Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book this in the spring and in the fall, and our crew handles the window and gutter cleaning in Hingham on the same schedule.
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 the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and that holds for window washing, gutter work and anything else we add to the same visit.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the stories and any roof steep enough that the crew has to work from a boom or scissor lift, the window count and any oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Most of the quotes we write come down to a photo of the front of the house sent by text, the number of stories, and a rough count of the windows. From there we can tell you what the crew expects to find, and what the price will be before a truck rolls out. Residential properties with a lot of glass and a mature gutter line can see a different number than a short ranch, so the photo matters more than a guess from the street. The same quote logic applies to condos, where the photo and the number of stories set the figure.
For the cleanings themselves, most homes do well on the regular cleanings schedule, and the interior and exterior of the house are not the same job; this visit covers the outside only. The crew cleans the reachable panes with purified water, which lets it remove dirt without leaving streaks, and tall picture windows are done from the pole rather than a leaned ladder. Grime from the road and the trees is what most of our crew removes on a standard visit, and window washing on the outside is what the price covers. Our washing services for the outside of the glass are the thing the number pays for.
To get the exact figure, call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the house front with a count of the stories and about how many windows face the street. We will reply with 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.
Most of our Hingham customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and one crew in one visit makes sense because the two jobs run on the same calendar. Across Massachusetts, the spring and fall pattern holds, but it is the Hingham houses we see most closely.
In the spring, the pollen film sits on the south-facing glass and tree dust packs the gutters, which is why we plan the spring visit around that stretch of the year. In the fall, the leaf load arrives on the roof, and wet leaves are the main reason for clogged gutters. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a little, and we would rather book a visit in the right week than hold to a calendar that the weather has changed.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means the needles and grit build up between cleanings, so those customers are on a shorter schedule. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round white spots that come back a day after cleaning. Store-bought cleaning solutions will not lift those spots, and a mineral treatment does. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more film on the glass. For those, we suggest a third visit so the glass and the gutters do not carry the dirt for months.
The sign that the windows need it is a haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign that the gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, and left alone that can mean water damage behind the trim. If you see either one, call (866) 435-6328 and we will book the next open slot, or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we see.
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 cleans windows and gutters across Hingham and the surrounding area, on residential and commercial buildings alike, and we handle the same window cleaning services on every street. Most houses in town get the same two-person visit, and the professional window cleaning is done the same way whether the house is on a quiet lane or a busier road.
Booking is simple. Call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate in writing. The lead time for a slot is in our calendar, and the schedule service for each customer is set on the phone before the crew is booked. When our calendar fills, it is usually in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, so the earlier you call, the better your chance of the date you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew calls before it comes, and it does not come inside the house. If you have a question about a particular window or a gutter run, the crew will look at it from the outside and tell you what it finds. We clear gutters and downspouts on the same visit. Every window on the outside gets the same care, and the sill is wiped at each visit. The two-person crew handles multi-story buildings the same way it handles a two-story house, with the lift quoted before the visit.
The window cleaners who do this work on the house are the same crew that does the gutters, and that is why one visit covers both. For a clean house with good curb appeal, the two jobs done together are the easiest route. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, or ask for a written estimate by text.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. You do not get two crews or two trips.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will return the figure in writing.
On a residential window job, the outside carries most of what dulls the glass here: pollen in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up over time. Cleaning the inside alone leaves that film on the panes.
In Hingham, the fall visit runs late October to November. Across Massachusetts, the spring visit runs late May to June, and we set the exact date with you by phone at (866) 435-6328.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. When the gutters come down the wall, the runoff would land on clean panes, so the glass waits until the roof and downspouts are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the window work on the outside of the house.
No. On this visit we clean the outside of the glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing. Text a photo of the roofline if you want to ask about anything else.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, 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.
