Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of each residential window in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the gutters ends up on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Across New York, most of our customers book this twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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 price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle costs less than two separate trips. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we give you the number before the crew is booked, and the number we give is the number we charge.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Every window on the house adds time at the glass, and oversized panes add more. Gutters and downspouts packed with needles and leaves, or not opened in years, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are priced separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Condos get the same quote method: stories and approximate window count.
For the exact number, text a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows face the street. Across New York, that is how we get to a firm quote. Window washing on this visit is exterior only, and the washing services are scheduled around the gutter run so the glass goes last. Grime on the glass and the runoff from the roof are both cleaned in the same pass, and we remove dirt from the frames too rather than leaving it to streak.
| 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.
Most of our customers book both twice a year, in the spring and in the fall after the leaves come down. Across New York, that is when the gutters and the glass need it most. In the spring we find a dusty film of pollen on south-facing glass and a mat of tree seed packed into the gutters. In the fall the wet leaf mat is the main problem, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sag under ice by late winter.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass. These are the cases where we suggest a third visit based on what we find on the first.
Windows need a visit when you see haze only when the sun is low. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in the rain. Our cleanings are scheduled as regular cleanings so the window and gutter work stays on the same calendar. We work with residential and commercial properties on the same schedule, and the interior and exterior glass are handled as separate jobs. Picture windows take the same pass as the rest of the glass, with the sill and frame cleaned in the same visit. Cleaning solutions are used only on the glass, and the gutters are cleared with water.
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 the Sullivan area, and the neighborhoods we have cleaned are the ones we name when you call. To schedule service, start with an estimate by phone or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we call before we come. The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills then. Booking early in those windows keeps your slot.
We are one of the window cleaning services that handles the glass and the gutters in the same visit, and we are one of several professional window cleaning crews in the area. Our window cleaners work outside only, and the curb appeal of the house is part of why the gutters go first. Clogged gutters are the main cause of water damage on the walls below them, so we clear them before the glass, which keeps the clean windows below from streaking. On multi-story buildings and larger residential properties we set up the boom or scissor lift for the upper runs and the windows in the same pass.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not come inside.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the gutters lands on the clean panes.
We do not give a figure on a page. The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328 before the crew is booked.
On our jobs, the outside carries spring dust and tree seed, the rain dust, and the spots from sprinklers. Those build up on the glass even when the inside is clean, so the outside needs its own visit.
Many of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall. Across New York, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. Text a photo of the roofline if you want a date set.
No. We clear the gutters, flush every downspout, and let the wall stop dripping before anyone touches the glass. Gutters first, glass last is the order on every job.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the window job. None of that is billed as an extra. Frames are cleaned in the same pass.
Not on this visit. Our crew cleans the outside glass only, and pressure washing is not part of this visit. Cleaning the windows inside is a separate job if you need it.
No, 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
