Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your residential window glass in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dripping off the roof lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and having both jobs done in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Connecticut, most homes get this work in late spring and fall, 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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing the gutters and the exterior glass together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Professional window cleaning priced as one job is the cheapest way to keep curb appeal up. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and we will not change it once the crew is on the ladder. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
Most of what moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on every run, and multi-story buildings add crew time at every level. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more clearing before any water can run through them. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it, and we will tell you before the job starts if it is there. Window washing, downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our crew will be the one who sees the house, so the number comes from what is actually there. Before a visit, send the stories and a rough count of the windows, along with a photo of the front. Hidden costs are the ones that catch people off guard, such as a gutter that has been holding water for years and has started to show water damage at the fascia. We would rather find it in the first five minutes and tell you about it than discover it after the ladder is up. The quote covers the exterior only, so windows inside the house are not priced in. If you want the closest number, text us the photo and the window count and we will tell you what to expect.
| 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 |

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 properties book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, once in late May or June and once in late October or November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most homes. Our cleaning services follow that rhythm. In late spring the downspout elbows are packed with pollen paste and seeds, and the glass shows a yellow film on the south-facing panes. In late fall it is the wet leaf mat that matters, and on houses that skipped that visit we see gutter runs sagging under the weight by the next season.
Storm seasons, including the nor'easters that cross Connecticut, move the dates a little from one year to the next, and we book around them. A house with heavy tree cover over the roof usually needs a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. Ask us to schedule service for that house on the spring and fall visits, and we will check every window each time. The same goes for a sprinkler line that hits the glass, since those spots come back a day after cleaning, and for a house near a busy road or a construction site, where grime builds up on the glass faster than on the other sides.
You will know windows need cleaning again when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout. Those are the signs we look for on every visit, and they are a better guide than a calendar date. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we will book the next visit around 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.
We clean gutters and exterior windows across the city, and our window cleaning services run the same way on every street. Our washing services cover the glass, the frames and the screens, and the gutters and downspouts get cleared first. We also remove dirt from the frames before the glass is wiped, so the panes stay clean. To book, call or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will send you an estimate. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way. The lead time on a slot depends on the season, and we will tell you the first open date when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are late spring and late fall, the same months our customers tend to book. Those are when the calendar fills, so if you want a particular date, book early. Late-season rain also sends runoff down the siding and onto the glass, so those are the months when a delay costs the most. Our crew treats residential and commercial jobs the same, whether it is a single-family house, a row of condos, or a building with many floors, and the work is checked against the same list before the truck leaves.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the roof never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Picture windows count as larger panes, which adds time at the glass. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front and we will tell you what to expect.
On our jobs in New Britain, the outside carries most of the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass gets dirty from the outside first. Cleaning the inside will not remove what the rain leaves on the exterior, and we rely on purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to streak.
Across Connecticut, most homes book late May or June and late October or November. Regular cleanings at those times catch the pollen and leaves before they pack the downspouts.
No, the crew does the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and grit from the roof never lands on panes we have just cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the exterior.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, and interior and exterior glass are priced as two separate jobs. We do not clean windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
