Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Connecticut, most homeowners book this in the spring and fall, and we work the same way on every house we clean.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs, window count and picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes all change the quote. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our quote covers the outside only, since we never price interior and exterior glass as one job.
On our West Haven jobs, the window and gutter work for a house with a lot of glass takes longer than a plain two-story, and multi-story buildings take longer again, which is what we price in. The easiest way to get the exact number is to send a photo of the front of the house by text along with the number of stories and a rough count of the windows. For a home with heavy pollen, we check the gutters and the glass before we quote, since both change how long the visit takes. Purified water does most of the glass work, and cleaning solutions only come out when a frame needs them. Plans for regular cleanings run more smoothly than a first visit after years of neglect. If a building mixes residential and commercial space, call first, and we will tell you whether the same price applies.
| 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.
Across Connecticut, most homeowners book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Window cleaners see the same pattern, and our cleaning services follow it. What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring we find a film of pollen on south-facing glass, and in fall we find the leaf load that has built up after the trees drop. Nor'easters across Connecticut can move those dates, so we plan around the weather rather than a fixed calendar. April, September and October bring the most rain in West Haven, so book professional window cleaning for the drier weeks between them.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts grit and needles into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings also take more time on the ladder and the pole, so we ask how many floors on the first call. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass than a quiet street does. We go over these on the phone so the schedule matches the house.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze only in low sun. That haze is the first sign, and keeping the front of the house clean helps the curb appeal between visits. Haze on the windows inside the house has a different cause, and this visit does not cover the windows inside. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in the rain, which usually means clogged gutters or a downspout that is backing up. In West Haven that backup matters before a freeze, because water sitting in a gutter can ice up and lead to water damage at the fascia. Either way, a quick call is enough to get a visit on the calendar.
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 crew provides window and gutter cleaning for residential properties, and every window on the outside of the house is cleaned in the same visit as the gutters. Our cleaning services cover the homes in and around West Haven, and the residential window count is checked on the first call so the quote matches the house. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and once you confirm we will schedule service for the day that suits your calendar. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the next open date for your street.
Two stretches of the year fill up fastest for us, the spring and the fall, when customers are clearing dust and leaves from their gutters and the glass. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not go inside. We clean each sill and frame as part of the job, so you get clean windows on every side, not just the glass.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff from the gutters does not end up on clean windows.
We give you the number by phone or text, and it comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. The quote we give is the price you pay. Condos get the same kind of estimate, from a photo and the number of stories.
Yes, because the outside takes the hit. Rain does not remove dirt from the glass on its own, and in West Haven rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the outside, where only an exterior clean can reach them.
Most of our window cleaning services are booked in the spring and the fall, across Connecticut. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at your calendar with you.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. Once the gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed, the runoff stops and the wall gets a few minutes to dry before anyone touches the windows.
Screens get rinsed and sills get wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are part of the window work as well.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service. We do not quote interior and exterior glass as one job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
