The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We do it that way so the wash water from the roof never lands on clean glass. Both jobs go on one estimate, and together they cost less than booking two separate trips. On our Warwick jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up the most. Give us your stories and a rough window count and we will tell you where you stand.
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, and our window cleaners give one number for both jobs. Booking gutters and exterior windows in one visit is cheaper than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and picture windows add time at the glass, and so does a high window count. Runs of clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something cleaning will not remove, and we say so before the visit. The visit includes flushing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills, and none of it is billed as an extra.
Here is what we mean on a real house. A customer with a two-story home and a lot of glass gets a quote that moves with the number of panes and the state of the gutters, not a flat guess. To get your exact number, text us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to quote you by phone, and nothing is decided until we have seen the house in the photo. Cleaning solutions are not billed separately, and the terms are the same for residential and commercial work in our notes. The quote covers exterior glass only, and we do not price interior and exterior glass as one job on this visit. Booking regular cleanings on a repeat schedule is where window and gutter cleaning keeps the price predictable from one visit to the next.
| 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 customers in Warwick book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our jobs the spring visit lands in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November.
At the spring visit we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters. In the fall we find the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs until it freezes. Winter storms and nor'easters across Rhode Island move the dates a little, so we book around them rather than on a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means clogged gutters again between visits, packed with needles and grit. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and the runoff that dries on the frame adds to the marks. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the usual schedule allows, and the same goes for multi-story buildings. On those houses we suggest a third visit, and the crew will tell you on the first cleaning whether your house is one of them.
You know the glass needs professional window cleaning when haze shows only in low sun, and curb appeal drops with it. Gutters tell you when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout, and that is how water damage starts at the fascia. If you see either, call us and we will look.
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 Warwick and the surrounding area, and the clean windows and gutters on every visit come from the same ladder work. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and a rough window count. We give you a quote by phone or text, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Lead time depends on the calendar, not on the house, and the busy windows are the spring and fall stretches when pollen and leaves are heaviest. Book early in those months and you get a slot that suits you. Outside those windows it is easier to find a date within the next few weeks. We call before we come and confirm the arrival window the day before.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and the outside of every window is done from the ground or a ladder. Whether it is a residential window, one of our residential properties, a multi-story building or condos, the steps are the same: the estimate, the booking, the visit and the photos of every run and every pane after we finish.
Yes. The same crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the roof does not run down onto clean windows.
The number comes from stories and size. Text or call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure.
Here the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, which sit on the glass whatever the inside looks like. Cleaning the outside is how we remove dirt and keep the view clear.
Most of our customers book in the spring and fall. Book before the pollen peak or before the leaves drop, and you get a slot that suits you.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the grit, black water and runoff come down the wall before anyone cleans the windows below.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. Our washing services do not bill any of that as an extra.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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 is all.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
