The same two people who clean your gutters also clean the outside of your windows, in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. Pricing follows the number of stories, and booking both jobs together is cheaper than two separate trips. We have been doing this work across Massachusetts through the spring and fall seasons, and our Falmouth customers book it the same way.
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 on a residential window job are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is set before the crew arrives.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote: a third story or a steep roof on multi-story buildings that needs the boom or scissor lift, oversized picture windows and window counts that run past the estimate, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our quotes cover interior and exterior work separately, and this visit is exterior only.
Most of our Falmouth jobs come down to how much grime has built up on the glass and in the gutters since the last visit. Regular cleanings keep that load small, and a house that has gone a year or more without service usually needs a longer visit. Ask us for a written estimate after we see the front of the house in a text photo, and we will tell you which of those applies to your home before anyone climbs a ladder.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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 Falmouth jobs most customers book both twice a year, once in late spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the whole house.
In the spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters, so that is the visit where the window and gutter work does the most good. In the fall the leaf load comes down, and the wet mat sits in the gutters through the cold months. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a little, so we book to the house rather than to the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings, and clogged gutters that overflow can send water damage into the fascia and siding. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and a house near a busy road or a construction site picks up haze faster than the rest. Cleaning solutions do their job on the glass, but the spotting from a sprinkler line only comes off with a separate treatment, so we flag it on the first visit.
You will see the sign windows need attention as a haze you only notice when the sun sits low, and you will see the sign gutters need attention as water sheeting over the edge in the rain. If either one shows up between visits, call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at it.
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 worked across Falmouth, and we book by the house rather than by the block. Start with an estimate by phone or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house. Our window cleaning services cover residential properties, and the same steps apply to residential and commercial buildings. A clean front elevation does a lot for curb appeal, and our typical lead time for a first visit is set in the booking calendar and shows when you ask for a date.
The two busiest windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills. If you want a slot in either window, book early, or call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service. We call before we come, so you always know the crew is on the way, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crews bring professional window cleaning equipment, purified water and a boom or scissor lift for taller houses. Whatever the size of your property, every window gets the same treatment, and each sill is wiped as part of the visit. Text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the crew and the date in writing.
Yes, on our residential properties it is the same two people doing both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof never lands on the windows we just finished.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. The same method works for condos. The figure we quote is the figure on your invoice.
On our Falmouth jobs the outside carries most of the load: spring tree dust, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting on the glass. That is the layer where we remove dirt, and the inside is a separate job we do not do on this visit.
Most of our Falmouth customers book in late spring, once the spring dust settles, and again in the fall after the leaves come down. Those are the two visits that keep the house in shape across the year.
Not if the order is right. We clear the roof, the gutters and every downspout first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, so none of them show up as an extra line on the invoice.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean the 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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
