Yes, the same two people clean the 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 booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Our crew does this work in spring and fall, and the number we quote on the phone is the number we 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.
The price depends on how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows there are. Give us those two things by phone or text, and we quote the bundle in one visit, which costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately. The number we quote 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. Oversized panes and a large window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our Kingston jobs show the same pattern. A customer's quote moved because of stories, window count and how long the gutters had gone untouched, not because of anything we added on the day. To get your exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the stories and a rough window count, and we will come back with a figure before we book. We also clean the window and gutter work for residential and commercial buildings, and the same method covers pollen film on the glass and the paste in the downspouts. Our crew uses cleaning solutions sized for exterior glass, and the rate for cleanings is set by the number above. We do interior and exterior glass only on the outside visit; the inside is not part of this booking. Crews handle picture windows from the pole, and the regular cleanings interval is set by the season section below. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
| 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 Kingston jobs most customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Most of our cleaning services customers here fall into that pattern, and the second visit is usually the one that keeps the spring film from setting into the glass.
At the spring visit we find the film on the south-facing windows and the sticky paste packed into the gutters and elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs, along with the grit that comes down with it. Storms and wind seasons move the exact dates, so we book by what the house needs rather than by a fixed day. Our window cleaners crew checks each side of the house before the glass is touched.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and those customers are on a three to four month cycle. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, which is why we schedule a second pass on those. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more film, and it needs the extra visit too. This is what we call professional window cleaning on a regular schedule: the frequency follows the lot, not the calendar. Good curb appeal depends on that schedule holding, and so does keeping the gutters from clogged gutters that back up water onto the siding.
Windows can be cleaned on the outside in the same visit, and the windows inside are a separate job we do not take on this visit. On taller and multi-story buildings, the crew uses a boom or scissor lift for the upper runs. Left alone, a blocked gutter is the most common route to water damage at the fascia.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up with the sun low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 cleans window and gutter cleaning jobs across Kingston, both the homes and the buildings that have a residential window front to clean. We work on residential properties as a regular part of the schedule, and the same crew handles the glass and the gutters so the work is done in a single pass. If you want to schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your stories and a rough window count. We answer by phone or text, and we will give you a date.
The estimate comes first. We ask how many stories the house has and look at a photo of the front, then we book a window. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is, and the two busy windows are the late spring months and the fall leaf months, when our calendar fills fastest. Book early in those stretches. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we want clean windows on every visit, so we check every window on the outside as we go and wipe each sill before we leave.
We call before we arrive. That is the whole arrangement for scheduling, and the rest is set by the estimate.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Booking both together is how we run the job, so you get one crew and one invoice. Our washing services cover both.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. Send a photo of the front of the house with those two details and we will quote the bundle.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the spring film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. What we see on Kingston glass is film on the south-facing panes in spring and grime from the leaf months in fall. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what your glass looks like.
Our Kingston customers book in late spring and in fall. Late May or June covers the pollen, and late September to October covers the leaves. Those are the stretches when our calendar fills, so book early.
Not with our order of work. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, then give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. Gutters first, glass last keeps the runoff off the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the outside visit. Tracks are not part of this visit, so ask us about them when you book. Nothing else is billed as an extra on the day.
We clean the outside of the windows only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing as part of this booking.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
