Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this bundle in spring and fall, and we give the number on the phone that we charge on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 to get yours.
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.
The direct answer is this: we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, a single visit that does both jobs costs less than two separate bookings, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs, the things that change the quote are predictable. A third story or a steep roof we cannot walk adds time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and panes that need a lift take longer than standard sashes. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive packed with needles and leaves, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate problem that no window cleaning removes, and we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
On a Scotchtown house, the first question we ask is how many stories it has and roughly how many windows face the street. A photo of the front of the house sent by text lets us check both before we talk numbers. Our window washing services on a typical job are the same crew going from the gutter run to the glass, and the window cleaning services we bundle with gutters are where the single visit earns its keep. We treat the interior and exterior as different jobs, and this quote covers only the exterior. We have seen a two-story house with a lot of grime on the south side and picture windows come in higher than a neighbor with smaller panes, and the difference was the glass, not the gutters. Our regular cleanings on repeat customers are quoted from the same count, so the second visit should match the first unless the house changed.
| 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 residential and commercial customers book gutters and windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both.
In spring, what we find on the glass is a pollen film on south-facing panes and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall, the leaf load and the wet mat in the channel turn into clogged gutters that hold water against the wall. A gutter left clogged through freezing weather can hold that water until it becomes water damage at the fascia and soffit. Storm and wind seasons move those dates a little, and we adjust the booking to match what the house actually carries.
Multi-story buildings are one common reason for a third visit, since the upper glass takes longer to reach. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loading between cycles. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up a fine dust that settles on the frames. These are the cases where we suggest a third pass rather than leaving the glass to look worse each season.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Dirt on the windows inside is a separate question, since our visit covers only the outside.
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 works across New York, and we book by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the estimate and a date. Lead time is set by the calendar that week, and the two busy windows of the year are when the leaf loads peak, so book early if you want a specific morning.
We use professional window cleaning equipment, water-fed poles and purified water, which means the glass dries without the streaks a squeegee leaves behind. Frames that carry grime get a cleaning solution, and the glass itself gets purified water. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we call again when the truck is on the way, so you are not waiting at a window for a crew that is still across town.
Schedule service with us and the crew works the gutters first, then the glass, then the sills, so every window gets the same attention whether it is a small kitchen pane or a row of upper-story sashes. Clean glass and gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and the whole job fits in one visit. We stick with cleaning services we can finish in one visit, and we tell you before we start if a house needs more time than the quote covered.
Yes. The crew that cleans your gutters is the crew that cleans the outside of your windows, in one visit. We do the gutters first so the runoff does not end up on the glass. The same order works on condos and other residential properties.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. The figure we quote is the figure on the invoice.
On our jobs, the outside carries the grime, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those build up on the glass long before the inside gets dirty. Cleaning the outside alone is a normal job for us, and it is the fastest way to remove dirt the rain leaves on the glass.
Across New York most of our customers book in spring and in fall, when the leaf loads are heaviest. Booking in one of those windows keeps the residential window work on schedule.
Not if the gutters are done first. When the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, they run across any window below. Gutters first, glass last keeps that water off the panes you are paying us to clean.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job, and gutters and downspouts are flushed in the same visit. We do not bill them as extras on the invoice.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass and we do not do pressure washing, so the price covers the outside of the windows and the gutters.
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 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.
