Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof lands on your clean windows. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across New York we book most of our window and gutter work in spring and fall, when the leaves and grit are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for an estimate.
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 quote window washing and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our washing services and gutter work are one quote, and gutters and windows done together in one visit cost less than booking the two jobs separately, and the bundle saving is shown on your quote.
On our jobs the things that move the number are a third story on a condo or a roof too steep to walk, a large count of windows or oversized panes, gutters nobody has opened in years and 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.
Across New York, the first thing we ask for is a photo of the front of the house and a count of the stories. Those two details let us give a firm number over the phone, and window cleaning services and gutter work are priced from the same walk-around. Grime on the glass and runoff from the roof are both handled on the same visit, since the crew will remove dirt from the gutters and downspouts before the glass is rinsed, so you do not pay for a second crew. Call (866) 435-6328 or send the photo by text and ask for a written estimate before we book a date.

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 Holtsville customers book both twice a year. Across New York the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit usually lands in November to early December, after the leaves drop. That is why one crew doing window and gutter work in one visit makes sense on a twice-yearly calendar.
In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing picture windows and pollen paste packed into the gutters, and the downspout elbows are the first place it backs up. In the fall the leaf load is what we clear, and on the houses that skipped that visit we see runs that sagged under the weight by the next winter. The cleaning solutions on the truck are matched to the glass, and interior and exterior work are different jobs, so this visit covers the exterior. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we confirm the slot when you book.
Some houses need a third visit, and so do some residential and commercial buildings. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later, and a house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime on the glass. Those are the cases where regular cleanings every few months beat waiting for the next season.
You can tell the windows need attention when you see a haze only in low sun. You can tell the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in the rain. Either sign means it is time to book a visit.
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 crew works across Holtsville and the surrounding area, and we book window cleaning services and gutter cleaning on the same calendar. Every visit is professional window cleaning from a crew that does both jobs. To schedule service, start by phoning (866) 435-6328 or texting a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we give you a time window. Lead time depends on the season, and in the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills, so the sooner you call the better your chance at the slot you want.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew checks in again when they are on the way. Our window cleaners work from the ground and with a boom or scissor lift on multi-story buildings and larger houses, and every window on the outside gets the same care as on a small house. The windows inside stay as they are, since this visit is exterior only.
We also look for problems that are not part of the job. If we see clogged gutters that are holding water against the fascia, or signs of water damage at the eave, we photograph it and tell you what we found. That is a note for your records, not a sales pitch. Clean glass and straight gutters both help curb appeal, and we point out the rest so you can decide.
Yes. Our crew does both, and they come out in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing both together keeps the work in one place and avoids a second trip to the house.
We do not give a figure on a page. The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or by text once we have those details.
On our Holtsville jobs the outside carries the tree dust film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so a residential window looks hazy even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside is what changes how the window looks from the street.
Most of our Holtsville customers book in the spring and again in the fall. Those are the two windows when the tree dust and the leaves are heaviest, so that is when our calendar fills.
It will if the glass is washed first. We clean the gutters, flush every downspout, and give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before we touch the windows, so the runoff does not land on clean panes.
On residential properties, screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are done as part of the visit. We do not bill them as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Our crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
