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 nothing washed off the roof lands on clean panes. Pricing comes from the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. We do this work for homeowners across Massachusetts every spring and fall, and we say the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking gutters and windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A steep roof or a third story takes longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high window count add time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a cleaning, and we will tell you that before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, so they are not billed as extras. This quote covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is priced as a separate job.
Our crew sees a lot of cleaning solutions questions from people who want to know what we use on the glass. We use purified water, which dries without leaving a film. For a residential and commercial mix of properties, the same approach holds. The crew sizes each visit to the building it is standing in.
To get an exact number, text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories. We will come back with the figure from the photo and the count. Most of our calls end there, before anyone is on a ladder. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo and we will reply the same day.
For regular cleanings on a schedule, we set the interval with you after the first visit. Our cleanings are priced per visit, so the next date and cost are known before the crew books it. If you want a written estimate for both jobs, ask for it and we will send it to your email.

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.
On our Ludlow jobs, most customers book both twice a year: once in spring, which runs late May to June across Massachusetts, and again in October to early November. That is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on the calendar.
In late spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed into the gutters. In the fall it is the leaf load and the grime in the wet mat that sits in the runs. Storm and wind season, especially the nor'easters across Massachusetts, can move those dates by a few weeks.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film faster than a quiet street.
Windows tell you when they need it: haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout, and that is the first step toward water damage 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 provide window and gutter cleaning services for residential properties and condos across the Ludlow area, and we schedule service by the calendar, not by how close the crew is. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. From there we set a date and call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, because the crew does not come inside.
The two busy windows are the late spring and the late fall, when spring dust and leaves hit at the same time everywhere in town. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so we ask people to book as soon as they know they want the visit. Outside those windows we can usually fit a visit sooner, and we will tell you the first open date when you call.
We clean every residential window on the outside of the house, including sills and the upper floors, and each job is one crew, one visit, so you get clean windows and cleared gutters without a second trip. Multi-story buildings get the same scheduled approach.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter work run on one visit with the same two people. We clear the gutters first and wash the glass last, so the runoff does not hit clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Professional window cleaning and gutter work are priced together, and we give that number by phone or text, and it is what you pay.
Yes. The outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and a cleaning is how we remove dirt and grime before it drags down your curb appeal. The inside glass never sees any of it.
Our Ludlow customers book in late spring and again in late fall, after the spring drop and after the leaves come down.
Not if we do it in the right order. We clear the gutters and flush the gutters and downspouts first, then wash the glass last, so nothing from the roof runs down onto windows we have already cleaned.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are included. None of it shows up as a separate charge on the invoice.
No. We do not clean windows inside the house on this visit, and the job covers exterior glass only. Pressure washing services are not part of it.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
