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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York we book most of our homes for both services in the spring and fall, and that is when we get the calls most often.
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 residential properties by stories and approximate window count, and bundling gutters with window washing services in one visit comes in below booking the two separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and the rough window count and we will confirm the figure before the crew is scheduled.
On our jobs the quote moves for a handful of reasons. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder, which is why multi-story buildings take the longest ladder time. Oversized picture windows and a large number of panes add to the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear, and clogged gutters with grime built up inside add time too. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something cleaning solutions alone will not remove, and we flag it before quoting. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the visit.
To get an exact figure, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the stories and the window count. Our cleaning services handle regular cleanings the same way, so a repeat customer gets the same figure each visit unless the house has changed. We cover interior and exterior glass as separate jobs, and on this visit we only do the outside.
| 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 Salonga customers book both services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. In the spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In the fall the leaf load is the main problem, and clogged gutters full of wet leaves can pull a run away from the fascia over a winter and invite water damage. Across New York, our spring visits run late May to June, and fall visits in Fort Salonga run November to early December. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we look at the house before we set the calendar.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters full between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we wash them. Multi-story buildings and tall homes with steep roofs run longer on the ladder, so they need a longer slot. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass and more runoff in the gutters. On our jobs those are the places where a yearly schedule stops working.
You will see when the windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will see when the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout. Until then the glass and the runs can wait for the next scheduled visit.
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 cleaning services are for homeowners who want the job done by people who stay on the ladder for the whole visit. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with your stories, and once the estimate is confirmed we set the date. Lead times depend on the season, and the two busy windows of the year fill our calendar fastest. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We clean every window on the outside of the house that can be reached from the ground or from a boom or scissor lift, including the upper-story panes and sills. The windows inside are not part of this visit. If you are comparing window cleaning services, we run the same professional window cleaning crew for the exterior glass and the gutters, so you deal with one set of people for both. Plenty of owners ask whether window cleaners also do gutters, and here the answer is yes. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and both show from the street. This page is written for houses, so if you live in a condo or need residential and commercial work quoted, call (866) 435-6328 before you book.
Q: Do window cleaners also clean gutters, and is it the same crew? A: Yes. The same two people clear the gutters and downspouts first, then do the glass, so there is one visit and one bill.
Q: What does it cost to clean the gutters and windows on a two-story house in Fort Salonga? A: For residential properties we set the number by stories and house size, and you get it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text before anything is booked.
Q: Is it worth having the outside of the windows cleaned if the inside stays as is? A: On a residential window in Fort Salonga the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so that is where the dirt builds up first, and cleaning the outside is how we remove dirt from the glass.
Q: When should I book? A: Our Fort Salonga customers usually book in the spring and in the fall. Across New York, spring visits run late May to June, and our fall visits run November to early December.
Q: Will dirty gutter water end up on the clean glass? A: No. We do gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters and downspouts is already gone before the panes are washed.
Q: Do you clean screens, sills and tracks, or are those extras? A: Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job on this visit, and the price we quote covers them.
Q: Do you clean inside the windows or do pressure washing? A: We do exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing.
Q: Do I need to be home, and what should I do before the crew arrives? A: You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
