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 an approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. On our Middletown jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when March, April and October, the wettest months here, leave the most grime and leaves on the glass and in the gutters.
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.

On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof means a longer setup, and multi-story buildings take the most time to set up. A large window count or oversized panes take more time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not something cleaning removes, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Gutters and downspouts are where most of the time goes on a quote.
The houses we see most often here have a film of grime on the glass by late spring and a wet leaf mat in the gutters in fall. Our crew is at its busiest in those windows, so the quote for a house with a lot of debris in the gutters is usually one of the more involved ones we give. A customer can text a photo of the front of the house and the number of stories, and we will tell you where the price lands. Ask for a written estimate before we book, and we will send it the same day. Call (866) 435-6328 to get started. Our cleaning solutions are the same on every job, and they help remove dirt and the pollen film on picture windows. Our cleaning services for Middletown homes start with the number of stories, and the price is set before the crew arrives. Residential and commercial buildings are both on our schedule, and our cleanings are done the same way on each, whether it is professional window cleaning or gutters. Interior and exterior glass is not part of this visit; we clean the outside only. Ask us about regular cleanings if your house is under trees.

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 Middletown customers book both twice a year. Across Rhode Island the spring visit runs late May to June, and the fall visit runs November to early December, after the leaves come down. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the outside of the house.
In spring, the glass carries a film of grime, especially on south-facing windows, and the gutters hold pollen paste that packs the downspout elbows. In fall, the leaf load is the main job. A wet mat sitting in the gutters through winter lets runoff spill over the edge and into the fascia, and that is how water damage starts. With freeze risk here, a clogged run can also ice up. Across Rhode Island, nor'easters can move the dates, so we look at the house before setting the second visit.
Some houses need a third visit. Those are the ones with heavy tree cover over the roof, the ones with clogged gutters that were never cleared, the houses with a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day after cleaning), and the houses close to a busy road or active construction. On our jobs the difference is clear within a year of cleaning, and the curb appeal comes back with it.
Windows need another cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Our cleaning services cover both, and the professional window cleaning goes on the same visit.
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 work across Middletown and clean residential properties on a regular schedule. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate that uses the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead times are set by our calendar, and the busy stretches are the spring visits across Rhode Island, late May to June, and the fall visits, November to early December, when slots fill faster. If you need a slot in one of those windows, call (866) 435-6328 early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, so the windows inside stay as they are, and you can schedule service around your day. We aim to clean every window and every gutter run on the visit, and the photos of the finished work, including the clean windows, are sent before the crew leaves. Residential window and gutter cleaning is what most of our Middletown work covers, and we include the sill on each window as part of the job.
Yes. Most window cleaners stop at the glass, but we clean the gutters first and the glass last with the same crew, so the runoff from the gutters never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories, the window count and the gutters and downspouts on the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details.
On our Middletown jobs, the outside carries the grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and that hurts the curb appeal from the street even when the inside is clean.
Across Rhode Island the spring visit runs late May to June, and most of our Middletown customers book the fall visit for November to early December, after the leaves are down.
No. We clear the gutters first and flush the downspouts to remove dirt, then give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before we touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
This visit covers exterior glass only, so windows inside are not part of it. Our window cleaning services cover the glass, and our washing services on this visit stop at the glass and the gutters. Pressure washing is not included.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. If you live in a condo, check with the building before the visit, since the gutters may not be yours to book. Text the crew a photo of the roofline if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
