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 the wash water never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across New York, most homeowners book us for the spring and fall visits, when the glass and the gutters both need the work most. Call (866) 435-6328 with your story count and we will give you the number on the phone.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Window washing and gutter work share one quote, so the bundle in one visit costs less than booking washing services and gutter cleaning as two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with nothing added on the day.
On our jobs, the quote moves with a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Years of grime on the glass takes more time than a light wash, and every residential window gets the same rinse. Regular cleanings keep each run light, so there is less to haul on the next visit. The wash is also there to remove dirt from the frames, not only the glass. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across New York, the exact number comes from a few facts we ask for before we book: how many stories, roughly how many windows, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. This pricing is for residential properties, and multi-story buildings are priced by the story. We quote exterior glass only, so an interior and exterior job is a separate call. A photo tells us more about the roofline and the glass than a phone description does. Once we have those, we call before we come and confirm the number in writing, so the invoice matches the quote.
| 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 gutters and windows twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Each visit finds something different. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load, and clogged gutters hold a wet mat until the first hard freeze. Two cleanings a year is the usual pattern, and we use no cleaning solutions on the glass, only purified water, so nothing dries as a film.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Gutters that overflow send runoff down the siding, and that can lead to water damage on the wall below. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames. On those houses we suggest adding a visit, and we tell you why after the first look.
You know the windows need work when the haze only shows up when the sun is low. You know the gutters need work when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 gutters and exterior windows across New York and book a slot with a short phone or text call. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm a date. We keep a steady calendar for the window and gutter bundle, and the calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop. Booking early in those months gets you the date you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we arrive. Our professional window cleaning uses a water-fed pole for the upper panes and a ladder with stand-offs for the gutters, so every window and every run gets the same attention. Our window cleaning services move the way window cleaners work a street, one side at a time, and we keep the curb appeal of the house in mind when we finish each side.
Yes. Our crew does both the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last. The same two people handle the whole job, so there is one appointment and one invoice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We ask for the story count, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house, then we call with the figure before we book. Condos and residential and commercial buildings go through the same photo check, so send one and we say whether the visit fits.
Usually the outside is where the dirt builds up here. Dust, rain grime and sprinkler spots collect on the exterior of each residential window, and the inside stays clean on its own. Cleaning the outside keeps the glass clear without touching the interior.
Across New York, most of our customers book in spring and in fall. The spring visit clears the film off the glass, and the fall visit clears the leaves before the first hard freeze. Booking before those busy windows gets you the date you want.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. Once the runs are cleared and the downspouts flushed, the runoff has a few minutes to drain off the wall, and only then do we start on the windows.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We rinse the screens, wipe the sills and clean the tracks as we go, so the frames come out clean with the glass.
No, this visit covers the outside of the windows only. We do not touch the windows inside and we do not do pressure washing on this visit, so the work stays on the exterior of the house.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
