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 the runoff from the roof never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew works across Massachusetts, and most of the Longmeadow homes we see are on a spring and fall schedule that keeps the glass and the gutters in step with the seasons.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Call (866) 435-6328 with your story count and window total, and the number we give is the number we charge, so you know the figure before the crew is on the ladder. Quotes cover exterior glass, so an interior and exterior job is priced as its own visit.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are predictable. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs mean more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift for the upper runs. A large count of windows, or oversized picture windows, adds glass to the route. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate problem that cleaning will not remove, so we note it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
The houses here carry a lot of pollen in the spring and leaves in the fall, and that is what we find on the glass and in the gutters at each visit. Those two loads are the reason the bundle works: one crew, one set of ladders, and the cleaning solutions we use on the glass are the same ones we rinse off the gutter run before we move on. We keep the process simple so the visit finishes in one piece.
On a Longmeadow job we priced recently, a two-story house with a long run of residential windows and gutters that had not been cleared in several seasons was quoted on the phone from its story count and window total, and the figure we gave was the figure on the invoice. That is the same method we use on every house. Before we quote, it helps to send a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows face the street.
For residential and commercial buildings the approach is the same at a larger scale: we count the stories and the glass and price the whole building, with the gutters and the glass in one visit wherever the access allows. Most of our Longmeadow work is residential, so the figures above are the ones most homeowners will see on their own quote.
| 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 customers book window cleaning services twice a year, with the spring visit falling in late May to June. On our Longmeadow jobs the fall visit is the second one, in late October to November, after the last leaves come down.
At the spring visit we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a sticky tree-dust paste packed into the gutters and downspout elbows. At the fall visit the load is the wet leaf mat, which holds water against the fascia and runs back over the edge in the first heavy rain, the usual route to water damage at the fascia. Storm and wind seasons, including the nor'easters that come through the state, can move a visit by a few weeks, so we book against the calendar rather than a fixed date.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, and a house on a busy road or near construction gathers dust on the glass faster than one set back from the road. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and that is a mineral issue that needs its own treatment.
Our customers who have no trees over the house tend to be on once a year, in late fall, and that is enough for most of them. Customers under trees, or with sprinkler spotting, are usually booked for regular cleanings three or four times a year. We tell you which of those your lot needs after the first visit.
You will notice when the windows need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low, or a film that comes back quickly after a rain. You will notice the gutters and downspouts need it when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign means it is time to call us for a date.
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 offer window and gutter cleaning across the residential properties of Longmeadow, single-family homes and condos alike, and the approach is the same on each street. You book by calling (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us how many stories the house has and send a photo of the front of the house, and we come back with the number. Lead time depends on the season, and in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, the calendar fills first, so it helps to ask early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we arrive in the window we gave you. The crew cleans every residential window we can reach from the ground or from a boom or scissor lift, aiming for clean windows on every side of the house. The windows we cannot reach safely we photograph and tell you about rather than guessing.
If you want the glass and the gutters on one date, say so when you book, and we will put both on the same visit. That keeps the bundle price in place and avoids a second trip. We schedule service for each property once the stories and window count are confirmed.
Yes. Professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning are done by the same two people in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that falls from the roof lands on glass we have already done.
We do not give a figure on the website. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text before the visit. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
On the houses we see here, the outside carries the tree dust in spring, the leaf and rain dust in fall, and the grime and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. Those sit on the outside, so cleaning the inside alone does not remove dirt from the outside of the glass, and a clean front of the house helps its curb appeal.
Across Massachusetts the spring visit runs late May to June, and most of our Longmeadow customers add a fall visit in late October to November, after the leaves come down. Storms can shift the date, so we book these cleaning services against the calendar.
No. Gutters first, glass last. The leaves, the grit and the black water under them come down the wall and across any window below it, so the glass is done only after the gutter runs are cleared and flushed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our washing services. Tracks are included on the visit when they can be reached from the outside, and nothing is billed as an extra on the day.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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.
