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 both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most homeowners book us in the spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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.
Our window washing is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs the number moves for a handful of reasons. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder, and oversized panes take more care than standard ones. A run of gutters and downspouts that has not been cleared in years, or is packed with needles and leaves, takes longer to get flowing again. Old grime that has baked onto the glass over a season takes longer than a light film. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are part of the count, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate note, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across New York, the clearest way to get the exact number is to tell us the stories, the window count and send a photo of the front of the house by text. The crew counts every window on the house before the number is set. Dust film on south-facing glass and runoff stains from the gutters come up often, and we flag them on the estimate so you know before the crew arrives. Porch roofs and bay windows get counted as their own line, not folded into the front elevation. Multi-story buildings with several roof levels are quoted by section, so nothing gets a surprise on the invoice. If the house has a lot of picture windows, the crew will tell you how many panes that adds up to before anyone is on a ladder. Owners of condos with a shared gutter run get a note on the estimate, so the count is settled in advance. Residential properties with a third story get the extra ladder time shown on the line, and each residential window up there is counted on its own. Runoff from clogged gutters can stain siding and sills, and that is part of why we clear the gutters first. Rain alone does not remove dirt from the frames, so the crew wipes them in the same visit. Our crew is quick to say what it saw and how it affects the number, and we do not hide the reasons behind a line item. Ask for a written estimate and we will send it the same day.

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 customers book both gutters and the outside glass twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop, and once in the fall after the leaves are down, and across New York that is the rhythm we see most. One crew in one visit makes sense for both because the same calendar drives both jobs.
In the spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and sticky paste packed into the gutters and downspout elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see gutter runs that sagged under the weight by the next winter. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little for residential and commercial glass alike, and we would rather you call us early than wait for a bad week to pass.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the gutters between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we wipe them. Hard-water spots need different cleaning solutions than dust does, and the crew tells you which one the house needs. A house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up a fine layer of dust that shows on the glass within weeks. We also book a third visit for the outside of picture windows where the sun lands on them most of the day. A house that wants interior and exterior glass done gets two separate quotes, booked on the same calendar.
Keep up with regular cleanings, and both problems get caught before they get heavy. The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, instead of running into the downspout. Either one is a reason to call, not to wait for the next scheduled 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.
We have cleaned gutters and exterior glass across the region, and we book by phone or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories, or send a photo of the house front, and we tell you the number and the earliest date we have. Our booking works in a couple of steps, and we are a professional window cleaning crew that answers the phone the same day you call. Most customers hear back within a day, and our crew calls before it arrives, so nobody is surprised by a truck in the driveway.
Spring and fall are the two busy windows, because seed and leaf drop line up with the calendar on most lots, and that is when the schedule fills. Book early in those windows if you want a set day. Between them there is usually room on the calendar, and a booking in a quiet month often gets an earlier slot. Clean windows and clear gutters also keep curb appeal up between visits.
Our window cleaning services are only as good as the crew on the ladder, so we work the same two people on the same route. Our washing services cover the gutters and the outside glass on one stop, not two. Window cleaners who visit once and leave are not what we do; we check the downspouts on every run before we pack up. That also means we catch clogged gutters before they turn into water damage on the fascia. If you are unsure whether your gutters need attention before the next scheduled visit, text the photo and we will look at it.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew stays outside, and we send photos of every run before the truck leaves. Our crew works outside only, so windows inside the house are quoted separately. Ask the crew for the date, the arrival window and the number on the invoice before anyone starts.
Yes, it is the same crew. We clean gutters and the outside of each residential window in one visit, so you do not pay for two trips. The gutters go first and the glass last.
The number comes from the stories, the approximate window count and the condition of the gutters, and we give it over the phone or by text. We count every window, including the small ones over a door. Call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the house, or send a photo of the front.
Often yes. Outside glass on our jobs carries dust film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those stay on the glass whatever the windows inside look like. The windows inside the house are a separate job, and interior and exterior glass get quoted separately, so this visit covers the exterior only.
Most of our customers across New York book in the late spring and again in late fall, and the calendar fills in those two windows. Book early if you want a set day. Keeping clean windows on a regular schedule means the haze never gets a chance to build.
No, gutters first and glass last. When we clear a run, the grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass gets done after the gutters are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Yes, screens are rinsed and sills are wiped on residential properties as part of the job, and tracks are included on the same visit. Nothing is billed as a separate extra.
No, we clean exterior glass only and do not do interior windows or pressure washing on this visit. Text a photo of the roofline if you want to know whether anything else needs attention.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
