Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, and we give the number when you call (866) 435-6328, the same number on the invoice.
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 window cleaning services and gutter work are priced 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, and it comes from those figures plus what the gutters look like when we open them.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes add time at the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the quote, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the kind of mark no cleaning removes, so we flag it on the visit. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how we get to a number for a home that is not the same as the one next door. Text a photo of the front of the house, tell us the number of stories, and give us a rough window count. Mention the cleaning solutions you have seen on the glass, the film that settles on the glass in spring, and whether you have picture windows that are hard to reach. For commercial work, we quote residential and commercial jobs on the same basis, and on a larger property we also look at the gutter runs, the roof access and how many times a year a building needs its gutters and windows cleaned. Most of our regular cleanings come out as the same two-visit pattern, so we set the schedule up front.
Our New Hyde Park crew has cleaned a two-story house with a steep front roof and tall windows on the stair landing. The gutters had not been opened in several seasons, and the first run was packed with seeds and grit that had settled into the elbow. The job took a morning, and the quote was the one we gave on the phone. Nothing in the price was a surprise on the invoice.
| 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 homeowners book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in the spring and the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. For New Hyde Park specifically, the timing follows what we find on the glass and in the gutters at each visit.
In spring we find a film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load that the wind pushed into the runs over the season, and storm and wind seasons often move the dates by a few weeks. Most of our customers here book the spring visit as the seed drop finishes, and the fall visit before the wet leaf mat turns to a sludge that holds water against the fascia.
Some houses, and multi-story buildings in particular, need a third visit. We see that most often with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, with a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves the spots that come back a day later, and with a house close to a busy road or active construction, where the glass picks up haze faster. Those houses are the ones where our crew books regular cleanings instead of waiting for a single seasonal visit, and the cleaning services schedule is set by the house, not by the calendar.
You will see haze on the glass when the sun is low and you cannot see through the pane at the right angle, and that is the sign the windows need it. Clean glass also helps the curb appeal of the house from the street. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in a steady rain is the sign the gutters need it, and that is often a sign of clogged gutters rather than a slope problem. Left alone, clogged gutters can lead to water damage on the fascia and siding. Because we look at both on the same visit, we can tell which one you have.
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.
Our crew has worked across New Hyde Park, and at this point we are cleaning homes and buildings in several of the neighborhoods across the city. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you the estimate the same day. The lead time to get on the calendar depends on the season, so we give you the date with the estimate rather than guessing at it.
The busy windows are the spring pollen period and the late fall leaf drop, and in those weeks the calendar fills. If you want the visit in one of those windows, book as soon as you have the estimate, so we can schedule service before the slots run out. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way.
We clean residential properties, including condos, and commercial buildings on the same route, with the same crew. For residential window and gutter cleaning, professional window cleaning means we give every window the same attention, from the top floor down to the sill, so the clean windows are the result of a finished visit rather than a quick pass.
Yes, it is the same two-person crew, and we do both on one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not end up on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range here, because the number depends on what the gutters look like when we open them.
For most homes here, yes. The outside carries the spring film, rain dust, grime, and the sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. Cleaning the inside does nothing to remove dirt from the outside of the pane, so interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall. The spring visit comes after the seed drop, and the fall visit comes after the leaves come down. Across New York the same two windows work for most houses.
It will if the glass is washed first, which is why we do the gutters first. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water come down the wall and across the window below it, so we give the wall time to stop dripping before we touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included on the exterior side of the window. We do not do the interior side on this visit.
We clean the exterior of the windows only on this visit. Our washing services do not include the windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home, because the crew works outside and does not come inside. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
