Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again on the way out. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book spring and fall, and that is the calendar we run here too.
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.
Our window washing services and gutter work are priced from the same two numbers: the stories and the approximate window count. Booking both in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the same logic holds for window cleaning services on their own. We do not price interior and exterior glass as one job, because this visit covers the exterior only. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge when the crew finishes.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. On multi-story buildings, a third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A window count that runs high, or oversized picture windows, adds time at the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear and flush. Grime that has built up over a long gap takes more time to remove dirt from the frames and glass, and regular cleanings keep each visit shorter. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes, and we say so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras billed later.
On a recent Methuen Town job, the quote moved because of the stories and the grime that had built up on the lower panes, which needed a second pass. Every number on the invoice matched the number we gave over the phone. To get your number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house with your stories and a rough window count, and the crew can book a date once you say yes.

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 customers here book twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen drop and once in the fall after the leaves are down, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for window and gutter work.
In the spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters and at the downspout elbows. Cleaning solutions do not replace a rinse, so the film comes off with water first. In the fall the problem is the wet leaf mat, which is where clogged gutters start to sag under weight and water damage begins at the fascia. When the first rain hits, runoff from that mat carries grit down the glass below. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks either way.
Some houses need a third visit. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder, and the same pollen and leaf load hits residential and commercial buildings alike, so the calendar sets the timing while the stories set the crew time. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime than the calendar suggests.
The sign the windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign the gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If you see either, call us and we will look.
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 cleans gutters and windows across Methuen Town, so you do not have to hire separate window cleaners and a gutter service for the same house. The fastest way to book is to call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your stories and a rough window count. We give you a number from that, and the crew calls before they come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. The busy windows of the year are the late spring and the late fall, when the calendar fills, so booking early in those months keeps the slot you want. Clean glass and clear gutters both show from the street, so they do a lot for curb appeal. We will tell you the lead time when you call.
We run professional window cleaning and gutter work as one of our cleaning services, which is why the same crew handles every window, every sill and every run in the visit. If you want to schedule service in a slower month, ask, and we will check the calendar.
Yes. Our crew does both, clearing gutters and downspouts and then the glass, and the bundle is one visit, gutters first and glass last.
There is no fixed figure we can give here. We set the number for residential properties and condos from the stories and the window count, and we quote it by phone or text.
A residential window collects pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots on the outside, and that film builds up between cleanings, so the glass looks dull from the street even when the inside is clean.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall. Those are the months when the calendar fills, so book early if you want those dates.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, then wait a few minutes before we touch the glass, so runoff does not carry dirt onto clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. We do not treat them as extras.
No. This visit is exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside the house or 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, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
