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 the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Rhode Island, most of our customers book it in the spring and fall, and our East Providence calendar follows the same pattern, so tell us your stories and an approximate window count 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 each residential window and gutter job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, multi-story buildings that take longer on the ladder, a large count of window washing jobs on oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes.
Gutters and downspouts are cleared on every visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our washing services cover the exterior glass only on this visit, and that is also the scope of our window cleaning services, so there is no separate line for interior and exterior work unless you ask for it as a different job. This page prices houses only, and residential and commercial jobs get their own quote. The crew checks each run before it starts, and most quotes stay close to the number we gave by phone because we already counted the stories and the window count.
For getting an exact number, send us a photo of the front of the house by text along with the number of stories and a rough window count. A photo tells us more about the grime on the glass and the state of the gutters than any description can, and it lets us tell you before we come whether anything needs a second visit. A house with regular cleanings on a schedule usually comes in lower than one that has gone years without, because the gutters are lighter to clear and the glass is not caked on.

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 Rhode Island, most customers book their window and gutter visit twice a year, in late May or June and again in late October or November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the schedule. The spring and fall visits follow the same rhythm across the state, and the timing shifts a little with storm season and nor'easters. In the spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters, and in the fall it is the leaf load and wet leaf mat that the crew has to clear before the first hard freeze.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof need more visits. Needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, so those customers are on a three or four month cycle, and clogged gutters are the first thing we see go wrong on those roofs. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects a film on the glass faster than most. Those are the cases where a third visit pays off, and we tell you which of these your lot needs after the first visit.
You can tell windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low, and you can tell gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspouts. Water damage at the fascia usually starts there, which is why we check the runs before anything else.
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 cleans gutters and windows on residential properties across East Providence and the area around it, and we give an estimate by phone or text using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our window cleaners work from the outside with a water-fed pole, and add cleaning solutions only where a film will not rinse off, so nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come. Our professional window cleaning is done in one visit with the gutters first and the glass last, which keeps the job to one setup per side of the house.
Booking slots fill up in the two busy windows of the year, the spring rush and the fall leaf season, so if you want a particular week, call early in those months. Lead time varies with the calendar, and we will tell you the date we can offer when you call. Whatever the date, the crew checks every window and every gutter run, rinses to remove dirt, and tells you what they find before they leave.
A clean exterior adds to curb appeal, and it also keeps the glass and the gutters from carrying grime into the next season. If you want to schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will set a time that fits.
Yes, our crew does both. Every residential window job on houses and condos includes the gutters, done in one visit with gutters first and glass last, so the dirty runoff does not end up on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you the figure before we come.
Yes, because the outside carries the spring haze, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits. The inside can look fine while the exterior glass still shows haze when the sun is low.
Across Rhode Island, most customers book in late spring and again in late fall, after the spring haze settles and after the leaves come down. The visits follow the same pattern across the state.
No, we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, the grit and the black water come down the wall, so the glass has to wait until those are rinsed off.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included on the exterior side. None of these is billed as a separate extra.
We do not clean the glass on windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not pressure wash. The exterior glass is our scope, and interior work is a separate job we can quote if you ask.
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.
