Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them separately. Across New York, most of the homes we clean are booked for spring and fall, and that is the rhythm we work to here as well. The crew does professional window cleaning and gutter clearing in one visit. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We quote from the number of stories and an approximate window count, and that window and gutter bundle in one visit is cheaper than two separate trips.
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. Oversized picture windows and panes that need a boom or scissor lift change the setup. Gutters that have gone years without being opened are packed with needles and leaves, and clogged gutters take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run beneath. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone does not remove, and we flag it before we quote it. Each visit checks gutters and downspouts, and flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass, so that is not an extra either.
Across New York the first question we ask is the same: how many stories, roughly how many windows, and whether the gutters have been cleaned recently. The residential window count sets most of the time on the glass, so we ask for it first. A photo of the front of the house sent by text lets us give a firm number before we schedule. This quote covers the exterior only, not an interior and exterior package. Nothing gets added after the crew arrives that was not in that 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 jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. A rhythm of regular cleanings on that schedule is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
What we find in spring is the pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that settles into the runs once the trees are bare, and the runoff that follows it down the siding. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little either way, so we confirm the visit as the weather allows.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grime than the calendar alone suggests. Our crew notes these on the first visit so you know whether your lot needs the extra trip.
The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, since rain alone will not remove dirt from the glass. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain, and that overflow can lead to water damage on the fascia. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal between visits. If either shows up, text us a photo.
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 windows and gutters on residential properties across the city, from the neighborhoods nearest the center to the newer blocks further out. We do every window that can be reached from the outside, and anything we cannot reach safely gets flagged rather than guessed at. To schedule service for window and gutter cleaning, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text. We will ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front, which is usually enough for a firm number and an open date.
Lead time depends on the season. The two busy windows are spring and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills fastest. If you want a specific week in those months, book early and we will hold it for you. Outside those windows we can usually work with the dates you give us.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you are not surprised by a truck in the driveway. For a clean schedule, text us the day you want and we will confirm the window. This page covers residential work only, so we do not quote residential and commercial jobs from it.
Yes. The same two people do both, in one visit. Our washing services cover gutters and exterior glass, and we go gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the runs does not end up on the clean panes below.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, quoted by phone or text. Condos and multi-story buildings fall outside the house quote on this page, so call and we will tell you whether we can take one. We do not give a figure in this answer because the same two stories can land quite differently depending on window count and gutter condition.
On our jobs, yes. The outside carries rain dust, tree film and sprinkler spots, and those sit on the glass whether or not the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside alone is a normal and complete job.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall. Spring catches the tree bloom and fall catches the leaf drop, so those are the two busiest windows on the calendar.
Not if the order is right. When the gutters are cleared first, the leaves, grit and black water run down the wall before we touch the glass, so the panes get washed once and stay clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit as well, and we will tell you on the phone if anything needs more time than usual.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. The windows inside are not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. We tell you that up front so there is no surprise on the day.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
