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 an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Massachusetts we see most homes booked for spring and fall, which is when the pollen and leaves build up.
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 bundling both jobs into one visit costs less than two separate trips. Hiring window cleaners who also clear the gutters means one invoice and one trip. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and the quote covers both.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that it has to be worked from a boom or scissor lift, a large number of oversized panes, such as picture windows, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The price also covers the cleaning solutions for the frames and sills.
Across Massachusetts the houses that carry the most window washing and clogged gutters tend to be the ones with heavy tree cover and older glass, and a professional window cleaning visit usually turns up water damage starting at a stuck downspout before the homeowner notices it. To get your exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will quote from that.
| 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 homes here book two cleanings a year, in spring and again in fall, and we book both visits together so one crew handles the gutters and the glass on the same day. On our jobs that rhythm keeps clean windows and clear gutters on the calendar at the same time.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the seed and pollen paste packs the gutters and downspout elbows. In fall it is the leaf load that matters, and storm and wind seasons can push the dates around, so we confirm the day before.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), or a house close to a busy road or construction all tend to need one. If your property has none of those, twice a year is enough. Our crew will tell you which group your house falls into after the first visit.
On a residential window, the need for cleaning shows up as a haze that only appears when the sun is low. You will see the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain. If either happens between visits, call and we will schedule service.
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 works across Hull and the surrounding area, and we book from a phone call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with your stories and a photo of the house front. The first step is the estimate, and from there we pick a date on the calendar. The two busy windows are the spring and fall pollen and leaf months, when the schedule fills, so it helps to book early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, so you can keep your routine and leave the side gate unlocked. For larger residential properties, multi-story buildings and condos, we plan around the access and confirm the window with you.
We handle the whole job from the gutter runs to the last pane, including the gutters and downspouts, runoff from the roof, and the grime on the sills. The crew uses a water-fed pole to remove dirt from the upper panes, and every window on the outside gets the same treatment. Our washing services and window cleaning services are the same crew, which is why the price stays together on one invoice.
Yes. We are the same two people, and we clean the gutters first, then the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us the front of the house or call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the figure.
Text us the address and we will tell you whether we can take on a commercial building before you book.
Most of our customers here book for spring and fall, and most homes do well with regular cleanings at those two points, so those are the windows to plan around.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing from the gutters washes down onto clean panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, not billed separately.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so we do not clean windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Text a photo of the roofline to get a written estimate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
