Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Newton jobs most customers book it in the spring and the fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest on the glass and in the gutters.
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.
Your price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing the gutters and the windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our window washing follows the same logic, and the washing services that go with it are already in that number. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with leaves, needles and grime, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We flush each downspout until the water runs clear, rinse the screens, and wipe the sills as we go.
On a Newton job the experience that matters most is getting the exact number. Text us the front of the house, the number of stories, and a rough window count, and we will give you a firm figure before we book. One recent Newton job shows the pattern: the house had a full row of picture windows on the second floor and a gutter run that had not been cleared in several years, and that combination is what set its quote. The film on the upper glass and the packed elbows at the downspouts were the same two things we find across this area in spring, which is why the crew did the glass and the gutters on one ladder setup.
Some Newton houses carry a heavier load than others. Where condos or a multi-unit property sit under heavy tree cover, the gutters and downspouts run dirtier than average, and the runoff from them can stain the glass below. Residential properties with the same tree cover get the same check. We account for that in the estimate so you see it before the crew arrives. The crew will also remove dirt from the sills and frames rather than only the pane, because that is what keeps the glass clean between visits. Residential and commercial quotes are priced on their own, and the figures here are for houses.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Newton customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep the two jobs from building up. In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the sticky paste packs into the gutter elbows, so the first visit of the year is usually the heaviest one. The fall visit clears the leaf load before the first hard freeze and keeps the runs from sagging under ice.
Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we confirm the window with you when you call rather than pinning a date a month ahead. Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or an active construction site collects more dust on the frames. The crew picks its cleaning solutions on the day, based on what is on the frames and the glass. On those houses our customers book on a shorter cycle, and we tell you which cycle your lot needs after the first visit.
Here is how the pair looks on two real Newton jobs. One customer with no trees over the roof books both services twice a year and has held that schedule for several seasons. A second customer, with mature trees over the back run and a sprinkler line on the front windows, is on three or four visits a year for the same two services.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running into the downspout.
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.
We have cleaned gutters and exterior windows across most of Newton, and we book them as one visit where the house allows it. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm the slot before the crew is sent out. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the realistic window when you call rather than promising a day we cannot hold.
The two busy stretches of the year are the spring rush and the fall leaf drop. During those weeks our calendar fills, so the sooner you call, the sooner the crew can come out. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. The crew does not come inside.
Our cleaning services are built for the outside of the house: the glass that drives curb appeal, the gutters that carry water away from the foundation, and the clogged gutters that cause water damage at the fascia. We work as professional window cleaners on the exterior and treat each house as the job it is, from a single-storey ranch to larger multi-story buildings. Our window cleaning services run as one visit, and professional window cleaning on the exterior is the core of each one.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff from the gutters never lands on clean panes.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and tell us the stories, and we send a firm figure before we book.
Yes, because on a residential window the outside takes the hardest hits here: film from the air, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Clean inside glass cannot hide a haze on the outside that you only see when the sun is low.
Most of our Newton customers book in late spring, and again in late fall after the leaves come down. We confirm the exact window when you call at (866) 435-6328.
Not on our jobs. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves, grit and black water come down before anyone touches the windows, and nothing dirty lands on the clean windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped on every window that has them, as part of the job. Tracks are included on the standard visit; we only tell you about anything that needs more work.
Not on this visit. Windows inside are not part of this booking, and interior and exterior work is scoped separately. We clean the exterior glass only and do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, 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.
