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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our North Babylon jobs, most customers book it in spring and fall, which is when leaves and grime build up fastest on the house and in the gutters.
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. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and the bundle saving is shown in your quote. Stories and steep roofs set the access, so a third floor or a roof we cannot walk changes the crew's setup. On multi-story buildings the crew works from more ladder positions, and window count and oversized picture windows change the time on the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time, and so does hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which no cleaning removes on its own.
Flushing the gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. The glass gets purified water, not cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to streak. This quote covers the exterior only. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and we do not bill interior work on this visit. On our North Babylon jobs, the quotes that move most are the ones where the crew cannot see the back run from the ground. Send us a text with a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories, and we can give you a close number before we book.

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 North Babylon customers book both twice a year, once in late May or June and once in November, so one crew in one visit makes sense. In late spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In November it is the wet leaf mat and the grit that the first storms carry in from the trees. Nor'easters and the wind seasons across New York can move the dates, so we confirm the day with you the week before. Houses under heavy tree cover, with big limbs over the roof, often need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. When gutters clog and runoff spills over the edge, the trim and siding below take the water, and that water damage is why we check the outlets first. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the spots that come back a day later, and a house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grime on the glass. Those are the cases where regular cleanings keep the job from building up.
Windows show the need for professional window cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters show it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Both signs mean it is time to book.
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 residential properties across North Babylon and cover every window on the house, not only the ones facing the street. Clean glass does a lot for curb appeal, and each residential window gets the same rinse. Residential and commercial glass have different access needs, so this page covers homes only. Condos are quoted by the glass and gutter run that belongs to your unit, so tell us which part is yours. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We confirm a window and gutter cleaning slot by phone and call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew stays outside and sends photos of each run when it is done. The two busiest windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills first, so booking early keeps your preferred day. Once we have the stories and the glass count, we can lock a date, and the crew arrives with the ladders, water and purified rinse already set up.
Yes, the same two people handle our window washing services and gutter cleaning in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the gutter water does not end up on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before we book. There is no fixed figure we can give without seeing the house.
On our jobs here, the outside collects film from the season, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dull even when the inside is clean. A rinse alone does not remove dirt that has dried on the frame, so the frame gets wiped too. Cleaning the outside is what changes how the house looks from the street.
Our customers here book in late spring and in November, after the leaves drop. Call (866) 435-6328 to set a date before the calendar fills.
Not with our order of work. The roof is blown off, the gutters are cleared, the downspouts are flushed, and the wall is left to drip before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the glass work. We do not bill them as extras.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only. Windows inside the house are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
