Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew handles spring and fall visits across New York, and most of our North Hempstead customers book both in those 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 exterior gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Window washing and gutter work are quoted together, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking window cleaning services and washing services on separate days. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and the boom or scissor lift. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows that take extra care. Grime built up on the sills and in the runs adds time, and gutters nobody has cleared in years come out heavier. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the runs underneath. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not something a cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is the honest answer on your own house. Our quote covers the exterior only, and this page does not price interior and exterior work together, so tell us if you want both. Send us a photo of the front, tell us how many stories it has, and roughly how many windows face the street and the back. From that we can tell you whether the gutters are a quick run or a longer one, and whether your windows will need the same visit. Our crew has done a lot of the same kind of work in North Hempstead, so most of what we ask is familiar. For regular cleanings on a set schedule, ask us about the rate for repeat visits and we will put the numbers in writing so there are no surprises when the crew arrives.
| 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.
Most of our North Hempstead customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, one visit in spring and one in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on a regular schedule.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. In fall, the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs until the first freeze. We do not rely on cleaning solutions on the glass in spring, because purified water lifts the film off. Across New York, nor'easters can move the dates on either visit, and we book residential and commercial jobs around the weather rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts, and clogged gutters back up faster between cleanings. Water damage starts when a run stays full and spills over the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after we clean them. Multi-story buildings and houses near a busy road or a construction site collect more dust on the outside of every window. On those houses we tell you early that a third visit will pay off.
You will know the windows need it when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. Haze on the windows inside is a different problem and not part of this visit. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, text us a photo and we will tell you what we think is happening.
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 Hempstead, and we can usually schedule service around the spring and fall rush once you have an estimate. Book by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will put a date on the calendar. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. That is how we run every professional window cleaning visit.
The spring and fall visits are the busy windows. Our calendar fills quickly in those weeks, so the earlier you call, the better your chance of getting the slot you want. Our window cleaning services cover the gutters and every window on the outside of the house in one visit, and the crew brings its own water and power. Clean glass, a wiped sill and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and the difference shows from the street. If you want to schedule service for a set date, tell us when you need it and we will tell you what we can do.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes.
We give you the number by phone or text, based on the stories and the size of the house, because a residential window job depends on what the house has. We do not quote a price range without seeing the house, so call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front and we will tell you the exact figure.
On our North Hempstead jobs, the outside carries the most of what dulls the glass: the spring coating, rain dust, runoff from the roof, and sprinkler spotting. Cleaning only the inside does not remove dirt from the outside of the glass, so all of that stays in place.
Across New York, spring visits run late May to June, and fall visits run November to early December. Most residential properties we clean in North Hempstead book in those two seasons, because they leave the most leaf load on the house, so an early booking gets you a slot before the calendar fills.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, flush every downspout, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the windows. That order is the whole reason we do both in one visit.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the same visit when they can be reached from outside, and we tell you before we start if anything is out of reach.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. If the building is one of several condos on shared gutters, tell us when you call, because shared gutters change the visit.
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 unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
