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 together costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Lake Grove customers book it every spring and fall, and we use those visits to keep the glass and the gutters in step with each other.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we quote on the phone or by text is the number we charge. Booking our window washing services together with gutter cleaning costs less than two separate jobs, because one crew is already on the ladder and one setup covers both.
Several things move the quote, and we see them on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not something a cleaning removes, so we flag it up front. Grime baked onto the sills takes more than a rinse, and we say so on the quote. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and the crew uses a pole to remove dirt from the upper floors without billing it as an extra.
On a recent Lake Grove job the quote moved because of the number of stories and how many windows faced the street, and the gutters had not been cleaned in a long time. We cleared the runs, flushed the downspouts and then did the glass. For a precise number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has, and we will work out the window count with you. Gutter cleaning on the back run and window washing on the upper floors often add the most time, so we ask about those first. If the building is one of several condos under one roof, tell us on the call so we count the runs correctly. Our crew handles the full job, with a single price for the day, and the cleaning solutions we use are chosen for exterior glass only. This visit is the exterior only, so we do not quote an interior and exterior package, and pressure washing is not part of it. Call (866) 435-6328 and ask for a written estimate if you want the number in writing before we arrive.
| 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.
Most of our Lake Grove customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Spring visits clear the pollen that settles on south-facing glass and packs the downspout elbows as a paste, and fall visits take up the wet leaf load that sits in the gutters once the trees are done dropping.
What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In the spring, pollen film shows on the glass and the gutters carry a sticky layer that holds water. In the fall, the leaf mat is the main problem, and houses that skipped the fall visit tend to show sagging runs by early spring. Wind and storm seasons also move the dates a little, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more dust on the frames, and picture windows show that dust more than smaller panes do. We see the pattern on our jobs and tell you at the first visit which of these your house has.
The sign that the windows need attention is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the sign that the gutters need attention is runoff sheeting over the edge in a hard rain. Regular cleanings keep both from building up, and clean windows stay clear longer between visits. We will tell you when a gutter is past the point where one visit fixes it.
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 cleaning services reach several Lake Grove neighborhoods, and our window cleaning services cover residential properties, so if you are unsure whether we cover your street, call and we will confirm it. If the building is not a single-family home, say so on the call, since we count residential and commercial buildings the same way: stories first, then every window on the front and sides. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, where you give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and the busy windows in spring and fall fill faster than the rest of the year. If your slot is in one of those windows, book early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way, and we do not come inside. Clients with multi-story buildings or large glass areas often ask us to plan the day around access, and we do that during the estimate. Our window cleaners work from a pole on most houses and a boom or scissor lift where the height calls for one. Professional window cleaning keeps the curb appeal of the house up through the season, and our window cleaning services also keep clogged gutters from turning into water damage at the eaves. To schedule service, give us a call at (866) 435-6328.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first, then do the outside of the windows, so the dirty water from the runs never lands on glass we have already done.
The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. For a residential window job, text us a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the price for your place.
Usually the outside is where the work shows. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass here, and they cloud the window even when the inside is clean.
Most of our Lake Grove customers book in spring and in fall. Those are the two windows when the pollen and the leaves settle on the house, and they fill up first on our calendar.
Not on our jobs. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so anything that comes off the roof runs down the wall before we start on the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. We check every window on the house for those, and tracks are included in the exterior clean.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing either, and interior and exterior work is not sold as one package.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
