The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here in North Castle, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by what comes off the roof. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Our crew has done this work on our North Castle jobs for each spring and fall, and it is the most common way our customers book us. Text a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and you get the number we will charge.
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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window cleaning separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. No cleaning solutions go on the glass, because the water is purified.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer on the ladder, and multi-story buildings with a lot of glass take longer again. Oversized panes and picture windows take more time per pane. Clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, especially ones that have not been cleaned in years, need more passes before they run clear, and gutters that overflow every rain can lead to water damage at the fascia. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is something no cleaning removes, so we point it out before we start. Interior and exterior glass are not the same job; this visit covers the exterior only, and the price reflects that. Windows inside the house are a separate job and are not priced here.
On our North Castle jobs the quote is set by a few facts we ask for before anyone comes out. Send a photo of the front of the house by text, tell us the number of stories, and give us a rough window count, and we can set the number over the phone. The same stories-and-window-count method covers residential and commercial glass. For a house with a lot of trees, the regular cleanings run a little higher because the gutters fill faster and the glass collects more pollen and grit between visits. Once the first visit is done, we can tell you how often your house needs the regular cleanings and what the next visit will cost.

|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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.
On our North Castle jobs most customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across New York, spring visits usually fall in late May to June. Here in North Castle, our fall visits usually run late October to November, when the gutters and glass need the work most.
In spring the glass shows a pollen film on the south-facing panes, and the gutters carry pollen paste that dries into a crust at the elbows. In fall the work is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs until the first hard freeze, and freezing is a real risk here, so clogged gutters left too long become a problem by winter. Nor'easters move the dates across New York, so we book from the calendar and not from the month alone. Houses under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roof, often need a third visit because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road picks up more grime on the outside of the glass. Runoff from clogged gutters is the other common cause, which is why the gutters are cleared before the glass.
The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, because that means the runs are full. Clean glass also does more for curb appeal than most owners expect. A spring or fall visit is the time to remove dirt that has built up over the season. Cleaning services for the gutters and the glass are tied together on our jobs, so professional window cleaning and gutter work go on one schedule, set after the first look at the house.
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 window cleaning services cover residential window and gutter jobs across North Castle, and we book by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm a visit window. Our lead time depends on the season, and the busy weeks in late spring and fall fill first, so book early if you want a particular week. Schedule service with us by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a photo of the roofline. Homeowners who search for window cleaners in North Castle get this same single visit.
Our crew takes care of every window on the exterior and the gutters and downspouts in one visit, from the roof edge down to the sill. Clean windows and gutters get the same standard whether the house is a single-family home, one of the condos in the area, or one of the residential properties. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We ask for the side gate to be unlocked and the cars moved off the driveway if windows face it. Our washing services are booked as one visit, not two.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter work happen on the same visit, with the gutters and downspouts cleared first and the glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again.
Our washing services are priced by the stories and the size of the house, and the same method covers houses and condos. We give the number by phone or text, and there is no number we can give without those facts.
On our jobs the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dirty from the street even when the inside is clean. Plenty of owners book only the exterior, since clean glass does a lot for curb appeal.
Most of our customers here book professional window cleaning in late spring and again in late fall, and we can tell you the open dates when you call.
Not with our order of work. We clear the gutters, flush the downspouts and let the wall stop dripping before the glass gets touched, so the runoff from clogged gutters does not reach the panes.
Screens are rinsed, and sills are wiped to remove dirt as part of the job. Tracks are included in the exterior visit.
No. We do not clean windows inside the house, and pressure washing is not part of this visit. This visit covers the exterior glass only.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move the 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.
