Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across Connecticut, most of our customers book the work for spring and fall, which is when the glass and the gutters need it most.
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, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs set the access, so a third story costs more to reach than a single floor. Window count and oversized panes change the time on the glass, and picture windows take longer to dry without streaks. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes. Clearing the gutters and downspouts is part of the job, and so are screen rinsing and sill wiping, so none of them is billed as an extra. Our crew has found that the fastest way to get an exact number is to text us the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has, so the quote does not rely on guesswork. Most of our customers call on the phone at (866) 435-6328 and get the number before anyone books a date. Along with the window washing for the glass, the crew handles washing services on the gutters themselves, and the window cleaning services we provide cover the exterior glass only. We do not do interior and exterior work on the same visit, and we do not do interior glass at all. The grime on glass that has sat through a Connecticut winter is usually heavier than a simple rinse can lift, so the crew brings the right tools to remove dirt that a rinse leaves behind. Our regular cleanings schedule is built around the way the glass and gutters actually load up.

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 Stamford jobs most customers book both twice a year, in late spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the window and gutter work. In late spring the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters are the first things we see. The leaf load arrives in fall, and storm and wind seasons move those dates a little from year to year. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a home near a busy road or construction often need a third visit, because cleaning solutions alone do not stop the spotting from coming back. A sprinkler spot that returns a day after cleaning is a mineral deposit, and that is the kind of spot we flag on the visit. Clogged gutters are the usual cause of water damage we see at the eaves, since water backs up under the shingles when the runs are full. Residential and commercial properties both carry this risk, but for a single-family home the cycle is simple: two visits a year covers most houses. Multi-story buildings and condos need more planning for access, and we schedule them around that. You will know the window needs attention when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. Our crew can tell you on the first visit which of those applies to your house.
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.
Booking works as a call or a text for residential properties: you tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we return an estimate. Lead time depends on the season, and the busy windows of the year fill the calendar faster than the rest of the year, so an early call helps. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our company has professional window cleaning crews who work the full schedule, and the same people who clean the gutters clean the glass, so the handoff is one crew. Homeowners who want their curb appeal kept up tend to schedule service twice a year and add a third visit when the house needs it. We bring the right equipment to reach every residential window from the ground or the pole, and we check the sill on each window as we go. Our window cleaners handle the work from start to finish, so there is no second trip to finish what the first crew left.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That keeps the dirty runoff off the clean glass.
The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Text us a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the figure before anything is booked.
In Stamford the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass gets dirty from outside first. Cleaning the outside keeps the view clear whatever the inside looks like.
Our customers here book in late spring and in fall. Those are the two windows when pollen and leaves have built up on the glass and in the gutters.
No. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, because the leaves, grit and black water from the runs come down the wall and across any window below it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit as well, so none of them is billed separately.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
