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 booking them separately. On our Norwood jobs, most customers book this combined visit in the spring and again in the fall, which is when grime and leaves build up. You can text a photo of the front of the house or call (866) 435-6328 to get your number.
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 give one number, by phone or text, from the stories and the approximate window count. The number we quote is the number you pay: cleaning solutions, downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are already part of the job rather than billed as extras. A quote on a two-story house with a steep roof will sit higher than one on a single story, and a steep roof or a third story is the first thing that changes our time on site.
Window and gutter work is priced together, and what moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: oversized panes and picture windows that take longer per pane, 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 a sprinkler line that cleaning will not remove. A house on a regular schedule with clear gutters costs less to bring back to clean than one that has gone a year without.
Here is what a regular schedule looks like on our side. Pollen film on south-facing glass and paste in the downspouts builds quickly in spring, and the cleanings get heavier if we only come once a year. The same gutters on a regular cycle take less time per visit, which is why we talk to every customer about regular cleanings rather than one large job after a long gap.
When we give a figure for a house in Norwood, it comes from the photos and the stories, not from a guess. Text a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has, and we will send back a written estimate before anyone is scheduled. Ask us for that estimate and the work is quoted in writing, so nothing changes on the day. The figure covers exterior work only, so interior and exterior glass never share one number.
| 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.
Most of our Norwood customers book our cleaning services for both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. At each visit we find something specific: the film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutters in the spring, and the wet leaf mat in the fall. Storms and wind seasons move the dates, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed day. Professional window cleaning on this schedule keeps the film from building up between visits.
Some houses need a third visit, and we say so after the first one. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction tends to leave residue faster than a house in the open. Multi-story buildings and older homes with long gutter runs also tend to need the extra pass. Window cleaners who only do the glass tend to leave the gutters for a second trip.
On the windows, the sign that it is time is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, usually on the sunny side of the house. Haze on the windows inside the house is not what this visit fixes, because the film sits on the outside glass. On the gutters, the sign is water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain, because clogged gutters let water run where it should not, and that water can lead to water damage at the eaves. Clean glass also helps curb appeal on a house that faces the road. Neither is a DIY job, and neither should wait for the next scheduled visit.
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 have cleaned gutters and exterior windows across the Norwood area on residential properties, and we book a window and gutter cleaning visit the same way for each one. A residential window job starts with an estimate by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the date before the crew comes out. Lead time is listed on your estimate, so you know when the slot is before you commit. This page covers houses only, so a residential and commercial job is a different conversation.
The busiest weeks of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills in both. Booking ahead in those months keeps your slot, and if you are on the regular schedule we hold the next visit for you. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Every window on the outside of the house gets cleaned, including the upper floors, and the sill and frame are wiped with each one. Clean windows and clear gutters are the two halves of the same visit, so we schedule them together and schedule service around the weather.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts, then the outside of the windows, in one visit, and they do the gutters first and the glass last. Doing it in that order keeps the dirty water from the roof off the clean glass.
We give one number from the stories and the approximate window count, and it covers our window cleaning services and the gutter work together. Text us a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and you will get a written estimate before anything is booked.
On our Norwood jobs the outside carries most of the grime: the spring film, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. Clean inside glass does not help if the outside is hazed, and a hose rinse will not remove dirt that has dried on the pane, so the outside is what we clean on this visit.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and again in the fall. The spring visit clears the pollen and the fall visit clears the leaves, and booking a few weeks ahead keeps your slot in those busy months.
Not if the order is right. Gutters first, glass last: the roof is cleared, the downspouts are flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then does anyone touch the glass, so the runoff from the roof never lands on clean panes.
Screens are rinsed, and sills are wiped with each window as part of the visit. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside. We tell you what we did and what we did not on the invoice.
Not on this visit. Our washing services stop at the exterior glass, and we do not do interior cleaning or pressure washing as part of this bundle.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in a condo, call us first, because shared gutters and exterior glass may be quoted differently.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
