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 dirty 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 been doing this work across Rhode Island for years, and most of our Newport East customers book it every spring and fall. We clean the outside of the glass only on this visit.
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 professional window cleaning and gutter work 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. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge for window washing and gutters, with no add-ons appearing later. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that is slower to work, a large count of window panes or oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our window cleaners work the outside of the glass only, so windows inside the house stay out of the number. A clean front also does more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
Our Newport East work shows how much these details matter. One house we cleaned had clogged gutters that held the wet leaf mat over the back run, and the window count was high enough that the quote changed once we walked the lot. Before we give a number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we can get you the exact figure. Water damage shows up fast when gutters back up, so catching clogged gutters early keeps the quote simple.

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 Newport East customers book both gutters and exterior glass twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky film packed in the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load and the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed day. Some houses need a third visit: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass so the spots come back a day later, or a house near a busy road or construction. Our cleaning services for gutters and glass run on the same schedule, so every window and every sill is handled at the same visit. Each residential window gets the same pass as the rest of the house, and we clean residential properties this way throughout. Regular cleanings keep the schedule simple: across Rhode Island, spring visits run late May to June, and fall visits run November to early December. Two cleanings a year is the pattern most of our customers keep, and most want clean windows before the spring light shows the dust film. To schedule service before the leaf drop, text us the number of stories and a photo of the front. Watch for haze on the glass that only shows when the sun is low, and for water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain. Either sign means it is time to book service.
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 works across Newport East and clean a mix of single-family homes and buildings with washing services and window cleaning services scheduled per visit. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our lead time depends on the calendar, and in the busy spring and fall windows our slots fill. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. We handle grime, runoff from the roof and dirt that builds up on the glass and the frames. For gutters and downspouts we clear each run and flush it so water exits cleanly, and we will remove dirt from the sills as part of the visit. The gutters-first order applies to residential and commercial jobs alike, and multi-story buildings are priced by stories, the same as a house. Our crew covers the exterior only, so the interior and exterior of a building are booked as two separate jobs. Condos with several units are scheduled as one job so the crew can work each side in turn.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the dirty runoff from landing on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. We do not guess from the street. Send a photo of the front of the house and we tell you the figure before we book.
Yes, because the outside carries the rain dust and sprinkler spotting that build up here. Interior glass is a separate matter, and on this visit we clean the exterior only. Picture windows and the rest of the outside glass take the same weather, so the outside needs the work most.
Most of our Newport East customers book in spring and in fall. Spring catches the pollen drop and fall catches the leaf load, so those are the two visits that matter most.
Not if we follow our order. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff is cleared before anyone touches a pane. We rinse with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left on the glass to streak. Clean the glass first and it gets dirty again on the way down.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. They are not billed as extras, so the number we give you covers them.
This visit covers exterior glass only, and we never quote the interior and exterior of a house as one job. We do not do pressure washing either, so if you need that, ask us and we point you to another service.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
