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 costs less than two separate trips. Across New York, most homeowners who book this do it in spring and fall, and that is the rhythm we work to.
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 window washing and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking both in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes and picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years, guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers all move the quote. Grime that has baked onto the glass takes extra passes. Flushing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and this visit covers the exterior only.
On the day, the crew checks the roofline, counts the runs and walks the glass before setting up the ladder. Houses with a third story, or other multi-story buildings, take longer, and so do clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves or a roof too steep to walk. We say so before we start. Hard-water spots from sprinklers do not come off with cleaning, so we flag them on the visit rather than surprise you with them later.
On our German Flatts jobs, what drives the number is the same few things each time. Our washing services for houses in German Flatts are priced the same way. The fastest way to get an exact figure is to send us a photo of the front of the house by text along with the number of stories and a rough window count, then we give you the number from there. Call (866) 435-6328 if you would rather talk it through first. Later cleanings are quoted from the same two numbers. The price is not an estimate that drifts once we are on the ladder; it is the number on the invoice.

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 cleaning twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on a standard house. Across New York the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and on our German Flatts jobs the fall visit runs October to early November. The spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters, and the fall visit clears the leaf load before it packs, so clogged gutters are the first thing the crew checks on that visit. Cleaning solutions and rinse water work the same on either visit, but the buildup differs by season, so the crew checks each house on the day. Windows inside are a separate job and are never part of either visit.
Some houses need a third visit, and regular cleanings fit those houses more closely than the usual two. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road tends to build up faster, and the spots that come back a day after cleaning are usually a sprinkler problem rather than dirt. Across New York, nor'easters can move the dates, so we book the visit once the weather settles. A gutter that overflows in a storm sends runoff down the wall, and that can lead to water damage near the foundation.
You will see when windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in rain. The wettest months here are June, July and October, with about 52 inches of precipitation a year, so that is when the clogged gutters show up fastest. Either way, the crew gives you a photo of the run before we leave, and rain alone does not remove dirt from the glass.
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.
Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, and that is how you schedule service. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the price and the first open date. The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so the earlier you call, the easier it is to get the slot you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew has worked across German Flatts and nearby areas, and we book window cleaning services for residential and commercial buildings with the same two-person crew. Window cleaners who do both jobs can run one schedule instead of two, which is why a single visit covers every window and every run without a second setup. Professional window cleaning on the outside of the house keeps the curb appeal you see from the street, and the sill gets wiped on every visit.
Give us a call at (866) 435-6328 and we will schedule service around your timing. Lead times are on the phone, so ask us what the next open date is.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Booking both together keeps the work on one schedule.
The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and condos and residential properties are quoted the same way. Send us a photo of the house front by text and we give you the figure from there.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the residential window load here: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and the rinse is what helps remove dirt from it. Leaving the windows inside alone is fine, and the outside still needs its own cleaning.
Across New York most customers book in spring and fall. On our German Flatts jobs the spring visit catches the pollen and the fall visit clears the leaf load.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, and any runoff from the gutters would land on the glass, so the glass waits until the gutters are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the visit.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing here, and we say so before we start.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
