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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Connecticut, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when leaves and grit 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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs the quote moves with a few things the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a window count that includes oversized panes, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact number, text a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough window count. Most of our Middletown customers have the same question about the bundle, and it is answered once the crew has seen the house. Pollen and leaf loads vary by yard, so the same house in May and November can quote differently.
Residential and commercial buildings get the same approach: we measure the job first, then quote it, and residential properties and condos are priced the same way. Work on interior and exterior glass is priced as separate jobs, so the quote says which one you are getting. Cleaning solutions are used only where the glass needs them, and we use purified water for the rest, which dries without leaving streaks. Picture windows and tall panes take a boom or scissor lift when the ladder is not safe, and that is noted in the quote before the visit.
Most customers book regular cleanings twice a year, so the second visit is already priced when the first one is done. Tell us which windows face the sprinklers and we will check them on the first visit.

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 Middletown customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for a residential window job. Across Connecticut the spring visit window is late May to June, and the fall visit window is late October to November, after the last leaves are down.
On the spring visit the film on the south-facing glass and the paste in the downspout elbows are what we see most. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat and the grit that packs the gutters over the summer, which is the most common cause of clogged gutters we see. Storm and wind seasons, including nor'easters, can move the dates, and we adjust the schedule when they do.
Some houses and multi-story buildings need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof usually means needles and grit build up between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film faster than the rest. On those houses we suggest the third visit, and we say so on the first visit.
Windows show when they need it: a grime haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters show it too: water sheeting over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout, and over a few seasons that is how water damage starts at the fascia.
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 book window and gutter cleaning as one visit across Middletown as a whole, and every window on the outside of the house goes in the same run. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the number on the same call. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the first open date when you call.
Across Connecticut the busiest stretches run late May to June and late October to November, and our calendar fills first then. Book early in those months to keep the date you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
We schedule service around the weather, not around a fixed day, so the date can move by a day in a wet week. When the crew is on the way, you get a text, and the photos come to your phone once the glass and gutters are done.
Yes. Our washing services use the same two-person crew for the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff off the clean glass.
Professional window cleaning and gutter work on a two-story house are priced from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Text us a photo of the front of the house and we will quote it the same day.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what collects on the glass here: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. A regular visit is how you remove dirt before it bonds to the glass, and clean glass helps curb appeal from the street. The inside is a separate job we do not do on this visit.
Most of our Middletown customers book in the spring and in the fall. Booking earlier in those months keeps the date you want.
No. We clean gutters and downspouts first, so the leaves, grit and black water come down before anyone touches the clean windows. The glass is the last thing we do on the house.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. They are not billed as extras.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, so we do not touch the windows inside the house, and we do not pressure wash on this visit.
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 and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have a question before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
