Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so nothing dirty from the roof lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book this in spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
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, both jobs in one visit cost less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes all change the number. On the day, window and gutter work covers cleaning the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills, and none of it is billed as an extra.
Across Massachusetts, the houses that come in highest are the ones where the gutters have gone longest without a visit, because the window work waits on the cleared gutters. To get your exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and about how many windows face the street and the back. Picture windows and multi-story buildings take a longer setup, and we say so before the visit; the figures here are for houses, and a residential and commercial building gets its own estimate by phone. Regular cleanings keep the gutter work short, which is the main lever you control.
Gutters and windows are cleaned from the outside only on this visit. Cleaning solutions are water-fed and purified, so the glass dries without a film. A sprinkler line that keeps hitting the glass leaves mineral spots, and we flag those on the first visit rather than quoting them as dirt. Hard-water spotting is a separate treatment, quoted once the crew has seen it.
| 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.
Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book both twice a year, in spring and fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Spring brings the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutters, and fall brings the leaf load and the wet mat that sags under ice if it was never cleared.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction usually needs a third visit, because the grime comes back faster. Our window cleaning services are scheduled by what we find on the glass, not by a fixed calendar.
You will know the windows need it when you see haze only in low sun, and the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. Clean glass also does more for curb appeal than most people expect. Most of the Leicester houses we clean also have clogged gutters by late fall, and that is the visit where we see water damage starting at the fascia.
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 exterior windows and gutters on residential properties across the city, including houses and condos, and window and gutter cleaning means one professional window cleaning visit per house, so the crew handles every residential window and the gutter runs in the same morning. Book by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the slot before the truck rolls. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows, late spring and late fall, so schedule service early if your house has a pollen or leaf problem. We call before we come, and the crew photographs every run and every sill so you see the work before you pay. Clean windows and clear gutters hold up longer when the visits stay on schedule.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing dirty from the roof lands on clean windows.
The number comes from stories and window count, and we give it by phone or text. The washing services on this visit are priced as one job, so send a photo of the front of the house and we will say the number before we book.
On a Leicester house the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, which is why the glass looks hazy even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside alone is enough to remove dirt the sun shows you on the glass.
Most of our Leicester customers book in late spring and in late fall. Across Massachusetts the pattern is the same, so the spring visit and the fall visit each cover one season of buildup.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall dry for a few minutes, and only then clean the glass, so the runoff and grit do not run across the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the window work. Those are not billed as extras, and the number on the phone includes them.
No. This visit covers the exterior only, so windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing. If you want interior and exterior glass done, that is quoted as its own job.
No, 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.
