Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows on the same visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing drips back onto clean glass. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Holyoke jobs most customers book it in the spring and fall, which is when the grime and the leaf load build up fastest. To get a quote, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the stories and window count.
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 and gutter cleaning services are priced by the number of stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries. Give us those two things by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text and we quote the job on the spot; the number we quote is the number we charge. Booking the gutters and the exterior glass together is cheaper than two separate trips, and the bundle price shows that difference on the estimate.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more setup. Oversized picture windows cost more time per pane than standard sashes. Gutters that nobody has opened in years come down heavier and wetter, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run underneath. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that hits the glass is another line on the estimate, because cleaning alone does not remove it. Grime baked onto the glass takes a second pass to remove dirt fully, and runoff from a clogged run that has soaked the wall below gets checked before the glass is touched. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
A run packed with seed or needles takes longer than the window count suggests, and a sprinkler head aimed at the front glass adds a second pass for the spotting. Those two things, not the window count, set the time on the day. If you want the exact figure for your house, the fastest route is to text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we will tell you what we see from it before anyone comes out.
Window cleaning services on the outside of the glass are the same job whether it is a single-family house, a block of condos or a mid-size building, so the quote follows the same logic. For a commercial building, the scope is per building and the scope is agreed in writing before the first visit.

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 Holyoke customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and that is why one crew doing the window and gutter work in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In the spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that matters. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we book the visit against the weather rather than a fixed day, and we use cleaning solutions sized to the glass and the gutter material on each house.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, is the usual reason. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another, because the spots come back a day after a cleaning and only a mineral treatment removes them. A house near a busy road collects more grime on the outside of the windows between visits, and picture windows show it sooner than the gutters do. Our work covers only the exterior, but the interior and exterior of a house rarely dirty at the same rate, so the schedule follows the outside.
Here is how we decide, for residential and commercial buildings alike. A customer with no trees over the roof and no sprinkler spotting is usually fine on a twice-a-year schedule. A customer under heavy trees or with spotting on the glass tends to be on three or four visits a year, because the gutters fill faster and the glass collects more. We set the schedule after the first visit, when we can see what your lot is actually doing, and regular cleanings are booked from there.
You will notice the windows need cleaning when there is a haze on the glass that only shows up when the sun is low. You will notice the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign is a good reason to call, and it is cheaper to clean before the gutters overflow onto the siding.
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 of window cleaners has worked across Holyoke on both residential and commercial properties, from older houses with long gutter runs to multi-story buildings that need boom or scissor lift access on the back side. Our window cleaning services are booked by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we schedule service once the quote is confirmed. The lead time is listed on the booking page, and it is the honest number for the current calendar.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop. When those come on, our calendar fills, so the sooner you call the better your chance of the date you want. Outside those windows slots open up more easily. If a gutter is already clogged or water is coming through the wall, tell us on the call so the crew can see that first. Clogged gutters and water damage on a wall go to the front of the list, and professional window cleaning waits until they are checked.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we tell you what we found on the photo set afterward. The crew does not go inside the house and does not touch the windows inside, so the interior is not part of the visit. Our work covers the outside of the glass, the curb appeal of the front of the house, and the gutters and downspouts, and the crew does not repair or replace anything on the roof.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two-person crew doing both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run back across clean windows. It is one of the most frequently asked questions we get.
On residential properties the number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text before any work is booked. The number we quote is the number we charge.
On our jobs the outside carries most of what collects on a residential window here: spring dust, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting. The inside can be perfect and the outside still looks hazy in low sun.
Most of our Holyoke customers book in the spring after the first warm weeks and again in the fall after the leaves come down. Calling early in those windows gets you the date you want, so schedule service before the calendar fills.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. The leaves, grit and black water come down the wall during the gutter run, so the glass goes last once the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included on the exterior side of the window, and every window gets the same treatment.
We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. The work is exterior glass and gutters only.
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.
