and exterior together, since the crew works outside only. If you only want the outside of the glass done, say so and we will quote just that. For a residential window job, that means outside only, and the price follows the scope.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories visible, and tell us roughly how many windows face the street. We will reply with a figure from those details, and you can decide whether to add the gutters.
| 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 customers book window and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, so one crew in one visit is the simplest way to keep both on the same calendar. Across New York, the spring visit lands in late May to June, and in Evans the fall visit falls in late October to November.
In spring, pollen builds a film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters. A film that has dried on the outside pane overnight needs more than a quick rinse, so we use purified water instead of cleaning solutions, and we do not clean the windows inside the house. In fall, the leaves come down all at once, and the wet mat sits in the runs through the first hard freeze. Both residential and commercial buildings collect that load, and multi-story buildings are harder to reach, so the fall visit is worth booking early. Across New York, nor'easters can shift those dates by a few weeks, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof usually means clogged gutters fill between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Rinsing the glass will not always remove dirt that has dried on the frame, so the frame gets wiped too. A house near a busy road or a construction site also picks up more grit on the glass than its neighbors. We will tell you after the first visit which of those applies to your lot.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout, and left alone that can turn into water damage at the fascia.
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 with us starts with a quick estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, and we will confirm a window with the usual lead time for your area and call before we come, so you know the crew is on its way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the late spring pollen season and the late fall leaf season. If you want a slot in those weeks, schedule service as early as you can. We clean every window that faces the work area, including the sill and the frame, and we flag any pane we cannot reach safely so you are not surprised on the invoice. Gutters and downspouts are done first, so the rinse from them does not hit the glass after it is clean.
Professional window cleaning pays off most when it runs on a set schedule, because cleaning services on a regular route catch buildup before a single bad month does. Window cleaners who visit on that route also protect the curb appeal of the house and keep gutters from sheeting water onto the siding. Our route covers residential properties in Evans, and the same crew handles both the gutters and the glass.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, starting with the gutters. That order keeps the glass clean after the work is done.
We give the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text, and the figure we quote is the figure on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house and tell us roughly how many windows there are.
Usually yes, because the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that never reach the inside, and a rinse alone will not remove dirt that has dried on the frame. On our Evans jobs, the outside is where most of the grime sits, so cleaning it alone makes a visible difference on a residential window.
For window and gutter cleaning in Evans, we book fall in late October to November. Across New York, spring visits land in late May to June, and most homes follow that same spring and fall rhythm.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters splashes it again, and someone has to rewash it. We avoid that by finishing the gutters before we touch a pane.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job on residential properties. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside. We do not bill these as separate extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing, so the crew stays outside and works with water-fed poles.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in one of the condos on your street, check with the association first, since shared gutters and outside glass may not be yours to book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
