The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips.
We run this bundle across Rhode Island, and on our South Kingstown jobs most people book it for spring and fall. You get the same crew on the ladder from the estimate to the final photos.
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 quote gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Booking our window cleaning services and the gutter work in one visit costs less than booking them separately, and we give you the exact saving on your quote. Starting prices reflect the common cases, and your house gets its own number from the stories and size you give us. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through it.
What moves the quote on the day is what our crew finds. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the lift, and a window count that includes oversized panes takes longer per pane. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more work before the flush. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain no cleaning removes, so we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras.
For most of our South Kingstown customers, the price question is really a question about how much of the house is involved. We look at the front of the house in your photo and ask about the stories before we give a number, so you are not surprised on the day. Text us a photo of the front of the house and the number of stories, and we will work out a number from there. Our washing services start with the outside glass, and it is the part most people already expect. The cleanings we do on the outside of the house are scheduled around the same calendar as the gutters, so it is one visit and one bill. We do not clean interior and exterior at the same visit, so the interior is outside this quote. Picture windows take longer than standard sashes, so window washing on them is priced separately within the same visit. Most homeowners who book regular cleanings find the bundle is the simplest way to keep up with both.
| 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.
Most of our South Kingstown customers book both twice a year, once in late May or June after the spring bloom, and once in late October or early November after the leaves have dropped. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the two services. The spring visit clears the pollen film off south-facing glass and the paste from the gutter elbows, while the fall visit deals with the wet leaf mat and the clogged gutters that sit in the runs over the winter.
The yellow film is what we see most on the glass in the spring, and it is also the reason the gutter elbows fill up so fast. A window that looks clean from the street can still carry a yellow haze once the sun is low, and that film is what the spring visit is for. The leaf load in the fall is heavier on houses with trees close to the roof, and those gutters often hold water through the first freeze if they have not been cleared. Storm seasons and wind can move the dates, so we confirm each visit with you the week before.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime on the glass, and those customers ask for a third visit in the middle of the season. The lift time grows on multi-story buildings, and the same is true of residential and commercial jobs with a lot of glass. We set the schedule after the first visit, based on what the gutters and the glass show us, and the cleaning solutions we choose depend on how much grime is on the panes.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low, and the sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, the first step toward water damage on the wall below. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so the haze you see from the street is the outside glass. If you see either one between visits, call us and we will schedule a visit that fits your calendar.
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 cleans gutters and windows across South Kingstown, and we work with homeowners who want one visit for the exterior of the house. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, where you tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. The estimate lets us give you a number before we schedule anything, so there are no surprises when the crew arrives.
Lead time depends on the season, and in the two busy windows of the year, when the spring and fall loads peak, our calendar fills up faster than the rest of the year. Booking early in those months gets you a slot that works for your schedule. We call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We are a professional window cleaning crew that works on every window we clean, and we do the gutters in the same visit. If you want the outside of your house cleaned in one trip without a second visit, we can schedule service that covers both. Our cleaning services stay focused on the exterior, so the curb appeal of the house is what you see from the street after we leave. We check the sill and the frame on every window, and we work through every window on the list before the crew packs up.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We do the gutters and downspouts first, and the glass comes last, so the runoff does not end up on clean panes.
We quote residential properties by the stories and the size of the house, and we give the number by phone or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the front, and we will quote it before we book.
Yes, because the outside of a residential window carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits. On our South Kingstown jobs the outside glass is where most of the haze comes from, and the inside stays clean on its own.
Most customers here book in late May or June and again in late October or early November. Those are the two busiest times for leaves and grit, so booking early in those months gets you a slot that fits.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. We remove dirt from the runs and the downspouts before anything reaches the glass, and once the runs are cleared the wall has time to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill those as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and condos with many small tracks take a little longer, which we tell you on the estimate.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so interior windows and pressure washing are not part of the job. If you want the inside done, let us know and we can tell you what we can and cannot do.
No, you do not need to be home, because our crew works outside and does not come inside. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, 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.
