Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall rounds across Massachusetts, and most of the homes we clean get both in the same visit. Tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will give you the number on the phone.
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. Our crew does professional window cleaning and the gutters in one visit, and booking the gutters and the exterior glass together costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift for the back runs. Window washing time follows the window count, and big picture windows take longer on the glass side. Gutters not cleaned in years, or clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes, and we tell you about it before we start. A gutter that overflows onto the siding can mean water damage behind it, and we flag that on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
A recent example from our Amherst Town work: a two-story house with a long run of windows on the sprinkler side and gutters that had gone several seasons without a clearing. The sprinkler spotting was flagged on the first visit, and the gutter run was the larger part of the time. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote, or send a photo of the front of your house by text. Clean glass and clear gutters do most of the work for curb appeal, and the photo lets us tell you what will drive the number before anyone climbs a ladder.

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 Amherst Town book both jobs twice a year, once in late May or June and once in October or early November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our jobs in those months, the film of spring dust is heavy on south-facing glass and the sticky tree residue packs into the gutters, and by fall the leaf load is the bigger problem. Most residential properties on that schedule do better when every window is done on the same visit, so the clean windows stay clean longer than they do after a partial job.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little. A house under heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction tends to need a third visit, because the spots that come back a day later and the grit that packs the downspouts build up between rounds. For those houses, regular cleanings in the middle of the season are the easiest way to keep the spots from setting, and it is worth asking us for that third round when you book the first.
One customer on the twice-a-year schedule has no trees and a simple roofline. Another, on three or four visits, sits under mature cover with sprinkler spotting on the sill side. Both are on the same crew, same process, different calendar. You can see how the schedule works for each in the cases we have written up.
The sign the windows need it is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign the gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in 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.
We have cleaned gutters and exterior glass across the neighborhoods of Amherst Town, and booking with us is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will send an estimate. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we tell you the next open slot when you call.
The two busy windows are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, when our calendar fills fastest. Book early in those months, and schedule service before the open slots go. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know when the crew is on the way.
Our crew handles residential window cleaning services and gutter jobs on homes and on multi-story buildings, and we take the whole exterior in one visit. Our washing services are for residential and commercial properties, including condos, and the crew checks the gutters and downspouts on every visit. On the homes we clean, the grime on the sill, the runoff stains under the gutters and the water spots left by sprinklers are the things we remove, and on every window we do, the crew also works to remove dirt from the frames.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters never lands on clean glass.
We do not quote a range here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before the visit. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs in Amherst Town, the outside carries the film of spring dust, the rain dust, and the sprinkler spots, none of which the inside cleaning touches. Picture windows show it most, because the big panes catch the haze. The glass looks different once the outside is done.
Most of our Amherst Town customers book in late May or June for the spring round and in October or early November for the fall round. Booking early in those months keeps you ahead of the pollen and leaf seasons.
Not on our jobs. We clear the roof, the gutters and the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass, so the grit has nowhere to run onto the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are done as part of the exterior visit, with cleaning solutions used on the frames and sills. Downspout flushing is included as well, and none of those are billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing either. The crew does not touch the windows inside your house, and if you want interior and exterior glass on one booking, ask us about it when you call.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, 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.
