Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single 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 the two jobs separately. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book it in spring and fall, once each season.
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, a bundled visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Pricing starts from the figure we give you when you call (866) 435-6328, and the bundle saving is applied to your quote as it is calculated. Window cleaning services and washing services for a house this size are quoted as one visit, so the window washing and the gutter work share one price.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to set up safely. A large window count, oversized panes and picture windows add time at the glass. Condos with several stories of glass take longer than a single house with the same window count. Heavy buildup takes more time to remove dirt from each pane. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles, seeds and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the labor. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is a separate issue that no cleaning removes, and we will tell you so before the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Massachusetts, the fastest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and a rough window count. We will check the gutter run, the roofline and the glass from that photo and confirm the price in writing before we book. Most quotes move very little from the phone estimate once the photo is in hand, and the number we confirm is the number on the invoice. The crew arrives with what it needs to remove dirt and grime from the glass and to flush runoff out of the gutters and downspouts without making a mess of the siding or the walk.

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.
On our Amesbury Town jobs, most customers book the window and gutter visit twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and one crew does both in one visit. Pollen is the spring reason. Through late spring, south-facing glass picks up a yellow film, and the gutters hold a paste of seed and dust on top of the seed drop. In fall the leaves come down, and the wet leaf mat that forms in the gutters is what we clear first.
Storm and wind seasons shift the dates. Nor'easters across Massachusetts can strip leaves into the gutters early or knock a downspout loose, so we look at the house as we find it rather than working from a calendar alone. What we find at each visit is the amount of material in each run, how the downspout outlets are holding, and whether the glass has a film that rain alone will not take off.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round white spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house beside a busy road or an active construction site picks up grit faster than a quiet street. Those are the houses we talk to about regular cleanings rather than a fixed twice-yearly visit.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The cleaning solutions we use are matched to what is on the glass, whether that is pollen film, road grit or a mineral spot, and the same check applies to residential and commercial buildings alike. A haze can sit on the interior and exterior glass for different reasons, and this visit covers only the outside. Gutters tell you the same way: water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout. When you see either one, that is the time to book, whatever the calendar says.
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 Amesbury Town and the surrounding area, and we book cleaning services on a set calendar that fills during the two busy windows of the year. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories. Lead time varies by season, and we will tell you the next open date when you call. The window cleaners on each visit are the same two crew members who will do your gutter run, so the work is consistent from the first pass to the last.
Professional window cleaning on a house this size is a matter of getting the glass and the gutters done in the right order. Before the first ladder goes up, the crew checks every window on the house for screens, sills and frames. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit. The crew works from a boom or scissor lift where the roofline calls for one, and from the ground or a ladder where it does not. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we text the photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the truck leaves.
We work with clogged gutters, leaves packed into a downspout, and runoff that has been pooling against a foundation, because water damage often starts there. We also clean the grime that builds up on multi-story buildings and on the upper floors of older homes, where a ladder is not safe and a lift is the right tool. Our goal is to protect the curb appeal of the house and to keep the water moving away from the walls.
Yes. The same two people do the window and gutter cleaning in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That way nothing dirty from the gutters runs back onto the glass after it has been washed.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. Doing both in one visit costs less than two separate trips.
In Amesbury Town the outside of a residential window carries tree dust in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up over time. Those are the things that make even clean windows look hazy from the room, so the outside is where the work starts.
Across Massachusetts most of our customers book in spring and fall, once each season, and that is when our calendar fills. Booking early in either window gives residential properties the most options on the date.
No. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass. Doing it in the other order means the glass gets washed twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the visit as well. Those are not billed as separate extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing. If you need either, tell us when you book and we will say whether we can add it.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
