Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and we give you the number on the phone that we will charge on the invoice.
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.
Professional window cleaning is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking window washing and gutter cleaning separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof changes how the crew works the ladder and the boom or scissor lift. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes that take more time per square foot. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Clogged gutters that overflow for a long time can lead to water damage at the fascia, so the crew checks the edge before the quote. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, and no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
The fastest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough window count. Across New York, we find that a photo of the front and a count of stories gets us to a firm number without a site visit. You can also call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through it with you. If curb appeal is the reason you are calling, say so, and the quote still follows the work, not the look. The crew has seen enough houses to tell you what your roofline and glass will need before we pull up.

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 customers book both twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. To schedule service, call or text us and we will check the calendar. Across New York, spring visits run from late May to June, and fall visits run from November to early December, after the last leaves drop.
In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters. We clean every window on the house in the same visit, because one missed pane shows in low sun. In fall, the leaf load is the main problem, and wet leaves on the gutters can sag hangers before winter. Across New York, storm seasons, including nor'easters, move the dates some years, so the crew watches the forecast and calls ahead.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than most. We see the signs on the first visit and tell you which schedule your house needs. Ask for a regular cleanings plan and we will set the dates.
You will know the windows need it when you see haze only in low sun. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain.
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 exterior windows across the Garden City area, and we set up the schedule by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a date. Lead time is set by our calendar at the time you call. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when pollen and leaves drive demand. Those are the weeks the calendar fills, so booking early helps. We call before we come, and we send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the crew leaves.
We clean the outside of windows for residential properties and commercial clients, including condos and multi-story buildings. We handle washing services and window cleaning services, and the purified water we use on the glass removes dirt and grime from the glass and sills. We also clear gutters and downspouts so the runoff goes where it should. Our work is exterior only, so interior glass is not part of the visit.
Yes, our crew does both in one visit for residential and commercial jobs. Two people work the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run onto clean windows.
We do not quote a figure off a chart. The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
Interior and exterior glass pick up different dirt, and on our jobs the outside carries most of the problem. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass, and the inside can look fine while the outside looks hazy in low sun.
Across New York most customers book in spring and fall. Spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run November to early December. Ask for a date and we will check the calendar.
No, we clean gutters first and glass last. When the gutters are cleared and flushed, the runoff stops before anyone touches the windows, so nothing dirty runs back across the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and neither is billed as an extra. The glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to streak.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, including large picture windows. We do not clean windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. The crew brings its own water and equipment.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
