Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We go gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs down clean glass. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. We do this every spring and fall, the two windows when most homes need it most.
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 the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and starting prices for each house height are given on the call. A residential and commercial building with the same stories and window count gets the same starting figure.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings are quoted by stories, not guessed from the street. A high count of windows or picture windows adds passes on the glass. Clogged gutters, not cleaned in years and packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush, and the runoff from a run like that is what stains the siding below. Gutters that have overflowed for years may show water damage on the fascia, and we point it out when we see it. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it. Grime baked onto the panes takes an extra pass, and it takes more than a rinse to remove dirt that has set. Cleaning solutions on the glass are purified water only, which dries without streaks. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Get the exact number by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting us a photo of the front of the house along with your stories and a rough window count, and we will book a date. Crews who only do gutters or only do windows will quote you one half, and the second visit will cost you more. Our window and gutter cleaning is one crew in one visit, so the quote covers both, and the price you hear is the price on the invoice.
| 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.
Most of our Fort Drum customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, once in late May or June and once in October or early November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Regular cleanings at those two points keep the gutters clear and the glass clean. Cleaning services for gutters and windows are booked this way most years. What we find at each visit follows the seasons. In late spring we clear the pollen film off south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In fall it is the leaf load that fills the runs and the grit that washes down the wall. Wind and storm seasons can move those dates by a few weeks.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and they need a mineral treatment rather than another pass. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grit than the average lot, and that shows up on the sills first.
You will see when windows need it: a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Either sign is reason enough to call, and we will tell you which of those your lot actually needs at the first visit. Professional window cleaning on the spring and fall visits keeps curb appeal up from the street.
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.
We clean windows and gutters across the residential properties in Fort Drum, and we keep the same order of work on every one: gutters first, glass last. Many people hire window cleaners for the glass and a separate company for the gutters, and we do both in one visit. Our window cleaning services and gutter washing services share one ladder setup per side of the house. Booking starts with a phone call or text giving us your number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we send back a firm number. Lead time depends on the calendar, and the busy windows in spring and fall fill first, so it helps to ask early. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
We aim to give every window the same attention and to leave the sill clean in each case. Each residential window we can reach from the ground or the pole gets the same passes. If you want to schedule service for the outside of the house in one visit, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will come back with a date and a written estimate.
Our crew does both in one visit, and our washing services cover the gutters as well as the glass, on the same ladder setup per side of the house. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, then do the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and condos are quoted the same way. We give it to you by phone or text, and we do not guess from the street.
On our Fort Drum jobs the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dirtier from the street than from inside. Cleaning the outside does the work you can actually see.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in the fall, since those are the two windows when the pollen and the leaves build up.
No, gutters first, glass last. When the runs are cleared and flushed first, the grit and black water are gone before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are taken down, rinsed and put back. Sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the outside.
We clean the outside of the glass only on this visit, and the windows inside the house are not part of it. We do not pressure wash.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
