Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips.
We do this work across New York every spring and fall, and most of our North Bay Shore customers book both in those seasons. You get the same crew from the first ladder to the final photo.
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 multi-story buildings and single-family houses alike by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The same rule covers condos and other residential properties. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Mixed-use buildings, where residential and commercial space share a roof, get a separate estimate, so say which one you have when you call.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. Window washing services on exterior glass are the core of the visit, and the crew handles every window we can reach from the ground or the pole.
Getting the exact number is simple. Send a text with the stories and an estimate of the window count, plus a photo of the front of the house. Our crew uses those three things to set the price before anyone books a date. Regular cleanings keep the job quicker and easier to price over time, because the gutters are not carrying years of grime.

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 Bay Shore customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across New York the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in November to early December.
What we find at each visit follows the season. In spring the window and gutter pair both carry pollen, a film on the south-facing glass and a paste in the gutters that turns into a sticky crust if it sits. Fall brings the leaf load, and in a wet year the gutters and downspouts hold water and grit against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons move those dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar when we set the slot.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters coming back between visits, and a gutter that stays full long enough can start water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that return a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust, and cleaning solutions alone do not remove dirt in one pass.
Two signs tell you the windows need us sooner: haze you only notice when the sun is low, and water sheeting over the gutter edge in a rain. Either one means the cycle has run long.
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 works across North Bay Shore, and we clean residential window glass on the outside of the house with the estimate kept simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we will tell you the price and the earliest slot we can offer. Lead time varies with the season, and we tell you the real date when you call rather than promising one we cannot hold.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the late spring pollen season and the fall leaf season. Booking early in those months is the easiest way to get the date you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside.
We are one of several professional window cleaning crews in the area, but we keep to two cleaning services and one visit: gutters first, glass last. That focus keeps the schedule clean and the curb appeal of the house intact. Ask for a written estimate of our window cleaning services if you want the scope on paper before you schedule service.
Yes. On our North Bay Shore jobs the same two-person crew does the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first, so the glass is not dirtied again.
We give the number by phone or text, based on the stories and the size of the house, since the price depends on what is on your house. Call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and a rough window count and we will name it.
Often yes, because the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up on the glass between visits and dim the view from the house.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, around the pollen season, and again in late fall after the leaves drop. Across New York the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in November to early December.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the gutter debris and the black runoff run down the wall and across it, so we avoid that order entirely.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed separately. Tracks are included in the same pass when they are reachable from outside.
No. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, so this visit covers the exterior only, and we do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing on it. Ask us about scope if you need something beyond the outside of the glass.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
