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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Peabody customers book this in the spring and fall, and we keep the same schedule for every house on our route.
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 and gutter cleaning on residential properties by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and the window count, or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm it before anyone books.
On our jobs the things that change the quote are predictable. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings take the longest. Oversized panes and a high count of window washing services add minutes at every window. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one thing that cleaning solutions alone do not lift, and we tell you about it before the crew starts. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our crew handles picture windows and the big panes on the front of the house the same way as the rest, with purified water and a pole, so the glass dries without streaks. For a bundled visit, the job is priced once for the whole house, which is why we ask for the stories and the window count up front. Our regular cleanings on a schedule are priced the same way each visit, and the number we quoted you is what appears on the invoice.
On our Peabody jobs the most useful thing you can send us is a photo of the front of the house with the stories visible, and a rough count of the windows on the outside. From there we can usually give you a firm written estimate before you commit to a date.

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 Peabody customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, in late May or June and again in late October or November, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In spring the pollen film on the south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are the main work, and in fall it is the wet leaf mat that causes clogged gutters before the first hard freeze.
Our crew sees the same things each season. The leaf load in the fall visit is heavier on residential and commercial buildings near trees, and the wind and nor'easter weeks across Massachusetts can move both dates. Houses under heavy tree cover, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction often need a third visit, because the spots and the grime come back faster there.
You will notice when the windows need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low, or spots that come back a day after rain. You will notice when the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout, which is an early sign of water damage at the wall. Those are the signs we look for on every visit, and they are the ones to watch between cleanings.
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 provides window cleaning services and gutter work across many of Peabody's neighborhoods, and we schedule each visit around the route so the truck is not idle between houses. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with a rough count of stories and windows. We will give you an estimate and a date, and we call before we come, so you are never surprised by a ladder in the driveway.
Booking moves fastest in the two busy windows of the year, when the spring tree season and the fall leaf drop fill our calendar. Outside those weeks we can usually find a slot without a long wait, and we keep a short list for cancellations. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. Our professional window cleaning is done with purified water and a pole, so the glass is cleaned to the sill and the frame on every window, not just the ones easy to reach from the ground.
Our window cleaners and the gutter crew are the same two people, which means one schedule, one visit and one invoice. Good curb appeal starts with clean glass and clear runs, and one visit covers both. If you want to schedule service for a different time, tell us when you can be reached and we will work with you.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first and the glass last. That order keeps the runoff from the gutters off the clean glass.
We give the number from the stories and the residential window count, not from a general range. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the exact figure before you book.
On our jobs the outside carries most of what the glass collects here: tree residue in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. The windows inside the house usually collect less, so the exterior is where the grime builds up, and outside cleaning is how we remove dirt from the glass.
Most of our Peabody customers book in the spring and the fall, the two times the tree residue and the leaf drop build up. Those are the visits we schedule first each year.
No, as long as the gutters come first. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall and across any window below it, so we clear the gutters and downspouts, then wait a few minutes before touching the glass.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the exterior visit, and any hard-water staining that needs a separate treatment is quoted before the crew starts.
We do exterior windows and gutters only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing, and we tell you that up front so nothing is a surprise on the day. Some customers ask for interior and exterior work at once, and this visit covers the outside only. If your home is one of the condos in a shared building, check with the association first, since it may own the gutters and the outside glass.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. The crew sends photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before they leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
