The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Rhode Island, most of our customers book this service in the spring and the fall, when the leaves have had the most time to build up. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and a rough window count, and we give you the number we will charge.
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 gutter and window cleaning 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 on the invoice. What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds when it arrives: a third story, or a roof steep enough that it has to be worked from a boom or scissor lift, oversized picture windows and a high count of small panes, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our crew cleans exterior glass only on this visit, and interior and exterior glass are two different jobs. Window washing and washing services for the inside of the glass are a separate arrangement, and so are the other cleanings we are asked about, such as pressure washing the siding. Regular cleanings are what keep the outside of a house from building up, and most of the work on each is the same whether it is a small ranch or a larger house. Picture windows take the same care as the small panes, just with more glass per visit to get through, and our window cleaning services on this visit include wiping the grime off every sill.
On a Burrillville house the fastest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with the stories and a rough window count. We will tell you what the crew is likely to find, and if something on the roof needs attention we photograph it and tell you before anyone starts climbing.

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 Burrillville customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Across Rhode Island the spring visit lands in late May to June, and on our jobs the fall visit lands in late October to November. The spring visit catches the pollen film on the south-facing glass and the grit that has collected in the gutters. The fall window and gutter visit catches the leaf load before the first hard freeze, when wet leaves turn into a mat that holds water against the fascia and invites water damage, and runoff spills over the edge instead of reaching the downspout.
Storm and wind seasons in Rhode Island, including the nor'easters, can move a date by a few weeks in either direction, and we schedule around that rather than around the calendar. A house under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roof, usually needs a third visit, because clogged gutters fill with needles and grit between cleanings. Multi-story buildings take longer to reach, so we ask about the stories before we book. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the round spots that return a day after a cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames, and the crew wipes the frames to remove dirt before it reaches the glass. We ask about these before we book.
You can usually see when windows need attention: a haze shows up on the glass when the sun is low, and it is harder to ignore in the afternoon. Gutters tell you the same thing in the rain, when water sheets over the edge instead of running down the downspout. If you see either, it is time to book, and the cleaning solutions we use on the glass are chosen for the buildup we find on Burrillville houses. The windows inside stay on their own schedule, since the crew works only on the outside glass.
The calendar matters on residential properties as much as on commercial ones. Our residential and commercial schedules are set by the same crew, so the timing we give a homeowner is the timing we keep.
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 cleaning services for gutters and exterior windows across the town as a whole, and we book a slot by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text once we have the stories and a photo of the house front. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every run and every pane before the truck leaves. The professional window cleaning we do here is set up for the way Burrillville houses are built, with steep roofs, sloped lots and a lot of glass to get through in a single visit.
The busy stretches of the year come with the leaves, in spring and in late fall. During those stretches our calendar fills, so the sooner you call to schedule service, the more likely we can keep your preferred date. Our window cleaners work from the ground and from boom or scissor lifts, and they reach every window on the house, not just the ones easy to see from the driveway.
Keeping the outside of a house clean protects its curb appeal and the parts of it that rot when water sits, and that is the reason we ask for the whole house at once. When you book with us you get a crew that cleans the gutters first and the glass last, so the job is finished in one pass and the sill is wiped clean at the end.
Yes. Window and gutter cleaning is done by the same two people in one visit, starting with the gutters and finishing with the glass. Doing both together is why a bundle costs less than two separate trips.
We do not quote a fixed number from a guess. Tell us the stories and an approximate window count, or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the price over the phone. Condos are quoted the same way, from the stories and windows we can see from the outside. That number is the one on the invoice.
On residential properties in Burrillville, the outside carries most of the buildup: pollen in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting on the glass that hits the outside first. The inside can look fine while the outside is hazy in low sun, and that haze is what we remove. We also remove dirt from the frames on the same visit.
Across Rhode Island the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit in late October to November. Storms can shift those dates a little, so call and we will set the nearest open slot.
Not on our jobs. Gutters and downspouts are done first, so the leaves, grit and runoff come down before the glass is touched, and each downspout is flushed before anyone works on the windows below it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside. Nothing in that list is billed as an extra on this visit.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside and we do not do pressure washing, so if you need either one you will need to arrange it separately.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
