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 in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Our crew has booked this job for homeowners across New York every spring and fall, so you can text a photo of the front of the house and get the number you will be charged.
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.
The price follows the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What we find on the day drives the number more than anything else: a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, picture windows and high upper-story glass, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Each one changes the time on the roof and on the glass, which is why we ask about them before we quote.
Our Manorville customers get the exact figure with a short text: the number of stories, a rough window count, and one photo of the front of the house. Residential properties are priced the same way, and we do not count every window from the ground; we estimate the count from the front of the house. For this kind of exterior work the window washing and the washing services are the same crew on the same visit, and the window cleaning services we book here follow that one quote. Runoff from a clogged gutter is the reason most of these visits start with the roof, and the glass goes last so the wet grime does not land on it. We often find that grime sits thickest where the downspouts drain, so we remove dirt there first. Some of the condos we service have split gutters and downspouts across several roof lines, and those take a separate count before we quote them.
| 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 Manorville customers book both twice a year, in late May or June and again in late October or November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In the spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the elbows of the downspouts, and by fall the leaf load is the main thing in the gutters. We move pollen with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, because soap left on the glass draws dust back to it. Storm and wind seasons across New York can move those dates by a week or two.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loading between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a fine film that the rain does not fully wash off. The window and gutter cleaning on those houses is booked on three or four visits instead of two, and we tell you which schedule fits after the first look.
You will know the windows need attention when a haze shows only in low sun, and you will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a hard rain instead of running down the downspout. Our crew will tell you which of those signs we see on your house at the first visit, and the regular cleanings are scheduled from there. Keeping the gutters clear and the glass clear is what most owners mean by curb appeal, and that is the part of the job you see from the street.
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 Manorville, and we book it as a city job rather than a neighborhood-by-neighborhood route. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front; the number of stories and that photo are enough to set the time on the roof and the glass. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew calls before we come.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, so the earlier you ask the better your slot. Multi-story buildings need the boom or scissor lift set up before the first run is cleared, so they take extra time on the booking. Our cleaning services for gutters and glass are the main work of the crew, and the window cleaners on the job are the same two people who hang the boom or scissor lift and flush each downspout. We quote residential and commercial exteriors by the same method, and we follow professional window cleaning practice on every house: purified water on the glass, the roof cleared first, and a photo of every run before we leave. A gutter that has been left to fill can show clogged gutters and the water damage that follows, so we flag any sag or pulled hanger in the report.
Yes. The same two people do both on the same visit, and the gutters are done first so that nothing from the roof lands on the glass we have just finished.
We do not give a figure in writing. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you get it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with a photo of the front of the house.
On a residential window the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are what fog the glass from the outside. Washing the windows inside leaves the film on the outside untouched.
Most of our customers here book late May or June and again in late October or November, after the seed drop and after the leaves have fallen.
No. We clean gutters first and glass last, so the leaves, grit and black water from a gutter run do not land on the clean windows below it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the same visit when they are reachable from the outside.
We clean the outside of every window on this visit, and this booking does not cover the interior and exterior of the same pane. We do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. Text a photo of the roofline if you want a firm number first.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
