Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book us in the spring and the fall, and we keep the same crew on the job from the first ladder to the last pane.
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.
Most window cleaners quote by the stories and the glass area, and our number comes from those same two things: how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows face the outside. Booking gutter cleaning and window washing in one visit is less than booking the two separately, and we will show you the bundle figure before anyone climbs a ladder. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras we bill later. Windows inside the house are not part of this quote, because professional window cleaning on this visit covers the outside only.
On our jobs the quote moves for a few reasons we can see from the driveway. A third story or a steep roof means more time on a boom or scissor lift. Oversized picture windows and tall multi-story buildings take longer to reach. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and grit, need more hand clearing before any water runs through them. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning, so we tell you about it up front.
Here is how we get you the exact number. Text us a photo of the front of the house, tell us the stories, and give us a rough window count. Most of our Tonawanda Town customers get the estimate that way in a few minutes, and we confirm it in writing before we book. Clogged gutters that have sat through a winter often show water damage on the fascia, which we photograph and report, so you know what you are looking at. Ask for a written estimate and we will send it the same day. Clean glass and clear runs do the most for curb appeal, and that is the part you see from the street.
| 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 cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In the spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In the fall we find the wet leaf mat and the grit that the first snow would otherwise freeze into the runs.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and once the glass is clean, those spots are what most often undo the work. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster than the rest of the block. We schedule service around those cases once we have seen the lot.
You will know a residential window needs cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during a rain. Regular cleanings in spring and fall keep that haze from building up between visits, and clean windows stay clean longer when the runs above them are clear. Our crew checks every window and every gutter run on each visit and tells you what it finds before we leave.
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 clean gutters and exterior glass across Tonawanda Town and the surrounding area, and the crew has worked most of the residential streets in the town. Booking starts with a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. From there we set a date, and the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, fill faster than the rest of the calendar, so it pays to book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We take residential and commercial work, and the same crew handles residential properties and small condos on the same schedule. Our washing services cover the outside of the glass and the gutters and downspouts as one job, so you get one bill and one visit. Runoff from a clogged run is one of the first things we clear, because it is the thing that carries grime onto the siding below.
When the calendar is tight, we tell you the next open date instead of guessing. Our window cleaning services follow the same rule: call, and we give you the next open date. We will remove dirt from the frame and the sill on the same visit, so you do not have to schedule a second crew to finish the glass. We do not clean interior and exterior glass on the same visit, so this quote covers the outside only.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and we clean the glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions. We do the gutters first, then the glass, so nothing runs back onto clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a figure before the crew comes out.
Usually the outside is what carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so it makes the biggest difference to how the house looks from the street.
Across New York most of our customers book in the spring and the fall, and we fill the calendar in those windows.
No. We clear the runs and flush the downspouts first, then wait a few minutes before we touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. We do not bill them as extras.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, and 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, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 if you want to book a date.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
