Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your 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 both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book it in spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves are heaviest.
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. Booking the gutters and the exterior glass together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A window count that runs high, or oversized panes, takes longer on every side. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles, leaves, grime and grit, need more passes than a run that is kept up, and clogged gutters that back water up are the slowest runs on any job. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate job that no cleaning removes. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing the screens and wiping the sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across New York the houses that come in with the highest quotes are the ones with the most glass and the most roofline, not the ones that look dirtiest from the street. A homeowner who sends a photo of the front and the back by text, along with the story count and a rough window count, gets an exact number in writing. That is how we keep the phone quote and the invoice the same. Our crew uses the same method for residential and commercial jobs alike, so picture windows on the back of the house and tall windows on the side get the same care and the same measured approach. We rinse with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so there is no soap film left on the glass after the crew leaves. Ask for a written estimate and we will break down the stories, the window count and the gutter runs so you can see what the number covers before you book the cleanings.
| 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 |

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 both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. On our Glen Cove jobs the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the damp grit packed into the gutter elbows, and the fall visit catches the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs after the trees drop. Clean windows and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and the spring visit is when most of the winter film shows. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we book from what the house looks like, not from the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, so those customers book regular cleanings every few months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that return a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a grey film that comes back fast. Clogged gutters that overflow send runoff down the siding, and that is how water damage starts at the fascia, so a run that sheets water gets booked sooner. For multi-story buildings we set the schedule run by run, so the upper glass and the back gutters are done on the same pass.
We cannot give you a single customer example for this page yet, so we are not going to invent one. What we can tell you is the signs. Window glass needs cleaning when you see a haze on it only when the sun is low, and gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you whether the house needs a spring visit, a fall visit or both.
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 window and gutter jobs on residential properties across Glen Cove, and we will come out to any house that needs the outside of every window cleaned in the same visit as the gutters. Booking works the same way for everyone: you send the number of stories and a photo of the house front by text or call, we give you a written estimate, and we call before we come. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but a clear side gate and cars off the driveway help the crew move the ladders.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and those are when our calendar fills fastest. If you want window and gutter cleaning in one of those windows, book early so the slot is held. Professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning are one booking, so our window cleaning services and the gutter work come as one quote and one visit. Outside those windows there is usually room to schedule service on short notice. Every window on the outside of the house gets the same measured clean, and the sill under each one is wiped as part of the job. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will reply with a written estimate.
Yes. Our crew does both the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the windows last, so the dirt from the gutters never lands on clean glass.
There is no flat figure we can quote for this house. The number comes from the stories, the window count and what is in the gutters, and you can get it by phone or by text with a photo of the front of the house. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count.
The outside carries most of what dulls a window here: tree dust in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. Cleaning only the windows inside still leaves the outer film on the panes, which is why the outside is where the work counts most.
Across New York most customers book in spring and fall. On our Glen Cove jobs that means the spring visit and the fall visit, so book in those windows.
Not with our order of work. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves, the grit and the black water under them come down before any window is touched.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are cleaned on request and noted on the estimate before the crew arrives.
Not on this visit. Our window washing services cover the outside glass only, so interior and exterior glass is not part of this booking, and we do not do pressure washing on this job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have a question before we come.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
