Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New Hampshire, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when we do our most work here.
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 the job 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. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a figure before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder, the same reason multi-story buildings take longer to work. Window count and oversized panes add time on the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and a run that overflows for a season can lead to water damage on the fascia. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not removed by a regular cleaning. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The windows inside the house are not in this price, which covers the outside glass only.
On a Dover job last spring, the quote came in higher than the customer expected because the house had three stories with a steep back roof and a full run of clogged gutters on the lower level. The crew cleared the gutters first, then did the glass, and the owner had photos of every run before the truck left. The number on the invoice matched the number on the phone. If you want the exact figure, ask for a written estimate and tell us the stories, the window count, and whether the back of the house has any trees hanging over it.
Professional window cleaning and window washing are priced the same way: we count the stories and the glass, then give you one number that covers the gutters, the exterior windows and the cleanup. Clean glass and gutters do a lot for curb appeal. Those are the details that decide the quote, not the street you live on.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Dover customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across New Hampshire, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June, and our fall visit lands in October to early November. In the spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In the fall we find the leaf load, which turns into a wet mat that holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so call us to schedule service before you pick a day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction collects more dust on the sill and the frame, and every residential window on that side shows it first. These are the cases where we suggest a third visit based on what we see on the glass and in the gutters.
Most residential properties with no trees over the roof are usually fine on one visit a year, in late fall. A customer with trees over the roof or sprinklers aimed at the glass tends to need three or four cleanings a year. Sticking to regular cleanings keeps the gutters clear between storms. We tell you which of those your house needs after the first visit.
You can tell the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Either way, the crew checks every window and sill, and every run of gutter, and gives you a photo of each.
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.
We have cleaned gutters and windows across the older parts of Dover, and we book by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm your slot. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are when our calendar fills up fastest. If you are calling in the middle of those windows, expect to wait a few days for a slot.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. We call before we come, usually when we are on the way, so you know the crew is close. Our washing services and window cleaning services cover the outside of the glass and the frames, and we clear the gutters and downspouts before the glass is touched, so the runoff does not land on clean windows. Cleaning the grime off the frames and sills is part of the visit, not an add-on, and the crew works to remove dirt from every sill it can reach. That is the whole visit, and we will tell you if something outside that scope needs to be done.
If you live in a condo, tell us whether you own the gutters and glass before we book, so the crew knows which run is yours. We are a crew that does the same work every time, so you should expect the same steps on your house as we did on the one down the street.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first, then the glass, so the runoff does not end up on clean windows.
The figure comes from the stories, the window count and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Picture windows and oversized panes count toward the glass we price. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what collects on residential and commercial glass in this area: pollen in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. The inside can stay as it is and the outside still needs its own visit.
Most of our Dover customers book regular cleanings in the spring and the fall. In the spring the pollen is packed in the gutters, and in the fall the wet leaf mat is the main problem. Book the visit as the season starts.
Not on our jobs, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, the gutter debris runs down the wall and across the windows below it, and then someone has to wash them again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and the frames are cleaned too. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside. We do not bill them as extras.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so we do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing. This visit covers the outside of the glass only, not the interior and exterior together. If a stain needs a cleaning solution rather than water, the crew says so before using it.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
