The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. Both jobs in a single visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips, and we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Across New York we book the most gutter and window work in spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up fastest. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service.
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 a bundled visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and no price is set until we know those two things.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized panes, picture windows included, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clogged gutters that have sat for years can also mean water damage at the eaves, and that gets priced once the crew sees it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across New York the houses we see most often fall into the same few patterns, so the first step is getting the exact number. Send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the crew expects to find. For a window and gutter cleaning, a clear photo of the front and side gives us most of what we need, and a rough count of the windows on each floor is enough to firm up the estimate. Because we do the gutters first, the runs above the glass are cleared before anyone touches a pane, so nothing drips back onto the clean windows.
Plan on the price covering cleanings of the whole outside: the gutters, the downspouts, and the glass on every side. The glass gets rinsed with purified water, and no cleaning solutions are left on the frame. We do not clean windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not pressure wash. If you want the interior and exterior handled together, we will say so on the phone so the two are not confused.
Our price holds for the job described, and if the crew finds more than the photo showed, we tell you before we start.

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 regular cleanings twice a year, and the spring visit falls in late May to June. The fall visit runs late October to November, and in Geneva the timing follows the same calendar. Booking both at the same visit is what makes one crew in one trip sensible.
In spring the glass shows a pollen film on the south-facing side, and the gutters hold a paste of seed and grit in the elbows. In fall the leaf load is what we find, and on houses where the fall visit was skipped we see runs that sag under the weight of wet leaves. Storms such as the nor'easters that hit across New York move these dates a little, so our window cleaners book against the weather rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof packs needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and a sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings near a busy road or a construction site also collect more grime on the glass. On a house like that we will suggest a third visit, and we will tell you why.
On the glass, the sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low, and that haze takes away from curb appeal. On the gutters, the sign is water sheeting over the edge in rain, which points to a blocked run. If you see either one, that is the time to book.
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 do window and gutter cleaning across Geneva, and the booking process is the same for every house. You call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm estimate. Booking professional window cleaning this way means the estimate comes first, and then we set a date and schedule service.
Lead time is listed as a programmatic field on the booking form. In the busy windows of the year, when leaf season and the spring calendar overlap, our schedule fills, so the sooner you book, the sooner the crew can come out. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and the gutters go first so nothing drips onto the clean windows.
We clean residential properties of most sizes. Each residential window is done on the outside, with the sill and the frame included, and every window on the outside gets the same treatment. Each visit covers the gutters and downspouts too, so there are no surprises about what was missed. If you have a picture window or an unusual shape, tell us when you book so the crew brings the right ladder or pole. This page is about residential work. If you need a residential and commercial quote for one property, call and we will tell you whether the crew can take it.
Yes, and it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first, then the glass, in one visit, so the water and grit from the roof never reach a clean window.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those two things.
Yes, because the outside carries the dust, the rain residue and the sprinkler spotting that come through the glass first. Cleaning the outside is how we remove dirt from the panes, and clean inside glass can still look hazy from the outside grime.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, when the leaf load and the spring build-up are heaviest. Across New York we follow the same spring and fall pattern.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters runs back down the wall and across the panes, so the order is the reason the job works.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are done as part of our washing services. They are not billed as extras.
We clean the exterior of the windows only on this visit. Interior glass and pressure washing are not part of it, and we will say so when you book.
You do not need to be home. If you live in one of the condos, check first who is responsible for the exterior glass. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
