Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that falls off the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this work in spring and fall, and our crew keeps the same schedule each year.
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.
Here is the direct answer: we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. We quote from those inputs, not from a fixed formula, so a photo of the front of the house helps us confirm the count before we arrive.
On our jobs, a few things change the quote. Window washing on a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and sometimes a boom or scissor lift. Picture windows, other oversized panes and large window counts add time to the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time as well. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, since no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our window cleaning services and are not billed as extras.
Across New York, our washing services follow the same pattern. A window with a film of grime from the road is a standard cleaning, but when the buildup has been left for a long time it takes longer to lift. Regular cleanings keep the buildup light, so a window cleaned on schedule takes less time than one left for a year. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only. Tell us the window count and the stories when you call (866) 435-6328, and we settle the number before we arrive. A photo of the front of the house also helps, because it shows us the layout before the visit.

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 both gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and in fall. We do both on the same visit, which is why one crew makes sense for this calendar. The same timing fits residential and commercial buildings across New York, so the window and gutter schedule works the same way for either.
In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and pollen paste collects in the gutters. Pollen paste does not rinse off with plain water, so the crew uses the right cleaning solutions for the film. In fall, the leaf load comes down, and wet leaves pack the downspouts and leave clogged gutters behind. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we check the roofline before we set the visit.
Some houses, and multi-story buildings in particular, need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction all leave more residue between cleanings. Our crew sees the spots that come back a day after a cleaning on these houses, and we plan the extra visit with you. Interior glass is not part of these visits, so the windows inside stay as they are.
You know the glass needs cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. Left alone, clogged gutters can send water damage into the fascia and siding. Both signs are worth checking before the next scheduled visit.
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 exterior windows and gutters across Glenville and the surrounding area, and we keep a steady schedule for both services. Our professional window cleaning covers every window on the outside of the house, with the sill under each one wiped. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text with your estimated stories and a photo of the house front, and we return the estimate the same day when the details are complete. Lead times vary with the season, so ask us to schedule service for the next open slot when you call.
Our crew works from a professional route, so the visit runs in one pass. Many window cleaners run a separate trip for the gutters, but ours does both in one visit. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew brings its own water and equipment.
Spring and fall fill up quickly, since that is when most of our customers book their cleaning services. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal before a sale or a family event. If you want a particular date, book early. We schedule service in order of the calls we receive, so an early booking protects your slot and gives your crew a window to plan around.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they start with the gutters. That keeps debris from landing on clean glass.
The quote comes from the stories and the window count, since a residential window on the second floor takes more time than one at ground level. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us those details with a photo of the front of the house.
On our jobs, the outside carries road dust, grime and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Clean glass outside lets more light through, and for most residential properties a cleaning also helps remove dirt from the frame.
Across New York, most customers book in spring and fall. Spring cleaning clears the winter grime and seed buildup, and fall cleaning clears the leaves before the first hard freeze.
Not if we do it in order. Gutters first and glass last means the grit and runoff from the gutters are cleared before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the same pass when they are reachable from outside.
Not on this visit. We clean exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service. The same goes for condos: the outside glass is what we clean.
You do not need to be home. Turn off sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and unlock any side gates.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
