Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of every window in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when the seed, pollen and leaf loads are at their heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and window count and we will give you the number.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-ons appearing on the invoice afterward.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs that need extra setup, the window count and any oversized panes, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. 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 an exact number is to send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house by text. Those three things let us quote the job without a site visit, and they are the details that tend to separate a quick job from one that needs a boom or scissor lift. Multi-story buildings and houses with tall gables take a different setup from a ranch, and the quote reflects that. Heavy grime on the glass, or the kind of water damage that shows up under a clogged gutter, is something the crew notes on the day rather than something we guess at over the phone. Professional window cleaning and plain window washing both come down to the glass, but the gutters above it are part of this quote, so the window cleaners on our crew check them first. Windows inside are never part of the quote because we clean the outside, and a clean front does more for curb appeal than the glass alone.

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.
Across New York, most of our customers book gutter and window cleaning services twice a year, in spring and again in fall, because one crew in one visit makes sense when both jobs run on the same calendar. Across New York, the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and our fall visit falls in October to early November. Customers often ask us to schedule service for both seasons at once.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring we see a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall the leaf load is what fills the runs and blocks the downspouts. Across New York, nor'easters and other storm seasons can move these dates, so on residential properties we set the calendar by what the house shows us rather than by a fixed month.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after the cleaning, so a residential window in that spot gets a closer look. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames and the sill. Those are the cases where the calendar stretches to three or four visits a year, and we say so on the first visit.
We check every window on the front of the house before the crew leaves, and regular cleanings catch the problem before it sets. You will know the windows need attention when clean windows stop looking clean, usually as a haze that shows only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a hard rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 washing services reach Mamakating and the surrounding area, and we ask for the stories and a photo of the house front on the first call so the crew knows what it is walking into. Booking usually starts with that estimate by phone or text, and the crew calls before it comes out so nobody is surprised at the curb.
Our window cleaning services book up in the two busy windows of the year, in spring and in fall, so booking early in those periods gets you a slot that fits. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but the crew calls ahead so you know when to expect them.
Gutters and downspouts take the most time on older houses where the runoff has built up behind the fascia, and grime on the glass is usually heaviest on the lower panes where splash and dirt collect. Our crew works carefully around those areas and will remove dirt rather than just rinse it toward the next pane. On townhouses and condos with shared runs, we coordinate the work so the whole run is cleared at once.
Yes. The same two-person crew does both, gutters first and glass last, so you do not have to book two companies or wait for two visits. Questions about residential and commercial work are welcome on the phone, but this page covers houses.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and oversized panes or picture windows move it too, so we give the number by phone or text once we have those details. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what to expect.
On our Mamakating jobs, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, so the outside is usually where the haze comes from.
Across New York, most of our customers book in spring and in fall, and the spring visit usually lands in late May to June. Our calendar is busiest in those two seasons, so calling early helps with regular cleanings.
No, that is why we clean gutters first and glass last. Cleaning the glass before the runs are cleared means it gets dirty again on the way down, and the glass is rinsed with purified water rather than cleaning solutions.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included in each of these cleanings, so there is nothing to add on the invoice for them.
Our visit covers the exterior only. Interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs, and we do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing on this visit.
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. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
