Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. 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. Most of our Astoria customers book it for the spring and fall cleanings, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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 professional window cleaning by stories and approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, what moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Picture windows and other oversized panes add time at the glass, and a high window count adds more. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more work before the flush, and a clogged run left alone can lead to water damage on the fascia below. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are quoted before the visit. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, and cleaning solutions alone will not remove it, so we tell you about it before we start.
Window washing on the glass, downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our Astoria jobs show how much the details matter. One customer had heavy grime built up on the upper glass and clogged gutters after several seasons without service, and the quote reflected the extra time on the ladder. We set the number from what we saw on the house, with a photo, before the crew arrived. To get your exact number, send us the number of stories, your approximate window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text.

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 Astoria customers book regular cleanings in late spring and again in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for these cleaning services.
In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass, and sap and needles pack the gutters. In fall, the leaf load comes down and the wet leaf mat fills the runs before winter. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction all leave more residue on residential properties than an open lot does. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning on any residential window in the sprinkler's path, and a third visit keeps the clean windows from going cloudy.
Clean glass and clear gutters are most of your curb appeal from the street, and a dirty front shows first. You will know the windows need attention when a haze shows on every window facing the sun, and it only shows when the light is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain.
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 gutters and windows across Astoria. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate at (866) 435-6328. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the number before we set a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when the leaf loads peak and our calendar fills first. Book early in those windows and you can schedule service for the slot you want. Lead time depends on the season and the schedule, and we confirm the date when you call.
Our service covers the washing services and window cleaning services a homeowner needs in one trip, from gutters and downspouts down to the sill. Grime and runoff from the roof end up on the glass below, which is why we run the gutters before the windows. We remove dirt where it sits and do not leave it on the sill. Condos and multi-story buildings get the same routine, one crew and one visit.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters does not end up on clean glass.
We do not quote a fixed number here, because it comes from the stories, the approximate window count and what is in the gutters. Send those by text or call (866) 435-6328 and we give you the number before we set a date.
Yes. The outside takes dust, rain spots and sprinkler spots, and those build up on the glass between visits no matter how the inside looks.
This page covers houses. For residential and commercial properties, send a photo and we tell you whether the same gutter and window routine fits.
Not on our jobs. We do gutters first and glass last, so the leaves, grit and black water come down before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, and we tell you about any damage before we start.
We are exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Text us a photo of the roofline 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.
