Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We go gutters first and glass last, so the debris from the roof never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. We do this work across New York every spring and fall, and most of our Long Beach customers book both at the same time.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass, and the estimate method is the same for residential and commercial exteriors. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and the window count and we will quote it before anyone climbs a ladder. Text or call (866) 435-6328 and we will send a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs mean more time on the ladder. A window count that runs high, or oversized panes, means more time on the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear than a light run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our crews have seen the same quote shift on a few common details. A house with a large picture windows wall takes longer than a house of the same size with smaller sashes. A window and gutter bundle on a residential property with heavy leaf load often needs the gutters cleared twice before the glass is touched. If you have a question about your own house, text a photo of the front and the back, and tell us how many stories and roughly how many windows you have. We answer with a written estimate and a date we can hold.
| 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 customers here book regular cleanings of both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across New York, the spring visit lands in late May to June. On our Long Beach jobs the fall visit lands in November to early December.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste in the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen clogged gutters sag under the weight of wet leaves before winter, with the runoff spilling over the edge onto the siding. Storms and nor'easters across New York can move the dates, and we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings near a busy road or a construction site pick up a film that builds up faster than the calendar suggests. If any of those describe your house, ask us for a third visit when you book.
There are two simple signs that tell you it is time. Windows show a haze you only see when the sun is low in the sky. Gutters show water sheeting over the edge in a rain, and left alone that water can cause water damage to the fascia and the wall below. If you see either, text us a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what it is. A visit at the right time is the simplest way to remove dirt before it sets, and it keeps curb appeal where it should be.
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.
To schedule service with us, start with an estimate by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a number before we schedule anything. The estimate is the same number on the invoice, so there are no surprises at the end of the job.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the late spring window and the late fall window, when most residential properties on the South Shore want their gutters and clean windows done at the same time. If you want a particular date, book early and we hold it for you. We ask for a count of every window on the house, so the quote is not a guess. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We do not promise same-day service; the lead time depends on the season and is given when you book.
We do residential window and gutter cleaning for houses across Long Beach, and our window cleaning services also cover condos on the same schedule. We also clean the exterior glass of residential properties in the surrounding areas on the same schedule. If you have a question about whether we can reach your house, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo and we will tell you what we can do.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, and our washing services follow the same order. We go gutters first and glass last, so the debris from the roof is cleared before the windows are washed.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we quote the bundle before the crew is booked.
On our jobs the outside carries most of what dulls the glass here: pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that only show up on the outside. The grime that builds on exterior glass is mostly outdoors, and professional window cleaning on the outside is what removes it. Cleaning the inside does not remove any of that.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the pollen drop finishes, and in late fall, after the leaves come down, so the gutters and downspouts are clear before winter. Storms can move the dates, so we confirm the day when you book.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, flush every downspout, then give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before the glass is touched, so the runoff has stopped before we wash. Doing it in the other order means washing the glass twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included on the outside of the window. We do not bill them as extras.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, so we do not clean the windows inside, and the interior and exterior glass are separate jobs. We do not pressure wash the siding on this visit, and we say so up front when you book.
No, 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.
