Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our customers in Plattsburgh most often book it for the spring and fall cleanings, when the glass and gutters take the most buildup.
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 stories and approximate window count. Our window cleaning services cost less when gutters and windows are done in one visit than when they are booked as two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The bundle saving is shown on your estimate.
On the day, the crew sees what moves a quote: a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked, oversized picture windows, gutters not cleaned in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
We have to see the house to give you the exact number. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will send a firm figure. Most of the window washing services we book on residential properties come down to that count, and the same goes for gutters and downspouts on condos or multi-unit buildings, where the runoff from one roof can reach a neighbor's glass. We aim to remove dirt and grime from every surface we touch, and we will tell you before work starts if something needs more time.

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 Plattsburgh 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 them. In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and sticky sap packed into the gutters. In fall the leaf load comes down and sits wet on the roof and in the runs. Windy and storm seasons can move those dates by a few weeks.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that most often with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit keep packing the downspouts, with a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, and with houses near a busy road or active construction. A window and gutter cleaning on those houses is a regular cleanings schedule rather than a one-time job.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Book the next visit when you see either one, and we will tell you on the first visit how often your house actually needs it.
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 provides cleaning services for gutters and exterior windows across Plattsburgh and the surrounding area, and we keep a standing calendar for the spring and fall cleaning seasons. The crew brings its own cleaning solutions, water and poles, so nothing is needed from your hose or your supplies. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. You will get a firm date after that. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come.
The calendar fills up in the two busy windows of the year, which is the reason to book early rather than waiting for the first clogged gutters or visible spotting. Dirty gutters left over the winter can cause water damage to fascia and sills, and a glass job that has been put off often needs two passes. Booking ahead keeps the cleaning on schedule and keeps the house in good curb appeal through the season.
We work on residential and commercial properties, with homeowners, property managers and owners of condos. We bring a professional window cleaning setup with water-fed poles, so the upper floors get reached without ladders against the siding. The same setup covers multi-story buildings, and a residential window on the third floor gets the same pole as one at ground level. Clogged gutters and runoff are the two things we check on every run.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps dirty runoff off clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and how many windows the house has, and every window counts. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will send a firm figure.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up here. Those sit on the exterior, so washing only the inside leaves that haze on the glass. Clean windows only show the view once both faces are done.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, when the leaves and buildup are heaviest. Text a photo of the house front and we will tell you which week fits your house.
No, we do gutters first and glass last, so any debris and water from the roof is cleared before we touch the windows. The order matters because a glass job done first has to be wiped again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on a standard visit, so there is no separate line on the invoice for them.
We are exterior only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. Interior glass is not part of this visit, so ask us about it separately if you need interior and exterior work. We do not do pressure washing on this visit, so ask us about that separately if you need it.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. Schedule service with us by phone or text and we will confirm the arrival window.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
