The same two people clean your 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 together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Shelton jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaf load are at their 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 gutter and window cleaning, and any window washing that goes with it, by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and professional window cleaning on the same house gets one quote. 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 give you a written estimate.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote: a third story or a steep roof that needs a boom or scissor lift, a high count of oversized panes, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards we have to lift and reseat, 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. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, and that is included in the price. Windows inside are not part of the quote, since this visit covers the outside only. If you searched for window cleaners and only need the glass, the price changes, so say so on the call.
On our Shelton jobs, the quotes that climb most are the ones with clogged gutters that have gone years without a visit, because the water damage from a blocked run shows up on the fascia and under the eaves before anyone has looked. Houses with many windows, including picture windows, take longer from the lift, and that is where the count matters most. Tell us the stories and a rough window count, and we will tell you where the number lands before the crew is on the truck.

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, the usual spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, so one crew handling both cleaning services in one visit keeps the calendar simple. On the spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. On the fall visit the leaf load is the thing, a wet mat in the runs and grit on the sill of every window that faces a tree.
Heavy tree cover over the roof changes the schedule. Those houses tend to need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass is the other common reason for a third visit, since the spots it leaves come back a day after we clean them. A house near a busy road or a construction site also picks up more residue, and we see that on the glass within weeks.
A window needs cleaning when you can see haze on it only in low sun, and gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running to the downspout. Every residential window on the house gets the same check, so clean windows are the goal on each visit. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo to schedule service, and we will look at the house and give you a timeline.
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 window cleaning services cover residential properties across Shelton and the surrounding area, and our washing services also reach commercial buildings, condos and multi-story buildings when the scope fits. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar at the moment you call, and we will tell you the first open slot when we confirm the estimate.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when the pollen and leaf load are heaviest. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so the sooner you call, the better your chances of the date you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works from the outside to remove dirt and grime from the glass, and it clears gutters and downspouts first so runoff from the roof does not land on clean panes.
Our crew does both, and it is the same two people in the same visit. Gutters are done first, then the glass. The same crew handles residential and commercial jobs.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate.
Interior and exterior glass pick up different things. On our Shelton jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass can look dirty even when the inside is clean. Outside cleaning is where most of the residue sits.
Most of our customers here book regular cleanings in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaf load are at their heaviest.
No. Gutters go first and glass last, because the leaves, grit and black water under a cleared run come down the wall and across any window below it.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the exterior visit and are not billed as extras. The glass is done with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left behind to streak.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the 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.
