Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together in a single visit costs less than two separate trips. On our Gardner jobs, most customers book it for the spring and fall cleanings, which is why we built the visit around both.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutter cleaning and window washing together in one visit comes out cheaper than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
On our Gardner jobs, the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a steep roof changes how many setups it takes, and multi-story buildings take more setups than single-story ones. A high count of oversized panes or picture windows takes longer than standard sash windows, and every window counts toward the price. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers can be a separate problem that cleaning alone does not remove, and we will tell you that before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
Here is how we get the exact number. Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories, and we will count the windows from the photo and the ground. On a house we have already done, the same count gives us a quote close to the one we gave before, and our washing services are priced the same way on repeat visits. Most of our Gardner customers book regular cleanings, so the number of visits per year is part of the conversation too. We quote exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is a separate estimate. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo and we will send a written estimate.
| 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.
Across Massachusetts, most of the residential and commercial jobs we clean get both gutters and glass done twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our Gardner jobs the rhythm is the same, with the timing set by what the house sees. Spring visits across Massachusetts usually run late May to June, and fall visits in Gardner run October to early November.
In spring, the film on south-facing glass builds up, and the paste collects in the gutters and at the downspout elbows. Pollen is the thing we notice first in the spring visit, and we match the cleaning solutions to what the house is carrying. In fall, the leaf load is what matters, and the wet leaf mat is what sags the runs by winter if it is left in place. Across Massachusetts, nor'easters can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, and we adjust to them rather than booking on a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a different approach. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames and screens. Clogged gutters on those houses usually show up sooner than on an open lot.
You will know windows need attention when haze shows up only when the sun is low. You will know gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout. Both are signs to call rather than wait for the schedule. Gutter cleaning on its own, or clearing a clogged run to prevent water damage at the fascia, is part of the same visit. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house, and we will book your next 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.
We have cleaned gutters and windows across the neighborhoods of Gardner, and our crew knows which streets get the most tree cover and which get the most sprinkler spotting. Booking runs on a simple sequence. You call (866) 435-6328 or text us, we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a written estimate. We call before we come to schedule service, and we confirm the slot the day before.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so those are the times to book early. Outside those windows, lead time is shorter. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since our crew does not come inside. We also handle a small number of commercial buildings alongside residential homes, and the same booking steps apply. Our window cleaning services are scheduled per visit, so you can see the next open date before you commit. Professional window cleaning on every window adds curb appeal, and the gutter work goes in the same visit.
Yes, our crew does both in one visit, so you do not need two companies on the property. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so runoff from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
For a residential window job on a two-story house, we give the number by phone or text, based on stories and window count, rather than a range. The same count applies to multi-story buildings. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will send a written estimate.
On our Gardner jobs, the outside carries most of what the glass collects here: pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting. Cleaning the windows inside does not remove dirt from the outside, which is where the grime builds up on most residential properties.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall. Those are the two windows when leaves and grime build up, and the calendar fills quickly then.
No, we work gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass waits until the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on most jobs, and we tell you on the phone if a track needs more time.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows or 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. The same visit works for condos, since the crew only works on the outside of the building.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
