Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the debris from the gutters never lands on clean glass. Clearing the gutters and downspouts comes first, then the window cleaning services on the outside, and that keeps curb appeal sharp. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall, and for a quote call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
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 of cleaning services done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, oversized picture windows that take more time per pane, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which cleaning solutions do not remove and which we flag on the visit rather than charge for in the dark.
Our crew works outside only on this visit, so windows inside and pressure washing are not part of the number. When you compare quotes, check whether a figure includes interior and exterior glass, because ours covers only the outside. Text us a photo of the front of the house, tell us how many stories it is, and give a rough count of windows; that is enough for a firm quote. Our residential and commercial crews use the same method for regular cleanings, so the process is the same whether it is a single-family house or a multi-story building.
Companies that price by the foot of gutter run land in a similar place, but the stories and the window count drive the figure on our jobs, and that is what we tell you before we book. For a regular schedule the cleanings get quoted once and held, so the second visit does not start from zero.
| 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.
Across New York most of our customers book both gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. The spring visit clears the seed and tree debris that packs the downspout elbows and leaves a yellow film on south-facing glass. The fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before it freezes into the gutter and starts to sag the hangers.
What we find at the spring visit is pollen paste in the gutters and a film of grime on the outside of the glass that rain alone does not remove. In the fall it is the leaf load, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs that have pulled away from the fascia by winter, and water damage at the fascia is the usual next step. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we call before we book rather than working to a fixed calendar.
Some houses and multi-story buildings need a third visit as we see them: heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits; a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning; or a house close to a busy road or a construction site. Professional window cleaning on those houses is a more frequent job, not a bigger one.
You will see windows need cleaning sooner than the calendar says when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and rain alone will not remove dirt from it. You will see gutters need cleaning when runoff sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Either one is a reason to call us before the next scheduled visit.
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 cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and we book residential window and gutter cleaning at residential properties in Roosevelt on one schedule, so clean windows and clean gutters arrive together. You get an estimate by calling (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count when we call back. Lead time is set by the calendar, and we give you the first open slot when we book.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills faster in those weeks. If you want a slot in either, get the estimate before the first warm week or before the trees start to turn. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way and nobody has to wait at the curb.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. You can schedule service by phone or text, and we confirm the time window the day before. Every window and every run gets photographed before and after, so you have a record of what the grime was and what came off.
Yes, our window cleaning services and the gutter work come from the same two people in the same visit. We start with the gutters and finish on the glass, so the debris from the gutters never lands on windows we have just cleaned.
We do not give a figure in writing; the number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we quote it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house, or of the condo building if you live in one, and we will call back with the figure.
On our Roosevelt jobs the outside carries most of what spoils the view: pollen in spring, grime and rain dust, and sprinkler spots that dry on the glass. The inside can be fine while the outside is hazy, so the outside is usually the first thing we clean.
Across New York most of our customers book in spring and fall, after the spring rush and after the leaves come down. Book before the busy weeks and the calendar is easier.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the debris from the gutters runs down the wall and across the windows that were just cleaned, so we do not work that way.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our washing services on the outside cover them as we go: we rinse the screens, wipe the sills and clean the tracks.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this bundle.
You do not need to be home, because our crew works outside and does not come inside. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, 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.
