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 in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, this combined service is most often booked in spring and fall, and the number we give on the phone at (866) 435-6328 is the number we charge.
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. Booking gutter cleaning and window washing together in one visit comes in below the cost of two separate appointments, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and cleaning solutions are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more care. Oversized picture windows and large panes take longer to dry without streaks, and heavy grime on them takes more passes, so the window count alone does not tell the whole story. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it before we start.
On our Millbury jobs the quote usually changes most when a customer has not had the gutters done in a long time. The crew clears the gutters and downspouts, photographs each run, and then cleans the glass with purified water. We ask for the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house by text before we give a price, and that photo lets us confirm the window count and the access without a site visit. For exterior window washing and gutter work, that is usually enough to give a firm number on the phone.
Our crew does washing services for the outside of the glass only on this visit, and these window cleaning services leave the interior alone. A job that covers the interior and exterior of the same windows is a separate booking, and we do not do the inside of the glass during this visit. Regular cleanings keep the quote lower over time, since less debris builds up between visits and the crew moves faster through the runs.
| 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.
The usual pattern across Massachusetts is a spring visit in late May to June and a fall visit in late October to November. We do window and gutter cleaning on the same visit because the calendar is the same: the spring pollen drop and the fall leaf fall hit residential and commercial glass at the same time. Windows inside are a separate job and are not part of either visit.
In the spring visit, pollen lays a yellow film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as paste. The downspout elbows fill with seeds and grit, and runoff backs up behind them when the first storms arrive. In the fall visit the leaves have dropped and form a wet mat in the runs. Millbury gets freezing weather, so that mat holds water against the fascia through winter, which is where water damage starts. A run left full of wet leaves can also sag under the weight of ice by March.
Some houses need extra visits. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, so those customers book a visit in between the two seasonal ones. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses need a visit timed around the sprinkler schedule. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the average, and it benefits from an extra visit in the middle of the year.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout, which is what clogged gutters do in a storm.
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 window cleaners work across Millbury and the surrounding area, and we take on residential properties of every size. Each residential window gets the same outside pass, including the sill below it, and every window on a multi-story house is reached from a pole or a lift. To schedule service, start with a quick estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We use that to confirm the window count and the access, and then we give you a firm time.
Lead times depend on the season, so we give you the date we can reach on the first call. The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, when our calendar fills fastest. Booking early in those months gets you a slot that suits you. Clean glass also does a lot for curb appeal, so a spring booking gets the front of the house done before the yard season starts. Our crew calls before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our professional window cleaning crew works from the outside of the house to remove dirt from the glass, using a water-fed pole where the windows are reachable from the ground and a boom or scissor lift on the upper stories, including on multi-story buildings. Every window we can reach is covered by our cleaning services, and we tell you before the visit about any window we cannot reach safely.
Yes. The same two people handle window and gutter cleaning in one visit, and they do the gutters first and the glass last. That order keeps the debris from the runs off the clean glass.
We give the number on the phone or by text, based on the stories and the size of the house or the condos. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the front, and we will quote the job before we book it.
Yes, because the outside takes the rain dust and sprinkler spots, and a residential window looks cleaner from the street once the glass is clean. The inside can stay as it is while the outside gets cleaned.
Across Massachusetts, the usual visits fall in late May or June and again in late October or November. Those are the windows of the year when the spring drop and the leaf fall are heaviest.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Runs of clogged gutters spill runoff down the wall, and when the runs are cleared first, the debris and black water are gone before anyone touches the windows, so nothing runs down onto the clean panes.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job on every residential window. The crew rinses the screens, wipes the sills and clears the tracks as part of the visit, and nothing is billed as an extra.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only, and we do not do pressure washing or interior glass. The windows inside the house need a separate estimate, so ask us for one if you want them done.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
