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 in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Most of our Valley Stream customers book in the spring and fall, and we've been doing this work on the same schedule since we started.
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. Booking gutters and window washing in one visit costs less than two separate trips with two different window cleaners, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or 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 professional window cleaning on our jobs and are not billed as extras. The price covers the outside only, so windows inside stay out of the quote. Where a boom or scissor lift is needed to reach a run, we say so before the visit.
On a Valley Stream job, the quote changes most with how the house is laid out: a roofline that runs close to the glass, clogged gutters that have already caused water damage to the fascia, and multi-story buildings where the upper panes need a lift. We look at those before we give a number. Clean glass and gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, so we ask which side of the house the street sees first. For a house like yours, the fastest way to get an exact figure is to tell us the stories, estimate the window count, and text one photo of the front of the house. Once we have that, we send the written estimate and hold the slot if you want it.

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 Valley Stream customers book these cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen drop and once in the fall after the leaves come down, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on this calendar. Across New York, spring visits usually fall in late May to June, and fall visits here run November to early December. At each visit we find the same things. The pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters in the spring. In the fall it is the leaf load and the wet leaf mat that blocks the downspouts before the first freeze. Across New York, nor'easters can move the dates a little, so we keep the schedule flexible.
Some houses need more than the two regular cleanings a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts faster than two cleanings a year can keep up with. A sprinkler line that hits a residential window leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on every window sill and frame. We see these on our jobs and we talk about them on the first visit.
You will know the windows need attention when a haze shows up that clean windows would not have, mostly when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign means it is time to schedule service.
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 washing services cover gutters and downspouts across Valley Stream, including the residential properties and the condos where the outside glass gets the most grime from road runoff. Our window cleaning services cover the exterior glass on that same visit. Booking starts with a phone call or a text: we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the date and the time window before the crew leaves the yard. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew uses the same gear to remove dirt from the glass and the gutter runs.
Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year fill first. When the spring and fall calendars are full, we will tell you the next open date rather than promise a slot we cannot hold. Outside those windows the calendar is looser, so it is worth asking early to schedule service.
Yes, it is the same crew. Our two people do the gutters first and the glass second in one visit, and the glass is done with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are needed.
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 written estimate.
On our Valley Stream jobs the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks worse from the street than from inside. Clearing the outside is the part that shows. Regular cleanings keep that film from building up between visits.
Most of our Valley Stream customers book in the spring after the pollen drop and in the fall after the leaves come down. This page covers residential properties. For a commercial or mixed-use building, call (866) 435-6328 and we will say whether the crew can take it before you book.
No. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing from the roof runs onto the panes we have already done.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job. We rinse the screens and wipe the sills and tracks, and we do not bill them as extras. Picture windows get the same pole work as the rest of the glass.
We clean the glass on the outside only on this visit, not interior and exterior glass together. We do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not do pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if 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.
