Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing drips back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Across New York we have found that spring and fall are the seasons when most homes need both, and we plan the visit around them.
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. Quotes cover window washing and gutter cleaning together, and that bundle costs less than booking the two separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes the setup. Window count and oversized panes change the time on the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, or clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and any water damage we find behind a run is noted and quoted on its own. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a separate treatment that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning the windows inside the house is not part of this price.
Across New York, the clearest way to get the exact number is to send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house by text. Quotes for professional window cleaning rely on the photo as much as the count, because a photo of the front shows the house's curb appeal, the sprinkler lines and any stretch of glass that needs a ladder. We have seen the quote change most when a house has heavy tree cover over the roof, so tell us about that when you call. Ask for a written estimate before we book, and we will put the number in writing. Call (866) 435-6328 to start.

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, the spring visit runs late May to June, and our fall visit for Ronkonkoma homes runs November to early December. Most residential properties we see need both jobs, so one crew doing the gutters and the glass in one visit saves a second trip on any residential window job. Our crews usually see the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters in the spring visit. The fall visit is about the leaf load and the storm and wind season that moves the dates each year, and it lands ahead of Ronkonkoma's snow months, which run from December through March.
Some homes need a third visit. We see that most often when there is heavy tree cover over the roof, when a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or when the house sits near a busy road or construction. Regular cleanings beyond the usual two suit those houses, because the glass and the gutters both pick up grime faster than the twice-a-year schedule can handle, and we would rather plan an extra pass than leave every window to one visit.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you which pattern your house is on.
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 work across the Ronkonkoma area and the neighborhoods of the city, and we can tell you quickly whether a slot is open. To schedule service, start with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a written number before we book. Lead time is listed on your confirmation, and we will not promise a day we cannot hold.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so booking early helps. Our crew calls before they arrive, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew starts with the gutters and downspouts, so the runs that can spill onto the panes are cleared first, and then works the glass to remove dirt from every pane. The crew does not come inside, and it does not need access to the interior of the house.
Commercial washing services, multi-story buildings, condos and multi-unit buildings are scheduled per building. Window cleaning services for condos follow the same process, with the grime and runoff from the upper floors planned into the route.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run back onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front, and we will quote it before we book. We quote residential and commercial jobs separately, since commercial work is scheduled per building.
Yes, the outside is where the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect. Our crews see that film most in spring, and the inside glass does not pick it up.
Most of our Ronkonkoma customers book in spring and fall, and our cleanings usually fall in those windows. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the months that fit your house.
Not on our jobs, because the gutters are cleared and the downspouts flushed before anyone touches the glass. Doing it in the wrong order means washing the windows twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side, and our crews choose the cleaning solutions for each pane based on what is on it. Picture windows take more time because the panes are larger, and we will tell you before the visit if anything needs more time.
Exterior only on this visit, so interior and exterior glass are two separate questions, and we only quote the outside here. We do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
No, 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, 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.
