Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first, glass last, so nothing dripping from the roof lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than two separate trips.
We have been running this route across New Hampshire, and on our Derry jobs most customers book the bundle for the spring and fall visits.
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 doing the gutters and the outside glass in one visit costs less than booking the two separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and the bundle saving is shown on your estimate.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work it from a boom or scissor lift, oversized and picture windows that take longer to reach, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves or not opened in years, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which takes a mineral treatment as well as cleaning solutions. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
One Derry job shows how this plays out. The house had a sprinkler line hitting the front glass and a gutter run that had not been opened in years, so the crew cleared the run, flushed the downspouts and then dealt with the spotting on the glass. That is the kind of detail that changes the quote, so text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and the number of windows, and we will give you the exact number.
Gutters on picture windows need the same care as the rest of the job, and multi-story buildings and condos follow the same order, gutters first and glass last, with access sorted before the first run. Most of our customers find the bundle is the simplest way to get both done. Ask us for a written estimate before you book a date.

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 Derry customers book both twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the house. Regular cleanings keep the downspouts moving and the glass clear between the big jobs.
What we find in spring is pollen on south-facing glass and a paste of tree seed in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs once the leaves have dropped. Derry gets about 46.7 inches of precipitation a year, and October is one of its three wettest months, so the fall visit lands in October to early November, when the leaves are down and the runs fill with wet mat. Storms and wind seasons move the dates, so we adjust the booking to what the house needs.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packed between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the rest of the street. Clogged gutters that freeze at the eaves in a Derry winter can cause water damage, so the runs are worth checking before the cold sets in.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will book a date.
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 residential window washing services for homeowners across the Derry neighborhoods we already service, and the window and gutter cleaning is booked by phone or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you a slot. Lead time is listed on the estimate.
The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when tree dust and leaves are heaviest. That is when our calendar fills, so the sooner you schedule service, the better the odds of getting your preferred date.
We call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. Clean windows do more for curb appeal than most owners expect, so every window we clean gets the same treatment, with the same care to the sill and frame of each one. The order of work does not change between residential and commercial buildings, and condos follow it too: gutters first, glass last.
We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners who only need the gutters and downspouts done. Residential properties, condos included, get the same crew and the same photos of every run.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they go gutters first, glass last.
Professional window cleaning on a house like this is priced from the stories and the window count. Text us a photo of the front and the window count, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will quote it.
Usually yes on our jobs, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. The grime on the outside also ends up in runoff across the sill and frame, so a regular cleaning is how you remove dirt before it sets.
Most of our Derry customers book in late spring and again in late fall, which is when tree dust and leaves are heaviest.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, someone has to wash it again, so the roof, the runs and the downspouts all get done before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job, so they are not billed as extras.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside the house are not part of the job. Interior and exterior cleaning are quoted separately, and pressure washing is not included.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside 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.
