Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one 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, our crews book most of these visits in spring and fall, and the numbers we quote on the phone are the numbers we invoice.
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 the window and gutter job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the 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, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work it out from there.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that is slow to reach, a window count with picture windows, whose large single panes take longer to do properly, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles, leaves and pollen, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning solutions will lift. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across New York, the houses that take the longest are the ones with the most glass and the least access, and that is why we ask about both before we quote. Homeowners who want the exact figure can send the story count and a rough window count, and we will tell you what the job includes before we book anything. We price residential and commercial jobs separately, and a residential window job is quoted by stories and window count. Interior and exterior glass is quoted as a separate job, since the standard visit covers the outside. For regular cleanings on a schedule, we set the interval with you on the first visit and keep to it.
| 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, the usual pattern is two visits a year: the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and the fall visit in late October to November. One crew doing both jobs in one visit fits that schedule. Windows inside the house are a separate booking, so these visits cover the outside.
What we find on the glass in spring is the pollen film on the south-facing panes and a paste of pollen in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load, which packs the downspout elbows and turns to a wet mat in the troughs, and clogged gutters that stay that way into a wet season can lead to water damage at the eave. Storms and nor'easters across New York move the dates a few weeks in either direction, and we book around them rather than against them.
Some houses, and multi-story buildings in particular, need a third visit as we see them: heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits; a sprinkler line hitting the glass, where the spots come back a day after cleaning; and a house close to a busy road or active construction, where dust settles faster than on a quiet street.
Window cleaners who only do the glass will not see what the gutters are doing above it, and a crew that does both will. Professional window cleaning services that include the gutters catch the runoff before it reaches the glass. Clean glass does a lot for curb appeal, and you will know windows need cleaning when the haze shows only in low sun, while gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain.
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 serves Spring Valley and the area around it. Window and gutter cleaning services are booked by phone or text once we have the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time is set by the calendar at the time you call, and the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, are when our schedule fills first.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we keep to the window we give you. We clean residential properties and condos, and the process is the same for each: we look at the building, agree the scope and schedule service for the dates that suit you. Clean windows do a lot for curb appeal, so we clean every window we are asked to and check the sill and the frame on each one before we move on.
Yes. Our window cleaning services cover gutters too, and the same two people do both, gutters first, so the runoff does not reach clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the figure before anything is booked.
On our jobs, the outside collects the grime from pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass looks hazy from the street even when the inside is clean.
Across New York, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, so those are the windows to plan around.
No. Gutters first, glass last: we clear the gutters and downspouts, flush the runoff out, and remove dirt from the troughs before any window is touched.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the bundle visit when they are reachable from outside.
Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so we clean the outside only. Pressure washing is a separate job, and the washing services on this visit cover exterior glass only, with pressure washing quoted separately if you ask.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
