Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We work gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the roof never lands on panes we have already finished. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Clean glass also does more for curb appeal than most owners expect. Our crew has done this work across New York, and most of our customers book it in the spring and in the fall. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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.
The price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and window and gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and the window count and we will quote it before the crew is scheduled.
Several things move the quote once our crew sees the house. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs mean more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift for the upper runs. Window count and oversized picture windows change the time on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are quoted before the visit. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not removed by cleaning, and we tell you about it on the day. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
The gutters and the exterior glass both use the same cleaning solutions on the ladder, so the bundle is one setup on each side of the house. Quotes for residential and commercial jobs start the same way, with the stories, the window count and one photo of the front. The bundle covers the outside only, so interior and exterior glass are quoted as separate jobs. On our West Islip jobs, the houses with the most trees or the most window glass have the biggest gap between a gutter-only quote and a bundle quote, because one visit covers both. Ask for the price on a two-story house with a clear photo of the front, and we will tell you which of the window and gutter items drive the number on your lot.
Send us the stories, the approximate window count and one photo of the front of the house by text, and we will return the quote before the crew is scheduled. Nothing is added after the crew leaves that was not in that quote.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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 West Islip customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across New York, the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and our fall visit falls in November to early December. Two visits a year covers the seasonal load on most houses here.
In the spring the pollen film sits on the south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters and downspout elbows. Across New York, nor'easters bring the heaviest runoff, so clogged gutters should be cleared before the storm season, or water damage starts at the fascia. In the fall the leaf load lands in the gutters, and a visit that falls after the last leaves drop catches the most debris.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit packing the downspouts between regular cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings and houses near a busy road get grime on the glass faster than a quiet street, so they are the ones booked for a third visit.
Haze you only see when the sun is low means a professional window cleaning visit is due, and dull glass hurts curb appeal long before anyone looks at the windows inside. Many owners wash the glass inside first and still see a dim view, because the grime is on the outside. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Both show up between visits, and the crew checks both on the next booking.
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 have cleaned gutters and exterior windows across West Islip, and the crew works the whole town rather than one street at a time. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and one photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the estimate and the lead time for your slot. Some window cleaners only do the glass, but our washing services clear the gutters and downspouts before any glass is touched. The two busy windows are the spring and fall pollen and leaf seasons, and the calendar fills quickly in those weeks.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside and does not come inside. The residential properties we clean get the same order of work: gutters first, glass last, with every window on the outside done and each sill wiped down. The goal is clean windows on every floor, and a residential window with a spot the crew cannot lift gets flagged on the day.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and condos are quoted the same way. We give it by phone or text before any work is scheduled.
On our jobs the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and a clean inside cannot remove dirt that sits on the outer pane.
Most of our West Islip customers book in the spring and in the fall, after the seed and pollen drop and after the last leaves fall.
No, because gutters come first and glass last, so the runoff hits windows that have not been cleaned yet.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras.
Not on this visit. Our washing services cover the exterior glass only, and pressure washing is not part of the job.
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 the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
