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 runs back down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New York, most of our customers book this twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, and it is the same crew each time.
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. Doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. The water we use is purified, so there are no cleaning solutions to rinse off the glass. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate before anyone books a date.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones you would expect. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and tall glass take more care. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is another one: cleaning removes the dirt, but it will not remove the mineral marks, and we tell you that before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. This page prices homes only, so a residential and commercial building gets its own quote, and interior and exterior glass is a separate job we will price when you ask.
Most of our Yorktown customers ask us what their gutter and window cleaning will cost before they ask anything else, so here is how we answer. We look at the house from the front and ask how many stories it has and roughly how many windows are on the outside. A photo of the front of the house is usually enough to confirm both. The point is to get an exact number before the crew drives over, not to surprise you with one on the day. Pollen collects on the glass and in the gutters every spring, and it sticks, so the first visit of the year is often the one where a regular cleanings schedule starts to make sense. We walk you through what your lot needs and what it can wait on.
| 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 customers book both twice a year, once in late May to June and again in late October or November. In Yorktown, that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our jobs, the spring visit is when we find a film of pollen on south-facing glass and sticky paste packed into the elbows of the downspouts. The fall visit is when the leaf mat has settled and the clogged gutters are wet and heavy.
Storms and wind move the dates. Nor'easters across New York can strip leaves early or leave the gutters full of grit, and we would rather see a house after a hard blow than wait for the next scheduled slot. Our cleaning services adjust the dates when the weather does.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that most often under heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and where a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house on a busy road or near construction also tends to need more frequent glass work. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder, so a three-story house is often a longer visit than a ranch. Our professional window cleaning crew checks these homes at each visit and tells you when a third trip is worth it.
You will usually notice when windows need attention before anyone tells you. Haze shows up when the sun is low in the afternoon, and clean glass does more for curb appeal than most owners expect. Gutters tell you when they are overdue because water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Snow sits in clogged gutters from December through April, and the water that backs up under the shingles when those gutters freeze can cause water damage that costs far more than a cleaning.
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 clean the outside of residential properties across Yorktown, and the crew works the same way on every street. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, where we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text that photo, and we will give you a date. The lead time for a slot is listed on our scheduling page, and it changes with the season. The two busiest windows of the year are the spring bloom period and the fall leaf drop, which is when our calendar fills fastest, so the earlier you call, the better your chance at the date you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we will not start on the glass until the gutters are done.
For window and gutter cleaning, we handle each job on its own terms: the gutters are cleared and flushed, the outside of every window is cleaned, and the sills are wiped down. Each residential window on the outside of the house gets the same clean, and our crew checks every window on the outside and tells you about any that cannot be reached safely.
Yes. Our own crew clears the gutters and downspouts and cleans the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the wet black water from running back down onto clean panes.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text before the visit.
On the houses we clean in Yorktown, the outside carries most of the grime: spring dust, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. Inside glass is a separate job, and our window cleaning services cover the outside, where most of the buildup sits.
Across New York, late spring and late fall are the busy windows for both jobs. If you own a unit in one of the condos near you, check whether the outside glass belongs to the association before you book.
Not if the order is right. Runoff from the gutters is what streaks the glass, so we clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Our washing services include tracks when they can be reached from the outside.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, since interior and exterior glass are separate jobs. We do not clean windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing here. The exterior visit is where we remove dirt that has built up over the season.
No, 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 while the 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.
