The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across New York we have done this work every spring and fall, and it is the setup our crew runs on every job.
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.
Our window cleaners price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and windows 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.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window counts that run high with oversized panes, gutters nobody has opened in years and 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, while windows inside the house are not part of the quote at all.
To get your exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories. Window washing and the gutter run are scoped from that photo before anyone books a day. Our crews notice clogged gutters that have been left a season too long, because the water damage that follows shows up on the siding below before anyone sees it. For multi-story buildings we walk the full roofline first and quote every run. Professional window cleaning means the glass gets done with purified water and a pole, and the curb appeal of the house is the reason most people book it. Call (866) 435-6328 for a written estimate.

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.
Most of our Southold customers book both twice a year, in the spring and the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Spring is when the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and tree seed packs the gutters. Fall is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs through winter.
On our jobs the spring and fall visits set the calendar, but wind and storm seasons can move the dates by a few weeks. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road usually need a third visit. The spots that come back a day after cleaning are almost always sprinkler spotting.
Residential properties and small commercial buildings follow the same rhythm, and a residential window on a south wall picks up the film first. Clean windows show what the season has done to the house, and regular cleanings keep the job one visit long. We put the cleaning services on the calendar when you book, so the crew knows which houses have every window and sill on the list. Text a photo of the roofline and we will schedule service for the next open slot.
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 exterior glass across the Southold area for residential and commercial buildings. Booking starts with an estimate. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us, and give us the stories and a photo of the house front. We schedule against the real calendar and tell you the lead time at the time you book.
The two busy windows are the spring and fall visit months, when our calendar fills with washing services and gutter runs. If you call in those weeks, expect the wait to be longer. Outside those windows the crew can usually fit the job sooner.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew handles the window cleaning services and the gutters and downspouts from outside. The grime and runoff from the roof are cleared as part of the job, and we remove dirt from the sill and frame so nothing is left to streak. Picture windows get done from the pole, not a ladder. Condos with shared roof runs get the same visit order as a single house.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the grit from the runs does not end up on clean windows.
We give the number by phone or text, based on stories and size. There is no set figure for a house we have not seen. Text a photo of the front and the stories and we will quote it.
Usually, yes. On our jobs the outside carries the grit, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the interior and exterior of the house look different once the glass is done. Our visit covers the exterior only.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down. Those are the two visits that cover the year.
Not on our jobs, because we do gutters first and glass last. Water from the runs drips down the wall, so we let it stop before we touch the glass.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the exterior glass visit and are not billed as extras. Purified water does the work on the glass, and any cleaning solutions for the frames are part of the same visit.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing here, and we say so on the estimate.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
