Yes, 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 the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New York, most of our work with homeowners is in the spring and fall, when leaves and grime are heaviest on the house and on the glass.
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 stories and approximate window count, and the bundled visit is cheaper than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, worked out from the house itself. Residential and commercial buildings are quoted the same way, by stories and window count.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof we have to work from a boom or scissor lift to reach, oversized panes and picture windows that take more time per pane, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must 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.
The window and gutter work is done as one job, so you pay for one setup instead of two. We quote the exterior only, and interior and exterior glass are never priced as one job on this visit. For a house with a lot of glass, the cleanings are scheduled around the glass and the runs, not the other way around. Regular cleanings are booked on a set calendar, so the crew can plan the ladder work ahead. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text, tell us the stories and roughly how many windows, and we will give you the exact number before anyone books a date. Keep the cleaning solutions and the rinse water on the outside of the house, where they belong.
| 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 homeowners book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the downspouts, and fall is when the leaf load comes down and the wet mat clogs the runs before winter. Professional window cleaning in fall clears the leaf film before the first hard freeze.
On our jobs, the cleaning services that need a third visit are the ones with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or a house near a busy road or construction. Multi-story buildings take longer because each floor is its own setup, and clogged gutters in fall often need a second look once the runs are clear. Where freeze risk is real, water held in a clogged run can freeze, push toward the wall and start water damage. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we check the forecast before we set a slot.
Most of the window cleaners we talk to tell a similar story, but what we find on the glass is what matters for your house. A pane that looks fine from the driveway can show a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and that haze is the sign windows need it. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Across New York, spring visits run late May to June, and clean glass shows the most curb appeal then.
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.
Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you the number on the phone and the first open date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside.
We clean the window and gutter cleaning jobs on residential properties and on the clean windows that go with them, and we schedule service around the two busy windows of the year, when leaves and seasonal grime fill the calendar. Our window cleaning services cover each residential window on the outside, and the crew clears the gutters and downspouts before any glass is touched. The price covers the exterior only, so windows inside are not part of this visit. Lead time is set by the current schedule and is confirmed on the call. Every window on the house is quoted and cleaned on the exterior side, and the sill is wiped as part of the visit.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning run as one visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes.
We do not give a figure in writing, because the number comes from stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we will give you the exact number.
Usually yes on the outside alone, since the outside carries the dust, grime and sprinkler spots that build up here. The inside is a separate question and we do not clean it on this visit.
Across New York, most homeowners book in spring and fall. Those are the two seasons when leaves and grime are heaviest on the house, so the calendar fills then.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. Once the gutters and downspouts are clear, the runoff has stopped and the wall has dried, we start on the windows.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the bundled price when they are reachable from the outside.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, on houses and condos alike. Our washing services stop at the exterior glass, so we do not clean interior glass and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
