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 runs back onto clean panes. 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 of our customers book the work in spring and fall, once the pollen has settled and once the leaves are down, because those are the two points in the year when the outside of a house collects the 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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutter cleaning and window washing in one visit costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge when we are done. What moves it on our jobs is the same list every time: a third story or a roof steep enough that we set up from the ground, a count that includes picture windows, which take longer to reach from the ground, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Gutter cleaning is not a single flat task. The leaves and grit come out, the downspouts get flushed until the water runs clear, and the runs get checked for sag. Our washing services cover the outside glass only, using a water-fed pole and purified water so the glass dries without spots. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the exterior. Our regular cleanings are priced by what is on the house that day, not by a set bundle, so the number matches the work you actually see.
Here is what the quote usually comes down to on a West Haverstraw house. Call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and the approximate window count, and text a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to give you a figure on the phone. If your gutters have not been cleaned in a while, say so when you call, because a run full of seed and grit takes longer than one cleaned last fall, and the quote should reflect that before the crew gets on the ladder.
| 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 here, residential and commercial alike, book the window and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across New York, the spring visit lands in late May or June, after the seed drop is finished. On our West Haverstraw jobs, the fall visit lands in late October or November, after the last leaves are down and before the first hard freeze.
At each visit we see different things. In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and a paste of seed and needles packed into the elbows of the downspouts. In fall the wet leaf mat that has settled over the gutter runs turns into clogged gutters, and the grit washes into the bottom of the windowsills. The method stays the same at each visit: a water-fed pole and purified water, with cleaning solutions only where the grime calls for them. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little from year to year, so we book by the house, not the calendar. Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line that hits the glass, often need a third visit, because the needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings and the sprinkler spots come back a day after we leave. A third story or multi-story buildings take longer on the pole, so those visits are booked as longer jobs. A house near a busy road or a construction site is the same story: more grime on the glass, so the spring and fall pattern shifts toward more frequent cleanings.
The signs tell you when you need the work sooner. For the outside glass, it is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. For gutters, it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, instead of running down the downspout, and that often comes before water damage shows up at the fascia. Either sign means the schedule you have is already behind your house. A haze on the windows inside is not part of this visit.
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 work across West Haverstraw with a crew that moves between houses on the same route. Booking starts with an estimate: call (866) 435-6328 or send a text, tell us the number of stories, and send a photo of the house front. We will tell you the number on the phone, and that number is the number on the invoice. Lead time depends on the season, and it stretches in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills with the window cleaning services most homes here book. Book early in those windows if you want a particular day.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside the house. Once the schedule is set, we send a text the day before with an arrival window, and photos of every run and every pane go to you before the truck leaves. For customers who want the work done the same way every visit, the schedule service lets us keep the same crew on the same house, and the record of each visit goes into the same file.
Our window cleaners work from the ground and from a pole, so the outside of every window gets the same attention, from the first floor up to the top story. We clean every window we can reach from the outside, and we tell you about the ones we cannot reach before we set up, not after. That is part of the professional window cleaning we do, and it is what keeps the curb appeal of the house consistent from one visit to the next.
Yes. On our jobs the same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters and downspouts go first, glass last, so the runoff from the gutters does not end up on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, the same way for every residential property we work. Send us a text with the stories, the approximate window count and a photo of the front, and we will give you the number on the phone.
On a residential window in West Haverstraw, the outside carries most of the film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. The inside can look fine while the outside still looks hazy, and the outside is the part this visit covers.
Most of our West Haverstraw customers, houses and condos alike, book in late spring and again in late fall. Across New York the same pattern holds, with spring and fall as the two visits most homes need.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When we clear a run, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the crew can remove dirt from the gutters before any pane is touched.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the exterior visit where they can be reached from outside.
We do not clean the inside of windows or do pressure washing on this visit. The work covers the exterior glass only.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
