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 has been doing this work on Saugus homes for years, and most of our Saugus customers book it in the spring and the fall. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us your story count.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window washing and the gutter work go on the same quote, so one visit gets one number. Our window cleaning services and washing services are quoted from the same two numbers. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Starting prices are where a job begins, and the quote is built from your house once we know its size.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. A window count that runs high, or picture windows that are big and need more care, adds to the job. The clogged gutters that nobody has opened in years take longer to clear, and a season of grime takes more time than a light dust. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the price. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something a cleaning will not remove, and we tell you about it before we start. Soft trim with water damage gets flagged before the ladder goes up. The interior and exterior of a window are not the same job, and only the outside is on this quote. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how we get to your number. Send us a text with the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house, and we come back with a figure in writing. Most of the time the photo is enough to see the roofline and the glass, and nothing needs to be measured on the phone. Regular cleanings keep the job smaller each time, so the quote on a repeat visit usually comes in lower than the first one. For a house that has not been done in a while, expect the first visit to carry more of the work.

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, the customers who book both jobs most often do it twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Booking window and gutter cleaning together means one crew and one trip. In the spring the glass picks up a dusty film on the south side, and the gutters hold pollen paste that clogs the downspouts. A pollen film comes off with a plain rinse, so we use gentle cleaning solutions that do not streak. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that matters, along with the wind and the first storms that come through before the freeze.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps seeds and needles coming in between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after the windows are cleaned. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grit faster than most, and multi-story buildings take longer because the ladder moves more often. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so the haze you see from the street is the outside glass we clean. For those houses we suggest the schedule that fits what we find on the first visit.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a hard rain, instead of running down the downspout. Left alone, that overflow is how water damage starts at the fascia.
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 cleaning services across Saugus, and the city is where most of our calendar is booked in the spring and fall. Booking works the way it sounds: call (866) 435-6328 or text us, tell us the number of stories, and send a photo of the house front so we can see the roofline and the glass. We will give you a written estimate, and a date when the schedule has room. The two busy windows of the year fill fastest, so the earlier you ask, the more choice you have on the day. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our window cleaners work on every window the house has, including the sill and the frame, so the finished job is complete from the ground to the top story. If you own a residential and commercial building, text us the stories and a photo and we will tell you whether the same crew can take it. Keeping curb appeal up through the season is the point of professional window cleaning, and we can schedule service for a second visit once the first one is done.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We clean gutters first and the glass last, so nothing falls back onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We will not guess it from a sentence here. Text a photo of the front of the house with your story count and we will send a written estimate.
On our Saugus jobs, the outside carries most of what dulls a residential window: pollen, road dust and sprinkler spots. Interior glass does not pick those up, so a clean inside will still look hazy from outside. Cleaning the outside is where the difference shows.
Across Massachusetts, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit in late October to November, once the leaves are down. Booking early in those windows gives you more choice of day. If you own one of the condos in a complex, ask the association who handles the gutters before you book.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. Runoff from a cleared run carries leaves and grit down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters and downspouts are finished.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are cleaned as part of the window job. They are not billed as extras, and the frame work is how we remove dirt that the glass alone would leave behind.
Not on this visit. This is exterior glass only, on residential properties. We do not clean the windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
