Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. 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 it in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes how we work the job. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers, and the grime it leaves on the glass, does not come off with cleaning. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our window cleaning services and are not billed as extras.
Across Connecticut, the first thing we ask for is the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, sent by text. With those two things we can give you an exact number for window washing services and for gutters and downspouts before anyone comes out. Runoff from a clogged run is the usual reason a second visit is needed, so we clear the gutters before we touch the glass. Our crew will remove dirt from the sills and frames as part of the same visit, and the condos we see with shared roofs tend to need the same care on every unit. If your windows are the picture windows that take a lot of the wall, tell us when you book, because the glass takes longer. Ask for a written estimate with the stories and window count spelled out, and check it against the invoice when the job is done.

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 customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and one crew in one visit makes sense for both. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same order of work. Before the spring visit we are looking at pollen on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall we find the wet leaf mat that sits in the gutters after the last drop, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sagged under ice by the next winter.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, big trees that drop needles and grit between visits, is one case. A sprinkler line hitting the glass is another, and those are the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames and sills, and it needs cleanings more often than a quiet street does. We look at the house on the first visit and tell you which of these your lot needs.
On the glass, the sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only see when the sun is low. On the gutters, the sign is water sheeting over the edge in rain. If you see either, book a visit. We do not do interior glass on this trip, and we use purified water instead of cleaning solutions on the exterior, so the interior and exterior cleaning is a separate question for you and us. For regular cleanings on a set schedule, text us a photo of the front of the house and we will set the dates.
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 the exterior work for homeowners across New London, and the estimate comes by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories, since multi-story buildings take a longer setup, and send a photo of the house front. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm a slot. Our lead time is shown on the booking page, and we will tell you the first open date when we call back. In the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, our calendar fills, so booking early keeps your date.
Our crew does not come inside, so windows inside are not part of this visit, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every run once the job is finished. Our professional window cleaning uses purified water on the glass, and our cleaning services clear the gutters by hand, which protects the curb appeal of the house. If a gutter is already clogged badly, the clogged gutters have to come out first, and the crew reports anything that looks like water damage to the fascia so you can decide what to do about it.
Yes. On residential properties, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not end up on clean windows.
We give the number on the phone or by text, from the number of stories, the size of the house and the count of each residential window. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the dirt: rain dust, grit and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the outside of every window keeps the glass clear even if the inside is already clean.
Across Connecticut, most of our customers book in spring and again in fall. Those are the two visits that catch the spring buildup and the leaf drop.
Not on our jobs. Gutters first, glass last. If the glass was washed first, someone has to wash it again once the gutters are clear.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. We do not treat them as extras.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 before the visit if you have questions.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
