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 the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, spring and fall are when most homeowners book, and we work the same way on every house we visit.
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.

On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. A window count that includes oversized panes or picture windows takes longer on each pane. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more hands, and guards we have to lift and reseat add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate question, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the phone we ask for the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to tell you the number before a truck is booked, and it is the same number you pay after the crew leaves. Cleaning solutions for the glass are included, and the crew brings its own water and pole. The number on the phone covers only the outside, since interior and exterior work are different jobs and are quoted separately if you want both.
To get your number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories and a rough window count. We will reply with the figure and what it covers, and you can decide from there whether the bundle makes sense for your property. Booking regular cleanings means the same quote method applies, from the house you already have.

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 jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across New York, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit in late September to October. Here is what we actually find on the glass and in the gutters at each visit.
In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters and downspout elbows. In fall, the leaf load comes down in a wet mat, and across New York nor'easters push that mat into clogged gutters, where water damage usually starts at the fascia. Houses under heavy tree cover and multi-story buildings often need a third visit because needles and grit keep packing the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is the other common reason for a third visit, and those are the spots that come back a day after cleaning.
Some houses near a busy road or a construction site also need more frequent visits, because dust settles on the frames faster than it would elsewhere. Rain does not remove dirt from the glass on its own; it carries the film down the frame and leaves it on the sill. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most owners expect, and the haze on windows inside the house is often the outside glass. We will tell you after the first visit which schedule your property actually needs.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running into 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 gutters and windows at residential properties across the Glens Falls area, and the estimate comes first. We offer professional window cleaning and gutter work as one booking, so window and gutter cleaning is quoted as a single number. You call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you the number and the approximate lead time before anything is booked. If a building is residential and commercial in mix, such as a shop under apartments, say so up front and we confirm the crew takes it before quoting. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The busy weeks are the late-spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills fastest. Booking early in those months helps you get a slot that matches your schedule. Each residential window is cleaned from outside, and a single visit leaves clean windows and clear gutters and downspouts on the same day, covering every window and every run on the house, including the sill and the frame.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. We will confirm the date by text, and you will receive photos of the finished work before we leave.
Yes. Our washing services for windows and gutters are done by the same two people on the ladder. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof never lands on the windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text before booking. We do not quote it from a list, because each house is a little different.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime here: spring film from the trees, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that wash onto the frame. Inside glass will still look hazy if the outside has not been cleaned to remove dirt, so the exterior visit is the one that changes how the window looks.
Most of our customers book in late spring and again in late fall, and that is when we plan the year around. Across New York, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late September to October.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, then let the wall stop dripping before anyone touches the glass. That order keeps grit and black water off the panes we have just cleaned, and it also means water that spills over the edge is dealt with before it can cause water damage at the foundation.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior visit. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside, including on condos. None of those is billed as an extra.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not pressure wash. If you want the inside done, that is a separate booking.
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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
