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 dirty lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Across New York, most of our repeat customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when the glass and the gutters both need it most.
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. Professional window cleaning booked as a bundle, gutters and exterior glass in one visit, costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Window washing of the glass and the gutter run share one crew and one setup. Many window cleaners quote glass and gutters separately, so ask for both numbers together. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside are not part of this price, since we clean exterior glass only.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs, the window count and any 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. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder and changes the setup, so we note it before we give the number. Clean glass and clear gutters do the most for curb appeal, and that is the part a neighbor notices first.
Across New York, the easiest way to get an exact number is to tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house by text. We will tell you the price for both jobs before anyone is scheduled. Houses with heavy tree cover and clogged gutters, or years of build-up, are the ones where water damage from overflow has already started at the fascia, so we check those runs first and report what we see.

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.
Across New York, most customers book both jobs twice a year, and the spring visit runs late May to June while the fall visit runs late October to November. One crew can handle both cleaning services in one visit, which keeps the calendar simple. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters. In fall the leaf load is what we clear first. Storm season, which means nor'easters across New York, can move the dates, so we book around the weather rather than the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction all leave a film that comes back faster than the seasonal schedule. Every window on the sprinkler side gets the same spotting, sill and frame included, so we check every window on that side, not just the ones you can see from the street. The spots that return a day after cleaning are almost always sprinkler spotting, and regular cleanings will not remove them.
You will know the glass needs work when a residential window looks hazy only when the sun is low, and you will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout. Both are easy to check from the ground. Clean windows and clear gutters are worth a call to schedule service before the next 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 crew cleans gutters and downspouts and exterior windows for residential properties, including condos and multi-story buildings in and around the city. Our washing services and our window cleaning services run on the same visit, so the glass and the gutter run go on one estimate. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a written estimate for the bundle. Call (866) 435-6328 to book. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen drop and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills during both. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early. The grime from spring pollen and fall leaves runs off the roof and down the wall, so the gutters go first. We aim to keep the process simple: one estimate, one visit, one set of photos of every gutter run and the finished glass, and the invoice matches the number we quoted. The runoff from the gutters is cleared before we touch the panes, which is how we remove dirt from the glass without carrying it back up.
Yes. Our crew does both jobs in one visit for residential and commercial buildings, gutters first and glass last, so the work is done in the order that keeps the glass clean.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text before any work is booked.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here: pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the exterior glass. Those are the things a cleaning removes, and cleaning solutions alone will not lift sprinkler spots.
Across New York our customers book in spring and fall, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down. The spring visit runs late May to June and the fall visit runs late October to November, and many homes need both cleanings each year.
No. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the runoff from the gutters is cleared before we touch the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Picture windows are cleaned from the outside on the same visit, and tracks are included on the standard visit.
This visit covers exterior glass only. We do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
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, and unlock any side gate. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of your roofline to book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
