Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runoff-dirty ends up on 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. On our Sandwich jobs, most customers book these two visits in spring and fall.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Get the exact figure by texting us a photo of the front of the house along with the story count.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones every time: a third story or a steep roof the crew cannot walk, window count and oversized picture windows, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts are cleaned, screens rinsed and sills wiped as part of the job, not billed as extras.
Cleaning solutions are not the variable here; access and how much grime has built up are. A house that has had its gutters cleared every spring is quicker and cleaner than one that has gone three years without, and the glass takes less time when it has had regular cleanings. We call before we come, and the number on the invoice matches the one quoted.
Across Massachusetts, residential and commercial jobs follow the same logic: stories, access, and how packed the gutters are. Quotes for multi-story buildings work the same way. Text a photo of the roofline and ask for a written estimate, and we will send one back by the end of the day.

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 Sandwich customers book professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning twice a year, in late spring and in late fall, and one crew in one visit makes sense for both. Spring visits are when the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. Fall visits are when the leaf load and the wet leaf mat block the downspouts before the first hard freeze.
Heavy tree cover over the roof puts a house on a three- or four-visit schedule, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves round spots that come back a day later, and those need a third visit. Houses near a busy road or active construction also collect more grime and need closer attention.
A window needs cleaning when you see haze only when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout, because that spill is how water damage starts at the fascia. Clean glass and clear gutters keep curb appeal up between visits.
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 has cleaned windows and gutters across the city of Sandwich for residential properties, condos and small commercial sites alike. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Lead time is in the schedule service section of our calendar, and it depends on the season.
The busy weeks are the two seasons when leaves and grit are heaviest, and our calendar fills in those weeks. Book early if you want a specific morning. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Our window and gutter cleaning is built so that every window and every sill gets the same attention, and each residential window gets the same purified water rinse as the rest of the glass. Clean windows are the result we track on each job.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, with the gutters done first and the glass last, so you do not book two separate washing services. Doing it in that order keeps the grime from the gutters off the clean windows below.
We do not quote a figure over the page. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will send a written estimate.
In Sandwich the outside takes rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those build up faster than the inside. Regular cleaning helps remove dirt before it dries onto the glass and the frames, which keeps the sill from holding runoff.
Our customers here book in late spring and late fall, when leaves are heaviest. The calendar fills in those weeks, so booking early gets you the morning you want.
Not if we do it in the right order. Gutters first, glass last, so any runoff from the gutters is rinsed away before we touch the windows. That is the reason the two jobs belong in one visit.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. They are not billed as extras, and we will tell you on the phone what is included.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and we do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing, so those are not part of this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
