Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across New York, most of the homes we clean go on the schedule in spring and fall, when leaves and grit build up fastest.
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 our washing services by the number of stories and the approximate window count. The bundle in one visit costs less than booking window washing and gutter cleaning separately, and that one quote covers the window cleaning services and the gutters together. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, oversized picture windows, clogged gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Grime that has baked onto a sill costs more time than a light film. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras, and we say so before the crew gets up there.
Across New York, the number comes from the stories and roughly how many windows face the street. Send a photo of the front of the house by text, tell us the stories and the window count, and we will give you a written estimate before we book a date. A residential window on the street side counts toward the number like any other. Every quote comes from those details, so a house with the same stories and window count gets the same number whether it sits on a lot with heavy shade or out in the open. Regular cleanings are quoted per visit, and interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, with this estimate covering the exterior only.
| 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 Loudonville customers book regular cleanings for window and gutter work twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen drops and once in the fall after the leaves come down, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on a fixed calendar.
Spring is when we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky layer packed into the gutters. Fall is the leaf load, and on a house that skipped that visit we see runs that have sagged under the weight of wet leaves by the time winter sets in. Storm and wind season moves the dates by a week or two, and we would rather come a little early than let a run back up and cause water damage.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts between visits, so those customers are on a three or four month cycle. Clogged gutters on a shaded house fill faster than the calendar suggests. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, which is a sign to schedule more often or to have the mineral spotting treated. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets a film that cleaning alone does not hold back for long. Multi-story buildings in the area follow the same sequence, with the crew working from a lift where a ladder cannot reach. Residential and commercial properties both get the cleaning solutions rinsed off before the crew leaves.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low, or grime along the bottom of the sash. You will know gutters need cleaning when the runoff sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters also do more for curb appeal than most people expect. An exterior visit leaves the windows inside as they are, so a haze on the inside glass needs a separate call. If either one shows up between visits, text us a photo and we will tell you what it is.
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 gutters and windows on residential properties across the Loudonville area. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a rough count of stories and a photo of the house front. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you always know when the crew is on the way.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring window and the fall leaf season, and those are when our calendar fills first. Book a few weeks ahead of those windows and you get the date you want. Outside them, a slot usually opens faster, and we will tell you the lead time when you call so you are not waiting on a guess.
Our window cleaning services cover every window on the outside of the house, and the crew works the same way on a small ranch as it does on a multi-story colonial. Professional window cleaning means the glass, frames and each sill, with the cleaning solutions rinsed off before we leave. We are window cleaners who also take care of the gutters and downspouts on the same visit. Wiping the sill on every window is part of what keeps curb appeal right on a residential property.
Yes. Window and gutter cleaning is one visit with one crew, so the gutters and downspouts get done first and the glass last. The runoff from the gutters never lands on clean windows.
We give no figure here because the number comes from stories and window count. If the home is one of several condos sharing a roof, tell us whether the gutters belong to your unit or the association, since that changes the quote. Text a photo of the front of the house or call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you a written estimate.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up on a residential window between visits. Clean inside glass can still look hazy from the outside, and the crew has to remove dirt from that outer surface to fix it.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, which are the two busiest windows of the year. Booking a few weeks ahead keeps the date you want. The other frequently asked questions below cover what to do before the crew comes.
No. On residential properties we clean the gutters first and the glass last, because cleaning the windows first means someone has to rinse them again once the gutters are clear.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the window cleaning, and we rinse and wipe them as we go rather than billing them separately.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and interior and exterior work is quoted separately. We do not do pressure washing on the same visit. If a property is part residential and commercial, call (866) 435-6328 before you book so we can tell you what we take.
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.
