Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We always do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. On our Pawtucket jobs, most customers book the spring and fall visits, and the same crew handles both, which keeps the schedule simple.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutter cleaning and professional window cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two separately. Window washing booked alongside it costs less than a second trip, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. A large window count, or oversized panes, adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing and more flushing. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, because no cleaning removes it, and we tell you about it before we start. The price does not cover windows inside the house, and clean glass matters for curb appeal, so the outside is where we spend the time. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our Pawtucket work shows how this plays out. One recent job on a two-story house had a full window count and gutters that had gone several seasons without clearing. The quote reflected those two factors and nothing else. The homeowner saw the photos of each run before we left. To get your exact number, send us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will come back with a figure. Clogged gutters left alone can lead to water damage, which is the main reason we keep the clearing on schedule.

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 of our customers book both cleaning services twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Many residential window owners and owners of residential properties ask us to schedule service for both at once, and we confirm the date when we book. On our Pawtucket jobs, the spring visit catches the pollen that settles on south-facing glass and packs the gutters, and the fall visit clears the leaves before winter weather sets in. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we confirm each visit when we schedule it.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts more debris into the gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that return a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass. In those cases we suggest a third visit, so every window and every gutter run stays in step.
You can tell when windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain. Either way, the first step is a quick look and a call.
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 Pawtucket and books each visit by phone or text. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a date. Booking lead time is set by our calendar, and we will tell you the earliest slot when you call. The busiest stretches of the year are the spring and fall windows, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, so booking early in those periods helps.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the crew leaves. We do washing services and window cleaning services on residential and commercial properties, including multi-story buildings and condos. Picture windows and other large panes are done from the outside with the same pole and water. Our crew cleans gutters and downspouts, clears runoff, and works to remove dirt and grime from the glass and frames.
Yes. Our crew does both, one visit, with the same two people. We do the gutters first and the glass last so the runoff does not hit clean windows. We rinse the glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions.
The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Send us both by text or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the exact figure before we book.
Yes, because the outside takes the hit. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on exterior glass, and picture windows show it most. The inside cannot clean that off. Regular cleanings keep the outside clear.
On our Pawtucket jobs, most customers book in spring and in fall. That lines the visits up with the pollen and leaf drops, so the work is done when it matters most.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters runs down across it, which is why we never reverse the order.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the standard visit as well, so you do not see a separate line item for them.
Exterior only on this visit. Our crew does not clean the interior and exterior of a window as one job, and we do not pressure wash. The outside glass and gutters are what we do.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked, and that covers it.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
