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 the dirty water from the roof never lands on clean panes. We price the bundle by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Hudson jobs most customers book us in the spring and fall, which is when the leaves build up and clogged gutters start to overflow. Tell us your stories and a rough window count, and we give you the number on the phone.
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 window washing and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Our washing services and the gutter work on the same house are priced together, so the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that nobody has opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, and gutter guards that we have to lift and reseat before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate case: cleaning does not remove it, so we flag it on the first visit. Most of the cost is the time the crew spends on the ladder, which is why we ask about stories first. Houses that get regular cleanings carry less grime on the glass between visits, and that cuts the time on each pane.
Our Hudson experience shows the exact number comes from a photo of the front of the house and a quick count of stories and windows. Text us that photo and we will tell you what the visit will look like before we book it. A property that is smaller and lower to the ground takes less time than one with a steep roof and several levels, and the quote reflects that difference. We do residential and commercial work, and condos and multi-story buildings get the same photo-based estimate.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Hudson customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In the spring the glass carries a pollen film on the south side, and the gutters hold pollen paste that the rain does not wash out. In the fall it is the leaf load that matters: wet leaves pack the gutters and downspouts before the first freeze, and that is how clogged gutters start.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots, and the runoff from it can streak the sill and frame below. Multi-story buildings near a busy road or a construction site collect more dust on the frames, and our crew uses purified water rather than cleaning solutions, which is enough to remove dirt in one pass. On those houses we come back more often, and we tell you why after the first visit. Water that runs over a clogged gutter can cause water damage to the wall below, which is why we flag it.
You will notice when the windows need attention because the haze shows up when the sun is low. You will notice the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Those are the signs our crew looks for, and if you see them between visits, send us a photo and we will tell you what it is.
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 worked across Hudson on residential window jobs and on residential properties of all sizes, and the crew knows the lots and the access on most streets. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your number of stories. We give you a quote by phone or text, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so the earlier you ask for a slot the better your chances. A quote now lets you hold a date before those busy windows fill, and clean gutters and glass keep your curb appeal up. Our crew works with professional window cleaning standards on every job, and every window gets the same attention whether it is a small pane or a picture window.
Our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning run on the same schedule, so you do not need to plan two separate visits. Ask us to schedule service for both at once and the crew handles the gutters first and the glass last. If you want a written estimate before you book, ask for one and we send it the same day we get your photo.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people in the same visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so the dirty water never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we tell you the number before we book.
Yes, because the outside takes most of the damage here. Rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outer glass, and the inside usually stays clean on its own, so interior and exterior glass do not need the same schedule.
Most of our Hudson customers book in the spring and the fall. Those are the two windows when the seasonal dust and the leaves build up, and booking early keeps your date.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. Once the gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed, the wall has a few minutes to drip before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, so they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the exterior work where we can reach them.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, so the windows inside the house are not part of the visit, and we do not do pressure washing on this job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
