Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book it for the spring and fall.
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.
Gutter and window cleaning costs are set by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking window and gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than booking them separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it comes from those two things plus a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo, and we will book a date.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones every time. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Windows with oversized panes or a lot of picture windows take longer on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more time before we can flush a single downspout. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not something cleaning removes, so we note it on the visit rather than promise it away. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping, cleaning solutions and the ladder work are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Some people ask whether residential and commercial buildings are priced differently, and the answer starts with the same stories and window count. Booking gutters and glass together, every time, is what keeps the number down across the two cleanings a year. Across New York we get the exact number by asking for three things: the stories, the window count, and a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to tell you the cost before anyone climbs a ladder, and it is the same number you see on the invoice, with any change explained before the work starts. Ask for a written estimate and we will send it the same day we talk.

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 customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and that is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
On our Geddes jobs, what we find at the spring visit is pollen. It forms a film on south-facing glass and a paste in the gutters, and the downspout elbows pack with seeds. In the fall we are dealing with the leaf load, the wet mat that builds up in the runs, and wind or storm seasons that move the dates around. Heavy tree cover over the roof means the needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so those houses end up on every three to four months instead of twice a year. Houses with a sprinkler line that hits the glass need a third visit as well, because the spots that come back a day later are mineral, not dirt. A house near a busy road or an active construction site collects grime faster than a quiet street.
When cleaning services are scheduled well, the work does not need to be redone. Professional window cleaning on a regular schedule keeps the glass from building up the haze you only notice when the sun is low, and keeps the curb appeal you paid for in the first place. Gutters on a steady schedule, with regular cleanings, keep clogged gutters from forming, which is what stops water damage to the fascia and the soffit. On multi-story buildings the upper runs are the first to go, so the schedule matters more the higher the roofline goes.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 residential properties across Geddes, and residential window cleaning is the same work whether it is a single family house or one of the condos with a shared roofline. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, we give you the estimate, and we book a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our calendar fills up in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, so the earlier you schedule service the better your slot. Outside of those windows the lead time is shorter. Every window on the outside of the house gets done in the same visit as the gutters, and every sill gets wiped on the way out. Clean windows and clear gutters on the same day is the whole point of one crew doing both.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and the gutter work happen in one visit by the same two people, and we do the gutters first and the glass last so the runoff never lands on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text from those details. Ask for the written estimate and we will send it the same day.
On our Geddes jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and that grime sits on the glass whether the inside is clean or not. Cleaning the outside keeps the glass clear where the light comes in, and it helps remove dirt the rain leaves behind.
Most of our customers book it in spring and fall, after the pollen and leaf drop. Book early in those seasons because the calendar fills fast.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. When the runs are cleared first, the grit and water stop before they reach the panes, so nothing lands on clean glass.
Screens get rinsed, sills get wiped, and tracks are part of the visit. None of those are billed as extras.
No. We don't clean windows inside the house on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and our washing services here cover the outside only, with no pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
