The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty from the roofline 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 the homes we service book in spring and fall, and that calendar is what we plan around. Call (866) 435-6328 or tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will give you the number we will charge.
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 cleaning services and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. Window washing and washing services follow the same math, so the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Nothing gets added after the crew is on the ladder.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the quote, and the condition of the gutters and downspouts is the biggest part of it. A third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it changes the setup. The count matters, since every window adds passes, and so do oversized panes that need a larger pole and more time per pane. Gutters packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear and haul, and runoff from a blocked run is the reason we clear it before the glass. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Heavy grime on the glass adds passes, and the crew can remove dirt from the frames and sills in the same visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is an example from our Jefferson Valley-Yorktown work. A two-story house with a heavy leaf load over the back run needed the gutters cleared to the elbow and every downspout flushed before the glass was even touched, which is what set the time for that visit. Our crew sees the same thing on most jobs in this town, and that is why we ask for stories, window count and a photo of the front of the house before we commit to a number. Condos and other residential properties follow the same logic, so text the photo to us and we can tell you what to expect before anyone climbs a ladder.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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 of our customers book window and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and the calendar is the same for residential and commercial buildings because the pollen and leaves follow the seasons. In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters, and picture windows show the film most. Our crew sees both on almost every house, and a residential window facing south picks up the film first. In fall, the leaf load arrives and the wet mat sits in the runs until it is cleared. Storms and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we keep the calendar flexible.
Some houses need more than the twice-a-year rhythm, and regular cleanings are how we keep up with them. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters filling between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the rest. On our jobs, the fastest way to tell is what happens after the first visit, which is why we look at the windows and the runs with you before we set the schedule.
There are two signs that tell you it is time. Windows show a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters show water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Cleaning solutions alone do not fix either one once they have built up, so a cleaning visit is the right step. Care for the interior and exterior glass follows the same two-season rhythm, though our visit covers only the outside. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which pattern you are seeing.
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 gutter and window cleaning services across Jefferson Valley-Yorktown and across New York, and we keep the calendar honest about the two busy windows of the year. In practice, clean windows and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and most spring and fall weeks fill, so the earlier you contact us the more choice you have. To schedule service, start with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text estimate: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We will confirm the time window the day before and call again when the crew is on the way.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so nothing about the job requires you to be present. Our crew runs professional window cleaning and gutter work from the outside, and that is the scope of this visit. Most window cleaners who do only the glass leave clogged gutters above a clean pane, which is why we do both in one visit. We also do not leave multi-story buildings half done, because a run left full is where water damage starts.
Yes, we are the same two-person crew for both, and we do the gutters first and the glass last on every visit. It is one of the frequently asked questions we hear on window and gutter cleaning, and the answer is the reason we book them together.
We give the number by phone or text from the stories and the approximate window count, and that is the number we charge on residential properties.
Yes, because a residential window takes the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots on the outside, and the inside does not carry those. Clean windows on the outside are what the street sees.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house, and we will tell you the exact window once we see it.
No, that is the reason we do gutters first and glass last, so the runoff is cleared before anyone touches every window on that side.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included in the visit.
No, this visit is exterior only, so we do not clean inside the glass or pressure wash.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
