Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff off the panes we have just finished. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and we have been doing that work long enough to know which houses need it sooner.
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.
Window washing and gutter cleaning are priced together by the number of stories and an approximate count of every window on the outside of the house, and a professional window cleaning visit that includes the gutters costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will send a written estimate before anyone books a date.
On our jobs, the same things move the quote over and over. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Picture windows, oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years are packed with grit, and they take more passes than a run that was cleared last season. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers will not come off with cleaning; it needs a separate treatment, which we quote after we see it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
For the outside of the windows, what we find on the glass often shows up as a haze on the sun side of the house, and in Lynbrook that haze is usually pollen and rain dust working together, which is why the outside of the glass ends up dirtier than the inside. Clogged gutters on the same house carry that grime down the wall, and that is one reason we clean both on the same day. On multi-story buildings the first floor and the top floor need the same care, and a single run of water damage at a window sill is usually the first sign that a gutter has been overflowing for a season. Ask for the number by text with the stories and window count, and we will tell you what we see before we come.

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 Lynbrook jobs, most customers book both services twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across New York the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit runs November to early December, ahead of the first hard freeze. On the glass in spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing windows and a paste of spring growth packed in the gutters, and in fall the wet leaf mat is the first thing to clear.
Some houses need more cleanings than the two regular cleanings in the usual schedule. Heavy tree cover over the roof means the downspouts pack between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that return a day after cleaning. A house on a busy road or near a construction site collects more grit on the outside of the glass, and those are the residential window jobs we see more often than the rest, mostly on residential properties near the road. Ask us to schedule service for the extra visit, and we fit it in when the calendar allows, so you are not waiting on the season to change.
Two signs tell you it is time. Windows show a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters let water sheet over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout. If either one shows up between visits, text us a photo and we will tell you what it is. Our crew can also remove dirt from the frames on that same visit, which keeps the clean windows clean for longer.
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 has cleaned houses across Lynbrook and the surrounding area. Our window cleaning services and washing services follow the same steps whether it is a single-family home or a building with a larger glass count. 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. From there we give you a date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring growth and the leaf fall, when the work is heaviest. Booking early in those stretches keeps your preferred slot, and the lead time is set by the current schedule. Our crew does the gutters first and the glass last on every visit, and the same people handle both so there is one point of contact from the estimate to the finished run. We handle residential and commercial jobs alike, so the gutters and downspouts of commercial buildings and condos get the same written estimate as a single-family house. Nothing gets handed off to a second crew, and the photos come to you before the truck leaves.
Yes. Our cleaning services for the gutters and the exterior windows are done by the same two people in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That is the order that keeps runoff off the glass we have just cleaned.
We price it by stories and an approximate window count, and picture windows add time at the glass, which the number you get by phone already reflects. Call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and window count, and you will get the figure in writing before we book.
On our Lynbrook jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior, so windows inside usually stay clean for longer. Cleaning the outside is what gives the house its curb appeal from the street.
Across New York the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit runs November to early December. Most of our Lynbrook customers book both.
Not if we do it in the right order. We clear the gutters, flush every downspout and give the wall a few minutes to drain before anyone touches the glass, so the runoff has nowhere to land on finished panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the same visit. None of those show up as separate line items on the invoice. We use purified water on the glass, so no cleaning solutions are left behind to streak.
Not on this visit. We do exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on the same trip, so interior and exterior glass are never mixed into one job. If you need the inside of the glass done, tell us when you call and we will schedule it separately.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
