The same two people who clean your gutters also clean 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 booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, once the seed drop and the leaf fall are done.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window washing and gutter cleaning run on one route, so one crew handles both on the same day. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you the figure from those details.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time. Oversized picture windows and long runs of glass take longer than a standard residential window. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are added to the time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Queens job last spring, a two-story house with a long back run and a row of picture windows facing the street was quoted from its stories and window count alone, and the figure did not change on the day. That is the point of the phone estimate: the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house tell us most of what we need. Our washing services for the whole house are quoted that way, not just the gutters. Regular cleanings keep the grime thin enough that one pass clears it, and they keep the quote from climbing. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and this quote covers the exterior only. Ask for a written estimate before you book, and we will send it.
| 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 Queens customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the outside of the house. This page covers houses only, so residential and commercial buildings fall outside the quote here. Each visit finds something different. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters and the elbows of the downspouts. In fall the leaf load comes down the wall and clogs the outlets, and the first wet snow shows up the runs that were never cleared.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings, and clogged gutters are the usual sign. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after the cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grit that a single visit does not clear. We also see water damage start where a run has overflowed for a season, and that is the case we flag first. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass need a longer visit, so book those early.
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 during rain. Both are the cue to book. Booking window and gutter cleaning together, once in each season, is the simplest way to clear both before the next cycle. Cleaning solutions are kept to a minimum, since the rinse does most of the work on the glass.
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 has cleaned gutters and exterior windows across Queens, and we run a steady schedule of jobs on residential properties, with professional window cleaning and gutter work on the same route. Our cleaning services cover gutters and downspouts and the outside glass in one booking. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate that uses the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Ask us to schedule service for the week you want, and we will tell you the first open slot.
In the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen and the leaves come down, our calendar fills faster, so it helps to book early. Every window on the house is quoted from the same estimate, so the sill and the frame are not extra stops on the day. Our window cleaners work the outside of the glass from a pole or a short ladder, and the crew keeps the same standard on every pane. The runoff from the gutters is cleared before the glass is touched, so it does not streak the windows. Clean glass and clear gutters add to curb appeal, and the crew works to remove dirt from every pane instead of smearing it.
Yes. On residential properties the same two people do both on one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters does not land on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the figure. A residential window on a standard frame takes less time than a picture window, and that shows in the estimate. If you live in a condo, send the building's story count and window count and we will tell you whether the same estimate applies.
On our jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and clearing it does more for curb appeal than most owners expect. Clean inside glass with dirty outside glass still looks hazy in low sun.
Most of our customers book in late spring and in late fall. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the date for your window cleaning services.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters streaks it again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, which helps remove dirt that would otherwise wash back onto the glass. Tracks are included in the same visit.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside stay as they are. Interior and exterior cleaning are different jobs, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
