Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. 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. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when the glass and gutters need it most.
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 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. Our crew works from those figures, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get a written estimate.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote more than anything else. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means more time on a boom or scissor lift. Large picture windows and oversized panes take longer per pane than standard sash windows. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before the flush. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Massachusetts, the way we arrive at the right number is the same. We ask how many stories the house has, and we count every window on the outside, not just the ones facing the street. A photo of the front of the house shows us the roofline and the glass, which is usually enough to avoid a surprise on the day. Clogged gutters that have sat for a season tend to carry grime and runoff down the wall, and that residue is part of what we remove before the glass is touched. We remove dirt from the gutters and the outside of the glass in the same visit, so you get clean windows and clear gutters on one quote.
Condos and multi-unit buildings often have shared gutter runs and a mix of window types, so we quote those by unit count and access rather than by a single house. The washing services we offer are the same across both, and window washing uses purified water on each unit so panes dry without streaks.
| 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 customers here book regular cleanings for the window and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the downspout elbows. Fall is when the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs over winter. Across Massachusetts, the storm season from nor'easters can shift both dates, so we look at the house as well as the calendar.
On our jobs in spring, the film shows up as a yellow haze on the glass, and the gutters hold a sticky mat that water cannot clear on its own. In fall, the leaf mat is the main problem, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often find runs that have started to sag under the weight of wet debris. Under heavy tree cover, the needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so those houses tend to need three or four visits a year instead of two.
Houses with a sprinkler line that hits the glass need the windows looked at more often, because the mineral spots return a day after cleaning and a standard wash will not remove them. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames and screens, and that is a reason for a third visit too. A house that stays clean between visits keeps its curb appeal, and each residential window on the lot stays clearer between cleanings. We tell you which of these applies to your lot after the first visit.
A window that needs cleaning sooner than planned shows haze you only notice when the sun is low in the sky. Gutters that need cleaning sooner than planned show water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Water alone clears most of that film, and cleaning solutions come out only where water will not lift it. Either sign is a reason to call us for a 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.
Our crew works across Rockland and the surrounding area, and the calendar is the main thing that changes how fast you can get on the schedule. To schedule service, start with an estimate by phone or text, where we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time varies by season, so we tell you the first open date when we give you the estimate rather than leaving it to guesswork.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills fastest in those stretches. If you want a slot in either window, book early and tell us your target month. Our crew provides window cleaning services, and they are the same across the city, so the work is the same whether you are on the north side or the south. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar.
We also work with residential and commercial customers, including property managers, building owners and homeowners who want one reliable crew for both the gutters and the glass. Professional window cleaning means the same two people handle the job from start to finish, and they know the house by the second visit. Our window cleaners reach the glass on multi-story buildings with a water-fed pole from the ground for most windows, and use the boom or scissor lift only where the height needs it.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of the clean windows and the cleared gutters to your phone before the crew leaves. Clogged gutters left alone for a season can lead to water damage at the fascia and the wall below, which is why we flag runs that need attention even when they are outside the scope of the visit.
Yes. The crew that does the glass is the same crew that clears the gutters, and they do both in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing dirty washes back onto clean windows.
We give you the number on the phone or by text, based on the stories and the approximate window count. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will send you a written estimate.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the film from spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that no interior cleaning touches. Those build up on every residential window faster than people expect, and they are what makes the glass look hazy when the sun is low.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in fall, which is when the film and leaves are heaviest. To schedule service, tell us your target month and we will give you the first open date. Across Massachusetts the same pattern holds, so spring and fall are the windows to plan around.
No. The crew clears the roof, the gutters and the downspouts first, waits for the wall to stop dripping, and only then cleans the windows. Gutters first, glass last is the order on every job.
Screens are rinsed and every sill is wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the standard visit as well, so you do not get a separate line item for them.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so interior and exterior cleaning are not combined here. We do not clean windows inside the house, and pressure washing is not part of this service.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers 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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
