Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Rhode Island, most of our window and gutter work lands in the spring and fall, when the grime and the leaves are at their worst.
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 window washing and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking our washing services and gutter cleaning as two trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the figure before anyone is booked.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means the boom or scissor lift goes up, and multi-story buildings take longer on the lift. Each residential window counts toward the time on the glass, and oversized panes take longer. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleared in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Interior and exterior windows are different jobs, and this quote covers the exterior only. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Most of the homes we clean come down to one question: how many stories, and how many windows, including picture windows and the ones in the back. That is why we ask for a photo of the front of the house. Condos get the same count, by stories and windows, before anyone is booked. Across Rhode Island, the houses that cost the most to clean tend to be the ones that were never cleaned on a regular schedule, because a neglected gutter means more time on the ladder. Ask for a regular cleanings plan and we will show you how the cost falls when the work is kept up. Whatever the number, you get a written estimate before the crew comes out, and the cleanings you book are the ones you approve.

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 North Providence customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Rhode Island, the spring visit comes late May to June; the fall visit comes late October to November, after the leaves are down and before the first hard freeze.
In the spring we find pollen on the south-facing glass and a sticky film packed into the gutter elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the gutters and runs out over the sill when it rains. The window and gutter work done in both seasons keeps the runoff from staining the glass below. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road all mean a third visit is worth it. Clogged gutters that go unchecked for a season can lead to water damage behind the fascia, and that is the outcome we work to prevent.
The sign the windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign the gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in the rain. If you see either, call us before the next storm, not after.
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 crews clean the exterior of residential properties across North Providence, and on many streets our window cleaners are a regular sight. The booking is the same for residential and commercial exteriors. Book cleaning services by phone or by text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will set the date with you. Lead times vary with the season, and in the spring and fall our calendar fills faster than in winter, so it helps to call early. We call before we come, every time, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our professional window cleaning services include every window on the house, the sill under each one, and the frames, so the curb appeal of the outside holds up between visits. When you schedule service with us, the crew arrives with the lift and the water-fed pole and works the house from the outside in. Purified water is the only thing that goes on the glass, so no cleaning solutions are left to streak. We check each run and each downspout before the crew leaves, and the rinse is there to remove dirt before it reaches the glass.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, and they do the gutters first so the runoff never reaches the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the front, and you will have the figure before the crew is booked.
Yes, because the outside carries the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, which the inside never sees. Clean glass inside will still look hazy from outside.
Across Rhode Island, the spring visit runs late May to June and the fall visit late October to November. Those windows match the pollen and the leaf drop.
No, because the gutters are cleared first and the glass last. Water from a cleared run has nothing left to carry onto the panes below.
Screens are rinsed, and the sills are wiped as part of the job, so you will not see them billed separately.
No, this visit is exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
