The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and two jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across New York, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and the number we give 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 price our window washing services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the washing services and the gutter work separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. The gutters and downspouts are cleared as one job, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the price, not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Oversized panes and high window counts add time. Gwork on condos with a shared run takes longer, because the whole run has to be checked. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more hours to clear. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a mineral treatment that cleaning alone will not remove, so we flag it before we quote it. Runoff from a clogged run can also reach the glass and leave a mark, which is another reason we clear the gutters first.
What we have seen on our jobs is that the quote is set by what is on the house, not by a flat guess. Across New York, the houses that cost more to clean are the ones with the most glass at height and the most debris in the gutters. To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows you want done. That is enough for us to quote it, and nothing you send gets used for anything else. If you want to remove dirt that has been building up for a year, say so when you call, because it changes how long the glass takes.

|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |

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, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Spring is the window to clear the seed and pollen that has built up over the winter, and fall is the window to clear the leaf load before the first hard freeze. To schedule service in either season, call us and we will set the exact months on your quote.
On the glass in spring you see the pollen film on south-facing windows and the pollen paste that washes into the gutters after the first rains, and picture windows show it most clearly. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs and the grit that settles on the sills. The cleaning solutions we use lift that film before the rinse. Wind and storm seasons move these dates, and we adjust when we see the glass and the gutters on the first visit rather than working from a calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between visits, 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 collects more dust on the frames and sills. These are the houses where a regular cleanings schedule pays for itself, because it keeps the mineral and debris build-up from setting. Cleanings are done on the same visit as the gutters when both are booked together, so the glass and the runs are never left out of step.
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 the rain. If you see either, call us and we will look.
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 work across Nesconset, for residential and commercial properties, and book the visit by phone or text. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a count of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we tell you the first open slot. Lead time depends on the season, and in the busy months the calendar fills. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our professional window cleaning crew handles the window cleaning services and the gutters in a single visit, which is the reason most owners here book both together. Multi-story buildings and older homes with clogged gutters take the longest, and we plan around the time they need. Clean glass and clear runs also help curb appeal from the street. Water damage from a run that has been overflowing for months is something we photograph and report, so you know what to look at.
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 nothing that comes off the roof lands on clean windows.
We quote residential properties by the number of stories and the size of the job. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure on the spot.
On our residential window jobs the outside carries most of the grime: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the outside of every window on a schedule keeps those from building up on the glass you look through.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall. We set the exact timing from what we see on the glass and in the gutters on the first visit.
Not with our order of work. We clear the runs and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, tracks are cleaned, and picture windows are washed from the outside with the rest of the glass, so none of it shows up as an extra on the invoice.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only. The windows inside are not part of this job, and if you want interior and exterior glass both done, the inside is booked as a separate visit. 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 the 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.
