Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York we see most homes come back to us in spring and fall, once the spring dust and leaves have done their work.
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. Doing the gutters and the outside glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We quote the exterior only, so if you were hoping for the interior and exterior in one price, tell us on the phone and we will say what this visit covers.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote: a third story or a steep roof that has to be worked from a boom or scissor lift, oversized panes and a high window count, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes, plus grime baked onto the frames. Every one of those shows up before we start, so you are not surprised at the end.
Our Palm Tree work is mostly exterior glass and gutter runs, with window washing added where the house has picture windows or a lot of glass on the south side. Most homeowners also ask about window cleaning services for the whole house, and the washing services we offer are priced by the same stories and window count. We keep regular cleanings on the calendar for customers who want the same crew back each season, and that is where the cleanings history helps us plan the route. To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has.
| 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 residential and commercial buildings are cleaned twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and that is the window and gutter cadence we plan around.
Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and sticky tree residue packs into the downspout elbows. Fall is when the leaf load comes off the trees and turns into a wet mat in clogged gutters. On our jobs the spring and fall visits catch most of what grows on a house, and a clean fall run keeps the winter clear. The crew rinses the glass with purified water and uses only mild cleaning solutions where a film needs them.
Some homes, and multi-story buildings in particular, need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road all leave deposits faster than the twice-a-year rhythm can keep up with. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after we wipe them, and those usually mean the line needs adjusting. A run that overflows can also lead to water damage on the fascia below, so an overflow is worth a call sooner rather than later.
You will see when windows need it on a low-sun morning, when a haze that was not there last month shows up on the glass from the windows inside the house. You will see when gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. If either one is happening now, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will book a date.
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 cleans the outside of homes across Palm Tree, and we schedule service around each client's calendar. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories. We give a slot based on how full the calendar is, and we call before we come, so you know when the truck will pull up.
The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when tree dust and leaves are heaviest. If you can wait until the rest of the season settles, the calendar opens up. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but the crew asks you to move cars off the driveway if the windows face it.
We work as professional window cleaning crews for homes, and every residential window gets the same attention. We also offer cleaning services for residential properties that want the same people back, and we pride ourselves on keeping every window clean from sill to frame and remove dirt from the sills before we leave. The goal is curb appeal you can see from the street. Gutters and downspouts get the same care as the glass. If you want to schedule service for your house, the crew will confirm the date by phone.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Condos are priced the same way, by stories and window count. Text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the story count, and we give you the figure by phone or text before anyone is scheduled.
On our Palm Tree jobs the outside of every residential window carries most of the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, so the glass looks hazy from the street even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside is the part that changes how the house looks.
Across New York most homes book in spring and fall. Late May into June catches the spring tree dust, and November catches the leaf mat before the first hard freeze.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. Every run is flushed and given a few minutes to drip before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on most jobs and are confirmed on the estimate.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass and we do not pressure wash on this job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
