Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first, glass last, so nothing falls on clean glass. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them as two trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when the leaf and grit loads build up. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the number before anything is booked.
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.
A professional window cleaning visit is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing the gutters and window washing in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, and clear gutters and clean glass do more for curb appeal than most people expect. Multi-story buildings need more setup, so they are quoted on the lift they need.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that needs a boom or scissor lift, a high count of oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. A lot of the clogged gutters we open have been holding water for a season, and the water damage shows up first on the fascia below.
On a recent Natick job, the quote came up because the house had three stories, a long run of picture windows on the south side and a row of gutters nobody had opened in years. The crew cleared the runs, flushed every downspout until it ran clear and cleaned the glass from the ground and the lift. The customer got the same number on the invoice that we gave over the phone. Getting an exact figure is simple: tell us the number of stories, give a rough window count, and text a photo of the front of the house. We will come back with the number before anything is booked. Ask for a written estimate and we send it the same day.

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 Natick customers book regular cleanings 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. Across Massachusetts, the spring visit runs late May to June, and the fall visit usually lands in October to early November. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and a sticky grit sits in the gutter elbows. Fall is when the leaf load comes down and turns into a wet mat on the roof. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we watch the weather rather than the calendar alone.
Some residential properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that wets every window leaves spots that come back a day later, and a house close to a busy road or a construction site gets a film of grime that builds faster than the rest. We will tell you which of these applies after the first visit, so the plan fits your lot and not a generic schedule.
The sign that a residential window needs cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign that the gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Either one is worth a call, and we will tell you which visit to schedule service for first.
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 works across Natick, and we have cleaned both gutters and exterior glass on houses throughout the town. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar, so call (866) 435-6328 and we give you the next open slot. The calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring visit window and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months gets you a slot sooner. If you live in one of the condos, mention it when you call so we can plan access.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew calls before they come, so you know when to expect them. The exterior glass, the gutters and the sills are the scope on this visit, and the washing services and window cleaning services we do are set up to handle the full outside of the house in one trip. The crew works to remove dirt from the sills and frames before the glass is rinsed. Wiping the grime off the sills and clearing the runoff from the gutters and downspouts is part of that same visit.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, the same way for residential and commercial jobs, and we give it by phone or text before anything is booked. Ask for a written estimate and we send it the same day.
Usually the outside is where the damage shows. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots sit on the outer glass, and cleaning the interior does not fix them. We clean the exterior only on this visit.
Most of our Natick customers book cleanings in late spring and in the fall, after the leaf drop. Those are the two windows when the leaf and grit loads are heaviest, so booking early in those months gets you a slot sooner.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. When the glass gets washed first, the runoff from the gutters runs down across it and someone has to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and we use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass. Tracks are included on the outside of the window. None of these are billed as extras.
Not on this visit. The interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only. We do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
