The same two people who clean your gutters also clean the outside of your windows, in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back across clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and two jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Most of our Milford customers book both in the spring and again in the fall, and that is the calendar we work from. For a quote, call (866) 435-6328 with your number of stories and a rough window count.
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 washing services and window and gutter work are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and the outside of the windows together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The same method applies to residential and commercial buildings, including condos. We will not put a figure on it here because the starting point depends on the house in front of us.
On our jobs the quote moves for a few reasons. A third story or a roof steep enough that the crew has to work from a boom or scissor lift takes longer than a single-story run. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows that need more time and more care. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take more hours to clear than a gutter cleaned last season. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is a separate problem that regular cleanings will not remove, and we tell you about it before we quote it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The cleaning solutions we use on the glass, and the grime they lift off it, are part of the quote too. This quote covers the exterior only, and interior and exterior work are never combined into one number.
For a Milford example, one customer on a two-story house with a large run of gutters and a row of picture windows at the back asked why the quote was higher than a neighbor's. The gutters were packed, and the back wall had a sprinkler line hitting the glass. Once the crew had counted the stories and the windows, the number on the phone matched the invoice. To get your exact number, count your stories and roughly how many windows you have, then text us a photo of the front of the house.
| 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.
Most of our Milford customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Booking both through one of our cleaning services means one date on the calendar instead of two. Across Massachusetts the spring visit is late May to June and the fall visit runs October to early November, since the same pollen and leaf seasons set the calendar for window cleaners across the state, and nor'easters can move the fall date.
At the spring visit we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a pollen paste in the gutters and downspouts. In the fall we find the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we have seen clogged gutters sag under the weight of it. Some houses need a third visit: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that splashes the glass so spots come back a day later, or a house close to a busy road or construction. Multi-story buildings take the longest, because the crew works from a lift or ladder on every level, and gutters that overflow for a season send runoff down the fascia and can lead to water damage. Those are the places where the glass and gutters pick up more than a twice-a-year schedule can keep up with.
One customer with no trees near the house is on once a year and has been for years. Another, with trees over the roof and a sprinkler line on the back wall, is on three or four visits a year. The first customer needs one fall visit and the second needs the rest. After your first visit we will tell you which of those your house needs.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running out the downspouts. Our window cleaning services are worth booking before the haze builds, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal. Windows inside need their own visit, so the outside is what we clean on this schedule.
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 offer window and gutter cleaning across Milford and the surrounding houses, with the same crew doing the work on every visit. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate at (866) 435-6328 that uses the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Residential window work follows the same order, gutters first and glass last. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and the calendar fills up in those weeks, so the earlier you book the better your chances of getting the date you want.
We do this work on residential properties, condos, and commercial buildings, and the crew takes the same care with clean windows on either. If you have a lot of glass or a house with many stories, the estimate call is the right place to start, because the crew will want to know how many windows you have and how the house is laid out. We will schedule service for the date you choose when a slot is open, and we will confirm it before the crew heads out. Every window on the schedule gets its own check on the way out, including the sill below each pane, and the crew works to remove dirt from every frame before it leaves.
Yes, it is the same crew. Our window cleaning services cover the outside of the glass and the gutters in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
Our washing services are priced from the number of stories and the approximate size of the house, and we give the number by phone or text. We do not put a figure in this FAQ because the starting point depends on the house.
On our jobs the outside of the glass carries pollen, rain dust, sprinkler spots and grime that the inside never sees. Cleaning the inside alone would not remove dirt from the outside, and the outside is where the haze sits.
Most of our Milford customers book in late May or June and again in October or early November. Across Massachusetts the spring and fall are the two busiest seasons we work.
Gutters first, glass last. When we clear a run, the grit and black water under it come down the wall as runoff and across any window below. We have seen what happens when the glass is done first and the gutters after, and the glass has to be done again. Our crew does the roof, the gutters and downspouts, and then the glass.
Yes, the screens, sills and tracks are part of the visit, and we rinse the screens and wipe the sills on every job. Tracks are checked as part of the window work, and we remove dirt from them before the crew leaves. The same exterior service applies to condos, as long as the crew can reach the glass safely.
We clean the exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
