Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again on the way out. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across New York, most of the homes we clean are booked in spring and fall, which is when pollen, leaves and runoff build up fastest.
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 stories and approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs apart. 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 moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings take more time again. Picture windows, oversized panes and a high window count add time on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and clogged gutters that overflow can lead to water damage at the fascia. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and will not come off with a standard cleaning, so we flag it before we quote the rest. Window washing on our jobs is done with a water-fed pole and purified water, which is why the glass dries clean without towel marks. Window cleaners who only do the glass leave gutter runoff to wash down fresh panes, which is why we do the gutters first. Windows inside the house are not part of the number.
Getting the exact number is simple. Text us a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows face the street, back and sides. We will come back with one figure for the whole visit. Plenty of homeowners call for curb appeal alone, and a professional window cleaning visit is quoted the same way, so we measure before we give a number. The cleaning solutions we use are purified water only, so there is nothing to rinse off the frame. The gutters that hold a full season of debris are the ones that take the longest, so we ask about them before we quote the glass.
| 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.
Across New York, spring visits run late May to June, and fall visits in Mineola run November to early December, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for cleaning services in Mineola. Spring cleaning follows the pollen season, when a yellow film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows. The fall visit comes after the leaves drop, when the wet leaf mat is the main problem and runs that were not cleared can sag under ice later in the winter.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps feeding needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction also collects grime faster than the average. Regular cleanings keep the glass looking right, and a residential window that faces a sprinkler head is the one most likely to need a third visit. We see these properties on a three- or four-visit schedule, and we tell you after the first visit which pattern your lot fits.
Clean windows should look clear from the sidewalk, and a haze that only shows when the sun is low means it is time to schedule service. A haze that shows on every window at once points to the whole house, not one pane, and grit that settles on the sill is usually where it starts. Gutters tell you too, when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running into the downspout. Water damage on the fascia or a stain running down the siding under a run is the sign to schedule service sooner, not later. If you see either one, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a date that fits the season.
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 the residential properties across Mineola and the surrounding area, and we are glad to quote any house on the list we serve. Our window cleaning services and washing services are booked as one visit, so the gutters and the glass get done in the same trip. Booking for cleaning services starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a number and an approximate date. Lead times move with the season, so the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. If you can book early in either window, you will have more choice of day.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know when the ladders are going up. Our crew handles the gutters and downspouts first, then the glass, so the runoff from one job does not undo the other. The crew uses purified water to remove dirt from the glass, and every window we can reach safely from the ground or a pole gets done. A pane that cannot be reached safely is photographed and noted in your report rather than guessed at. If your home is one of several condos sharing a gutter run, tell us when you book, because the shared run changes the scope.
Yes. The same crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text a photo of the front and we will give you one figure by phone or text. This page is about houses, so for a residential and commercial job, call (866) 435-6328 and describe the building first.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so picture windows and the rest of the glass look different within a few weeks even when the interior is clean.
Spring visits run late May to June across New York, and fall visits here run November to early December. Regular cleanings in both seasons catch the pollen and leaves before they build up.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff from the roof and gutters is gone before the glass is touched. The cleaning solutions we use are purified water, so nothing is left behind to streak.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and the tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, with no separate line on the invoice.
Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the exterior of the windows only. We do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
