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 the runoff never lands on clean windows. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Rhode Island, most of our customers book us in the spring and fall, when grime and leaves are heaviest on the 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.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and window washing services together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our window cleaning services are set by the stories and the glass, not by a standard figure, so the quote is specific to your house.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, picture windows and high upper windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with grime, needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Multi-story buildings are priced by the story count, the same as a house, and condos are worth mentioning when you call. The gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are not billed as extras. The windows inside stay as they are, since the price covers the outside glass only.
Across Rhode Island, the fastest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough window count, or call (866) 435-6328. If you want interior and exterior glass done, say so on the call, because our price covers the outside only. We look at the roofline and the glass, then give you the figure before anyone is scheduled. On our jobs, the houses that come in higher than expected almost always have a clogged run or a sprinkler line hitting the glass, and we say so in the quote instead of on the ladder.
| 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.
Across Rhode Island, most customers book the window and gutter cleaning twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs. The spring visit usually lands in late May to June and clears the pollen that settles on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters. The fall visit, in Johnston, usually lands in late October to November and clears the leaf load before the wet months arrive.
On the glass, pollen shows up as a yellow film that rain only smears, and rain does not remove dirt. In the gutters, it dries into a paste that holds water against the fascia. Nor'easters across Rhode Island can move the dates, so we call before we come rather than working to a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. We see it most with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, which leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and with a house close to a busy road or active construction. Those spots need a mineral treatment, since cleaning solutions do not lift them. Our regular cleanings on those houses are scheduled around what the crew finds at the last visit.
You will see when windows need it: haze that only shows when the sun is low, most often on picture windows. You will see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Either one is a reason to call, and we will tell you which visit is next. Clean glass also helps curb appeal, since the front of the house is what people see from the street.
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 cleaning services cover gutters and exterior windows on residential properties across Johnston and the surrounding area. We take calls for residential and commercial buildings, and we say at booking whether the crew can take a given one. We work the same way on every house: estimate, slot, visit, photos. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text to schedule service, where you give us the stories and send a picture of the front of the house, so the crew knows what kind of access it needs before it arrives.
The two busy stretches of the year are the spring window and the late fall leaf drop. In those weeks our calendar fills, so the sooner you book the easier it is to get the date you want. Outside those windows we can usually work the next available slot, and we will tell you the lead time when you call. Each residential window is checked from the outside before the crew moves on, and every window gets its sill wiped.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside and calls before it arrives. Leaves, grime and sprinkler spray all leave their mark on the glass and in the gutters, and a regular cleaning keeps the glass clear and the runs open, so the problems stay small. Plenty of window cleaners stop at the glass and skip the gutters, and clogged gutters that go too long can spill and cause water damage at the fascia and foundation, which is the case that costs the most to fix later. Professional window cleaning and gutter work are done in one visit, so neither gets skipped.
Yes, and it is the same crew. Our two-person crew does the gutters first and the glass last, so the roof, the runs and the downspouts are finished before anyone touches a window.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before we schedule service. The figure you get is the figure you pay.
Yes, because the outside carries the grime, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and none of that is touched by cleaning the inside. Clean windows on the outside also help curb appeal, since they are the part of the house people see from the street.
Across Rhode Island, most of our customers book in spring and fall, once the spring visit window opens and after the leaves come down. The earlier you call to schedule service in those windows, the better the chance of the date you want.
Not with our order of work. Gutters come first and the glass last, so the runoff has finished before anyone cleans a pane. If the glass were washed first, someone would have to wash it again.
Screens are hand-rinsed and the sill is wiped as part of the job, and we will clean the tracks where they are reachable from outside. These are not billed as extras.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and the windows inside the house are not part of the job. We do not do pressure washing as part of this service, and if you want interior and exterior work handled differently, ask when you call and we will tell you what the crew can do.
You do not need to be home for exterior work on residential properties. 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. That is the whole list.
This page is written for residential properties in Johnston. If the building is something other than a house, tell us when you call and we will say whether the crew can take it.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
