Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Danvers jobs most customers book this in the spring and the fall, which is when the pollen and the leaves are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 or tell us the stories and a rough window count, and we will give you the number we will charge.
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 quote the job from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Doing the gutters and the exterior windows together in one visit is the window and gutter bundle, and it costs less than booking the two jobs separately, because the crew sets up once. Quotes that cover interior and exterior glass are a different job, and this one covers the outside only.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same every time. A third story or a steep roof takes more setup. Oversized picture windows and a large count of small panes take longer on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years are packed with seeds and leaf mat, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, since ordinary cleaning solutions do not lift it off the glass. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our crew handles the typical film on the glass and the seed paste in the gutters the same way on every visit. Quotes for residential and commercial buildings are built differently, and the number on this page is for a house. For a Danvers house we want the stories, the window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text before we give a number. That is enough for us to tell you what the visit will cost before we book it.

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 Danvers jobs most customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Here is what we find at each visit. In the spring the pollen film sits on the south-facing glass and the seed paste fills the gutters. In the fall the leaf load comes down and the wet mat packs the downspouts. Wind and storm seasons move the dates a little, so we call before we come. Professional window cleaning keeps the curb appeal of the house up through both seasons.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings, and clogged gutters are the usual result. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we wash them. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film faster than the rest. Multi-story buildings take more ladder time, so the visit runs longer. Those are the houses where the regular cleanings go to three or four times a year.
The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Water sheeting over the edge in a rain is the sign that gutters need it, and left alone it leads to water damage at the wall. Either one means the schedule has moved, and a quick text with a photo is enough for us to say which visit you need next. Haze on the windows inside the house is a separate matter and not part of the outdoor visit.
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 starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give you a number from that, and we set a date within our normal lead time. In the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, the calendar fills first, so an early call gets you the slot you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We schedule service around the house, not the other way round. Each window gets the same attention, whether it is a small kitchen pane or a large upper sash, so the clean windows look the same from the walkway. The sill is wiped on every window, and the tracks are part of the glass job. For window and gutter cleaning on residential properties, the routine is the same from one street to the next, and a residential window gets the same steps as the rest of the house. Some cleaning services book gutters and glass as two calls; this one is a single visit.
Yes, it is the same two people, and they do the gutters first and the glass last in one visit. Doing both together means the crew sets up once for the whole house. Booking the two jobs separately means two trips and two setups.
We do not give a figure in writing for window cleaning services. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front, and we will tell you the number before we book.
Yes, because the outside takes the hit here. Film, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside, along with grime that the inside never sees. Cleaning the inside alone leaves the haze you see when the sun is low.
Most of our Danvers customers book in the spring and the fall. Those are the busy windows, so an early call gets you the date you want. If you are not sure, text us a photo and we will tell you which visit you need.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and runoff come down the wall and across any window below. Every run of gutters and downspouts is cleared before the glass is touched, so nothing is left to wash down onto it.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are part of the glass job, which is how we remove dirt from the frame. None of that is billed as an extra. If a screen is damaged or a track is broken, the crew photographs it and tells you.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not do pressure washing here. Our washing services stop at the glass and the gutters.
You do not need to be home, whether you live in a house or one of the condos, because the crew works outside and does not come inside. 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.
