Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the 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 jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of the homes we clean book the work in spring and fall, and that is the rhythm we plan our crews around. Tell us the stories and a rough window count, and you will have a number that matches 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.
We give one number, set by stories and approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. A residential window and gutter job is priced by stories and count, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house by text with your story count and a rough window count, and we can tell you where the quote lands before the crew is scheduled.
Several things move the quote, and they are the things the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings add time for the same reason. Window count and oversized picture windows add time, since the big panes need more passes. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a different job, because a standard cleaning will remove dirt but not the etched spots, and we tell you about it before we touch it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
Here is how it works for a typical house. When we walk the lot, we check every window and look at how many regular cleanings your windows and gutters need in a year, and we explain why the window washing services and the gutter work belong on one visit instead of two. Some houses need the interior and exterior handled separately, but on this visit we only do the outside, so the price reflects the outside alone. Tell us what you are looking at and we will set a date.
| 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 Lysander customers book both jobs twice a year, once in late spring and once in late fall, which is why one crew doing the window and gutter work in one visit makes sense. Across New York, the spring and fall pattern holds, and the dates move with the weather.
In spring we find pollen on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. The cleaning solutions we use cut through it, but the glass needs the work done before the film sets. In fall the story is the leaf load, and wet leaves and seed casings choke the downspouts, so clogged gutters show up faster than most homeowners expect. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we plan around the forecast and call before we come.
Some properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or construction picks up a steady layer of dust. Houses like these are on a shorter cycle, and we say so after the first visit. Water damage from a gutter that runs over the edge is a sign it needs attention sooner than the calendar says.
You will know the windows need cleaning when you see a haze only in low sun, and you will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain. Either sign means it is time to call.
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 homes across Lysander, from older houses with deep eaves to newer ones with wide gutters, and the crew knows how the roofs and glass differ from street to street. Booking starts with a phone call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with your story count and a photo of the house front. We give you the estimate on the spot and hold a date once you say yes.
The busy windows are the spring and fall leaf seasons, and our calendar fills fastest in those weeks. Book early in those months and you get your choice of day. Outside those windows, we can usually fit you in sooner, and we tell you the lead time when you call so you are not guessing. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
We are a crew that wants to be the right choice for your house, not the loudest one in town. Our window cleaners work the exterior glass and gutters with the same care, and our window cleaning services cover both in one visit, so the professional window cleaning on your home is done by people who know the job. Keeping the curb appeal of a house is simple when someone shows up on schedule, so we make it easy to schedule service, and we show up when we say we will.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, starting with the gutters and finishing with the glass. That order keeps gutter runoff off clean glass.
The number comes from your stories and approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Residential properties are quoted this way, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
On our Lysander jobs, the outside carries tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, so the outside gets dirty faster than the inside. Cleaning the exterior alone makes a visible difference, and it can remove dirt the rain leaves on the glass.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall, after the leaf drop. Across New York, spring and fall are the windows most homes use, and booking early in those months gives you more choice of day.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Clearing a run sends leaves, grit and black water down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters and downspouts are done. If your building is one of the condos with shared gutters, check with the association first.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior job. We do not bill them as extras, and we tell you about any damage we find.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. Interior glass and pressure washing are not part of this job, and this page covers houses only, so ask for a separate estimate for a residential and commercial building before you book.
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 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.
