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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book it for the spring and fall cleanings, when the pollen and leaf load are heaviest on the house. Call (866) 435-6328 for an estimate.
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, and the same method covers residential and commercial jobs. 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 window washing is quoted the same way.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count, picture windows and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened 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. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. If a stain needs more than water, the crew names the cleaning solutions on the estimate before any of them are used.
Our Norton jobs show how this plays out. We tell you the number from stories, window count and a photo of the front of the house sent by text, so you get the exact figure before we book. Professional window cleaning on a house with curb appeal to protect costs the same as on any other house once the stories and glass are counted. Clogged gutters that have sat through a winter are where most surprises start, and we say so before the crew comes out. Multi-story buildings and older frames with water damage need a closer look, which is why the estimate starts with a photo.

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.
On our Norton jobs most 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 the calendar, and regular cleanings on that schedule catch most of the buildup before it sets.
What we find at each visit comes from the glass and the gutters themselves. In the spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and sticky tree residue packs the gutters, and by fall the leaf load is what we clear before anything else. Nor'easters across Massachusetts move the dates, so we book around them rather than on a fixed date.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass than a quiet street does. For a residential window we see the same pattern on residential properties, and for clean windows the schedule service is set by how much the house actually collects, not by the calendar alone.
You will know the windows need it when the haze shows only in low sun. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain.
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 work across Norton and book slots by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, so you can get the estimate first and decide when it suits your calendar. The estimate needs the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, because the crew works outside and does not come inside.
Our washing services cover the outside of the house in one visit, which is the window cleaning services and the gutters and downspouts together, with runoff from the roof handled in the same pass. The crew cleans every window on the outside of the house that it can reach from the ground or the pole. We do not promise same-day service; the lead time comes from the calendar and we tell you what it is when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and our calendar fills in those weeks. Book early if you want a specific date. We remove dirt from the glass and the gutter line in one job, and we do the same for condos with several units on a single frame.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters washes down onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the exact figure before we book.
Yes, because the outside carries the dust, rain grime and sprinkler spots that build up between cleanings. The inside can be perfect and the outside still hazes in low sun.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, and the spring visit comes after the early-season buildup. Book early for those weeks by calling (866) 435-6328, since the calendar fills.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, the leaves and grit from the gutters run down the wall and across it, so we avoid that order.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when we are already on the glass, and you are not billed for them separately.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing. Of the interior and exterior glass, this visit covers only the exterior, so the crew works on the outside of the windows and the gutters.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, 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.
