The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dripping from the runs ends up on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall, and we keep the same crew on both jobs from start to finish. Call (866) 435-6328 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 gutter and professional 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. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The windows inside the house are not part of this quote, and we say so before we book. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal on a South Yarmouth street.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the ones the crew sees on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. A large count of windows or picture windows adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more passes before the water runs clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate problem that cleaning does not remove, and we say so when we see it.
To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many residential windows you have, and we ask about every window on the back. We will quote from that, and we will not change the number once the crew is on site unless you add work. Clogged gutters, water damage risk from overflow and multi-story buildings each change how long the ladder work takes, so the crew checks those on arrival and tells you before starting anything new. Cleaning services like this are priced the same way whether you book one visit or both, but the bundle is the better value for most houses.
For a window washing job that is separate from the gutters, we run the same crew and the same pole-fed water, and the quote still comes from stories and window count. Our window cleaners work from the ground where they can and from a boom or scissor lift where they cannot, and the price reflects which method the house needs. Purified water with no cleaning solutions is what leaves the clean windows without streaks.

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 South Yarmouth customers book both jobs twice a year, once in late spring and once in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Regular cleanings at those two points stop the film from building up. Across Massachusetts the spring visit usually runs late May to June, and the fall visit runs November to early December. Pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters through the spring, and leaves fill the runs in the fall. We find the film and paste heaviest at the spring visit, and the wet leaf mat in the fall, and the schedule follows those two seasons. Nor'easters across Massachusetts can move the dates, so we confirm each visit by phone before we come.
Some houses need more cleanings than two a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need more frequent attention. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on every window. On those houses we book three visits a year and we say so on the first estimate.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, schedule service and we will check it on the next 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.
We clean gutters and exterior windows on residential properties across South Yarmouth, from the houses near the main roads to the streets set back under older trees. Booking runs by phone or by text: you tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a quote and the next open date. Lead time depends on the season, and the crew will tell you the date on the first call instead of promising a slot we do not have. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, but we call before we come so you know the truck is on the way.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visit periods, when the film and leaf loads peak and our calendar fills. Booking early in those windows gets you the date you want. Outside those windows the calendar is looser, and a single visit is easier to fit in. Our washing services cover the glass and the gutters together, so the same crew handles grime on the windows and the water flow in the runs in one trip. The same crew also runs our window cleaning services when the gutters are not part of the order.
Our crew also works on condos and multi-unit buildings, where the job covers many windows and several runs. On those jobs we give a separate estimate by building, and the crew clears the runoff from the roofline before touching the glass. Before the glass, we remove dirt and debris from the gutters and downspouts, so the water drains and does not back up against the windows below.
Yes. Our crew does both gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, for residential and commercial buildings alike, so you deal with one company and one estimate. We start with the gutters and finish with the glass, which keeps the water from the runs off the clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328. Send a photo of the front and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have. The quote you get is the number you will pay.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and that is the part that decides curb appeal. The inside stays clean longer, but the outside is what the weather lays on the glass here, so the outside is where the haze comes from.
Most of our customers here settle into regular cleanings in late spring and late fall, when the film and leaves are heaviest. Text us a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which month fits your house. Across Massachusetts the pattern is the same, spring and fall.
Not on our jobs. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the runoff from the roof and the runs is cleared before the crew touches a pane. The reason is simple: water from a run washes down the wall onto any glass below it.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior visit, and picture windows get the same treatment. They are not billed as separate extras, and the crew puts the screens back in the window they came out of.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, and we do not clean the windows inside or do pressure washing. Work on the interior and exterior is separate, so ask us and we will tell you whether a separate visit fits.
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 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.
