Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book this work in the spring and fall, and we keep the same crew on the house from the first run to the last pane.
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. Booking gutters and windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized panes such as picture windows, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and cleaning solutions for the frames are included in the price rather than billed as extras.
Across Massachusetts, the fastest way to get an exact number is to send us your stories, your approximate window count and a photo of the front of the house by text. Houses with heavy clogged gutters take longer to clear, and older frames can show water damage that we photograph and report before the crew leaves. Residential properties and multi-story buildings both follow the same method, so the estimate you get is built the same way.
We use window washing as the everyday name for this, and our window cleaners work the same way whether the job is one floor or three. Our professional window cleaning keeps the glass clean and the frames intact, which protects your curb appeal between visits. Windows inside are not part of this visit.

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 jobs in Massachusetts, most of our customers book both gutter and window cleanings twice a year, in the spring and the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for these cleaning services. We see it on the glass: the pollen film on south-facing residential window panes and the pollen paste in the gutters in the spring. The leaf load in the fall is the second visit that matters.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates. A nor'easter in the fall can drop a fresh layer of debris, so we book the fall visit for after the last leaves drop, not before. Across Massachusetts, the spring and fall visits follow the same order, gutters first and glass last.
Some houses need more than the two regular cleanings a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), or a house near a busy road all bring more debris to the glass, and our crew books those on a shorter cycle. Our residential properties with this kind of exposure stay clean windows between visits when we schedule service around the seasons.
Sign that windows need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low. Sign that gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in the rain. If you see either, book a visit and we will check every window and every sill on the house.
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 covers the areas we have worked across Massachusetts, and we keep a calendar of open slots. Booking starts with an estimate: call (866) 435-6328 or text us your number of stories and a photo of the house front. We then book a date and call before we come, so nobody has to wait on the driveway. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and the fall, when pollen and leaves drive demand across the state. Book early in those months and the slot is easier to hold. We handle washing services and window cleaning services for residential and commercial buildings, from single homes to small buildings, and we take on grime that has built up on sills and frames, not just the glass.
Our crew also clears gutters and downspouts and checks where runoff leaves the roof, so water is moving away from the foundation. Where there is buildup on the frames, we remove dirt by hand rather than with a blower. We also clean condos with shared roofs, so the schedule can cover more than one unit at a time.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We do not hand the gutters to a second company.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you an exact number from the stories and window count.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. The inside is a separate job we do not do on this visit.
Most of our customers book in the spring and the fall, and we work out the exact month with you when you call. Across Massachusetts the spring and fall visits follow the same order.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, the gutter debris lands on it, so we keep the order fixed on every house.
Screens are rinsed, and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the same visit when they are reachable from outside.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows, so if you want interior and exterior glass done, that is booked as a separate job. We do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, 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.
