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 the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this combined visit in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 stories and approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we quote on the phone is the number we charge, and the starting figures we give you on the call are where that number begins. Every quote covers window washing on the outside of the house, done by the same window cleaners who clear the gutters, so the figure you hear is the figure you pay.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof makes the ladder work slower, and professional window cleaning on a house like that takes longer than on a single-story ranch. Window count matters, and so do picture windows and other oversized panes that need more time. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer than a light run. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another factor, because ordinary cleaning solutions do not remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
A two-story house with a long run of clogged gutters is a typical version of this job. The downspouts are often blocked at the elbows, and panes near the sill can show water damage, so the quote rises for the extra time those need. Each run is photographed, and the photos go to the customer before the crew leaves. If you want the exact number for your house, call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and window count, or send a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will give you a firm figure.
We also tell you when a job has signs of water damage behind the fascia, or when a run of clogged gutters is a slope problem and not just debris. Quotes cover the outside only, so the windows inside are a separate job. Clean gutters and glass also do a lot for curb appeal, but what to do about any of it is your decision.
| 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.
Across New York, most customers book cleaning services for gutters and windows together twice a year, once in late May or June and once in late October or November, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar.
In late spring a pollen film settles on the glass, most visible on south-facing panes and along the sill, and clean windows show the difference most once it comes off in the same visit as the gutters. The gutters fill with pollen paste that packs the downspout elbows. In the fall the leaf load is the main thing, and it arrives as a wet mat that holds water against the fascia. Nor'easters across New York can move these dates, so we look at the house and the trees, not the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third of these cleanings in a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round white spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects a fine dust on every window. Those are the cases where we suggest a third cleaning.
You can tell a residential window needs cleaning when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You can tell gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspouts.
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 have cleaned gutters and windows across New York, and the crew can usually fit a visit into the calendar without long waits. Our washing services and window cleaning services both start with an estimate. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we set a date and call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills during those weeks. If you want a slot in those months, schedule service early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside, and the side gate and the driveway are the only things we ask you to clear.
Our crew works on residential properties and commercial buildings, including condos and multi-story buildings. A large run of gutters and downspouts is no different from a small one, but a building with heavy grime or a lot of runoff takes more time. We remove dirt from the glass and the gutters and report anything else we find in the photo set.
Yes, the same crew does both, on residential and commercial jobs alike. We clean the gutters first and then the outside of the windows in one visit, so you book one appointment and get one invoice.
The cost for a two-story house depends on the stories, the window count and the size of the house, and oversized picture windows take more time than standard panes. We give you the number by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without seeing those details.
Often, yes. The outside of the glass carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those stay on the outside even when the inside is clean. Ordinary cleaning solutions will not lift sprinkler spots, which need a mineral treatment, and the crew flags them on the visit. Clean windows keep the view and the light coming through the panes.
Across New York most customers book regular cleanings in late May or June and again in late October or November, so spring and fall are the usual pattern.
No, the gutters go first and the glass goes last. When we clear a run, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so we rinse the wall before the windows are touched.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job when we are on the house, and we do not bill them as extras. We rinse screens and wipe sills as we go.
We do the exterior of the windows only on this visit. We do not do interior and exterior glass in one booking, or pressure washing, so the windows inside stay as they are.
You do not need to be home. The crew works outside and sends photos of every run and downspout to your phone before we leave. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
