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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crews do this across New York every spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 window and gutter cleaning by stories and approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and we will confirm it with a photo of the front of the house before we book the crew.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a steep roof that is not safe to walk takes a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. Oversized picture windows and tall multi-story glass take longer per pane, and window washing on a glass-heavy house takes longer than the pane count suggests. Each residential window is washed from outside, so the pane count sets the glass time more than the stories do. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down heavier, and the cleanings take longer when the downspouts are packed with grime and needles. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment, and no regular cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit and quote it on its own.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services, not billed as extras. The gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same pass, so they add nothing to the number. Our price covers exterior glass only, so the visit does not include interior and exterior glass together, and we do not pressure wash on this visit.
If you are not sure what your house will come to, think about three things: how many stories, how many windows and whether any of them are large picture windows, and how long it has been since the gutters were cleared. A house on a regular cleanings schedule, with gutters cleared every spring and fall, is usually the lightest job, because the runs are not packed. Send us a photo of the front of your house by text, tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will give you the exact number. Call (866) 435-6328 if you would rather talk it through.

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 Rome customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in late spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across New York the pattern is the same: spring and fall, with no place claim beyond that.
What we find at each spring visit is pollen. The pollen film sits on south-facing glass, and the pollen paste packs the gutters and elbows, so the first job is clearing it before the runs can flow. The fall visit is about leaves. The leaf load is heavy after the drop, and the wet mat sits in the gutters all winter if nobody clears it. Across New York, storm seasons, including nor'easters, can shift the dates on a house, so we book by when the gutters actually need it rather than on a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and those need a third trip with cleaning solutions made for hard water. Clogged gutters also let runoff spill over the lip and down the siding, so that is the first thing we check. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film faster than a quiet street. Multi-story buildings with hard-to-reach runs are often on the same shorter cycle. The same crew handles residential and commercial glass, and residential properties follow the same schedule.
Ice and snow are the other side of the calendar. In Rome the snow months run from late fall through early spring, so a fall visit that skips the gutters is how we see sagging runs by March. Clogged gutters freeze and pull hangers, and the water damage that follows sits in the fascia and the wall behind it.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Both are the signal to book.
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 gutters and exterior glass across the neighborhoods of Rome, including houses, townhouses and condos, and we work the same way on every street. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline, along with the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have. We will give you an estimate from that, and we call before we come.
Schedule service depends on the calendar. Our booking window fills fastest in late spring, when pollen is heavy, and again in late fall, when the leaf drop is done. Ask for a written estimate and we will hold a date once you confirm it, which keeps your window cleaning services on the calendar you want. Lead time is listed on your confirmation, and we do not promise a slot sooner than that.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. Our professional window cleaning crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends you photos of every run and every window before they leave. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit. Gutter cleaning services and window cleaners are on the same crew, which is why the visit runs in one trip. Every window that is reachable from the ground or from a boom lift gets done, and each sill is wiped. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, which is a common reason owners book both at once.
Yes. The same two people do both on a visit, and gutters come first. The roof gets blown clear, the gutters get cleared, and the downspouts get flushed before anyone touches the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the residential property, and we give it to you by phone or text at (866) 435-6328. We do not quote a range in writing without seeing the house.
On a Rome house, the outside of each residential window carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and that is the layer that has to be cleaned to remove dirt. Cleaning the windows inside does not stop any of it from building up.
Most of our Rome customers book in late spring after the pollen drop and again in late fall after the leaves are down. Across New York the same two seasons apply.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When we clear gutters and downspouts, the leaves and the black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the runoff has stopped.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. None of these is billed as a separate extra.
No. This visit is exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside and we do not pressure wash.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
