Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Boston jobs, most customers book it in the spring and fall, when leaves have built up on the house.
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 window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The same numbers set the price for professional window cleaning and gutter work, and the figure we give on the phone is the figure we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, 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. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and that is part of why the bundle is worth booking.
On one recent Boston job, a house with a lot of glass and heavy tree cover needed more time in the gutters than the front of the house suggested, and the window count was higher than the customer first guessed. Water damage had already started at one corner, so the crew flagged clogged gutters and the window cleaners worked the glass after the runs were clear. The fastest way to get your exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories and a rough window count.

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 Boston jobs, most customers book both cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across the spring and fall visits we see the same pattern: pollen film on the south-facing glass and a wet mat of grit and leaves in the gutters, then a heavy leaf load once the trees turn. Each residential window on a two-story house gets checked from the pole, and every window on the outside gets the same attention as the gutters above it.
Storm and wind seasons move those dates, so we adjust the calendar to what the house actually collected rather than to a fixed week. Most customers schedule service for spring and fall. Some houses need a third visit on top of the regular cleanings: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass so the spots come back a day later, or a house near a busy road or construction. For those, the crew keeps the same booking so the gutters and glass stay on one schedule.
You will see haze on the windows only when the sun is low, and that is the sign the glass needs a visit. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the 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.
Booking with us starts with a quick estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our lead time is short, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring and fall leaf seasons, so ask early if you want a set date. Call (866) 435-6328 to ask about open dates.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so the arrival time is not a guess. We cover residential properties and condos. For residential and commercial jobs alike, we use the same washing services and window cleaning services, and multi-story buildings are booked when the building is a fit.
We clean the gutters and downspouts, clear the grime and runoff from the sills and frames, and remove dirt from the glass with purified water so it dries clean. Where grime sits on a sill or frame, the crew uses cleaning solutions, and the glass itself is rinsed with purified water.
Yes, our crew does both in one visit. Gutters are cleared first and the glass is done last, so nothing dirty from the runs lands on the clean windows.
We do not quote a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before anyone is booked.
Usually the outside carries the most of it here. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior, and those are the marks visitors see first on picture windows.
Most of our Boston customers book in the spring and in the fall, after the spring bloom and again after the leaves come down. Ask us for the next open date when you call (866) 435-6328.
No, we clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the runs has already drained before anyone touches the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on exterior work and are not billed as extras.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only, and the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do interior and exterior glass on the same visit, and we do not pressure wash. Text a photo of the roofline if you want to know what we can reach.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
