Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. Pricing is set by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when leaves and tree debris are heaviest on the house.
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 a request for interior and exterior work gets its own separate quote. Booking the gutters and the windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, 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 for a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high number of panes add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line does not come off with cleaning, and we say so on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Pollen is one of the reasons the spring visit takes longer than the fall one. It settles as a film on the glass and as a paste in the gutters. Our cleaning solutions are chosen for the glass and the gutter material, so the crew does not need a second pass to get the film off. Residential and commercial buildings both get the same written estimate, based on what we see from the ground and from the ladder.
For an exact number, text the stories, the approximate window count and one photo of the front of the house. Most of our estimates come back the same day, and the number holds on the invoice. Regular cleanings are priced from that same estimate, so a repeat visit does not start from zero.

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.
On our Van Buren jobs, most customers book both twice a year, in the late spring month and the fall month, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. We do not bill the second trip separately when both jobs are booked together. Our cleaning services are scheduled around those two windows, because that is when the gutters and the glass both carry the most load.
What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In spring a film sits on south-facing glass and a paste packs the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load is heavy and wet, and the downspouts clog first at the bends. Storm and wind seasons move the dates by a few weeks, so we confirm the day with you before the crew comes out.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between visits, and we see clogged gutters on those houses a few months after a clean, which is how water damage gets started at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster on the lower panes. Multi-story buildings and heavily shaded houses are the ones our professional window cleaning crews schedule on a three or four month cycle, and we say so after the first visit.
Clean glass does the most for curb appeal, and you will know windows need cleaning when the haze shows up only at low sun, late in the day. Dust on windows inside the house has a different source than the outside glass, so a clean exterior will not change it. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in 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.
Our crew cleans residential properties and small commercial buildings across Van Buren, and we keep a steady route through the streets we already know. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a written estimate. Once you approve it, we schedule service for the first open day in the route, and the crew calls before it arrives.
The two busy windows of the year fill the calendar faster. Late spring and early fall are when most window and gutter cleaning requests come in, so book early if you have a fixed date in mind. Off-season slots open up more often, and we can usually fit a residential window job into a short gap in the route.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works from the outside of the house and does not come inside, so you can leave the side gate unlocked. We text photos of every gutter run and of the clean windows before the truck leaves, and we confirm that every window on the estimate was done.
Yes. The same two people handle our washing services for the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We do this on our own schedule, not as a subcontract, so the work is done by the crew you booked.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, quoted by phone or text. Our window cleaning services price condos and houses the same way, and we do not give a figure in writing without that information, because a two-story house with large panes takes longer than one with small windows.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the load here: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass in a few months. Cleaning the inside will not remove dirt that sits on the outside of the pane, so the outside is the part that changes how the house looks.
Across New York, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when leaves and tree debris are heaviest on the house. Booking in one of those windows gets you the earliest open slot.
No. Runoff from the gutters is what carries grime onto the glass below, so we clear the gutters and downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. Working the other way round means someone has to wash the windows a second time before the crew leaves.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job. They are not billed as extras, and we note anything we could not reach safely in the photos.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only and do not do interior windows or pressure washing on the same booking. If you want those, ask for a separate quote.
No, 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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
