Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not hit by the runoff from the roof. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. On our Selden jobs, most customers book this in the spring and in the fall, when the leaves and the sap are at their worst. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
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. Doing gutters and windows in one visit costs less than booking the two cleanings separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. This page prices houses, so a residential and commercial property is quoted on the call. The crew uses purified water, so no cleaning solutions go on the glass. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large window count or oversized picture windows, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned 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. Gutters clogged with pollen paste cost more time than a light load of leaves.
On one Selden job, the quote rose because the house had three stories, the gutters had not been opened in several seasons, and the glass carried sprinkler spotting along the south side. Those three things were visible from the driveway, and we confirmed them on the first visit. To get an exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have. We will give you the number on the phone, and that is the number on the invoice.
| 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 gutters and windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for each season. On our Selden jobs, the spring visit is after the seed drop, and the fall visit is after the last leaves fall and before the first hard frost.
In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a sticky mat of needles in the gutters. In fall we find the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs and the grit that washes down the wall beneath. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we book the visit once we have seen the house. Across New York, nor'easters can send water over clogged gutters and cause water damage on the wall below.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass than the average house. On those houses, regular cleanings three or four times a year keep the glass and the gutters in good shape. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass take longer, so plan on a longer slot.
You will know the windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout. Clean glass and gutters also keep curb appeal up between visits.
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 book window and gutter cleaning for residential properties across Selden, and we do the outside of each window in the same visit. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give you a number on the phone and then call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and that is when professional window cleaning books up. Book early in those months and we can usually find a slot in the same month. Outside those windows, lead time depends on the crew's schedule that week, and we will tell you the date on the call.
Every window gets the same treatment, from the ground floor to the top of the house, and the crew cleans the sill under each one. Each residential window gets the same care, and the crew cleans the sill under each one. If you want a window done that is not on the list, tell us when you book so we can plan the lift for it.
Yes, our window washing services and gutter work happen in one visit, so one truck and one team cover the gutters and the outside of the glass. We do the gutters first and the windows last.
We give a number on the phone or by text once we know the stories and the approximate size of the house. We do not quote a figure without that information, because the number comes from those two things.
On a Selden house, the outside carries a spring film of dust, rain dust in winter and sprinkler spots that build up over the year. The inside can be clean while the outside is still dirty, and clean windows start with the outside glass, where a cleaning removes dirt that has built up.
On our Selden jobs, most customers book in the spring after the seed drop and in the fall after the leaves fall. Across New York the spring and fall visits follow the same pattern, so book whichever is nearest.
No, because we do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. When a gutter is cleared, the leaves, the grit and the black water come down the wall and across any window below it, so the glass has to be done after the gutter.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job, and the crew rinses each screen and wipes each sill as it goes. Those items are not billed as extras.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside the house are not included. We do not 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 the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in one of several condos in a building, check whether the gutters are shared before you book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
