Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so the glass is not dirtied twice. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when the leaf load and grit are heaviest.
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 on each residential window job, and multi-story buildings are quoted by the same method. Booking gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you 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, window count and oversized picture windows, 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, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how we get you the exact number. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a rough window count, plus one photo of the front of the house, and we will return a quote before we book a date. Most regular cleanings we do are quoted this way, and the window washing, washing services and window cleaning services we include stay in the same figure, so you do not get a second line item for them. If you want interior and exterior glass done, that is not part of this visit, but we can tell you what the exterior alone will cost.
| 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 customers book gutters and windows twice a year, in spring from late May to June and again in fall, October to early November. On our Saratoga Springs jobs we see the pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters after the spring drop, and the wet leaf mat that builds up in gutters and downspouts after the fall drop. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs on the same calendar.
Under heavy tree cover, a house with trees over the roof sees more debris between visits, and some of our customers come back three or four times a year. Houses with a sprinkler line hitting the glass need a third visit, because the spots come back a day later. A house near a busy road or construction work collects more grime on the glass and needs the same treatment. Most of our customers do not need that schedule, and after the first visit we tell you which one your house actually needs.
Window haze shows up when the sun is low, and you only notice it in the evening. Clogged gutters give themselves away when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout, and that spill is how water damage starts on the wall below. Those are the two signs we look for.
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 gutters and exterior windows across Saratoga Springs, and we count every window on the house before quoting, so booking works the same way for every house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with your number of stories, and we give you a number before we schedule anything. Lead time is shown when you book. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you are not waiting on a truck at the curb.
In the two busy windows of the year, when the leaves are heaviest, our calendar fills faster than usual. Booking early in those months gives you a better slot. Our cleaning services stay the same whether you have one house or a set of residential properties, and the quote method is the same for residential and commercial exteriors. The cleaning solutions we use are picked for the glass on the day. Our window cleaners follow the same professional window cleaning routine on every house, so you get consistent results from one visit to the next. For a clean outside that holds up through the season, we can schedule service on a regular date and keep the curb appeal steady.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, and they work gutters first, glass last. That order keeps the glass from being dirtied twice.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and condos are quoted from those same two numbers. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it before we book.
Yes, the outside carries rain dust, tree dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, and the crew can remove dirt from the outside in one pass. On our jobs the outside of the glass is usually the part that needs the work first.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, after the spring and fall drops. Book early in those windows, because the calendar fills.
No, because the crew does gutters first and glass last. Leaves, grit and black runoff come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are part of the exterior visit. None of that is billed as an extra line.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing on this visit.
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 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.
