The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, and we always do the gutters first and the glass last. For a residential window job we price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New York, our crews book this bundle most often in spring and fall, when the tree dust and the leaves are on the house.
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, 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, so the quote you hear is the one on your invoice.
What moves the quote on most residential properties is what the crew finds on the day. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs both mean more time on the ladder. A large number of window panes, including oversized picture windows, adds to the count. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Grime on the sills and frames adds wiping time. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that regular cleanings will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our quote covers exterior glass only, so an interior and exterior package from another company will price differently.
Our crew has cleaned a number of homes like yours in this town. Ask us for the quote the same way every time: send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what moves it. Most of the time our window washing services and the gutter work come out to a single figure we can explain line by line, with no surprises when the truck pulls in.
If you want an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has. We will come back with one figure and what it covers, and the crew will confirm the window count when they arrive.

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 window and gutter cleaning is booked twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs.
In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. In fall, the leaf load arrives and the wet mat leaves clogged gutters before the first freeze, and standing water in them is how water damage starts at the fascia. Storm and nor'easter seasons can move those dates, and the crew adjusts the booking when they do.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof sends needles and grit into the gutters and downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film that a twice-yearly visit does not keep up with.
You will see the sign that windows need attention when there is a haze you only notice with the sun low. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so if that haze is on the inside glass, it needs a separate job. The sign that gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in the rain. Both show up before the scheduled visit if the house is under heavy cover, and that is when we suggest the extra booking.
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 crews work across the town, and when you call (866) 435-6328 for a window cleaning or a gutter estimate, we will tell you the next open slot. Booking is simple: send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will return a quote and a date. The schedule fills in the two busy windows of the year, so the earlier you book in spring and fall, the more choice you have on the calendar.
Our professional window cleaning crews run water-fed poles with purified water on the upper floors, so we reach every window from the ground without a ladder against the siding. We use no cleaning solutions on the glass, and the purified water is what lets us remove dirt without leaving streaks. Our window cleaning services cover the upper floors too. For cleaning services that include gutters, the same crew handles both, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
The companies that handle window cleaners work on a fixed schedule, and ours is no different: we keep the calendar honest and keep the curb appeal of your house in view as the work goes on. If the first slot does not suit, tell us which day works and we will schedule service around it.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the water running off the roof does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and the same method applies to residential and commercial properties. Text us a photo of the front and tell us the number of stories, and we will quote the job by phone or text before anyone books.
On our jobs in this town, the outside of each residential window carries the tree dust film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dull even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside keeps the view and the frames clear.
Our customers here book in spring and in fall. Window and gutter cleaning in spring clears the pollen film and the grit that built up over winter, and the fall visit clears the leaves before the freeze.
No, because we clean gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters hits it again, which is the reason the order matters.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside. If your unit is in one of the condos on a shared gutter line, tell us the building's stories and how many units share the line, and we will quote from that.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, so we do not wash windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway and keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
