Yes, the same two people clean the 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 both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Most of our Meriden customers book it in the spring and in the fall, and that is when the crew is busiest, so the sooner you call, the sooner we can set a day.
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, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work it out with you before anything is scheduled.
Several things move the quote, and most of them show up only when the crew is on the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer per run. Oversized picture windows and tall panes cost more per pane than standard sash. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more time to clear and more water to flush through every downspout. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned under them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate matter: it is etched into the glass and cleaning will not remove it, so we flag it on the visit rather than promising it away.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. On our Meriden jobs we find that the window count is the number customers are least sure of, so a quick count from the outside when you text the photo saves a callback. Regular cleanings keep the bill steady, because gutters and downspouts cleaned on every visit hold less built-up grit than a run left alone for a year.
For an exact figure, text us the number of stories, the rough window count, and one photo of the front of the house, and we will reply with a number you can plan around. We reply with a written estimate and a date we can hold. The glass is done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so the price covers the labor and the visit. This quote covers exterior glass only; if you ask about interior and exterior work on the same window, we will tell you on the phone which part we can do. If the house has heavy tree cover or a sprinkler line that reaches the glass, tell us then so we can plan the visit accordingly. Ask for the written estimate before you book, and we will hold the slot until you confirm.
| 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.
On our Meriden jobs most customers book both services twice a year, once in spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. The spring visit comes after the spring seed drop, and the fall visit comes after the last leaves have dropped and before the ground freezes. A professional window cleaning visit in each of those two windows keeps the glass from building up a film that is hard to lift later.
What we find at the spring visit is pollen. It forms a yellow film on south-facing glass, and in the gutters it dries into a paste that packs the downspout elbows. By the time the fall visit comes around, the leaf load is the main thing we clear, and on houses that skipped that visit we see clogged gutters that have sagged under the weight of wet leaves. Storms and nor'easters across Connecticut can move both dates, so we look at the weather with you before we book.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters full through the season, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round white spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or to construction picks up a film on the glass that builds up faster than average. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs take longer per run, and water damage starts at the fascia when gutters run full, so the visit is planned around the stories and the runs. Our crew is on those houses three or four times a year, and we will tell you which of these applies to your house after the first visit.
You will know the outside glass needs attention when a haze shows through the windows inside the house in low sun, and the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a hard rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters keep the curb appeal up between visits. Either sign means it is time to call. We do not give do-it-yourself instructions for these jobs, because the reach and the water pressure both matter.
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 cleans residential properties across Meriden, and the residential window and gutter work is booked as one job, so the visit covers every window and every run in one day. The estimate comes by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and to schedule service we confirm the date in writing. Call (866) 435-6328 to get started. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew works outside and calls before they arrive.
When our calendar fills, it is during the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop. Booking early in those windows gets you a day that suits you. Outside those windows the lead time is shorter, and we will tell you the exact lead time on the phone. We do not promise same-day or next-day service, because the schedule depends on the weather and the number of stories on each job.
We handle residential and commercial jobs, and condos are quoted separately from single houses, but the same crew works all of them. For a residential house, window and gutter cleaning is one visit: the crew does the gutters first, then the outside of every window, the frames, the screens and the sills, so you end the day with clean windows.
Yes, our crew does both in one visit. The gutters and downspouts get cleaned first, then the outside of the windows, so you have one appointment and one invoice instead of two.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send the number of stories, the rough window count and a photo of the front, and we will quote the job before anything is scheduled.
Yes. The outside takes the road grit, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots between visits, and cleaning it is how you remove dirt that the inside never sees. On our Meriden jobs the outside glass is where most of the grime sits, and the inside can look clean while the outside is still hazy in low sun.
Most of our Meriden customers book in the spring after the pollen drop and in the fall after the leaves come down. Booking in those months is when the calendar fills, so call early if you want a particular day.
Not with our order of work. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves, grit and runoff from the gutters come down before the windows are touched, and the wall has time to stop dripping before anyone cleans the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are cleaned where they can be reached from the outside, and we will tell you on the phone if anything needs a separate visit.
Our window cleaning services cover the outside of the glass only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass, and we do not do pressure washing services, so if you need either, we will say so and refer you elsewhere.
No, you do not need to be home, and that holds for condos too. 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. The crew sends photos of every run and window before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
