The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of the homes we service book this in spring and fall, which is why we built the visit around those two windows.
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. Booking gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs, the quote moves for reasons the crew sees on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes how we reach the gutters. Multi-story buildings add time to the ladder work, so the stories count first. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer than a light run, and clogged gutters that have been overflowing can leave water damage on the fascia that we photograph before we leave. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can clear the trough. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers does not come off with cleaning. Professional window cleaning is quoted the same way, by stories and window count, and windows inside the house are not part of the figure. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the visit and do not change the number.
Across New York, the quickest route to a firm number is to tell us the stories, the rough window count, and send a photo of the front of the house by text. Most of the time that is enough to give a number without a visit. Some of our customers have a window washing history that shows tree cover or a busy road, and those notes change the schedule more than the price. On the phone we say the same number we will charge, so there is nothing to negotiate at the door.

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 people book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and one crew on one visit makes that calendar simple to keep. Spring is when the pollen film settles on every window facing the sun, and a sticky residue builds in the gutters. Fall is the leaf load, which packs the downspouts and sits wet against the fascia until the first freeze. Most customers settle into regular cleanings on that schedule, so schedule service early for the spring slot.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road usually means a third visit. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and they need a separate treatment, so we flag them on the first visit. A residential window with sprinkler spots gets its treatment quoted once the crew has seen it. Clogged gutters send runoff down the wall in the next rain, which is one more reason the gutters go first. Nor'easters across New York can move the dates, and we call ahead when they do.
You will know windows need cleaning when a haze shows up only when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running through the downspout. Grime on the lower panes is usually splash from the ground, and clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal.
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 clean exterior windows and gutters on residential properties across the area, and the crew follows the same method on every house. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Our window cleaning services and gutter washing services run on that one estimate. We confirm the slot at (866) 435-6328 and call before we arrive, because the crew does not come inside and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The same estimate process covers residential and commercial buildings.
The busy windows are spring and fall, when leaf load and tree dust both peak and our calendar fills. Book early in those months. Our lead time is shown on your confirmation. Cleaning services book up fastest in those months, and condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count.
We do not repair or install gutters, and we do not sell guards. What we find on the roof gets photographed and reported. Professional window cleaning here means a water-fed pole and purified water, so the glass dries without streaks, and the pole helps remove dirt from the upper panes without a ladder on the siding. Gutters and downspouts are cleared, flushed and flow-tested before we leave.
Yes. The same two people do both in one visit. Gutters come first and the glass after, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run back onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Tell us by phone or text and we give you the figure before we book.
On the outside, pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect fastest, and those are the things the inside cleaning never reaches. Outside cleaning also keeps picture windows readable in low sun.
Across New York, spring visits run late May to June, and the fall visit falls in late October to November. Those are the windows when most of our calendar fills, so book early.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, then give the wall a few minutes to drain before we start on the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside. Stubborn spots that purified water does not lift need cleaning solutions, and those are quoted after the crew sees the glass.
Exterior only on this visit: windows inside are not part of it, and interior and exterior work is quoted separately. We do not pressure wash siding or decks.
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 ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, or text a photo of the roofline for a written estimate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
