Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New Hampshire, most of our customers book this bundle in spring and fall, once the season's debris has settled into the gutters and onto the glass. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will give you the number on the phone.
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 on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will quote from those.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a lot of small panes change the count. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with leaves and needles, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a treatment that no cleaning removes. Grime that has built up on the sills for a season takes longer to wipe than a light film. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras, and the glass is done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions.
Most of the regular cleanings we do here start with a phone call about the house. Our quote covers exterior glass only, so windows inside the house are not part of it, and we say so before booking any interior and exterior request. Ask for a written estimate and we will send one with the stories, window count and any add-ons listed, so the window washing and the gutter work show up as line items you can check. Text a photo of the front of the house and we can usually see what the crew will be dealing with. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through the window washing and washing services you need.

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 New Hampshire, our customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load comes down and sits wet in the runs. On houses with heavy tree cover and on multi-story buildings, needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and those customers book three or four times a year. Houses with few or no trees do fine on a single late-fall visit. Every visit is meant to remove dirt the rain would otherwise carry down the wall.
Two more things change the schedule. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and cleaning alone does not stop them. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a fine dust that looks like haze only when the sun is low. Either one may need a third visit.
You will know windows need it when you see haze in low sun, and you will know gutters need it when runoff sheets over the edge in a rain. Those are the two signs we look for first. For clogged gutters that have already started to overflow, a visit sooner than the calendar says is the right call, because water damage to the fascia and soffit costs far more than the cleaning. Book a date with us by phone or text, and we will put the house on the schedule for the window that fits.
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 has been cleaning residential properties around Laconia, and we fill the calendar in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, when the seasonal debris and leaf load are heaviest. Outside those windows slots open up more often. The fastest way to get on the schedule is to call or text with your stories and a photo of the house front, and we will tell you the next open date. If the building is residential and commercial, ask on the call and we will say whether the crew can take it.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. We call before we come, so the truck does not show up unannounced. Our window cleaners work from the outside with a water-fed pole, reaching every window on the outside, the upper stories included, and they wipe down each sill as they go. For curb appeal that holds through the season, the exterior glass and the gutter runs are the two things we would schedule together.
Professional window cleaning services and gutter work on one schedule is what most of our Laconia customers ask for. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will schedule service for the visit that suits your stories and your window count.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both, gutters first and glass last, in one visit. Doing them together means one setup per side of the house instead of two trips.
We do not quote a figure here. The number comes from your stories and approximate residential window count, and we give it by phone or text before anything is booked. Condos are quoted the same way.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the rain dust and sprinkler spotting that the inside never sees. On houses in Laconia the outside glass is where most of the film builds up between visits. If you want interior and exterior work, that is a separate job, since this visit covers the exterior only.
Most of our Laconia customers book in late spring and in late fall, after the seed drop and again after the leaves come down. Tell us the timing you want and we will check the calendar.
Not if the gutters are done first. When we clear a run, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so the roof, gutters and downspouts get handled before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the outside glass visit.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing, so if you need either, tell us and we will point you to someone else.
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 ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
