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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most homeowners book this in spring and fall, and we keep the same order of work on every house.
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 residential properties 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. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are the same each time. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Picture windows are the big single panes, and a high residential window count adds hours. Gutters that have not been opened 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 sprinklers does not come off with cleaning alone, and we tell you about it before we start.
Get the exact number by calling (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the front of the house with your stories and rough window count, and we will book a date from there. This visit covers the outside only, so interior and exterior glass are not the same job: windows inside the house are not part of it, and neither is pressure washing. For a homeowner who wants the outside of the glass and the gutters done together, the visit covers the exterior window washing services and the grime on each pane, plus the regular cleanings that keep the gutters flowing. Our crew handles the cleanings and the glass, and we include a note on any problem we see on the roof without selling a repair.

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 Marlborough customers book both 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. What we find at each visit is the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters during the spring months, and the leaf load in the fall. Storm and wind seasons, including nor'easters across Massachusetts, can move the dates.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof leaves more debris 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 more dust on the frames. Clogged gutters and downspouts on multi-story buildings, or on a house with a lot of runoff, can point to a slope or hanger problem that leads to water damage at the wall, and we say so in the photo report.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze only in low sun. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain. Cleaning solutions alone do not fix either of those, so the schedule should match what we see at your house.
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.
Our crew provides window cleaning services and gutter cleaning across the city, and we book the visit through an estimate by phone or text with your stories and a photo of the house front. To book, call (866) 435-6328 for the lead time on your address. The two busiest windows of the year follow the spring and leaf months, and our calendar fills then, so booking early is the simplest way to schedule service with us.
We call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. Our window cleaners work from the outside with a water-fed pole and purified water, and they remove dirt and film from each pane. Every window we reach is done, and each residential window gets its sill wiped. Frames and screens are included. For a homeowner who wants professional window cleaning and a gutter clear done together, that is the whole visit, and it keeps the curb appeal of the house up through the season.
Our crew does both, so it is the same people on the ladder. Gutters go first and the glass goes last.
Houses and condos both count as residential properties here, and the number depends on stories, size and residential window count. We give it by phone or text from those details. Quotes here cover residential properties only, so a residential and commercial job gets its own estimate by phone.
Yes. On our Marlborough jobs the outside collects pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and that film dulls the glass whatever shape the rooms behind it are in.
Across Massachusetts the spring visit falls in late May to June, and our fall visits run October to early November in Marlborough, so book around whichever window suits your schedule.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters and downspouts falls on washed panes.
Screens, sills and frames are part of the visit, and we wipe the sills as we finish each window.
This visit is exterior only, so we do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
