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 as two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book it in spring and fall, which is why one crew doing both makes sense.
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 window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. What moves that number on our jobs is the stories and any steep roof, the window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened 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. Pricing for residential and commercial buildings is not covered on this page, which is about homes.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and the cleaning solutions the crew uses are not billed as extras. On a house with an interior and exterior window plan, we only do the outside glass on this visit, so the quote covers that. Regular cleanings use the same count, so a repeat quote starts from the same numbers. The crew will tell you on the phone if your picture windows or a large set of panes will take more time than the count suggests.
Most of the work comes down to how many stories and how many windows, and we want the exact number before anyone climbs. Text us a photo of the front of the house and the story count, and we will come back with the quote and a schedule. Ask for the written estimate before you book, and we send it the same day, before any professional window cleaning is scheduled.
| 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 book regular cleanings for both gutters and windows twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit fits the way people use their house. Across New York, the same pattern holds: pollen in spring and falling leaves in fall are what the crew finds on the glass and in the gutters at each visit.
In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. In fall, it is the leaf load and the wet mat that builds up in the runs. Multi-story buildings under heavy tree cover, with needles and grit packing the downspouts between visits, often need a third visit. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grime than one set back from it.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low, and a rinse of the frames is the quickest way to remove dirt before it sets. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Clean glass also does more for curb appeal than most owners expect. Clogged gutters that are left over a season can start to show water damage on the fascia, so it is worth booking before that happens.
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 window cleaning services cover the exterior glass of every residential window and the gutters and downspouts of residential properties across Wantagh. We clean windows for homeowners who want both done in one visit. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories. Most homes get a window and gutter cleaning slot with the same estimate, and we call before we come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and our cleaning services are scheduled around your calendar. If you live in a condo, text us the count of exposed windows on your unit and the story count of the building. The crew cleans every window reachable from the ground or the pole, including the sill, and does the gutter runs from the ladder. When the calendar fills in the busy spring and fall windows, we book by date, so ask for the slot you want as early as you can.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, and we do the gutters first and the glass last so the runoff does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and the story count, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the figure before anyone is booked.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. The inside does not get those, so the outside is where the grime builds up here.
Most of our Wantagh customers book in spring and fall. Across New York, spring visits usually land in late May to June, and fall visits run November to early December, so booking ahead keeps your date open.
Not if we run the job in order. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves and grit come down before anyone washes the windows below them.
Our washing services cover screens, sills and tracks as part of the exterior job, so there is nothing extra to add to the quote.
We clean the outside glass only on this visit. Windows inside are not part of the visit, and we do not pressure wash on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
