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 drips back onto clean panes. Pricing is by the number of stories, and both jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book this spring and fall, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and professional window cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate from those two details.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof changes how the crew sets up. Oversized panes and a lot of window count add time to the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down heavier, and a run that overflows can lead to water damage on the wall below. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a regular cleaning, and spotting like that hurts curb appeal, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how we price a Springfield window washing job in practice. We ask for the stories and the window count, and a photo of the house front by text helps us see the roofline. From a neighborhood house with tree cover over the roof, one customer's quote went up because the gutters were packed with needles and the back run was on a walk-out, and that is the kind of detail that changes the number. Ask us for the exact figure before you book, because the estimate is built from what is on your house, not a template.
| 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 in Springfield book both twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load comes down wet, and a sagging run is often what we find after a winter has started on a neglected roof. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we schedule service by what the house needs rather than the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we leave. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more dust on the glass, and those customers tend to book sooner. Residential properties like these are the ones where we ask for a photo of the roofline before the first visit. Our crew keeps every window and every run on the same schedule so the frame and sill are done along with the glass.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze in the glass only in low sun, since clean windows look clear from every angle. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign is reason enough to call and book a date.
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 work on residential and commercial buildings across Springfield and book it by the stories and window count, with a photo of the house front by text as the first step. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you an estimate on the phone, then set a date. Typical lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the open dates when you call. In the two busy windows of the year, late spring and fall, our calendar fills, so booking early keeps your slot. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our window cleaning services and gutter work run on one crew, so you deal with one company for the outside of the house. The jobs we see most often include older homes with heavy grime on the glass, multi-story buildings and condos where several units share the same roofline, and houses where runoff from one roof is staining the wall below. We clean the glass and the gutters and downspouts in one pass, and we remove dirt from the sill and frame as we go. Ask for a written estimate if you want to compare our washing services with a quote from a company that only does one of the two.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order is what keeps dirty gutter water off the clean panes.
We give you the number by phone or text, and it comes from the stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters. We do not quote a range without seeing the house, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Usually yes, because the outside of a residential window takes the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between regular cleanings. Interior and exterior cleaning are separate jobs, and we only do the exterior on this visit.
Most of our Springfield customers book in late spring and again in fall. Those are the two windows when pollen and leaves are heaviest, and booking early keeps your slot.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the windows, so nothing runs back onto the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job, and picture windows get the same treatment. They are not billed as extras.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do windows inside the house or pressure washing, so ask us about those separately if you need them. The cleaning solutions we use on the exterior glass and frames are the same on every job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Our crew sends photos of every run to your phone before they leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
