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 the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Massachusetts our customers book this in the spring and fall, and we do the same work on our Malden jobs. Call (866) 435-6328 to book either job.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. This page prices one residential house at a time, and a residential and commercial job is quoted separately. Doing gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time. Oversized picture windows and panes that need a pole reach add time. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaf mat, need more passes. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone does not remove, so we note it on the visit. The glass is rinsed with purified water, so no cleaning solutions go on the panes. Regular cleanings keep the number lower than a first visit on a neglected house, because the crew is not clearing years of buildup. This quote covers the exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is never folded into the number. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a recent Malden job the quote moved because the house had two stories, a long back run and a row of tall windows along the side, and the owner had not had the gutters cleared in a few years. The crew cleared the runs, flushed every downspout and cleaned the glass in one visit. To get your exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have.
| 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.
On our Malden jobs most customers book both cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. A professional window cleaning visit in spring clears the pollen film off south-facing glass and the pollen paste out of the gutters, and it keeps curb appeal up through the warm months. The fall visit clears the leaf load before the first hard freeze and the wet leaf mat that sags gutters under ice.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, and clogged gutters can let water sit against the fascia, which is how water damage starts. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings take longer than a one-story house, and the crew plans the lift before the visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site gathers grime faster than the rest. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we call before we come.
A customer with no trees over the house and a clean gutter line does well with one visit a year in late fall, while one under trees or with sprinkler spotting is better on three or four visits. After the first visit we can tell you which schedule fits. Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. Cleaning windows inside the house will not touch that film, because it sits on the outside of the glass. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the front edge in a steady rain.
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 work residential properties across the city, cleaning gutters and windows, and we book a visit with a phone call or a text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a quote and a window. Typical lead time is shown on our booking page. The two busy windows of the year are late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills first, so book early if you want a specific date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our window and gutter cleaning service covers every window on the outside of the house, every sill, and every gutter run and downspout. Each residential window gets the same rinse, and the clean windows are checked from the ground before the crew leaves. Lifts are a boom or scissor lift where the house needs one, and the crew calls you before arriving so you know when to expect us.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning are done by the same two people in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters never lands on clean glass.
We give the number by phone or text, based on stories and the size of the house, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime here: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the inside alone leaves that grime in place, so the outside is the part that changes how the house looks from the street.
On our Malden jobs most customers book in late spring and late fall. Those are the times we see the pollen and leaf loads that matter most, so an early booking gets you the date you want. To book, call (866) 435-6328.
Not if we do it in the right order. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves, grit and black water run down the wall before we touch the windows. We flush the gutters and downspouts before the glass, and the glass is done once.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included in the visit as well, so you do not see them as a separate line on the invoice.
Our washing services cover the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing here.
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. If you live in condos, check with the building about the exterior before the crew arrives.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
