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 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 it for the spring and fall, once each. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for a number we will stand behind.
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 quote gutter cleaning and window cleaning services 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 on the phone is the number on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds when it gets on the ladder. Multi-story buildings cost more to reach: a third story or a roof too steep to walk adds time. Oversized panes and a high window count mean more window washing by hand, with purified water instead of cleaning solutions on each pane. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles, leaves and grime, take longer to clear and haul. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are priced by the run. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is something no cleaning removes, so we flag it on the visit instead of pretending a wash will fix it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras.
On our Southbridge Town jobs the quotes that change most are the ones where the owner sends a photo of the front of the house before the visit. A two-story colonial with a deep porch and a row of narrow side windows needs a different setup than a flat-front split level, and a photo lets us plan the ladder work before the truck leaves. Text the front and the back of the house to (866) 435-6328 and ask for a written estimate, and we will send one back with the stories and window count spelled out so you can check it against the invoice. Our crew handles interior and exterior glass only on this visit, but we will note any picture windows and regular cleanings you want on the schedule so the next visit starts from the same number.
Across Massachusetts, the count that moves the final number most is how many windows face the street and how many face the back. The count gets the quote close, the photo gets it exact.
| 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.
Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book both gutter and window cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. Because both jobs run on the same calendar, one crew doing one visit makes more sense than two separate appointments. Our Southbridge Town crews work the same schedule for every residential window and gutter job. The same leaf mat builds up on residential and commercial buildings, so the timing below holds for both.
On the glass in spring we find a film of pollen on south-facing panes, and in the gutters a paste of seeds and needles. In fall the work is the wet leaf mat and the grit that packs the elbows of the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we call ahead rather than arriving on a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters coming back between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that return a day after washing, and a house close to a busy road or active construction collects dust faster than the glass can hold it. On those properties we plan a mid-season visit so the gutters do not hold water against the fascia through the rainy months, which is how water damage starts.
A sign the windows need attention: a faint haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. A sign the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either one between visits, text a photo and we will tell you which visit it belongs to.
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 cleans gutters and exterior windows across Southbridge Town, and we serve the whole city rather than a single block. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count and the time slot. Most estimates come back the same day, and the lead time for a booked visit is listed on your confirmation so you know what to expect.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring bloom drop and the late-fall leaf fall, when our calendar fills with the same cleaning services that homeowners and property managers both need. Booking early in those months gets you a slot you can plan around, and clean glass and gutters do a lot for curb appeal. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come, we keep the crew on the outside of the house, and we send the photos before the truck leaves.
Whether you need a single home done or a batch of properties on a schedule, we are set up for professional window cleaning and gutter service on the same visit, with the same crew and the same photo record. We clean every window we can reach from the ground or the pole. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or text a photo of the roofline and ask for the first available slot.
Yes, it is the same crew. Our two-person team does the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, with gutters first and glass last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. You get one appointment and one invoice.
Quotes for residential properties start from the number of stories, the approximate window count and what is in the gutters, and we give the number by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get it in writing.
Yes, because the outside carries the spring film, the rain dust that dries on the frames, and the sprinkler spots that build up on the lower panes. Those are the things that make a clean interior look dull from the street. Washing the outside is how you remove dirt from those surfaces. Our visit does not touch the windows inside the house.
Our Southbridge Town customers book in the late-spring pollen window and again in the fall after the leaves drop, which is when the glass and gutters carry the most buildup. Booking in one of those windows keeps the calendar from filling before you can get a slot.
No, because we clean gutters and downspouts first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the downspouts are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping. That order is the reason we do both jobs together.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are cleaned as part of the window work, and none of those are billed as extras on the invoice. Ask us about anything else you want on the list when you book.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this bundle. Interior glass and pressure washing are separate requests if you need them, and we will tell you up front whether we can do them.
No, 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. Our crew sends photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the truck leaves. If you live in a condo, text a photo of the building front first so we can tell you what the crew can reach.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
