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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book it in the spring and the fall, when pollen and leaves have built up on the house.
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 the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Multi-story buildings are quoted from the same count. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Oversized panes and picture windows are slower to do safely than standard sashes. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a cleaning and is flagged before we start. Gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
A house with a lot of grit and needles in the gutters takes more time than one cleaned on a regular schedule. Our cleaning solutions are chosen for the glass and the frame, and the gutter work is done with water. For a residential and commercial mix of clients, the same crew approach applies, and most of our interior and exterior jobs are scheduled as separate visits. To get the exact number, call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the front of the house, or book a date, and have your story count and window count ready.
Our Holbrook experience comes from how the jobs are booked here. The houses that come to us most often are on a regular plan, and the regular cleanings keep the gutters and glass from building up. For a picture window or a run that has sat unopened for a long time, the estimate is made before the crew is on the ladder, not on the day.

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.
On our Holbrook jobs most customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the house.
In the spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and a paste packed into the gutters. In the fall we find the leaf load, the wet mat that sits in the runs after the trees let go. Across New York the spring visit runs late May to June, and our fall visit here runs November to early December. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we book by the condition of the house rather than the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames. Our window cleaning services are scheduled around these, and window cleaners on our crew are trained to check the frame and sill as well as the pane.
Professional window cleaning on a regular schedule keeps the exterior looking the way the owner wants it, and it is the cheapest way we know to protect the curb appeal of a house. A clean gutter also protects the house from water damage, because a blocked run sends runoff down the wall rather than away from it.
You will see the sign that windows need cleaning as a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in the rain.
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 clean exterior glass and gutters across Holbrook, and we book the job by calling (866) 435-6328 or by text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we come back with an estimate. Most estimates are sent within the window our calendar shows for the week, and we call before we come so you know the crew is on the way.
Our window and gutter cleaning is done in one visit for most residential properties. A residential window that is high or hard to reach is handled from a boom or scissor lift rather than a leaning ladder, and every window on the house is checked before the crew leaves. The sill is wiped and the frame is cleaned along with the pane to remove dirt from the corners, so clean windows look the same on every side of the house.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring visit and the fall visit, and our calendar fills quickly in both. Across New York the spring visit runs late May to June, and our fall visit here runs November to early December, so if you want a slot, book early. Schedule service in advance and the crew can plan the lifts and the route.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and you can leave the side gate unlocked.
Yes, it is the same two people, and our washing services cover both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and debris from the roof never runs back across a window we have already done.
We do not quote a figure on the web. The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and condos are quoted the same way. We give it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328.
On the houses we clean here, the outside carries the grime, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots. Those build up on the glass whether or not the inside is clean, so the outside is the part that needs the regular visit.
Most of our Holbrook customers book in the spring and again in the fall. For Holbrook, the fall visit runs November to early December, and across New York the spring visit runs late May to June.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When the runs are cleared, the grit and the black water come down the wall, so the glass has to wait until that has stopped.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on most houses, and we flag any that need more work before we start.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside on this visit, and 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, 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.
