Yes, the same two people do the gutters and the exterior window cleaning services in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. 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 this in spring and fall, when the dust and leaves come down hardest. Book online or call (866) 435-6328 now.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Doing both of these cleaning services in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately, and we will show you the difference when we quote. The estimate works the same way for residential and commercial exteriors. Nothing in the price is an extra for the parts of the job people usually ask about: downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are included.
On our jobs the quote moves for a handful of reasons. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows, which take more time per pane. Badly clogged gutters, the kind nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, cost more to clear than a run that was done last season. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove, so we flag it on the walk-around. A run that overflows at the edge can also lead to water damage at the fascia, and we flag that too.
The cleanings we do most often on our Freeport jobs are the ones where a customer keeps the same schedule year after year, because the regular cleanings are quicker and cleaner than letting grime build up. Owners who book the same crew each visit tend to get a more accurate number from the start. To get that number from us, send a photo of the front of the house by text along with the number of stories and a rough count of the windows, and we will tell you what the job should cost. Glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so there is no residue left to attract the next round of grime. We clean the exterior only on this visit, so we do not quote interior and exterior glass together.
| 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, the two busy windows are spring and fall, and most people who book both do it twice a year, once after the spring bloom and once after the leaves come down. Our professional window cleaning crew sees the same thing each time: a pollen film on south-facing glass and sticky tree residue packed into the gutters in the spring, then a wet leaf mat in the fall. Those two visits cover most houses, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for the schedule.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof fills the gutters and downspouts between cleanings, and clogged gutters overflow in the next rain. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grit, and the glass shows it faster. Multi-story buildings with high panes are also on a tighter schedule, because the windows are harder to see from the ground and the dirt builds up unnoticed.
You will usually see when windows need cleaning in a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain. If you see either, one cleaning is enough to tell you where the house stands. Most people find that the first visit sets the pattern for the rest of the year, so the second booking is simple to plan. Clean glass also helps curb appeal 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 gutters and exterior windows on residential properties across the city, including condos, and the crew comes out the same way each time. The first step is a short estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. From there we set a date. Lead times depend on how full the calendar is, and the busy weeks in spring and fall fill first, so booking early helps. Call (866) 435-6328 to book. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
When you book window and gutter cleaning with us, every residential window on the house is on the list, including the small ones over the entry and the sill beneath each pane. Sills are wiped and the frames are cleaned, so the glass looks finished from the street. For a home with a lot of glass, the estimate asks about every window, not only the front of the house, so the number you get covers the whole job. Ask us to schedule service for the whole house in one visit, and the crew will tell you the day before they arrive.
Yes. Our own two-person crew handles both our gutter and window washing services, and we do the gutters first and the glass last so the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows. It is one visit with one crew.
Our cleaning services are priced by the stories and the window count, so we give the number by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front, and we will quote the whole job.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here: pollen in the spring, rain dust, and spots from sprinklers. Cleaning the windows inside will not remove that outside film, so the crew works on the outside to remove dirt.
Across New York most people book spring and fall, after the spring bloom and after the leaves come down. Those are the two visits that cover most houses.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so we wait a few minutes for the wall to stop dripping before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and the frames are cleaned as part of the job. They are not billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass and we do not pressure wash on this job, so those are not included.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the 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.
