Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the roofline ends up on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 for a price.
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 window washing together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories, roof pitch and the number of panes set the starting point for a professional window cleaning quote, and we will walk you through each part before we book.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and picture windows or oversized panes, 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. The price does not cover windows inside; this quote is for the outside glass only. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and both are done in the same visit.
The quickest way to get an exact number is a photo of the front of the house sent by text, along with the number of stories and a rough count of windows. Clogged gutters at the back of the house and extra panes on a side wall are the usual surprises, so we check both on the photo. Water damage from a run that backed up for a season is the one thing we always flag early, because it changes the scope of the work. For buildings with several stories, our crew plans the lift before the estimate is final, so there are no surprises on the day.
| 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 customers in Holliston book two cleanings a year, one in spring and one in fall, covering both gutters and exterior windows, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring the seed and pollen film sits on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as a paste. In fall the leaf load comes down and turns into a wet mat that blocks the downspouts. Storms and nor'easters can move the dates, so we book from what the house is showing us, not from a calendar.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit keep packing the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime and runoff than the same house on a quiet street. For a residential window in those conditions, regular cleanings every few months, booked as a schedule service, keep the sill and every window in line with what the house is really collecting.
You will know when windows need attention: haze shows up when the sun is low, and that is the sign to call. You will know gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Once we have seen the house, we tell you which of those your lot needs.
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 Holliston on homes and small multi-story buildings, and we book by the house, not by the block. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front; we will give you a time window and call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. The fastest slots open up in the quiet weeks between the two busy seasons, and when the calendar fills during spring seed or fall leaf drop, we tell you the next open date before you book.
We clean the exterior of residential and commercial properties, including condos and multi-unit buildings, using the same water-fed method on each. The crew uses purified water rather than cleaning solutions to remove dirt and grime from the glass, rinses frames and screens, and flushes gutters and downspouts so the runoff leaves the house cleanly. For larger properties we also offer washing services and window cleaning services scheduled per building, and we can set up a regular plan with the same crew each visit.
Yes. Our crew does both, in one visit, with the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so the roofline does not drip onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before you book. We do not quote a figure without seeing the house first.
Yes, because the outside takes most of the load here: seed film in spring, leaf and rain dust in fall, and sprinkler spots in summer. Those collect on the outside first, so cleaning the inside alone leaves most of the grime in place.
Most of our customers here book in spring, after the spring seed drop, and in fall, after the leaves come down. Across Massachusetts those are the two windows when the crew is busiest.
Not with our order of work. Gutters first, glass last, so anything that comes off the roof is rinsed away before the windows are touched. If the glass were washed first, someone would have to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the visit. Those are included, and we do not bill them as extras.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Some companies sell interior and exterior packages; ours covers the outside only, and we do not pressure wash siding or decks.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
