Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the 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 the homes we clean book it for the spring and fall visits, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
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 gutter and window cleaning 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. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, and it is built from those inputs before the crew ever leaves the truck.
On the day, the crew finds the things that move the number. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder, and multi-story buildings are scheduled by story count before anything else. Oversized panes and picture windows take more time than standard double-hung sashes. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more passes, and clogged gutters get cleared before any glass is touched. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. The crew uses purified water on the glass and adds cleaning solutions only where a film needs them. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Most of the homes we see are ones where the owner has never had the window and gutter cleaning done together, so the bundle is usually the first thing we bring up. Residential and commercial buildings get quoted from the same stories and window count, though this page is about houses. Regular cleanings keep the number lower than a first visit to a house that has gone years without one. To get your exact number, text the stories and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we come back with a figure before anything is booked. Riverhead jobs follow the same logic, so send the front-of-house photo and the window count and we will give you the number that fits your house.

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 in the area book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the season. What we find at each visit follows the leaf cycle, and across New York, nor'easters can shift the dates a little. Across New York, the spring visit usually falls late May to June, and our fall visit lands in November to early December.
In the spring visit we see a pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In the fall visit it is the leaf load, which turns into a wet mat in the runs if it is not cleared before the first hard freeze. Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line that hits the glass, need a third visit because needles, grit and mineral spotting keep building between cleanings. A run of clogged gutters that backs up in a wet fall can cause water damage at the fascia, so that one gets cleared first.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge during rain. If either of those shows up between visits, text us a photo and we will tell you which of the two it is. Keeping curb appeal up through both seasons is the reason most people book the pair.
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 have cleaned window and gutter cleaning jobs across Riverhead, and the easiest way to book is by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We call before we come, so you will know the crew is on the way. Lead time depends on the season, and we will give you the date when you book.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and the fall leaf drop. When our calendar fills, those are the weeks to book early, because the crew is working through the same residential properties with the same schedule each day. Professional window cleaning here means a water-fed pole and purified water, the same method on every visit. A clean set of gutters and clean windows is easier to plan when you book before the buildup starts.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew checks each window and sill as they go, and every residential window that can be reached from the ground or the ladder gets done. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will schedule service around your timing.
Yes, it is the same crew, and they do both in one visit. Gutters and downspouts get cleared first and the glass goes last, so the runoff from the roof never lands on clean windows.
There is no fixed figure we post for this, because the number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and condos are quoted the same way. Text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote you by text or phone.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime here: tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between cleanings. Cleaning the outside alone is a complete job on the glass the weather actually hits, and it helps remove dirt that rain only spreads around.
Across New York, most of our customers book in the spring and in the fall. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the nearest open date on the spot.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the water and debris from clogged gutters land on it, which is why the order matters.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our window washing services, and tracks are included as well. None of them are billed as extras on the invoice.
This visit covers the exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not pressure wash. Whether a job takes in interior and exterior glass changes the number, so we will tell you what we can and cannot do before we arrive.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
