Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the roof splashes onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and the fall, and we tell you the exact date when you call.
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 window washing services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booked together in one visit, the bundle costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Regular cleanings on a house that is kept up tend to run shorter than a first visit to one that has gone a long time between visits, because the runs are already clear.
On our jobs, the quote moves with a few things the crew finds on the day. Setup takes longer on a third story and on multi-story buildings with a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it. A large number of oversized panes, picture windows included, adds time at the glass, and a residential window set high above a porch roof takes a longer setup. Gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear, and clogged gutters that have sat through a wet season are where the price creeps up most. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are added to the time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is something cleaning will not remove, so we note it and tell you before the work starts. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The price covers the exterior glass and the gutters; interior and exterior glass are priced as two different jobs.
Here is an example from one of our East Longmeadow jobs. The house had a full set of gutters that had gone without a clean for a long stretch, and a row of picture windows across the back that had collected a season of dust and grime. Clearing the runs and flushing each downspout took most of the first half-day, and the glass followed once the wall had dried. The crew also had to remove dirt from the frames first. That is the kind of house where the two jobs together make more sense than the windows alone. If you want your own number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with your stories and rough window count, and we will reply with an exact price.

|---|---|---|---|
| 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.
Most of our East Longmeadow customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Massachusetts the same rhythm holds, with the dates shifting a little with the weather.
In the spring, the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters, so the spring visit is the one where the glass looks dullest and the runs carry the most seed and grit. Clean glass does a lot for curb appeal at that point, since the film shows most from the street. In the fall, the leaf load is the main thing we clear, and the wet leaf mat is what we find on the runs that were skipped. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, and we adjust the booking to match.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof sends needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters left through a wet season are the usual route to water damage on the fascia, so those customers are on more often. A house that shares a roof line with condos or townhouses often has runs that drain into the same downspout, so we check those before we start. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them, and those houses need a closer look too. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames and sills between visits.
We do not need a rule for everyone. The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge during 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.
Our crew has cleaned houses on streets in East Longmeadow, and we are happy to talk through your street on the phone. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will reply with the number we will charge. Our lead time is shown on the booking page, and we will tell you the next open slot when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills fastest for both gutter cleaning and window cleaning. Booking early in those windows gets you a date you can plan around. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and our crew calls before they come, so you know when to expect them. Our window cleaning services cover the full outside of the house in one trip, from every window to the sill and the gutter line. A clean outside also does the most for curb appeal, so this is the visit most homeowners book first.
We work with homeowners who want professional window cleaning and gutter work from a single crew, and we keep the same window cleaners on the route each season so the work stays consistent. We clean residential properties, and we also handle residential and commercial buildings with the same two questions for the quote: stories and window count. If you are planning ahead, call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service and we will hold a date for you.
Yes. The two-person crew that cleans your gutters is the same one that cleans the outside of your windows, in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not end up on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Text us a photo of the front of the house with those two details, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the price before anyone comes out.
Usually yes, because the outside takes the hit. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the exterior glass, and those build up faster than anything indoors. Cleaning the outside alone still makes a visible difference to the view.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall. The spring visit deals with pollen and seed in the runs, and the fall visit deals with the leaf load. Book early in either window, since those are the months our calendar fills.
Not on our jobs, because we clear the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. Once the runs are clear and the wall has a few minutes to stop dripping, the glass is washed without grime coming back down onto it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included on the visit. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions to remove dirt from the glass, so nothing is left to streak, and you will see the results in the photos we send after the work.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. The crew does not wash windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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.
