The same two people clean 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 both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. On our Pomfret jobs, most customers book this in spring and fall, so the crew knows the calendar your house runs on.
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 quote window cleaning services and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the figure before anyone is booked.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before the flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a standard cleaning. Gutters and downspouts get flushed, screens rinsed, and the sill under each window wiped as part of the job, and none of it is billed as an extra.
Our window washing services use a water-fed pole and purified water, so the work covers every window the pole can reach on the outside, along with the frames and sills. Every residential window gets the same treatment, and the purified water helps remove dirt without leaving a film. Cleaning interior and exterior glass is a different visit, and on this one we do not clean the windows inside. Our crews see grime build on the outside of picture windows fastest in the months after the pollen drop, which is why the first estimate asks about the glass as well as the gutters. Ask for a written estimate with the window count written in, and ask us to note which panes are hard to reach. Booking regular cleanings works the same way: say so on the call and the estimate shows the per-visit figure.
Here is a real example from our work. A customer on a two-story house with a large front picture window had the gutters cleared and the outside glass done in one visit; the quote came in higher than a standard house because of the picture window and the lifted guard on the back run. That is the kind of detail we check for on the phone, so the number matches what we charge.
| 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 homes get their gutters and windows done twice a year, in spring and fall. On our Pomfret jobs the same pattern holds: the spring visit clears the seed and pollen that packs the gutters and film builds on south-facing glass, and the fall visit clears the leaf load before the first hard freeze. Because both run on one calendar, one crew doing the window and gutter cleaning in one visit makes sense for most houses, and the same logic holds on residential and commercial buildings.
Pollen is the first thing we see in spring. It lays a film on the glass and turns to paste in the gutter elbows. Leaves are the fall problem, and wet leaves in the gutters are the reason we book the second visit early. Across New York, nor'easters shift the calendar some years, and a gutter that backs up in a storm sends runoff over the fascia, which is how water damage starts, so we confirm the window before we book.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means clogged gutters come back every few months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs take more ladder time, so the visit runs longer. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster. Cleaning solutions do not remove mineral spotting, so those cases get a separate note on the estimate.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze only in low sun. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. If you see either, text us a photo of the roofline and we will say which visit it belongs to.
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.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside and does not come in, and you get photos of the gutters and of every window the crew finished before the truck leaves. To schedule service, call or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will tell you the next open window. In the two busy stretches of the year, when pollen season and leaf fall hit, our calendar fills, so book early if you can. We call before we come, every time.
Our crews serve residential properties across the area with the same professional window cleaning and cleaning services we give every home, and we have done the work in several Pomfret neighborhoods where the houses have big trees and older gutters. Whether it is a single-story ranch, a three-story house or one of the condos on a shared lot, the process is the same, and clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal. The point is that you get one schedule, one crew, and one invoice, and the window cleaners who do the glass are the same people who clear the roof.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows on one visit, gutters first and glass last. Splitting it means two trips and two setups.
The number comes from the stories and the window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it before we book.
Yes, if the outside carries pollen, rain dust or sprinkler spots, which it does on most houses here. On a residential window, the outside takes the weather and the inside does not.
Most of our Pomfret customers book in spring, after the pollen drop, and in fall, after the leaves come down. Across New York the same two windows apply, and the same timing suits condos as well as single-family houses.
Not if we do the work in the right order. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed first, so the runoff is gone before anyone touches the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and the rinse is there to remove dirt that would otherwise wash back onto the glass. Tracks are included on most houses; if a track is badly packed we will tell you on the estimate.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, and we do not do the windows inside or pressure washing. Owners of residential properties get the same outside-only visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
