Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We clean gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the roof never 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 in the spring and fall, after the spring rush and before the leaves drop. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us, and the estimate takes about a minute.
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 window washing and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking both in one visit costs less than two separate visits, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Quotes cover the washing services for every residential window on the list, so nothing is added at the end.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones we see from the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer. A large number of oversized picture windows takes longer than the same count of standard panes. Clogged gutters nobody has opened in years, packed with leaves and grit, need more time than a run cleaned twice a year. Heavy grime on the glass takes more passes than a light film. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can clean underneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning will not remove, and we flag it before a date is booked.
To get a number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the story count and a rough window count. We reply with a quote in writing before anyone books a date. Customers who use regular cleanings twice a year tend to keep the price steady, because the gutters stay light and the glass stays clear between visits. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, so a quote for this visit covers the outside only. If you have an unusual layout or a house with many small panes, say so in the text so the estimate reflects it. We will walk every window and every run, and we will tell you if we find anything else on the roof that needs attention, without trying to sell you a repair.

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 window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in the spring and in the fall. The spring visit clears the winter debris and the pollen that comes down in the warmer months. The fall visit clears the leaves before the first hard freeze and before the winter storms.
At each visit we find something different. In the spring, pollen forms a yellow film on south-facing glass and a paste in the gutters and downspout elbows. In the fall, the wet leaf mat is the main problem, and clogged gutters that hold water through a freeze can lead to water damage at the fascia. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we keep the booking flexible when the weather turns.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and those houses often need cleaning every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that return a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dirt on the windows and more debris in the gutters.
You will know windows need cleaning when the glass looks hazy only at a low sun angle. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so the glass dries without residue. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the 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.
Our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning happen in one visit, with one crew, on residential properties, condos and multi-story buildings. This page describes the typical home; for residential and commercial buildings, ask us about the scope before you book. We take the estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, and the first step is the story count and a photo of the house front. Our crew calls before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We do not come inside the house, and windows inside the house are not part of this visit.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and the fall, when the leaves and spring dust land on the homes. Our calendar fills in those months, so schedule service early if you want a particular date. Outside those windows, slots open up more often. Professional window cleaning starts with a clear estimate, and we keep the same crew on the job from the first run to the last window so the work stays consistent. Our cleaning services use water to remove dirt from the glass, and clear gutters and glass add to curb appeal.
Yes. Our crew cleans gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the roof does not land on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, so we quote it by phone or text. Send us the story count and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the price before anyone books a date.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the dirt. Rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots land on the exterior glass, and they are what make a residential window look hazy. Cleaning the inside alone leaves that film in place.
Most of our customers book in the spring and the fall, after the spring dust settles and before the leaves drop. Across New York, that is the most common pattern we see on our jobs.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Leaves, grit and runoff from the gutters run down the wall and across the windows below, so the glass has to come last.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean the inside of the windows or do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. The crew sends photos of every run and window to your phone before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
