Yes, 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 in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New York, our crews do this work every spring and fall, so the schedule is familiar to us and to the houses we visit.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. A high number of windows, or oversized panes, adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before any water can run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time as well. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue: cleaning will not remove it, and we say so up front. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough window count. A residential window job is priced by the stories and the pane count, and gutter cleaning and window washing services are quoted the same way, so you know the cost before the crew is on the ladder. Many of our customers book regular cleanings twice a year rather than waiting until the gutters back up, because a clean run costs less to keep clean than a clogged one costs to fix. Ask us for the written estimate and we will break down the grime, the interior and exterior glass question, and the picture windows separately, so you can see exactly what is being done.
| 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 customers here book both twice a year, once in late spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on this schedule.
On our jobs, the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and as pollen paste packed into the gutters in the spring. In the fall, the leaf load is the main thing we clear. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we check the roofline before we book. A window and gutter cleaning in the right month keeps water from backing up under the shingles, and regular cleanings remove dirt before it bonds to the glass.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof fills the downspouts between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the glass, and that shows up sooner. Our crews carry cleaning solutions suited to each job, and we match the schedule to what the house is actually catching. Owners of residential and commercial buildings, including multi-story buildings, often ask how this differs, and the answer is the same calendar and the same two-person crew.
The clearest sign the windows need attention is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The clearest sign the gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Either one is a reason to call, and clogged gutters left alone can lead to water damage at the fascia and foundation.
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 crews have cleaned homes across Putnam Valley, and we schedule each visit around the number of stories and the window count. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. We will confirm the lead time for your address, and we will call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. Our calendar fills quickly in those months, so an early estimate gets you a slot sooner. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. If you are weighing bids from other window cleaning services or window cleaners, ask each one whether the gutters are included in the same visit and how many people are on the crew. Professional window cleaning done alongside gutter work protects the glass from the runoff that gutters and downspouts shed. A schedule service that handles both on one date keeps your curb appeal consistent through the season, and it means every window gets done in the same pass rather than spread across two trips. Ask for a written estimate and we will put the stories, the window count and the scope in writing before we book.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two-person crew doing both in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff from the gutters off the clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will quote it the same day.
Yes, for residential properties, because the outside of the glass carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots. Even when the glass you see from the room looks clean, the outside can still look hazy in low sun.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the pollen drop, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Across New York, the spring and fall windows work the same way.
No, that is the reason we clean gutters first and glass last. Washing the windows before the gutters are cleared means the runoff lands on glass that was just done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the glass work.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing on it.
You do not need to be home, and the same is true for condos, since the crew works on the outside of the building. 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. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
