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 dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and having both done in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of the homes we work on book this pairing in spring and fall, because that is when the pollen, the leaves and the grime build up on the same houses at the same time. Call (866) 435-6328 for a number based on your stories and window count.
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. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it does not change once the crew is on the ladder. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same ones every time. On a multi-story building, the ladder time goes up: a third story or a roof too steep to walk adds more. A high window count, or large picture windows that need a boom or scissor lift to reach, adds hours. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with seeds and leaf mat, take longer to hand-clear than a run that is kept up. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes is flagged on the visit rather than promised away.
Across New York we find that the owners of residential properties who get the most accurate number are the ones who text us the front of the house and tell us the stories. That is enough for a phone estimate, and it means the crew arrives knowing what it is walking into. Window washing and gutter work both carry the same logic: the more we know about the building before we arrive, the fewer surprises on the day.
Our crew does not run the job from a script. We sit down with the owner, look at the front and back of the building, and confirm the window count and the access before anyone commits. Washing services that quote without seeing the building tend to change the number at the door, and we would rather you hear it before work starts. Our window cleaning services and our gutter work are priced together so there is one number to approve, and the interior and exterior of each window is never part of the quote, since we only do the outside on this visit. Picture windows and tall frames are often the biggest line on a bundle quote, which is why we ask about them first.
If you have had a bad experience with grime that came back quickly, tell us when you call. Regular cleanings keep the glass and the gutters from getting to the point where the job takes twice as long. We will tell you on the estimate call how often we think your house needs them, based on what we see on the outside of your building.

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 twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on the calendar.
On the glass in spring we find a film of pollen on the south-facing panes, and in the gutters and downspouts the pollen turns to a paste that packs the elbows. In fall the window and gutter work is about the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs once the trees are bare. Storm and wind seasons move both dates a few weeks in either direction, so we confirm the window with you before we book.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit leave clogged gutters between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later no matter how well the pane was washed. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a fine dust that settles on the sills, and runoff from a steep roof carries more of it down the wall. For those houses we would rather plan three visits than explain why the glass looks worse by midsummer.
We keep the cleaning solutions on the truck light enough that nothing is left on the frame after the crew leaves, and we rinse the screens by hand. On houses with a lot of glass, the crew works from the same setup on each side of the building, which is why a bundle visit saves time over two separate jobs.
The sign that windows need a visit is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign gutters need one is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, instead of running out the downspout, because that spill can cause water damage at the fascia.
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 gutters and windows across the city, and our crew knows how the older blocks and the newer streets carry their water. When you call (866) 435-6328 or text to schedule service, we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and that is usually enough to give you a firm number on the same call. We count every window on the front and back of the house before we quote. Our booking is handled by the crew that will do the work, so the person who answers knows the building you are asking about.
Lead time depends on the season. In the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, our calendar fills, and the earlier you call the better your choice of date. Outside those windows there is usually room, and we will tell you the first open date on the call rather than guessing. Once we have a date we call before we come, and we confirm the arrival window the day before.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and the photos of each run go to your phone before the truck leaves. We do the work to the standard we would want on our own building, and we give you a chance to look at it with us before we pack up the ladders.
Our window cleaners and gutter crew handle the bundle on a single schedule. That is professional window cleaning done as one job, which is why we can offer one visit for both. If you manage several buildings, we can book them on one route, and we will keep the same crew on the same properties so the work is consistent from one visit to the next. Jobs for residential and commercial buildings are booked the same way, by phone or text.
Yes. Our crew does both the gutters and the outside of the windows, and it is the same two people on the ladder for both. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the glass is not washed twice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house or the condos, and we give it by phone or text. Send us the front of the house and the story count, and we will tell you the price on the call.
On our jobs the outside of each residential window carries most of what dirties it here: pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that hit the outside pane. The inside can stay as it is, and the outside still drives the curb appeal of the house from the street.
Across New York our customers book in spring and fall. The right date depends on your house, and we will tell you the first open date on the call.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters are cleared before the windows, the leaves, grit and black water have already come off the wall before anyone touches the panes.
Screens are rinsed by hand and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks packed with grit are included in the window work, and it can take extra time to remove dirt from a deep track, which we tell you on the call.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only, and windows inside the house stay as they are. We do not pressure wash the siding or the walls.
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.
