Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Most of our Newton customers book it in the spring and the fall.
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.
The price depends on your stories and how many windows you have. We give the number on the phone or by text from those two things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Window washing and gutter work done in one visit come out lower than booking the two separately, and the saving is shown on your estimate.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized picture windows, gutters nobody has opened in years, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated. Condos are priced the same way, by stories and window count. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one thing we see that cleaning will not remove, and we say so on the estimate rather than after the fact.
To get an exact figure, tell us your stories and send a photo of the front of the house by text. We will call back with the number before anyone is scheduled, and the crew will confirm it on site before they start.

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 Newton customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Regular cleanings keep both jobs from falling behind. In the spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and sticky grit packs into the gutters. On that south-facing glass the crew uses cleaning solutions, because a plain rinse does not lift the film. In the fall the leaf load comes down and clogged gutters hold wet leaves through the rainy weeks.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, runoff from a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road or active construction all put more grime on the windows between cleanings. Those are the houses where the spots come back a day after cleaning and where the downspouts clog faster than the calendar.
You will notice windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low, because rain alone will not remove dirt from the glass. You will notice gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign is a good reason to call, and we will tell you on the visit whether a third trip is worth it for your lot.
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 cleaning services cover all of Newton, for residential and commercial buildings alike, and the same crew handles the gutters and exterior windows for homeowners and professional window cleaning customers. To schedule service, start with a quick estimate by phone or text: tell us your stories and send a photo of the house front, and we set a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The busy stretches are the two seasonal windows when tree dust and leaves hit at once. Multi-story buildings take longer, and the estimate says so. Our calendar fills then, so book early if you want a particular week. Outside those windows, booking is usually a short wait. Left through a wet season, clogged gutters can lead to water damage at the fascia.
Cleaning services of this kind are only as good as the crew doing them, and we keep the same two people on Newton jobs so the work looks the same from one visit to the next. Curb appeal depends on the glass and the gutters together, and that is why we do both in one visit. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get your estimate.
Yes. A residential window and its gutter run are done by the same two people on one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the gutter water does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from your stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the figure before we book.
Usually the outside carries more of the dirt in Newton: pollen in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. Those build up on every window in the house, outside, whether or not the inside is clean.
Across Massachusetts, the spring visit falls in late May to June. Most residential properties in Newton book the fall visit in late October to November, after the leaves come down, and that keeps the glass and gutters clean through the season.
Not on our jobs. We clear the runs, flush the downspouts, and wait a few minutes before the glass gets touched, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on exterior work and are not billed as a separate line.
Exterior only on this visit. Some customers ask about interior and exterior glass together, but we do not clean the windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing, so the work stays on the outside of the windows and the gutters.
No, 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.
