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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most homeowners book this work in spring and fall, and we set the schedule around that.
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 residential properties for gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking both in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge on the invoice.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roof pitches, window count and oversized panes, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years or that are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how a West Babylon quote usually comes together. The crew asks how many stories the house has, counts every window on each side, and looks at what is sitting in the gutters. A photo of the front of the house texted to us lets us confirm the count before the visit, so there are no surprises when the crew pulls up. Stories and window count set the base, and the state of the gutters decides whether one flush is enough or whether a run needs a second pass.
One customer in West Babylon had a two-story house with a tree line along the back and a long run of gutter that had gone several seasons without a clean. Pollen and grit had packed the elbows, and the sprinkler on the side of the house had left spots on the picture windows facing it. Once we confirmed the stories and the glass count from the photo, the quote came down to those two things. You can read the full job here: [supplied case link].
If you want the exact number, send us the stories, the approximate window count and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328. We will come back with a written figure, and the crew will do the work for that figure. Pollen, cleaning solutions and the difference between residential and commercial jobs are not extra line items; professional window cleaning is priced once, up front, the same way every time. The quote covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work never shows up on the same invoice.
Many of our regular cleanings in West Babylon start with a single visit to bring the glass and gutters back to a clean baseline. From there, the frequency is set by what the house needs, not by a sales plan.
| 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.
Across New York, most homeowners book gutter and window cleaning services twice a year, in spring and in fall, which keeps curb appeal steady through the year and makes sense for one crew doing both jobs in one visit.
In spring, a yellow film of tree dust settles on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as a paste. In fall, the leaf load comes down in wet mats that hold water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can shift those dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or multi-story buildings near a busy road or active construction tend to need more frequent attention. Those are the cases where the same two cleanings a year do not keep up.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters tell you when they need it too: water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout, and left alone, that sheeting can turn into water damage.
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 handles residential window and gutter cleaning across West Babylon, and we book residential properties one at a time, so the calendar is never a blur. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or start with a text estimate: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count before a slot is set. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the next open date when you call.
The two busy windows of the year follow the spring dust and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills fastest. Booking early in those stretches gets you a slot that fits your schedule. We call before we come, so nobody is standing on the driveway wondering when the truck will arrive.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and what you need to do before the visit is covered in the FAQ below.
Yes. We offer window cleaning services and gutter cleaning, and the same two people do both in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps dirty gutter water from running across clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us the story count and a photo of the front, and we will quote the exact figure before the crew is scheduled.
On a West Babylon house, the outside gathers rain dust and sprinkler spots between visits, and cleaning the outside is how you remove dirt that shows from the street. Clean outside glass with a dirty interior still shows the exterior grime, so the outside is where the visible difference comes from.
Homeowners and condos in West Babylon usually book in late spring and again in late fall, timed around leaf drop. Booking earlier in those windows gets you a slot that fits your schedule.
No. Runoff from a dirty gutter is what carries grit onto clean glass. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then do the glass. That order is the reason the same crew does both jobs in one visit.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the visit when they are reachable from the exterior.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so we do not clean windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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.
