Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of every residential window in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Connecticut, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, after the seasonal drop-off that loads the gutters and dulls the glass.
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, and a bundled visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give for our washing services on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-ons appearing at the door.
Houses and condos are priced on the same two numbers, and what moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more ladder and boom or scissor lift time. A large count of oversized panes, such as picture windows, takes longer than the same square footage in small windows. A run of gutters and downspouts not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, takes longer to clear, and gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a job we did at a home in Ansonia, the quote came down to the stories, the window count and a run of gutters that had gone several seasons without clearing. Clearing the packed runs and flushing every downspout before the glass was washed kept the runoff off the clean panes. You can see that job in its own words through its link. To get your exact figure on window cleaning services, send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will come back with a figure. Water runoff from a clogged run is the first thing we check, because it is what damages siding and trim, and it is one of the reasons a gutter that looks clear from the ground can still need a full clearing. Remove dirt from the glass only after the gutters are clear, so the grime does not come back down on it.
| 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 Connecticut, most residential and commercial customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew doing the window and gutter work in a single visit makes sense. On our Ansonia jobs the calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, and the pattern follows the seasons.
At the spring visit we find pollen. A pollen film sits on south-facing glass, a sticky paste builds up in the gutters, and both come off more easily before summer heat sets them. Plain water lifts most of it, so cleaning solutions only come out for the stubborn film. At the fall visit the leaf load is the main thing we clear, and a wet leaf mat is what sags a gutter run under the first ice. Across Connecticut, a strong nor'easter season can push a fall visit later than planned.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, so those customers are on every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a visit scheduled around the watering. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a dusty film faster than the rest. Most homes need neither, and do well with the two regular cleanings.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, or a film that catches the light across the whole pane. Gutters tell you too, with water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. When you see either one, that is the time to call, not the end of the season.
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 has cleaned gutters and exterior windows on residential properties across Ansonia, and we book from the first phone call or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you a time window for the estimate. Lead time depends on the season and on how many jobs are already on the calendar, and we tell you the real date when you call rather than promising one we cannot keep.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and that is when cleaning services fill fastest. We are one of the window cleaners you can book for the bundle, and we keep the work to professional window cleaning on the outside of the glass. Clean glass in a busy season is a matter of timing, so we schedule the gutters first and the windows after. Ask about the slots that open up after a cancellation, since those are often the quickest. Outside glass and gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and the bundle gets both done in one trip.
We call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not go inside. We do not pressure wash, and we do not clean the windows inside; the job is the outside glass and the gutters, on one visit. Left alone, clogged gutters overflow onto the siding and into the foundation, and that is how a small cleaning job turns into water damage. Multi-story buildings and tall houses take longer to set up for, so those get booked with extra time.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We do this on our own jobs and do not hand either part to a subcontractor.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, not from a fixed rate. Send us those by text or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the figure before we come, the same figure we charge.
Yes, it is worth it. On our jobs the outside of the glass gathers rain dust, sprinkler spots and a fine film of spring dust, and that grime shows through even when the inside is washed. Our crew cleans every window on the outside in the same visit, which is how you end up with clean windows from both sides of the pane.
Across Connecticut, most of our customers book in spring and fall. On our Ansonia jobs the spring visit clears the buildup and the fall visit clears leaves, and those are the two windows to plan around. To schedule service, text us the month you want and we will name the first open day.
No, because we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, then let the wall drip dry before we touch the glass. Doing it in the other order is how grime ends up back on a freshly cleaned pane.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the glass or do pressure washing, and interior and exterior work is quoted separately if you need it.
No, 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 while 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.
