Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Most of our work here is in the spring and fall, when debris and leaves build up fastest, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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 quote by 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.
Five things move the quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more care on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add time on the glass. Gutters nobody has opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run underneath. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it and quote a separate treatment.
Here is how to get an exact number. Tell us the stories and the window count, and text a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to give you a firm estimate before the crew is booked. If there is a long run of gutter behind a tree or a sunroom roof under a window, mention it, and we will note it in the estimate rather than surprise you on the day.
The window washing and the gutter work go on one invoice, so you can see both lines in one place. Our professional window cleaning crew handles the exterior glass with purified water, which dries clean without towel marks, and our gutter work covers the whole run from the roof edge to the downspout outlet. Our quote covers the outside only, so windows inside are not part of the bill. If you are paying for curb appeal, the full bundle is the way to get it, because clean gutters without clean glass look half finished.
Water sits against the fascia whenever clogged gutters back up, and that is how water damage starts. Clearing them on the same visit as the windows is the cheapest way we know to stop that, and it saves a second trip. Our crew checks each run after it is flushed, and any downspout that does not drain is noted with a photo in the report.

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.
On our Merrick jobs most of our customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall. Both count as cleaning services, and one crew handles them in a single visit, which makes sense for residential properties. Across New York, spring visits usually fall in late May to June, and that visit clears the pollen and seed that build up in the downspouts and film the south-facing glass. The fall visit, usually November to early December, clears the wet leaf mat before the weather turns, so the runs do not sag under ice.
Between those visits the sticky paste in the gutters and the film on the glass are the first things we see when we arrive, and the leaf load is what decides whether a run needs cleaning at all. Most of the time, clean windows stay clean longer when the gutters above them are clear. We check every window on each visit, and a residential window under a run that overflows gets the same look as the rest. Nor'easter season across New York can move the dates, so we watch the calendar with you and suggest a visit when conditions call for one.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts faster than two visits a year can keep up with, so those houses get regular cleanings in between. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a third visit is the only way to keep them in check. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust on the glass that twice a year does not fully clear.
The sign windows need a visit is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign gutters need a visit is water sheeting over the edge in the rain. If you see either, schedule service and we will look at it.
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 run window cleaning services and gutter work across Merrick, and we book by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date and a window for the visit. Our lead time is shown on the booking page, and we do not promise a slot sooner than that.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop. In those weeks our calendar fills, so the sooner you ask for a date, the sooner we can put you on it. Outside those windows there is usually more room, and the crew can fit a single house in a short slot.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and our crew works from the outside of the house without going inside. We serve residential and commercial properties alike. Condos and multi-story buildings are on our schedule when the work is per building, and we quote those by the building rather than by the window. Our washing services take the grime off the glass, and our cleaning services cover gutters and downspouts from the roof edge down. We remove dirt and runoff from the walls below the run so nothing dirty is left behind.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so that water and grit from the roof do not run back onto panes we have just cleaned.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count of your house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number we will charge before the crew is booked.
On the houses we clean here, the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and that is where most of the haze comes from. Our cleaning solutions are chosen for glass and rinse off with purified water, so picture windows dry without streaks. Whatever you do inside, keep the interior and exterior glass on one schedule so the haze does not build up unseen.
Most of our Merrick customers book in late spring, after the spring bloom, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Customers who want regular cleanings usually keep to that pair of visits. Those are the two windows when our calendar fills, so ask early.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water under them come down the wall, so the glass is only touched once the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the visit when they are reachable from the outside.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not 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 the windows face it, 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.
