Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing dirty lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit come in below booking two separate trips. Across Rhode Island, most of our customers book the work for spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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.
Professional window cleaning is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. Window washing and gutter work on the same house share one setup, which is where the saving comes from. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it, oversized panes and large window counts, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, and guards we have to lift and reseat before we can clear the run. Clogged gutters are the usual route to water damage at the fascia, so a run that already overflows takes longer and is priced for it. Condos and multi-story buildings are quoted by the building, not the window, because the ladder and pole work changes. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is also a separate call, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside the house are not part of the quote, and clean gutters and glass do a lot for curb appeal from the street.
Across Rhode Island, the quickest route to an exact number is to text us your stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328. With that we can say what the crew will find before anyone climbs a ladder, and the figure holds once the crew is on site.

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 homes get both jobs twice a year, in spring and again in fall, so the two cleanings are usually booked as a pair. Our cleaning services follow that schedule, and one crew in one visit makes sense on a seasonal plan. Spring brings a pollen film on south-facing glass and a paste of grit packed into the gutters. Fall brings the leaf load, and wind and storm seasons can move either date by a few weeks. Regular cleanings in both seasons keep the load from building up between visits.
Houses under heavy tree cover over the roof, houses with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, and houses near a busy road or construction tend to need a third visit. Sprinkler spots show up on every window on the side the line hits, and picture windows show them most because there is more glass to catch the light. The sprinkler spots are the ones that return a day after cleaning, and they are a sign the line needs adjusting. To schedule service, text a photo or call (866) 435-6328.
You know windows need attention when you notice a haze you only see when the sun is low. You know gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain.
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 the outside of residential properties across Rhode Island, and residential and commercial jobs are quoted on separate sheets. The same crew handles the gutters. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. In the busy months, when the leaves are heaviest, the calendar fills, so the sooner you send the details, the sooner a slot can be held. The crew handles grime and debris on the gutters and downspouts, clears runoff paths, and does not leave dirt on the sill. Our washing services also remove dirt from the frames, so clean windows dry without streaks, and the whole outside of the house gets the same care.
Yes, it is the same crew. Our two-person crew does the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from your stories and the size of the house. Send us those details by phone or text and we will give you a figure.
Usually yes on the outside, because rain dust and sprinkler spots build up there, and cleaning the inside never reaches them. Picture windows show that buildup most, since they hold the most glass in view.
Across Rhode Island, most customers book in spring and fall, which are the two times the leaves and grit are heaviest. Regular cleanings in those seasons keep the load from building up.
No, because we clear the gutters first and wait a few minutes before touching the glass. If the glass were washed first, someone would have to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the same visit, and we use no cleaning solutions on the glass, only purified water.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, 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, 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.
