Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the 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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew books most of its spring and fall work here, so the order of work is one we repeat on the same kinds of houses every season. Call (866) 435-6328 and we give you a number from 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 window and gutter 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, as long as the stories and window count you gave us are right.
On the day, the crew finds a few things that move the quote. A steep roof or a third story means more set-up time. Oversized panes and picture windows take more care on the ladder. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years come out packed with needles and leaves, and guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is something no cleaning removes. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Schodack jobs the quote usually comes down to the same few things we just listed. For an exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and about how many windows you have. We use the cleaning solutions we would use on any exterior glass, and the residential and commercial work we do follows the same order. Most of our customers book a regular cleanings schedule once they see how much a single visit clears, though that choice is yours. If a count looks off from the photo, we call before we start.
| 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.
On our Schodack jobs, most of our customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Cleaning services for gutters and windows tend to fall on the same dates because the spring dust and the leaves come down on the same schedule.
In the spring visit we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed into the gutters. In the fall visit it is the leaf load that matters, a wet mat that sits in the runs and backs up at the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates by a few weeks, so we confirm the day with you when we call.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings and houses near a busy road collect grime faster than the glass can stay clear. We look at each of these on the first visit and tell you whether your house is one of them.
The sign windows need a cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign gutters need one is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, which is usually the first thing a homeowner notices, and it is how water damage starts on the fascia and siding if nobody clears the runs. Both are easier to catch in the season than after a winter of ice.
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 window cleaning services cover residential window and gutter cleaning across Schodack and the houses around it, and a slot usually opens within the week. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a number from those. The estimate needs no visit: we work it from the photo and the count you give us, then confirm it before a crew is sent.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does the job from outside and does not come inside. We call before we come, and we call again when the truck is on the way. The busy windows are late spring and late fall, when spring dust and leaves bring in the most calls, so if you want a particular day, book earlier in those months. Our calendar fills then, and the earlier request gets the slot.
We clean residential properties, condos included, and clean windows on the outside, and we schedule service on the days the weather allows. Every window on the front and back of the house is included, and the sill below each one is wiped as part of the job. If a pane sits over a sunroom roof or behind a branch, the crew photographs it and tells you before going further.
Yes. Our washing services for the gutters and the outside of the windows are done by the same two people in one visit. We do the gutters first so the runoff and grime from the runs never land on the glass.
We do not quote a figure without knowing the house. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and you get it by phone or text before anything is booked.
On the outside here the glass carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those are what hide the view from the street and dull the curb appeal. Professional window cleaning on the outside is what clears them, while cleaning the inside alone leaves all of that in place.
Our customers here book in late spring, after the spring dust settles, and in the fall, after the leaves come down.
No. Gutters come first and the glass last, so the water, grit and runoff from the runs have already drained before anyone touches a window. The crew also rinses the glass to remove dirt before it dries.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house, and interior and exterior work is quoted as separate jobs. We do not do pressure washing here.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
