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 in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew has been on the ladders in Rochester for spring and fall visits, and most of the customers we see here book both for the same day.
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. Professional window cleaning and gutter work done in one visit cost less than booking the gutters and the windows separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Every quote starts from a base figure set by the stories and the window count.
What moves a quote is what the crew finds when it arrives. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. A window count that runs high, or oversized picture windows, takes longer on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before the flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and a rough window count, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will ask the same two questions. Our crew can also work from a photo for residential and commercial properties with a similar layout. On the phone we will tell you what is in the number and what is not, so there is nothing added on the day. The glass is done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions. For interior and exterior glass together we do the exterior only on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this booking.
| 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.
Across New Hampshire most of our customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In Rochester the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit falls in October to early November. The spring visit catches the film on south-facing glass and the tree debris in the gutters. The fall visit clears the wet leaf mat that builds up before the first hard freeze.
What we find on each visit depends on the trees and the weather. By spring the film on the glass is thick, and by fall it is the leaf load that fills the runs. Storm and wind seasons, nor'easters across the state, can move the dates for a house that has been hit hard. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road tend to need a third visit, because the grime and the spots return faster than the twice-a-year schedule allows. Those are the cases where regular cleanings make the most sense. Clogged gutters that back up in a freeze can lead to water damage at the fascia, and the runoff from a blocked run ends up running down the siding.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low, and it shows most from the street, which is where curb appeal starts. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, not running into the downspout, which usually means clogged gutters. If you see either, it is time to book.
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 works across Rochester, and we book window and gutter cleaning services for residential properties, including residential window work and clean windows on houses of every size. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories. We give you the estimate by phone or text, and then we set a date that fits your calendar. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the earliest date when you call. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew calls ahead before it comes.
The busy windows are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills fastest, so schedule service early if you want a date in those weeks. Every window on the outside of the house is covered in the price, and the sill is wiped with the rest of the frame. Multi-story buildings are quoted by stories, the same way as a house.
Yes. The same two people handle our window cleaning services and the gutter work in one visit, and they clear the gutters and downspouts first. The glass goes last, so nothing runs back down the wall onto clean glass.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Condos are priced the same way, from the stories and the window count. Text us a photo of the front and we will give you a figure by text or phone, and that figure is the one on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the runoff from the roof that leaves marks in Rochester. The inside can be perfect and the glass still looks hazy from the outside when the sun is low.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, in mid to late June, and again in the fall, in October to early November. Those are the two windows the crew sees the most pollen and leaf load.
No, because the gutters go first and the glass goes last. When clogged gutters are cleared before the windows are touched, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall first, so the glass is cleaned once.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the job, and that is included in the number we give you. Tracks are part of the same visit on the outside of the house.
Not on this visit. Our window washing services cover the exterior glass only, and pressure washing is not part of this booking. If you need the windows inside, tell us when you call and we will say what we can do.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked, and the crew sends photos of every run before it leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
