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 both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book it in the spring and again in the fall.
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 the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our cleaning services for the gutters and the glass are quoted as one number, and that number is the one we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work from that.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized picture windows, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years and are 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.
Both residential and commercial jobs are priced the same way: by the building, the stories and what the gutters are holding. For multi-story buildings, the stories count is the first number we ask for, and a window and gutter cleaning quote comes in writing before the crew is booked. Homeowners with regular cleanings on a schedule often find the same visit covers both the glass and the gutters, which keeps the number predictable from one year to the next.
Hard water and pollen add a step. Spring film on the glass usually comes off in one pass, but a sprinkler line that hits the windows leaves mineral rings, and cleaning solutions will not lift those, so we quote a separate treatment after the crew has seen it. Call (866) 435-6328 before booking if you already know about either problem.

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 in Utica book both jobs twice a year, once in late spring and once in early fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on that schedule. Across New York, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June.
In spring we find a film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall, the wet leaf mat and the grit that washes down the wall whenever it rains are what we find. June, July and October are the wettest months here, and that rain runoff carries grit down the wall. Across New York, nor'easters move the dates, and when they do we call before we come.
Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, end up needing a third visit. The spots that return a day after cleaning are the sign of the sprinkler problem, and the grit that packs the downspouts between visits is what brings the crew back under the trees. Gutters left full of grit between visits can also lead to water damage at the fascia, so the third visit is worth booking.
You will see when the windows need it: a haze that shows only when the sun is low, and rain that no longer removes dirt from the glass. You will see when the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 book by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a slot and a window for the visit. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. In the two busy windows of the year, when the dust and leaves are heaviest, our calendar fills, so we advise booking early.
We clean residential properties, and every residential window we can reach from the outside is part of a window and gutter cleaning visit. Our window cleaning services also cover gutters and downspouts on the same trip. Before we leave, we check every window for streaks. A sill that holds grit gets wiped as part of the job, not left for later.
Clean windows and clear gutters both get checked before the crew leaves. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house, and we will confirm the date.
Yes. Our professional window cleaning and gutter work is done in one visit by the same two people. Gutters and downspouts are cleared first and the glass is done last, so nothing dirty from the roof lands on clean glass.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before the visit. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and the number is set before the crew arrives.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here: spring film, rain runoff, and sprinkler spots that dry onto the glass. Rain alone does not remove dirt that has dried on, and interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, so cleaning the inside does not touch any of that.
Across New York most of our customers book in spring and again in fall. Book early for either window, because those are the months the leaves and dust are heaviest.
No, because the gutters are cleared before the glass is touched. When clogged gutters are cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass is done last to stay clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Our washing services include tracks when they are reachable from the outside.
Our window cleaning services cover the exterior glass only. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, 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. Owners of condos can send the building's stories count and we quote from that. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
