Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew works through spring and fall, and most of our Dartmouth customers book with us in both seasons.
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.
Our washing services are priced by stories and approximate window count, and the bundle with gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone or by text is the number we charge when we finish, with no add-ons appearing on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what our window cleaners find on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A high window count, or picture windows that take more care, adds time. A run of clogged gutters takes longer to clear, especially gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Our cleaning solutions are chosen to remove dirt and grime from the glass, but hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate matter, since no cleaning removes it, and we tell you so before we start. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping each sill are part of the job, and none of them is billed as an extra.
On our Dartmouth jobs, the quotes that stay tight are the ones where the customer sends a photo of the front of the house and gives us the stories and a rough window count ahead of time. One Dartmouth home we cleaned had three stories, a steep front roof and a lot of glass on the lower floors, and the quote moved up for the extra ladder time that roof required. Getting the exact number starts with the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house, sent by text. Our window and gutter cleaning work covers the whole house in one visit, and we will tell you before the visit if any of the windows need extra attention. Our window cleaning services for residential and commercial jobs follow the same logic, and the same goes for residential properties with a lot of glass, where our crew gives the same honest number either way. Interior and exterior glass are priced as separate jobs, and this page does not replace a real estimate for your house.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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.
The cleaning services we book cover gutters and exterior windows in one visit, and across Massachusetts the spring visits run late May to June while the fall visits run November to early December. What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In late spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load is the main problem, a wet mat that holds water against the fascia, and the runoff from it can sag a run before winter.
Some properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit collect in the downspouts between regular cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust and grime faster than the glass can handle. Nor'easters across Massachusetts can move the dates in a given year, and a gutter that backs up in one can lead to water damage, so we adjust the booking when that happens. Our crew sees these patterns on the houses we clean every season, so the schedule we suggest reflects what is on your roof, not a generic plan.
Two signs tell you the windows need attention: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and streaks that come back quickly after a rain. One sign tells you the gutters need attention: water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout. Those are the cues our crew looks for on every one of these cleanings, and we flag them in the photo report, since clean glass and clear gutters are what keep the curb appeal up between visits.
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 delivers clean windows and clear gutters to houses across Dartmouth on a regular schedule, and we book each visit once we know the stories and the approximate window count. The fastest way to schedule service is a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with a photo of the house front, and we will reply with the estimate and the earliest slot. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen and leaf loads peak, the calendar fills faster, so booking early helps.
We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew never comes inside and leaves the windows inside as they are, and the photo report arrives on your phone before the crew leaves. For a commercial or residential property with a schedule that needs to fit around tenants or occupants, we arrange the visit to suit that routine. We use the same process for every window and gutter job, so a residential window on a single-story home gets the same order of work as a window on one of the multi-story buildings with a lot of glass. Quotes for condos follow the same rule, by stories and window count.
Yes, and it is the same crew. Our two people do the gutters first and the glass last in one visit, so the water and grit from the roof do not run back onto clean windows.
We do not give a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you can get it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with a photo of the front of the house.
Plenty of window cleaners only do the glass, but on our Dartmouth jobs the outside carries most of the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the outside is the part that changes most between visits.
Most of our Dartmouth customers book in late spring and in late fall, when the pollen and leaf loads are heaviest. Booking early in those windows gets you a slot before the calendar fills.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters lands on it, and someone has to wash it again once the gutters are done, which is why we keep the order fixed.
Screens and sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the visit as well, and we will tell you in advance if a track needs extra time.
Our washing services cover the exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. Cleaning interior and exterior glass is a separate job, and we do not do pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers 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.
