Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. We have run this bundle for homeowners across Rhode Island through every spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window washing services and gutter cleanings are quoted together, so the number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping already included rather than billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof slows the work. Our window cleaning services are priced by window count, so a high count of window panes, or oversized picture windows, adds time on the glass. Glass with a heavy coat of grime takes longer to wash than a light film. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a mineral treatment that cleaning alone will not remove. We note each of these before the visit so the estimate is not a surprise.
On a Cranston job, the quote changes most when the crew sees the house up close for the first time. One customer's bundle moved once the crew saw the back run was higher than the front, and the window count doubled once the side picture windows were counted. The cases we tell you about are the ones with their links, not the ones we make up. Customers on regular cleanings get their quote on file, so the second visit does not start from zero. If you want the interior and exterior of the glass done, that is a separate quote; this bundle is exterior only. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with the estimate in writing before anyone books a date.

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 customers in Cranston book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, which is why one crew and one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Rhode Island the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit in late October to November. The same two-visit pattern fits residential and commercial glass, since leaves and dust do not check the property type. Those two visits line up with what we find on the glass and in the gutters each season.
In the spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and sticky tree residue packs the downspout elbows. In the fall, the leaf load is what we clear from the gutters, and clogged gutters that freeze over winter can push water under the shingles and cause water damage. The wet leaf mat that sags runs under the weight of ice later on. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks either way, so we book from the house, not the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grime on the outside between visits. Multi-story buildings need more ladder setup, and a three-story house is a longer visit than a ranch. If your house has one of these, we tell you at the first visit. The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only see when the sun is low, and the sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in the rain. If the haze is on the windows inside, that is a different problem, and we will say so. Our crew uses purified water and only mild cleaning solutions on frames, so the glass dries without streaks.
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 Cranston, and the same crew handles every neighborhood in the city. Our cleaning services cover residential properties, condos included. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front; call (866) 435-6328 and we will take it from there. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills, so the sooner you send the photo, the sooner we can schedule service. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew keeps curb appeal in mind on every house. Our professional window cleaning uses a pole and purified water to remove dirt from the glass, so the panes dry without a film. Before we leave we check that every window and sill is done, and that the gutters and downspouts run clear. Plenty of homeowners compare window cleaners on price alone; we would rather you compare the number of stories and windows on the quote.
Yes. Our window and gutter cleaning is one visit by the same two people, and they do the gutters and downspouts first so the runoff does not land on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and the residential window count is the biggest single factor. Text us the story count and a photo of the front, and we will send an exact quote before the visit.
On residential properties and condos alike, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up between visits and can be the reason a window looks hazy even after you clean the inside.
Across Rhode Island the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, so those are the windows to book in. Book early in those months, since the calendar fills.
No. We clear the clogged gutters and flush every downspout first, then give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before we touch the glass. That order keeps the runoff off the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, so they are not billed as extras. The rinse is how we remove dirt from the screens before they go back in. Tracks are included in the bundle on the same visit.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing here.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
