Our cleaning services put the same two people on 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. Across New York, most of our work lands in the spring and fall, when leaves and grime are heaviest, and the crew that quotes the job is the crew that does it.
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, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. The same method applies to a residential and commercial building, since stories, window count and gutter runs are what set the time on the ladder.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings need a separate setup on each side. A window count with oversized panes or picture windows takes longer than a row of standard sashes. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need a second pass before they flow. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is something no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are included in the quote, with cleaning solutions and water supplied by the crew.
To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows face the street. From there we can say what the window cleaning services will cost before we book anything, with no surprises on the invoice. For interior and exterior work, we only handle the exterior glass on this visit, so we do not quote the inside. Our Pearl River work shows how this plays out: on one recent job, the house had three stories, a roof with heavy tree cover, and a row of picture windows along the back, and the quote reflected all three. You can check the job details and the photos at the linked case.
For regular cleanings, we have found that customers who book on a schedule keep their gutters clear and their glass in better shape, which lowers the amount of water damage we see later. Ask us for a written estimate and we will break down the stories, the windows and the gutter runs so you can compare.
| 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 Pearl River customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
In spring, what we find on the glass is pollen film on south-facing windows and a paste of pollen in the gutters and at the downspout elbows. In fall, it is the leaf load, which packs the runs and sits wet against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we book around the forecast when we can.
Some houses need a third visit, and professional window cleaning on a set schedule keeps up with what the lot is doing. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters loading between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house near a busy road or construction picks up grime faster than a quiet street. On those properties, our crew checks the schedule at the first visit and tells you what the lot needs.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge during rain. If you see either, it is time to call.
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 residential properties across Pearl River and book a window and gutter cleaning visit by phone or text. Every residential window on the house is done from the outside in the same visit. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send the number of stories with a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so the earlier you ask for a slot, the better your chance of getting the date you want. Outside those windows, we can usually fit you in sooner. If you live in one of the condos on a shared gutter line, tell us how many units share it so we quote the full run.
When we arrive, the crew works through the gutters first and then the glass, and we photograph each run and each window before we leave. Whether you need one visit or a schedule that repeats, professional window cleaning is quoted the same way: we tell you what to expect for every window and every downspout, along with the sill and frame work that comes with it.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two-person crew doing both washing services in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs down onto the clean windows.
We do not give a figure on the page because the number depends on stories, size and what is in the gutters. Text a photo of the house front or call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the number before we book.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the grime here: spring film, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that show up a day later. The crew can remove dirt that rain leaves on the frame and pane, and clean glass on the outside also looks better from the street, which is a plain curb appeal gain for the house.
Most of our Pearl River customers book in late spring and in late fall, once the leaves have dropped. Those are the busiest weeks for us, so book early if you have a set date in mind.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. If the glass were washed first, the leaves, grit and black water coming off the gutters would run down the wall and onto the panes below, and the runoff would leave a film on work already done.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job, so there is no extra line item on the invoice.
We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this visit. This visit is exterior glass and gutters only.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up and leave the side gate unlocked. Our crew works outside and sends photos of every run to your phone before we leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
