Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and we always do the gutters first and the glass last. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New York, most of our regular customers book this in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice.
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, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our washing services for gutters and glass are quoted as one number. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it covers downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping, which are part of the job and never billed as extras. Some customers ask about interior and exterior glass together, and this visit covers the exterior only.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes how we work the house. Window count and oversized panes change the time on the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and the crew checks the runs for water damage while clearing them. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something no regular cleaning removes, so we flag it on the visit rather than charge you for scrubbing it. Heavy grime that has baked on over a season takes longer per window, which we say before we start, so the effort it takes to remove dirt is never a surprise.
Getting an exact number is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with the number of stories and a rough window count. For window washing and window cleaning services on a typical home, we can usually work from those three things alone. Across New York, the houses we see most often are the ones where a steady routine keeps grime from building up on picture windows and in the gutters between visits, and those regular cleanings are what keep the job short when it comes round again.

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 of our customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Our spring visit runs late May to June, and the fall visit runs from November to early December. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits on the runs after the trees drop. The schedule works the same for residential and commercial buildings. Storms and wind seasons, including the nor'easters that hit across New York, can shift those dates, so we book from what the house needs, not from the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after we clean. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames. Taller houses and multi-story buildings need a longer setup on the upper runs and glass, so those get a third visit more often. These are the cases where we suggest a third visit, and we explain why on the first one.
You will see the sign windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Clogged gutters show up as water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Haze on the windows inside the house is a different problem and not part of this visit. Our cleaning solutions are chosen for the glass, and the frames and sills get the same care.
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 works across West Hempstead, and our cleaning services cover the whole city rather than only the blocks near one route. Booking is simple: you call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm number before anything is scheduled. We look at every window on the house before we give that number, not just the ones at the front. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year fill first, so ask early if you want a particular week. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew is the same two people from start to finish, and that is the point of booking one team for both gutters and glass. Plenty of window cleaners only do glass, which means a second trip for the gutters. With us, the professional window cleaning and the gutter clearing happen on one visit, and the same care goes into each sill. Whether you are a homeowner who wants a clean roofline and clear curb appeal before a party, or a manager of residential properties with several buildings, we set one schedule and keep to it. Once you have a standing date, we can schedule service for the same week each season so the job never catches you off guard.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit. The gutters and downspouts get cleared first, and the glass is never dirtied again by runoff from the runs above it.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and the residential window count is the starting point. We give it to you by phone or text before we book, and there is no guessing on the invoice. If the building is a condo, tell us the number of units when you call and we will quote from that.
For most houses, yes. The outside collects pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and rain alone will not remove dirt that has dried on the glass.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we will tell you which window fits your house once we see it.
Not if we do it in the right order. Gutters first, glass last, so the runs are clear and the wall has stopped dripping before anyone touches the window.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. We do not treat them as add-ons.
Not on this visit. We clean the outside of the glass only, and we do not pressure wash on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
