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 customers book it in the spring and fall, and we keep the calendar for those windows.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate count of residential windows. Booked together in one visit, the two services cost less than two separate trips, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are the ones the crew finds when it arrives. A third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift changes the setup. A high window count, and oversized picture windows that need a longer pole, add time. Heavy grime on the sills or in the gutter runs adds time too. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and we check gutters and downspouts on every visit. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are counted in the quote. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is a separate issue that no cleaning removes, and we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is what we want from you before we give a number: the stories, a rough count of windows, and a photo of the front of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text that photo, and we will book a date once the three things are in. Those three things get you an exact figure without a site visit. The window washing and washing services we do are scoped the same way, so the quote covers the full exterior pass.
The point of pricing this way is that the number does not change once the crew is on the ladder. Before the glass is touched, the crew will remove dirt from the frames and sills, and that is part of the quote. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and this visit covers the exterior only. Many customers with regular cleanings on the same schedule find that the picture windows and the gutter runs get the same attention each time, which keeps the quote steady year to year.
| 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.
Most of our customers in Vestal book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on a yearly calendar.
In the spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and sticky tree residue packed into the gutters and elbows. Fall brings the leaf load, and the wet leaf mat is the first thing we clear when we open a run. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed day. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction usually means a third visit, and we say so after the first look rather than up front.
Clogged gutters that go uncleared for a full year can start to show water damage at the fascia, and the cleanings are what keep that from starting. Rain runoff over a clogged run also washes grit down onto the glass below it. Multi-story buildings, residential and commercial alike, take a little longer per visit, which is why the scheduling is by stories and not by a flat calendar date.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down 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 have cleaned gutters and windows across the Vestal area, and we work residential properties around the town on the same schedule. Booking starts with a call or a text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm quote and a date.
Lead time depends on how full the calendar is that week, and we tell you the date when you call rather than guessing. The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen period and the fall leaf drop, and that is when the schedule fills first, so booking early in those months gets you a slot. We do not promise same-day or next-day service; we give you the first open date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside without coming in. Our window cleaners work from the outside with a pole system, and our professional window cleaning covers every window on the exterior so nothing gets left out. Our window cleaning services also keep curb appeal consistent through the year, and on the glass the crew uses purified water, with cleaning solutions added only where the grime is heavier than water can lift. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text, and we will confirm the stories and the sill heights before we book the crew.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, and the same two people handle the gutters and the exterior glass. We do the gutters first and the windows last, so nothing dirty runs back onto the clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Send us the stories and a photo of the front, and the quote you get is the one we invoice.
Usually yes, because a residential window takes the tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spotting from outside. The inside can look fine while the exterior glass is hazy when the sun is low.
Across New York most customers book in the spring and fall, and in Vestal the calendar fills in spring and during the fall leaf drop. Condos and houses are booked the same way. Booking early in those months gets you a slot.
No. We clear the gutters first, flush the downspouts, and let the wall stop dripping before we touch the glass. Doing the glass first is the reason windows get dirty again within minutes of a run being cleared.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included on the exterior side.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only. The windows inside the house are not part of this service, and we do not do pressure washing either.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
