Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the roofline never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Oswego customers often book this in fall, when leaves are heaviest on the house, and the number we quote on the phone is the number on your invoice.
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 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. Window washing and gutter cleaning share one setup, so the washing services are priced once, not twice. The number we give you by phone or text is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. A window count that runs high adds hours to the glass, and picture windows run wider than a standard sash, so each one takes longer on the pole. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes, so we flag it rather than promise it away.
Our window cleaning services cover the outside glass on every story, and the quote includes every window you want done. Grime that has sat on the glass for a season takes more time than a light film, so the price reflects what is on the pane. We quote exterior glass only on this visit. If you want interior and exterior work priced together, ask and we will quote it separately. Regular cleanings keep each visit shorter, because the grit never builds into a crust. On a recent Oswego job, the house had gutters nobody had opened in years and a window count that went past what the owner had guessed. The crew cleared the runs, flushed every downspout, then did the exterior glass from the pole. The quote was set from stories and window count before the visit, and the photos of each gutter run went to the owner before the crew left. For a number you can count on, send us a photo of the front of the house by text along with your story count and a rough window count, and we will tell you where it lands.

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, spring visits usually run late May to June. For Oswego homes, the fall visit lands late October to November, and customers usually book twice a year, once in each window, so one crew in one visit makes sense for the house. In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass, and the pollen packs into the gutters as a damp mat. In fall the leaf load comes down in a wet mat, and the glass picks up the grit that runs off the roof. September, October and November are the wettest months here, with about 43 inches of precipitation a year. We reach for cleaning solutions only where a pane needs more than a rinse. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates a few weeks in either direction.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters are what send water over the edge onto the siding and cause water damage. 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 picks up a film faster than one on a quiet street. We look at these on the first visit and tell you what your lot needs.
You can tell the glass needs it when a haze shows up only when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign means it is time to book, and we will send the photos before we quote anything else.
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 Oswego, and we book the window and gutter work by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the number of stories, or send a photo of the house front, and we will give you an estimate with a typical lead time. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so booking earlier in those months gets you the slot you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The crew brings the water and the pole, and the cleaning services run from the roof blow-off to the last pane on the outside. Our professional window cleaning is quoted for every window on the house, and the same approach fits residential and commercial jobs. Commercial buildings and multi-story buildings get the same scheduling. Gutters and windows are scheduled as one job, so the visit is one crew, one setup, and one invoice. For houses that want their curb appeal kept up between visits, we set up the schedule service you prefer and keep the dates on the calendar.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows at residential properties and condos in one visit, gutters first and glass last. It is the same two people on the ladder and the pole, so there is one setup and one invoice.
We do not give a figure here because the number comes from your stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the number.
On our Oswego jobs, the outside collects the film from the air, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and that builds up even when the inside is clean. Outside glass is what we clean on this visit, and it is the part most homeowners see first.
Across New York, spring visits usually run late May to June. For Oswego homes, the fall visit lands late October to November, after the leaves and the runoff from the fall rains have built up on the house.
No, because we do gutters and downspouts first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass is cleaned after the gutters and downspouts are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are cleaned on request, and we remove dirt from them with a brush before the glass is done. We tell you before we start if they need more time.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this visit. If you need those, we will say so and point you to the right work.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list, and we call before we come.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
