Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We are the TrueEdge crew, and we price the job by the number of stories and the rough window count, so booking both together costs less than two separate trips. On our New Bedford jobs, most customers book this in the spring and the fall, when the glass and the gutters both need it most.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is built from those inputs before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely, and oversized picture windows take more time to clean without streaks. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more work before they run clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can clear the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, because no cleaning removes it. Cleaning solutions are included in the price, and the time on the ladder and the pole work are what set it. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house. Mention any spots you see on the glass and whether the gutters overflow in rain. We can then tell you the figure on the phone, and that is the figure you will see on the invoice. A window and gutter bundle lets one crew handle both in a single visit, which is why most of our customers ask for the combined service instead of two separate bookings.
Our crew has found that the residential properties that are easiest to price are the ones where the owner can tell us the stories and an approximate count of the windows ahead of time. The picture windows and the older double-hung units both take a little more care, and the crew will say so when they walk the property. Keep in mind that a regular cleanings schedule keeps each visit faster, because there is less buildup to remove. For a residential window and gutter job, that usually means the second visit costs less than the first.

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 New Bedford customers book both services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and one crew in one visit makes that schedule simple. We have seen that these seasonal cleanings keep both the gutters and the glass in good shape through the year.
In the spring, the gutters often hold seeds, pollen paste and the first of the tree debris, and the glass collects a pollen film that shows up on south-facing panes. In the fall, the gutters fill with wet leaves, and the glass shows the grime and rain dust that built up over the summer. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, and heavy runoff from a clogged roof can carry grime onto the glass below, so we keep an eye on the weather and call before we arrive.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, so cleaning services on those homes run more often. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate treatment. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the glass and in the gutters, and window cleaners find that the glass gets dirty faster there.
Professional window cleaning on a regular schedule protects the curb appeal of the house and keeps the windows clear. Multi-story buildings and tall homes benefit from the same schedule, because the upper glass shows the grime first. Clogged gutters are the other thing to watch, because overflowing water can cause water damage at the fascia and the foundation.
You will see the sign that the windows need cleaning as a haze that appears only when the sun is low. The sign that the gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in rain, rather than running down the downspouts.
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 New Bedford, and we book window and gutter cleaning through a phone call or a text with the stories and a photo of the house front. The estimate comes from those details, so we can tell you the number before we set a date. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we will give you the window we can offer when you call. If a building is residential and commercial, say so on the call, because the quote depends on which parts we clean.
The busy windows are the spring and the fall, when the pollen and the leaves arrive, so the schedule fills faster in those months. Booking early in those months gives you more choice of dates, and condos with shared gutter runs should mention it when they call. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, since the crew does not come inside, but we call before we come so you know when to expect us.
For residential properties, our window cleaning services cover every window on the outside, along with the frames and the sills, and we check the gutters from the ground and the roof. Our goal is to leave clean windows and clear gutters that stay that way until the next visit. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text, and we will confirm the details by phone.
Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run back onto clean panes.
We give the number on the phone or by text for these washing services, based on the stories and the size of the house. Send us the stories and a rough window count, and we will tell you the figure before we book.
Yes, because the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and rain alone does not remove dirt from exterior glass. Those films and spots sit on the exterior glass even when the inside looks fine.
Across Massachusetts, the spring visit usually falls late May to June, and our fall visits in New Bedford run November to early December. Those are the windows when our calendar fills fastest, so calling early helps.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters runs onto the panes afterward. When the order is reversed, the glass gets washed twice and streaks more often.
Sills are wiped and screens are rinsed as part of the visit, and tracks are included on our standard exterior service. Nothing on that list is billed separately as an extra.
Interior and exterior glass are different jobs. We do exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside the house are not cleaned, and we do not do pressure washing of the siding. If you want those, we can tell you who to call for the work.
You do not need to be home, because the crew works outside and sends photos of every run before leaving. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
