Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the job 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, most of our customers book spring and fall, which is when we see the most buildup on the roof and the glass.
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, two separate cleanings cost more than one bundled visit, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The starting point is the number of stories and windows, and the exact figure comes from what you tell us about them.
Several things move the quote on our jobs. A steep roof or a third story takes more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings are quoted with that in mind. Oversized panes and picture windows cost more to reach and clean. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more passes to clear. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a separate treatment, and no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the pollen film on the glass are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We rinse the glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions. Our washing services cover exterior glass only, so the interior and exterior split never shows up on the invoice.
Before we quote, the simplest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows face the outside. We will confirm the figure before the crew is booked, so there are no surprises on the invoice. Most of the jobs that come in with a clear photo are quoted the same day, and the grime on the glass and the buildup in the gutters are both easy to judge from one clear image. Tell us about any picture windows or large panes up front so we can plan the lift and the time on site. Send the stories and window count for any residential and commercial building, and we will tell you what we need to quote it.

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 of our customers book regular cleanings for gutters and exterior windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs. Most of our cleaning services are booked that way.
In spring, a film of pollen builds on south-facing glass and packs the gutters and downspout elbows. Professional window cleaning in spring clears the film before it bakes onto the glass. In fall, the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the gutters through the cold months. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed calendar. Window cleaners who only do glass leave the gutters for someone else, which is why we book the two jobs together.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts, and clogged gutters are the usual result. Left alone, clogged gutters let runoff spill over the edge and into the wall, which is how water damage starts. Cleaning the glass from outside leaves the windows inside untouched, and the gutters and downspouts still need their own pass. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. On multi-story buildings, the upper glass is the hardest to reach, so it often waits longest. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a fine film that settles on the windows and runs into the gutters.
Our crew can see the signs that tell you it is time. Windows need cleaning when a haze shows up only when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. Clean glass also does more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
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 book window and gutter cleaning across Middleborough, and the residential window jobs we see most often are on properties that have been waiting a full season. Booking our window cleaning services starts with a quick estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead times depend on the calendar, so call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service and we will tell you the first open slot.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season. Our calendar fills in both, so booking early keeps your preferred day, and it is how most people get clean windows before the next leaf or dust wave. Outside those windows, schedule service is usually easier to fit around your week.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we keep the crew outside for the entire job. Every window we clean is checked from the outside, and we finish each job with the sill wiped and the screens put back. We wipe the frames to remove dirt that rain leaves behind. We do residential properties as our main work, houses and condos alike, and we treat each one as its own job, not a template.
Yes. Many window cleaners only do glass, but the same two people clean gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before any of our washing services are booked.
Yes. The outside carries the film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and a clean inside does not remove dirt from the outside glass. That buildup, and the grime that goes with it, is what leaves the glass looking dull even when the inside is clean.
Spring and fall are when our customers here book most often, and we can usually fit a slot in either season if you call (866) 435-6328 ahead.
No. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so the runoff from the gutters and downspouts is cleared before any window is washed.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and those are part of the job. Tracks are wiped where they can be reached from the outside.
Our washing services cover the exterior glass only on this visit. Cleaning windows inside is not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
