Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of every residential window in one visit. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the dirty water never lands on clean windows. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book it for spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves build up. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house for a quote.
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 our window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Professional window cleaning is quoted on what the crew sees, not a flat rate from a list. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones the crew sees before the ladder goes up. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more setup, and multi-story buildings take the same extra setup. Oversized picture windows and a large window count add time on the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years come down heavy, and when they are packed with needles and leaves we spend extra time clearing them. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a different problem from dirt, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it and tell you what it will take. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside the house are not part of this quote.
Our Quincy jobs have taught us how much tree cover and how many visits a house needs, and we will tell you what we see once we are on the house. Water damage that starts at a clogged run usually shows up on the wall under it first, so we look at that spot on every visit. Curb appeal is what most owners are after when they call, and a clean run and a clean front window get them there. We send a photo of every run and every window before we leave, so you can see what was done.
To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to quote the job, and we will confirm the number before the crew books your 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 Quincy customers book cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on a house like this. Across Massachusetts, the spring visit lands in late May to June, and our fall visit runs late October to November. In spring we are clearing the pollen film off south-facing glass and the pollen paste out of the gutter elbows. In fall we are clearing the leaf load before the first hard freeze, when wet leaves start to sag the runs. Storms and wind seasons can shift those dates by a few weeks, so we keep the calendar open and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings, so those customers ask us to schedule service every three to four months as part of regular cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and the runoff from it marks the sill below, so those need to be watched through the season. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime on the outside glass than a quiet street does.
A residential window needs a cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low, or when the sill and frame have a film you can wipe on a white cloth. Gutters need clearing when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout. Those two signs are the easiest way to tell when it is time to call for clean windows and clear gutters.
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 washing services cover gutters and downspouts and the outside of windows across Quincy, and we keep a slot open for both jobs in the same visit so you are not waiting twice. Our window cleaning services are booked with the gutter work as one job, and the quote splits the interior and exterior clearly: outside glass and gutters are our job, and inside glass is not. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text: call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the job and the date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills first. Booking early in those months gives you the widest choice of dates. Our crew works on residential properties and on condos, and the process is the same for residential and commercial jobs: estimate, date, one visit, photos. The crew works to remove dirt from the glass and the gutters in that one visit, and we tell you what is left. We tell you what is done and what is not, up front, so there are no surprises on the invoice. If a job needs a second look, we tell you before we leave, not after.
Yes, it is the same crew. We are window cleaners who also clear gutters, and both jobs happen in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. We do not quote a range from a list.
On our jobs in Quincy, the outside of the glass carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the outside of the window is where the dirt actually sits. Interior glass gets less of that load. We clean the glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to dry as a film.
Most of our Quincy customers book in spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest. Across Massachusetts, the same two windows are the busy ones for us.
Gutters go first because the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall and across any window below it. If the glass was washed first, someone has to wash it again before we are off the ladder, so we do it in the order that keeps the glass clean.
Yes, screens, sills and tracks are part of the job when they are on the exterior of the house. We rinse the screens and wipe the sills, and we tell you about any track that needs more work.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows, and we do not do pressure washing as part of the job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
