Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the clean windows are not dirtied again after the crew leaves. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book spring and fall, and that is when we see the pollen and leaves that build up on both gutters and glass.
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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer on the ladder. Oversized panes, including picture windows, and large window counts take longer on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more time per run. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Massachusetts, the easiest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and roughly how many windows face the street and the back. From that we can tell you whether the gutters will need a single pass or more, and whether the glass has any of the spotting that needs a separate treatment. Washing services and window washing are quoted the same way, from the same photo, so there is no surprise on the invoice.
Our crews do the same work on condos, on single-family homes and on other residential properties, and the same rule applies to all of them: we look at what is in the gutters and on the glass before we quote. Water runoff from a roof that is clogged is the most common reason a gutter overflows after a rain, and the gutter has to be cleared before anyone can tell if the slope is also a problem. We remove dirt from the glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, which dries without leaving a film, so the window is clean without any soap residue. When we are done you get photos of every run and every window before the crew leaves.

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 gutters and windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the same calendar.
In spring the pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the downspout elbows. The window and gutter work both pick up the same residue, which is why the two jobs fit into one day. In fall the leaf load builds up in the gutters and the rain washes the grime down the wall onto the lower panes. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks, so we book around the forecast rather than a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. 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 a mineral treatment rather than another pass. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than one set back from the street. We cover all of the regular cleanings, from the spring visit to the fall visit, with the same crew and the same photos.
A residential window is simple to judge from inside the house: you see a haze only when the sun is low, and that haze is the sign the glass needs cleaning. Gutters tell you the same way, when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running through the downspout. Once you see either sign, the job is overdue.
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 across Massachusetts and book Stoneham as part of our regular route. To get on the schedule, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the quote from there. Our calendar fills in the spring and fall windows, so booking early in those months gets you the day you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know when to expect us. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the next open date when you call.
We are a crew that works on residential and commercial buildings for homeowners and property managers who want professional window cleaning without a long wait. Our window cleaning services for gutters and windows are scheduled as one job, which keeps the curb appeal of the house intact through the season. Our window cleaners work from a pole with purified water, so there is no ladder on the siding for the glass. For clogged gutters, the crew clears the run and flushes each downspout, and for multi-story buildings we bring the lift needed to reach the upper runs safely. Water damage from an overflowing gutter is the thing we look for first on every visit, because it costs far more to repair than it does to clean.
Yes. Our crew cleans both the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. The same two people do the roof, the gutters and the glass, gutters first and glass last.
The number depends on the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you the number before we book.
On our jobs, yes, because the outside carries most of what the glass collects here. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots all land on the outside first, and they dull the window long before the inside looks dirty.
Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book in spring and in fall, and that is when we see the pollen and the leaf load on both the gutters and the glass. Ask us to schedule service for the season you want, and we will confirm the date.
Not if the order is right. Gutters first, glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall and across any window below it, so the glass has to wait until the gutters and downspouts are finished.
We clean every residential window on the outside, and the screens and sills come with the job, not as extras. Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit.
The windows inside are not part of this visit, because interior and exterior glass are different jobs. We clean the exterior glass only and do not do pressure washing on a window and gutter visit.
No, 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.
