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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Lakeville jobs most customers book us in the spring and the fall, and that is when we see the pollen and leaf loads that we clear every time.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and we work it out from the number of stories and an approximate window count. Doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit is less than booking the two jobs separately, and we will tell you the exact bundle figure when you call (866) 435-6328.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are the same ones we see on the ladder: a third story, multi-story buildings, or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized picture windows, gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We rinse with purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so nothing is left on the sill to dry in a film.
A customer on a Lakeville street with two stories and a row of large windows was quoted on the phone from a photo of the front of the house, and the gutters came out heavier than the photo suggested because of the packed downspout elbows. The point is that a photo of the front of the house, your story count and a rough window count get you the exact number before anyone climbs a ladder. Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories, and we will reply with the number. Cleanings are scheduled around the same routine each visit, so the quote you get now holds for the next one if the house does not change.

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 Lakeville customers book both gutters and glass twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In the spring we find a film of pollen on south-facing glass and sticky grit packed in the gutters, and in the fall we find the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs all winter. Winter snow and the freeze-thaw cycle that runs through the snow months make a clogged run worse, so the fall visit matters for the spring thaw. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep curb appeal up, and professional window cleaning in the same visit means no second trip.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a multi-story building close to a busy road or construction usually needs a third visit. On those houses we see the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and the grime that builds back faster than on a yard with few trees. The first sign that windows need a visit is haze that appears when the sun is low. The first sign that gutters need one is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, which points to clogged gutters or water damage starting behind the fascia.
One Lakeville customer with few trees is on once a year in the late fall, and another with heavy tree cover and a sprinkler line on the glass is on three or four visits a year; we tell you which schedule your lot needs after the first visit.
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 window and gutter cleaning jobs across Lakeville, and the estimate starts the same way: a call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text that photo, and we will confirm a slot. Most residential window and gutter jobs get a slot within the lead time we give you on the phone, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills fast in both. If you want a set date in one of those windows, book early and we will hold it. We do the residential properties in town and clean windows on every floor; every window on the outside that can be reached safely gets the sill, the frame and the screen included in the visit.
Yes. Our window washing services and gutter cleaning are one crew on one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from a clean run never lands on glass we have just washed. It is the same two people on the same visit.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will send the number before we schedule. Condos are quoted the same way, and for a residential and commercial building, call and we tell you whether it is a job we take.
The outside carries most of the grime here: spring dust, rain dust, and the sprinkler spots that wash in with the water. Clean inside glass does not stop the outside from fogging up with haze.
Most of our customers here book in the late spring and the late fall, after the pollen drop and after the last leaves come down. Those are the dates we see the heaviest runoff and grime on the glass.
Not if we do it in the right order. We clear the gutters, flush the downspouts and let the wall stop dripping before anyone touches the glass, so the grit and black water are gone before the windows get washed.
Screens are rinsed and put back, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, so none of those is billed as an extra. Remove dirt from the frame and sill is included in the same price.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, so we do not clean the windows inside. We do not do interior and exterior glass in one visit, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
