Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall windows, and the first thing we ask for is a photo of the front of your house so the quote matches what we will find on the ladder.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window cleaning services cover downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping, which are part of the job and not billed as extras, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The quote covers every window on the outside of the house, so a bundled visit gets you clean windows and clear gutters on one bill. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for a quote.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof slows the work. Picture windows and oversized panes add time, and high window counts add more. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Condos are quoted from a photo of the building, the same way we price a house. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate mineral problem that no cleaning removes, and we will say so on the visit.
On a recent Kenmore job the quote came in higher than the owner expected because the gutters had been left unopened for several seasons and the glass carried sprinkler spotting along the south wall. Once the crew saw the runoff marks and the packed downspouts, the scope was clear and the number held. A quote that starts from the stories and the window count, with a photo of the front of the house sent by text, is the fastest way to get an exact figure. The window washing and washing services we bundle with the gutter work reach grime on the frames and sills, and the gutters and downspouts carry the runoff that otherwise washes down the glass, so both get cleared together to remove dirt from the same visit.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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 Kenmore jobs most customers book two cleanings a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most homes. Across New York, spring visits land in late May to June, and the fall visit in Kenmore runs late October to November, so we keep those windows for both jobs.
In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, which turns into a wet mat that hides the first downspout restriction. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little in either direction, and we book around them rather than around the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, so those homes go on a three to four month rhythm, and regular cleanings on that schedule stop the build-up before it hardens. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses are scheduled more often too. A house near a busy road or active construction collects grime faster on the window sills. Single-family homes with few trees usually need only the fall visit once a year.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters tell you when they need it: water sheeting over the edge during rain. Either sign is a good reason to call, and we will tell you which of the two visits your lot needs after the first one.
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 Kenmore, and the residential properties we serve get an estimate from the number of stories and a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo to the same number. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, our calendar fills faster, so it is worth booking early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
This visit covers the exterior only, so we do not clean windows inside the house, and pressure washing is not part of the job. Interior and exterior glass are quoted as separate jobs. Like other window cleaners, we bring our own water and power, so nothing is needed from the house. Our crews use professional window cleaning methods, and we bring the same cleaning solutions to every house, which keeps curb appeal consistent from one visit to the next. Our cleaning services reach every window on the outside, and the gutters go first. Multi-story buildings take more setup, so we say that up front. Clogged gutters keep the water from moving and can cause water damage at the fascia, so we clear those first. Residential and commercial jobs are quoted on a separate call, and this page covers homes only.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, and they do the gutters first and the glass last.
The number comes from stories and window count, and you can get it by phone or text with a photo of the front of the house.
Yes on most Kenmore houses. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots gather on the outside of each residential window, and clean windows last longer when the gutters are cleared in the same visit.
Across New York, spring visits land in late May to June, and in Kenmore the fall visit runs late October to November, so schedule service early for both.
No, gutters first and glass last is exactly why. If the glass were washed first, the runoff would streak it again before we leave.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, and we confirm the scope when we book.
No. This visit is exterior only, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, 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.
