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 the runoff never lands on 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. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service for both.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window washing on its own is quoted the same way, so one quote covers both. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The figure you get from us depends on what the crew finds, not on a standard rate.
What moves a quote on our jobs is what we see on the day. A third story or a steep roof means boom or scissor lift work and more time on the ladder. Multi-story buildings cost more per window for the same reason. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes that take two people to handle. Clogged gutters, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and we flag any water damage we find behind a full run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone does not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The windows inside the house are not part of this number.
The exact number comes from three things: how many stories, roughly how many windows, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Many owners book professional window cleaning for the curb appeal of a clean front, and the window cleaners on our crew look at the glass before they quote. On our New Castle jobs, the houses with heavy tree cover and the ones with sprinkler spotting tend to need the most time, and we say so before we arrive. Text us the photo and we will tell you what to expect before you book.
| 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.
Most of our New Castle customers book cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across New York, spring visits run late May to June, and the fall visit runs late October to November. On our jobs, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters in the spring, while the leaf load arrives in the fall. Across New York, nor'easters can move these dates, so we confirm the timing when you call.
Some residential properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof sends needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and picture windows show them most. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust, so we check every window before we set the schedule. The sills under those windows get wiped on every visit, not just the glass. On those properties we suggest a third visit, and we tell you why after the first look.
The sign that a residential window needs cleaning sooner is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and clean windows show the difference right away. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If you see either, call us, and we will look at every window and the gutter run before we schedule service.
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 gutters and exterior windows across the New Castle area. Each residential window gets the same pass, and we work on residential properties, condos and multi-story buildings alike. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills, so the earlier you call, the sooner we can schedule service. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We keep interior and exterior work apart on the quote, so you know exactly what the visit covers.
The crew handles the washing services and window cleaning services in one visit, and we clear gutters and downspouts while we work on the glass. Runoff from the roof is the reason we do the gutters first, so the glass gets a clean rinse at the end. We remove dirt and grime from sills and frames as part of the job, and we use purified water instead of cleaning solutions on the glass.
Quotes for residential and commercial jobs both start with the number of stories and the window count, so call with those two numbers and we will give you a price before anyone is scheduled.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text before anyone is scheduled.
On our New Castle jobs, the outside takes the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the grime builds up there first. Picture windows show it most, and cleaning the exterior alone gives you a clear view from inside.
Across New York, spring visits run late May to June, and the fall visit runs late October to November. Call (866) 435-6328 to confirm the timing for New Castle.
No. We clear the clogged gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall drip off, and only then start on the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned on every window we reach from outside, and none of it is billed as an extra. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass.
This visit covers the exterior only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and interior and exterior glass are priced apart. We do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, 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.
