Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
We have run this routine on jobs across Rhode Island through the spring and fall cleaning seasons, and the order of work is the same on every house.
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.
The quote depends on how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries. We give the number over the phone or by text from those two facts, for houses, condos or a residential and commercial building alike, and the window washing and washing services on the invoice match it. Doing gutters and exterior glass together in one visit is the cheaper route, because the setup, the water and the ladder time are shared.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the price. On multi-story buildings the crew spends more time on the ladder, and a third story or a steep roof adds to it. A high count of windows, or oversized picture windows, means more glass to work through, and each residential window with a screen takes a little longer than a bare pane. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning alone. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, even when the crew has to remove dirt from a sill first.
For a Coventry house, the fastest way to get an exact number is to send a photo of the front of the house by text along with the story count and the window count, since our window cleaning services are priced from those facts. The water runoff from a long roofline and the grime on the lower windows tell us how much work is left after the first pass, so we can quote without guessing. Most of the time the estimate matches what we find on the first visit, and that is the number we stand behind.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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.
On our Coventry jobs, most customers book both services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit fits the schedule. Across Rhode Island the spring visit lands in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November.
In the spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutter elbows. In the fall we find the wet leaf mat and the grit that the first hard rains wash down, and a film that plain water does not lift, which is where cleaning solutions come in. Across Rhode Island, storm and nor'easter seasons can move the dates, so we confirm the calendar when you book. Our visit covers the exterior glass, not the interior and exterior of the house together.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps packing the downspouts between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the lower panes than the average house does. If your house has any of these, plan on three cleanings a year, and we will tell you after the first one.
Booking regular cleanings keeps the seasonal film and grit from setting on the glass. The sign that the windows need attention is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign the gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, instead of running down the downspout.
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.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front along with the number of stories. Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring cleaning rush and the fall leaf drop, so the earlier you call, the better your chance of the date you want. The lead time we give is the one on the booking screen for your area.
Our crew has cleaned in several Coventry neighborhoods, and we can tell you whether we have worked on your street. Professional window cleaning and gutter work share one crew and one order of work, so our window cleaning services never get mixed up with the gutter run.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Keep the side gate unlocked and the cars off the driveway if the windows face it, since the crew works on every window the pole can reach. The crew brings its own water and power.
Homes with heavy tree cover tend to build up debris faster than open lots, and clogged gutters are the usual cause of water damage at the eave. We would rather catch that on a scheduled visit than after a storm. Our window cleaners also keep up the curb appeal of the home, which matters when a house is for sale or when guests arrive.
Yes. The same two people do both jobs in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff off the windows we just finished.
We give the number by phone or text, based on the number of stories and the approximate window count. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the price before we book.
On residential properties in Coventry the outside carries most of the grime: spring tree film, rain dust and sprinkler spotting year round. The inside can stay as it is, but clean windows from the outside start with the exterior glass, which is where the haze builds up.
Most of our Coventry customers book in late spring and again in late fall. Across Rhode Island the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall dry for a few minutes, and only then clean the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior visit. Tracks are included on most houses, and we will tell you on the phone if yours needs extra time.
Not on this visit: the windows inside are not part of it. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
