The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the roof lands on clean glass. We price the bundle by the number of stories, and both jobs together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New York, most homeowners who book us do it in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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 and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate cleanings, and the exact bundle saving is shown on your estimate.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, window count and oversized picture windows, clogged gutters 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 no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The glass is rinsed with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left behind to dry as residue.
Across New York, the cleanest way to get an exact number is a text with the front of the house and your story count. The quote covers the outside of the house, and interior and exterior glass are never priced as one combined job. Tell us how many stories and roughly how many windows, and we will come back with a figure before anyone books a date. The same process covers residential and commercial properties. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house now, and ask for a written estimate if you want the scope on paper first.

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, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run November to early December. Most of our customers book regular cleanings in both seasons, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste sits in the gutters, and fall is when the leaf load and road grime arrive. Nor'easters across New York can shift the dates, so we work from the calendar rather than a fixed schedule.
Some houses need a third visit. We see it most often under heavy tree cover where the roof is constantly shedding and the gutters clog between visits, on homes where a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, and on multi-story buildings near a busy road or construction. Those are the places where professional window cleaning and cleaning services get booked more often than the average home. Left alone, clogged gutters can send water behind the fascia, and that is how water damage starts.
You will know the windows need it when a film of grime shows up only when the sun is low, and that haze takes away from the curb appeal of the whole front of the house. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspouts. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you which pattern your house is in.
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 schedule window and gutter cleaning across Hicksville on a first-come basis, and the estimate is the first step. Send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the quote and the earliest open date. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills first, so the sooner you ask, the sooner the crew can come.
We clean residential properties and serve residential window and gutter needs, including condos, and our crew treats every window on the house, including the sill and the frame, so you get clean windows top to bottom. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so you get a heads-up on arrival, and you keep the schedule you set. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house.
Yes. Our washing services cover both, and it is the same two people on the same visit. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, then do the glass, so nothing from the gutters runs down onto clean windows.
The number comes from your story count and window count, which we quote by phone or text. We do not give a figure here because the exact price depends on the size and how much grime and debris is in the gutters.
Usually the outside is what needs it most here. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior, and the windows inside are a separate question we do not handle on this visit.
Across New York most of our customers book in spring and fall. The exact months depend on the season, and we will tell you which window fits your house when you call (866) 435-6328.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. Once the gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed, the runoff has a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the exterior job, and the rinse is how we remove dirt from the mesh. We do not bill them as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing, and interior and exterior glass are not bundled into one visit, so the scope stays on the outside of the house.
No, you do not need to be home. If you own one of several condos in a building, tell us which windows and gutters are yours before the visit. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the lifts are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
