Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through spring and fall, and most of our North Greenbush customers book the pair in both seasons.
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 residential window and gutter jobs by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking two separate washing services. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge for the window washing and the gutter work together. Stories and window count are what we ask for first, and a photo of the front of the house by text gives us what we need to firm it up.
Several things move the quote, and they are the things our crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high count of picture windows take longer on the glass. Heavy grime on the lower panes, the kind road spray leaves, takes more passes than a light film, since the crew has to remove dirt that has baked onto the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more time at each run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem: cleaning removes the dirt, but it does not remove the mineral marks, and we say so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Ask us about the interior and exterior split when you call, since this visit covers only the exterior glass and not the windows inside.
Our window cleaning services in North Greenbush are priced this way, and the quote that surprises people is usually the one where the house has regular cleanings missed for a few seasons, so the gutters and the glass both need the extra pass. Our crew photographs the runs and the glass before and after, so you can see what the extra time bought. For an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with a written estimate before anyone books a date.

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, the window and gutter cycle runs on the same calendar, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most houses in the spring and again in the fall. The spring visit falls in late May to June across New York, and on our North Greenbush jobs, most customers book the fall visit in late October or November.
What we find at each visit follows the seasons. In the spring, the pollen film sits on the south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters, the elbows and the downspouts. In the fall, the leaf load is the problem, and gutters and downspouts carry wet leaves that go soft and heavy over the winter. Freeze risk is real here, so clogged gutters send runoff back against the fascia through the cold months, and that is how water damage starts at the trim. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, and when a nor'easter goes through, we check the runs after the wind drops.
Some houses need a third visit, and we tell people early when that applies. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded through the year. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster on the glass. On those houses, cleaning solutions alone do not hold the look, and the schedule has to change. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass run longer than a standard two-story house, and we tell people early when that applies. Our crew can run window and gutter work on a set calendar, and residential and commercial properties both follow the same logic.
Two signs tell you when it is time. Haze on the glass shows up when the sun is low and you can see the film at an angle. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in the rain means the runs are clogged or the slope has gone wrong. When you see either, a cleaning is due, and if the sheeting continues after a cleaning, that points to a slope problem rather than debris, which we will say plainly.
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 Greenbush, and we book residential properties from the stories, the window count and a photo of the house front. Booking starts with a phone call or a text, and we call before we come. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we give you the next open date when you ask. The busy windows are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, and that is when our calendar fills first. Book early in those months to get the date you want.
We provide professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning services sized to the house, including every residential window on it, and our window cleaners work the glass from a pole so the panes dry clean without a ladder against the siding. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Every window gets the same attention, sill included, and the curb appeal of the house shows up in the glass and the gutter line together. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will reply with a written estimate.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people, and they clear the gutters and downspouts before the glass so the runoff does not land on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a range without those details.
On our North Greenbush residential window jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dirty from outside even when the glass inside is clean.
Across New York, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and most of our North Greenbush customers book the fall visit in late October or November, after the leaf drop. Owners of condos and other residential properties follow the same calendar and are quoted by stories and window count, the same as a house.
Not when the gutters go first. The leaves, the grit and the black water come down the wall as we clear each run, so the crew washes the glass after the gutters are done and can remove dirt from the frames in the same pass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included with the sills on the exterior side.
On this visit we clean the exterior only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while 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.
