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 doing both together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Harwich jobs most customers book it for spring and fall, which is why we keep the calendar open for those two windows.
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, and doing the gutters and the outside glass together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Ask which glass a quote covers, since the interior and exterior are different jobs and ours is the exterior. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work from that.
Five things move a quote on our jobs. The ladder takes longer on multi-story buildings, and so does a roof too steep to walk. Picture windows and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years come out packed with needles and leaves. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment, and no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We wash the glass with purified water and skip cleaning solutions, so nothing is left on the pane to streak.
On a Harwich house with a high roofline, the first thing we check is how the gutters have been handled since the last visit, because that decides how long the ladder work runs. For a quote on your own house, ask for a written estimate by phone or text, with your number of stories, a rough window count and that photo of the front. Regular cleanings keep the job quick, so a house on a set schedule usually gets a shorter visit than one that has gone a year without anyone touching it. This page is about homes, so if you have a residential and commercial property, say so when you call and we will tell you whether the crew takes it.

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 Harwich customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and one crew in one visit makes sense for both. Spring is when the film and the paste in the gutters have built up. Fall brings the leaf load that leads to clogged gutters and packs the downspouts, and the wet leaf mat that sits on the roof edge. Storm and wind seasons shift the timing a little, so we schedule off the house and not just the calendar.
On the glass in spring we find a yellow pollen film on south-facing panes and frames, and in the gutters a paste that catches the first rain and runs over the edge. In the fall we find the wet leaf mat and the grit that comes with it, which then turns into runoff down the wall. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass or a lot near a busy road or construction tend to need a third visit, because the spots and grime come back faster than twice a year allows. Gutters that overflow through a wet season can cause water damage at the fascia, which is why we check the runs on the return call.
Windows need a visit sooner when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low, and gutters need one when water sheets over the edge during rain rather than running into the downspout. Those are the two signs we look for on a return call.
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 clean gutters and exterior glass for residential window and gutter cleaning across the city, and we schedule service around the spring and fall busy windows when the calendar fills. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate: call (866) 435-6328, or send a photo of the house front with your number of stories. Once a slot is set we call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Clean windows and clear gutters are most of the curb appeal on a Harwich house from the street, so that is where we start.
This is professional window cleaning on residential properties, and the crew works the same order on every house, gutters first, glass last. Clean windows are the goal on every house, which means we check every window and every sill on the outside before the ladder comes down. Condos and townhouses often share a gutter run with the next unit, so tell us which run and which windows are yours when you call. If you want the exterior glass and the gutters done in one visit, say so and we will hold the slot for both.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Both washing services are booked as one visit, so the gutters and the glass go on one estimate, and that order keeps the runoff off the clean panes.
The number comes from your stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. We do not put a range here, because the number on the phone is the one on the invoice.
On our Harwich jobs the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that stay on the glass. Cleaning the outside is how we remove dirt the rain leaves behind, and the inside can look fine while the outside is hazy.
Most of our Harwich customers book in spring and in fall, once each. Those are the two windows when the spring film and the leaves build up and the calendar fills.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, flushing each downspout, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass, so the runoff has nowhere to land on panes we have already done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the exterior side. None of these are billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. The job does not include windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing. If you need either, tell us when you call and we will say what we can and cannot do.
No, 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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
