Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works across Massachusetts every spring and fall, and most of our Palmer Town customers book both in one visit.
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 window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing gutters and exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and the saving for the bundle is shown on your estimate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Steep roofs and multi-story buildings take longer to work safely. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more hours than a light run. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate job that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The price covers the outside only, so windows inside are not part of this price.
On a Palmer Town house we cleaned recently, the quote came down to stories, window count and a gutter run that had not been opened in several seasons, which is what we usually see. Customers who want the exact number should call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with a figure before the crew is booked. Our work is professional window cleaning and gutter work, done with the same ladders and the same water on every visit, so the quote holds from the first phone call to the invoice. When you compare window cleaners, ask whether the quote includes the gutter run, since that is where the time goes and where the quote changes most. A clear gutter line also does a lot for curb appeal from the street.

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.
Across Massachusetts most customers book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, so clean windows and clear gutters are ready for each season. Our Palmer Town customers book on the same calendar, and you can schedule service by phone or text.
In spring we find the pollen film on every window that faces south and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall the leaf load and wet leaf mat are what block the downspouts before the first hard freeze. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack 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 picks up more grime than the rest. Most cleaning services we see on residential properties with those conditions end up on a shorter schedule, and our crew will tell you which one your house needs after the first visit.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 Palmer Town, offering window washing services and gutter work, and sets a slot once we have the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Booking starts with a phone call or a text, and the lead time we quote is the one that applies to your street. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. To lock in a date, call (866) 435-6328.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and the calendar fills quickly then. Book early in those months and you will get the date you want. The crew does residential window cleaning services and gutter work on houses, and it takes on residential and commercial jobs alike, from small condos to office buildings, each with the same visit order.
Our crew has cleaned the glass and gutters on houses across the town to remove dirt from the roof edge and the glass, and each visit ends with photos of the runs and the finished windows sent to you before the crew leaves. Clogged gutters bring runoff against the foundation, which is how water damage starts, so we keep the gutters and downspouts clear on the same visit as the glass.
Yes, our crew does both on the same visit, gutters first and glass last. The same two people do the roof, the runs and the glass, so nothing is passed to a second company. The crew takes residential and commercial jobs the same way.
We do not quote a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the window count, and you get it by phone or text before the crew is booked.
On our jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between cleanings, and that is what dulls the glass from outside. Large picture windows show every streak and spot first, so they are usually the first to need it. Keep in mind that interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only.
Across Massachusetts the spring visit runs late May to June, and the fall visit runs October to early November. Most of our Palmer Town customers book both, and regular cleanings keep the windows and gutters on that calendar. We fill those windows first, so book early.
No, we clean gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the roof is finished before anyone washes a window. Doing it in the other order means washing the glass twice.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are part of the visit. Those are included in the job, not billed as extras.
We do not clean the inside of the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. The work is exterior glass and gutters only, done with water-fed poles and purified water rather than cleaning solutions.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked, and our crew handles the rest.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
