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 the grit from the roof never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when the glass is dirtiest and the gutters are packed.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our washing services are quoted that way for houses and condos alike. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, whether you need only the gutters, only the outside glass, or both, because our window cleaning services and gutter work share one quote.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same every time. A third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high count of small panes both add time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years are packed with grime, needles, seeds and leaves, and those take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the gutters and downspouts can be flushed. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning and needs a separate treatment, which we quote after we see it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Clearing the gutters first is how we remove dirt before it reaches the glass.
Across New York, we ask for the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. That is enough for us to tell you the number before anyone climbs. Window washing on a house this size uses the same ladder setup whether it is booked alone or with the gutters. If the gutters are skipped, runoff from the roof carries grime straight down onto the glass. If the crew finds something different on the day, such as a clogged downspout running into a buried drain or a sill with water damage, they photograph it and tell you before doing anything extra.
To get your number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.

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 Watertown customers book both gutter and window cleaning twice a year as regular cleanings, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Booking the window and gutter work together means the glass gets done after the roof debris is cleared, not before.
In the spring, what we find on the glass is pollen. A yellow film sits on south-facing panes, and the gutters hold pollen paste that washes down the wall in the first rains. In the fall, the leaf load is the main job, and the wet mat in the runs is what sags hangers under ice. Across New York, nor'easters can shift the dates, so if a storm has just passed we would rather schedule you after the debris settles than before.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those are the signs of a third visit. A house close to a busy road or active construction picks up more grime and needs cleanings more often. Most houses with few trees and no sprinkler problems do well with one visit a year in late fall, and we tell you which group your house falls into after the first visit.
You will know the windows need it when you see haze only in low sun. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a heavy rain.
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 cleaning services cover gutters and exterior windows across Watertown, and we keep the calendar open for the busy windows of the year. Every window we can reach from the outside gets cleaned. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house front. We estimate by the number of stories, and lead time varies by season, so we give you the earliest date we can hold when we quote you.
Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows, late spring and late fall, when the spring buildup and the leaf loads are heaviest. If you can book outside those windows, you usually get an earlier date. We run professional window cleaning on the same ladder setup as the gutter work, so one visit covers both. Our window cleaners carry purified water and pole systems, which is how we reach upper floors without a ladder against the siding. The glass gets purified water, and cleaning solutions are used only on frames and sills. We handle multi-story buildings with the same pole and lift setup, and the story count sets the quote. Clean glass and gutters also do a lot for curb appeal on a Watertown house.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come and again when we are on the way. Clogged gutters and water damage from them are the problems we see most often on houses we did not clean in a year or more, and we photograph them in the report so you can decide what to do.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both. For residential window work we clean the gutters first and the glass last, so debris from the roof does not run back onto clean windows.
For residential properties, the number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before we visit. Residential and commercial jobs are quoted the same way. We do not quote a price range here, because the exact figure depends on your house.
On a Watertown house, the outside collects tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots between visits. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and cleaning only the inside leaves that film on the glass you look through.
Across New York, spring visits run late May to June, and fall visits run October to early November, after the leaves come down. Booking outside those windows is possible if you call early.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, the grit from the gutters runs down the wall and across the panes, so the order keeps clean windows clean.
Screens, sills and frames are included on every window we reach from outside. Tracks are wiped during the same visit.
We clean the outside of the glass only on this visit. Windows inside are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
