Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Willimantic jobs most customers book the spring and fall visits, so the crew knows which runs and panes fill up first. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the number before anything is booked.
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 quote 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 on the phone is the number we charge at the end of the job. Stories and roof pitch move the number most: a third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift for the upper runs. Window count and oversized panes are next, since picture windows take longer to wash than a standard double-hung. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before they run clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning will not remove. Some customers ask about interior and exterior glass together, and that is a separate quote; this visit covers the outside only. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. On our Willimantic work, the quote usually rises when a house has been left a long time between visits, so we ask about that on the phone. A photo of the front of the house sent by text lets us see the stories and window layout before we give the number.
Window washing on a two-story house in this town tends to come down to how many panes face the street and how many are over a porch roof, and the crew counts both on the estimate call. Washing services that only do the glass usually leave the gutters for another day, which is why we bundle them. Window cleaning services priced per pane can look cheaper on paper, but the grime on the lower sash and the sill adds passes the estimate did not count. Our regular cleanings on a schedule keep the glass from building up the way a one-time job does, and the crew sees the same house each visit.

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 Willimantic jobs most customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Connecticut the spring visit falls late May to June and the fall visit falls October to early November. In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load, and the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs over winter. Storm and wind seasons, including nor'easters, can shift the dates, and we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, so those houses run closer to every three or four months. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses are also on a shorter schedule. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a fine grime on the glass, and the upper glass of multi-story buildings gets the same grime, so a twice-a-year visit does not always keep ahead of it. Both residential and commercial properties show this, and the crew flags it on the first visit. Windows inside are not part of this visit, so what you see on the inside will not change with the outside cleaning.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze on the glass that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout, and a run left that way for a season can lead to water damage on the wall below. Stubborn grime on the sill may need stronger cleaning solutions, and the crew says so before it uses them. If you see any of this, text a photo and we will tell you which visit it belongs to.
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 professional window cleaning and cleaning services for the gutters across the Willimantic area, and at city scope we name the neighborhoods only where we have cleaned. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the number. Lead time is listed on our booking page for this area, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year when the leaves come down. Our window cleaners work from a water-fed pole for most of the glass, and the upper runs are done from a boom or scissor lift where the house needs it. We clean every window on the outside of the house and the sills under them, so the finished house has consistent curb appeal from the street. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. The estimate and the schedule both come from one call, so you know the slot before the truck arrives.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the crew can remove dirt from the runs before the panes are touched.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. If the home is one of several condos in a building, say so when you call, because shared access changes the count. We do not quote a figure here because the house decides it.
On our Willimantic jobs the outside carries rain dust and sprinkler spotting, and those build up on the glass whether or not the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside is the part that changes what you see through the glass.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, the two visits that catch the spring film on the glass and the leaf load in the gutters. Across Connecticut the spring visit is late May to June and the fall visit is October to early November.
Not on our jobs, because we clean gutters first and glass last. When the runs are cleared first, the grit and runoff stop before they reach the panes below.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included in the same pass. None of those are billed as extras.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing or interior glass. If you want the inside done, text us and we will tell you who to call.
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.
