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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Rhode Island, spring and fall are when most of our customers book, and we know what the glass and the gutters carry at each of those seasons.
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. Set against a quote for professional window cleaning alone, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The price covers the glass on the outside only, so the windows inside stay out of the quote and out of the visit. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate from those details.
On the day, the crew looks for what actually drives the quote. Stories and steep roofs need the boom or scissor lift and more time on the ladder. Window count and picture windows change how many passes the glass takes, since a large pane takes longer to rinse evenly. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and when a run is blocked the runoff spills over the edge instead of reaching the downspouts. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time that we note before we start. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, so we flag it on the visit rather than billing a surprise. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our Scituate work follows the same pattern. Houses with the most glass and the tallest walls ask for a closer look at the quote, and their owners tend to see the biggest difference from bundling. Plenty of window cleaners who only do the glass leave the gutters for a second trip, and the bundle covers both in the same visit. The clogged gutters we see most often have sat through a full season, and the water damage behind them shows up on the fascia and the window frames below. Cleaning them on time keeps that from starting. For the glass, our crew works from the outside with a water-fed pole, so curb appeal comes back without any work inside the house. Window washing from the pole is quick on a one-story home and takes longer on multi-story buildings, which is why we quote by height.
| 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, our spring visits run late May to June and our fall visits run late October to November, and most of our customers book both, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Our cleaning services are timed around those two windows. In spring the pollen film is thick on south-facing glass, so every window on that side gets the first pass, and the pollen paste sits in the gutters, which is the first thing we clear. In fall the leaf load is the job, and the wet leaf mat is what sags a run under the first ice. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we keep an eye on the forecast and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, so those customers are on every three to four months, and regular cleanings keep the gutters from holding water. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than one on a quiet street, with a dusty sill to show for it. Those are the cases where we suggest more frequent visits on our own jobs, not as a rule.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspouts. Our schedule service is built around those two signs as much as the calendar, and we keep clean windows on the same visit as the gutters so the glass is not dirtied again by the run we just cleared.
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 window cleaning services cover residential properties across Scituate, from single-family homes to townhouses and condos, and every residential window on the outside of the house gets done from the pole. We also clean the gutters of commercial buildings when a site needs it, and our washing services follow the same method for residential and commercial work. The estimate starts with a call or a text: give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you the rough window count and the time it will take. Lead time depends on the season and the calendar, and we say the date on the phone rather than promising a slot we cannot keep.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall stretches named above, when the pollen drop and the leaf drop both land on our calendar at once. Booking early in those months gives you more choice of day. We price interior and exterior glass as two separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior glass and gutters only, so nobody needs to be home for the work. We call before we come, so you know when the truck is on the way.
On the day, the gutters and downspouts come first. The runoff goes down the outlet and not across the glass, and the crew clears the frames and sills to remove dirt and grime before any pane is touched. Then the crew rinses every window on the house from the pole with purified water and no cleaning solutions.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the roof never lands on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a range without those details.
On our Scituate jobs the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those build up faster than the inside gets dirty. Cleaning the outside keeps the glass from clouding in the low sun, and that is where the visit starts.
Across Rhode Island, spring visits run late May to June, when pollen settles on the glass, and fall visits run late October to November. Heavy tree cover calls for regular cleanings every three to four months. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar for either window.
No, that is the reason we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Picture windows are cleaned in the same visit, and oversized panes change how many passes the glass takes, which the number on the phone already includes.
This visit is exterior only. We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing. The outside glass is done from a water-fed pole with no cleaning solutions left on the panes to rinse off. Text a photo of the roofline if you want to know what we would see on your house.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. Ask for a written estimate and book a date when it suits you.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
