Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and handle the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, which is how we run professional window cleaning. We price it 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 window and gutter cleaning is booked in spring and fall, which is when the leaves and grime build up on the glass and in the gutters.
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.
The price depends on how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries. Both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give 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 work out a written estimate from there.
Five things move the quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. A large number of oversized picture windows takes more time on each pane. Heavily clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with leaves and seed, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a regular cleaning, and we tell you that before the crew starts.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We do not use cleaning solutions on the glass beyond purified water, so there is nothing to add to the bill for them. We price exterior work only, so interior and exterior glass are never quoted as one job. Residential and commercial jobs are priced on the same basis, by stories and window count. Regular cleanings are quoted the same way, so a repeat visit is built from the same stories and window count.
On our Grand Island jobs, the quote usually moves most with the number of windows on the back of the house, which is where the picture windows and sliders tend to sit. Ask for the estimate with the back of the house in the photo as well as the front, and we will send back a written number that is the same as 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 homeowners book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and those cleanings are why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. In Grand Island the fall visit falls in late October to November, and across New York the spring visit usually falls in late May to June. Those visits line up with the pollen, the leaf drop and the first hard weather.
In spring, the downspout elbows fill with seed and sap, and the south-facing glass is coated in a yellow film. In fall, it is the wet leaf mat in the gutters and the rain dust that sits on the frames until the first storm washes it down the wall. Storm and wind seasons, including the nor'easters that cross New York, can move the dates a few weeks in either direction. Gutters left to overflow in a wet fall can also cause water damage at the fascia and sills.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so those customers are on a shorter schedule than twice a year. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and we add a visit for those. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass, which can justify an extra visit too.
Windows need cleaning sooner than you think when the haze only shows up when the sun is low, and that haze hurts curb appeal from the street. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either, text us a photo and we will tell you what it is.
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 provide window and gutter cleaning services across Grand Island, for residential properties and commercial buildings, including multi-story buildings where the work is done from a boom or scissor lift. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and a residential window job is booked the same way. From that we give you a written estimate and a date. Lead time depends on the season and is confirmed when you book, so check the date we give you against your own schedule.
The two busy windows are the spring and fall visits, when the pollen, leaves and grime are heaviest. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside. We will schedule service around your gate and driveway, and we confirm the window the day before.
Every window on the outside of the house is included in the estimate, including the sill and the upper-story glass, so there is no separate call for the second floor. Clean windows last longer between visits, and a single visit covers the whole exterior, which is why most of our customers stay on the same schedule year to year. Tell us about any window that is hard to reach and we will note it on the estimate before the crew arrives.
Yes, it is the same crew, and our washing services run the gutters first and the exterior glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean windows.
Our window cleaning services are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and we give that number by phone or text. That number is the number on the invoice. The same goes for condos.
The outside carries tree seed, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, so the glass looks hazy even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside alone is a normal job for us, and it is how we remove dirt the rain leaves on the glass.
Across New York, spring visits usually fall in late May to June, and most of our Grand Island customers book the fall visit in late October to November. Those dates follow the leaf drop, and we can move them if the weather shifts.
No, because we clear the gutters and downspouts first and do the glass last. Every downspout is flushed before anyone touches a window, which keeps the runoff off the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are done as part of the job. Tracks are included on the same visit.
We clean the outside of the glass only on this visit, so windows inside the house are not part of the job. We do not do pressure washing either.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Unlock the side gate and that is all.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
