Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Connecticut, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and we have the calendar to match.
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, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked, a large number of windows or oversized picture windows, gutters not cleaned in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job on gutters and downspouts and on every residential window, so they are not billed as extras. Pricing for interior and exterior glass differs, and this visit covers exterior only.
Across Connecticut, the way to get the exact number is to tell us the stories, the rough window count, and send a photo of the front of the house by text. That is enough for a firm figure before the truck is booked. Most window washing and washing services jobs on residential properties come down to those three things, and our window cleaning services follow the same logic. The cleanings that take longer are the ones where grime has built up for a year or more on the glass and the frames. Regular cleanings keep the job shorter and the bill smaller, and the crew can tell you what interval fits your house after the first visit. Our crew handles both the outside of the glass and the gutters on the same ladder setup, which is why the bundle saves time.
| 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 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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 Storrs customers book both twice a year, and that is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Across Connecticut the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and in Storrs the fall visit lands in late October to November. In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters, both heavy enough that a season's worth stays on the house if nobody clears it. In fall the leaf load is the main thing we remove, because clogged gutters full of wet leaves sit through a winter that brings 39.0 inches of snow on average, and that is where most water damage starts. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, since nor'easters hit across Connecticut, so we work from what the house needs rather than a fixed calendar.
Dust and grit settle on residential and commercial glass alike, and some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate look. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more dust, and runoff from the roof carries that grit straight down onto the panes below, so it takes a third visit to remove dirt that a single cleaning misses. For these, a third visit in summer is usually the right answer. You will know it is time to call when the glass looks hazy only at low sun, and when water sheets over the gutter edge during rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 starts with a quote by phone or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we tell you the price and the earliest slot. Our calendar fills during the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months gets you the date you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every gutter run and finished window before the crew leaves. Our window cleaning services cover every window on the outside of the house, including the sill and frame, and our professional window cleaning crew works from a pole so the glass dries clean without a ladder against the siding. We use purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so no soap film is left behind. For a clean finish across the full house, our window cleaners do every window in the same visit, which keeps the curb appeal consistent from one side of the house to the other.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps dirty gutter water off the clean glass.
We give the number by phone or text, based on stories and window count, and multi-story buildings are quoted on the same basis. The figure you get is the figure on the invoice, and downspout flushing and screen rinsing are included on every residential window job.
On our Storrs jobs the outside carries most of the buildup: rain dust, leaf film and sprinkler spots. Cleaning windows inside is a separate job we do not do on this visit, so the outside is the part we clean and where we remove dirt before it reaches the frame.
Across Connecticut the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and in Storrs the fall visit lands in late October to November. Booking early in those months gets you the date you want.
No. We clean gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so nothing from the runs can wash down onto clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the same visit, and runoff from the frames is rinsed away during the wipe-down.
Exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing as part of this job.
No, you do not need to be home, and condos work the same way because the crew stays outside. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Text us a photo of the roofline if you want a firm estimate, or call (866) 435-6328 to book a date.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
