Yes, the same two people clean the 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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book the pair in spring and fall, so the calendar fills up in those seasons.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window washing and the washing services for the gutters go on one quote, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will work out the quote from there.
Four things move the quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Oversized panes and picture windows take more time per pane than standard sash. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take a longer clearing. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment, and none of our window cleaning services removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, so you will not see them added after the crew leaves. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, so this quote covers the exterior only.
The jobs that give us the most trouble are the ones where the glass has never been cleaned alongside the gutters. Grime from the roofline settles on the outside of the panes, and the cleanings that follow take longer than regular cleanings on a house kept up each year. Ask for the exact number by sending the stories, the window count, and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what is included before anyone is booked.
| 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, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters, and the film often needs cleaning solutions on top of water. In fall the leaf load builds up and then sits wet, and the storms that come through in late fall move the dates we can reach each run. Pollen settles on residential and commercial buildings alike, so the same film shows up on both.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the gutters between visits, and a gutter that stays clogged long enough can cause water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets a film of dust on the glass that clings faster than the rain can clear it. Multi-story buildings need the pole and extra time to reach the upper panes, so they run longer on every visit. We will tell you after the first visit which of those your house needs.
You can usually tell windows need a cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout. Those two signs are the easy ones to catch from the ground. A hose rinse will not remove dirt that has dried onto the pane, and haze on the windows inside the house is a separate question that is not part of this 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 crew cleans gutters and windows on residential properties across the city, and our window cleaning services cover every window and every run of gutter on the house in the same visit. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We will confirm a window and call before we come, so you know when the truck is in the driveway. Lead time depends on the season, and the busiest weeks are the pollen window in spring and the leaf window in fall, so book early if you want a particular day.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew stays outside and does not come inside. The clean glass is the result of the same professional window cleaning that our crew does on every house, with purified water and a water-fed pole for the upper stories. Each residential window on an upper floor is reached with the pole, so the same clean reaches every pane. Plenty of window cleaners quote the glass alone, but clean glass and a clear roofline do more for curb appeal than either one does on its own. Schedule service through the phone or the text, and tell us about any picture windows, sill problems or runoff from the roof so the crew can plan the visit.
Yes. The same two-person crew does the gutters and downspouts plus the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Booking the pair together is the reason the bundle costs less than two trips.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we will give you the exact figure before any work is booked.
Yes, because the outside of each residential window carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and none of those come off when the inside is wiped. Clean windows inside the house do not stop outside grime from settling back onto the pane.
Across New York, most of our customers book spring and fall, so those are the windows we are busiest in. Book early if you want a particular day in either season. If you live in one of the condos in town, tell us the unit count when you call, because the quote follows the window count.
Not with our order of work. Gutters first, glass last: the roof is cleared, every downspout is flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then does the crew touch the glass. A wall left wet with gutter water can also cause water damage at the siding, which is why the crew rinses it before the glass. That is the reason the two jobs belong in one visit.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are cleaned to remove dirt before the glass is done. Those steps are part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side of the window.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing here, so ask us about other work when you book.
No, 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 the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
