Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing runs down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this job in the spring and in the fall.
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.
Our quote comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two sets of cleanings separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
Several things move the quote on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more ladder and lift time. A large count of window panes, or oversized picture windows, takes longer to reach and rinse. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more hand clearing before the water can run. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned underneath. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that no cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts are cleared on every visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping, along with the cleaning solutions we use, are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across New York we have seen the same pattern: the houses that cost more are the ones with more stories, more glass and gutters that have gone too long without service. To get your exact number, tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows the house has, or text us a photo of the front of the house. We will come back with a figure you can plan around, and that figure is the one on the invoice. We quote residential and commercial jobs the same way.
| 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 most of our customers book both jobs twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them.
In the spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In the fall the leaf load is the main job. Storm and wind seasons can shift those dates, so we book from what the house needs rather than a fixed date on the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts grit and needles in the downspouts faster than twice a year can keep up with. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime that settles on the frames within weeks. For these houses, cleaning services three or four times a year keep the gutters flowing and the glass clean, and regular cleanings are the only schedule that keeps up with the load.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Keeping both in order with professional window cleaning protects your curb appeal and keeps water damage away from the wall below the eaves.
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 book window and gutter cleaning by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you an estimate and a date. We call before we come, so you are never surprised by a truck at the curb.
When a job is booked, the crew comes to the property and does the exterior work on the schedule set on the phone. Nobody needs to be home for the outside work, and the crew does not come inside. Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring and the fall, so booking early in those months gives you more choice of date. Booking early also helps you get clean windows on the date you want.
We clean residential and commercial properties for homeowners and building owners, and we can schedule service for any house with a clear view of the roofline and the glass. We clean every window that can be reached safely from the ground or from a boom or scissor lift, including on multi-story buildings, and each residential window gets purified water to remove dirt from the pane. We flag any sill or frame we cannot reach so you know what was left.
Yes. Our window washing services and the gutter work are done by the same two people in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean panes.
Our window cleaning services are quoted from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the exact figure before the crew is booked.
Yes, because the outside takes the damage here first. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior, and they dull the glass long before anything shows on the inside. This holds for houses and condos alike.
Across New York most of our customers book in the spring and in the fall. We book from the house, so the date we give you depends on what the gutters and glass need.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and wash the glass last, because if the glass is washed first, someone has to wash it again once the roof runoff has come down the wall.
Screens are rinsed to remove grime, and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included when they can be reached from outside, and we tell you about any we cannot reach.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside the house, and interior and exterior glass are quoted as two separate jobs. 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, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Text us a photo of the roofline if you want us to check the gutters first.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
