Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across New York, most of the homes we work on book this combined visit in spring and fall, so the crew is already set up for it.
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 the window and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, for residential and commercial jobs alike. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras; interior and exterior glass are quoted as separate work.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs that need the lift, the window count and any oversized picture windows, gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning solutions alone will not remove. Each one changes the time on the roof or the ladder, so each one changes the price. The fastest way to get an exact number is to tell us the stories and the window count and text a photo of the front of the house.
Here is a pattern we see often. A homeowner books only the windows, then the gutters overflow in the next storm and the grime from the same runoff lands on the glass again. Doing both in one visit, with the gutters cleared first, avoids that. Ask us for a written estimate before the crew comes out so you know the number ahead of time. The houses we clean across New York follow the same order of work, which is why the number holds once the crew is on site.
| 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 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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 here book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On the glass in spring we find pollen film on the south-facing windows and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs after the trees drop. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates by a few weeks, so we watch the weather and call before we come.
Some houses on regular cleanings need a third visit. We see that most with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit leave clogged gutters between cleanings. We also see it when a sprinkler line hits the glass, because those spots come back a day after cleaning and need the mineral treatment on the next visit. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the glass and the runs, and those houses come back sooner too.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout, and left alone, the overflow can cause water damage.
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.
Our window and gutter cleaning crew works on residential properties across the area, and we fit each job to the house and its residential window count in front of us. Booking runs on a simple sequence: you call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories with a photo of the house front, we give you a number, and we set a date. Dates shift with the time of year, so we check open days by phone before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills fastest. Booking early in those months gives you more choice of day. If you have a specific date in mind, tell us when you call and we will see whether the crew can take it. We will schedule service around the weather and tell you if a day has to move.
Every window on the outside of the house is part of the job, including the upper floors of multi-story buildings, and the sill and frame get wiped as well. Clean windows do a lot for curb appeal, and the difference shows right away after a rain, so it is worth doing the whole house in one pass.
Yes, the washing services we offer cover both, and on our jobs the same two-person crew does the gutters and the glass in one visit. We clear the gutters first and wash the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not end up on the windows we just finished.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and condos are quoted the same way as houses. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what it comes to.
On the houses we clean, the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are what you see through the glass. Professional window cleaning of the outside is what clears them, and cleaning the inside alone leaves them in place.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and again in the fall. Those are the two times the pollen and the leaves build up enough to matter.
Not if the order is right. The crew clears the gutters and downspouts first, so the leaves, grit and black water come down before anyone washes the windows below them.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, and the sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the standard visit, and any heavy buildup on them is mentioned on the phone before the crew arrives.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, and windows inside the house and pressure washing are not part of it.
No, 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.
