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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, once the seed drop and the leaf drop are done.
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.
Our window cleaning services and gutter work are priced together. We quote the window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing the gutters and downspouts in the same visit costs less than booking the two separately. Our washing services come with one quote, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A steep roof or a third story takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add to the glass. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs the houses that take the most time are the ones where the glass has not been cleaned in a long while, so the grime sits in the frames. Runoff from a clogged run is the usual reason the sills stay dirty after a window-only visit, and we remove dirt from the frames while we are on the glass. The gutters on the same house tend to be full of the same wet debris that runs down onto the sills. Getting the exact figure is simple: send us the number of stories, the approximate window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we work the quote from that. Condos are priced the same way, from the stories, the window count and the building front. Across Massachusetts the houses we see most often carry more glass than people expect, so count the picture windows as well.

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 the window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. Once the seed drop is finished, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and a sticky paste packs the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load comes down, and the wet mat is what sags the runs. We do not use cleaning solutions on the glass; purified water does the work, so nothing is left to streak. The routine is the same for residential and commercial glass, booked on the same calendar.
On the glass in spring you see the film first, and in fall you see the spotting from runoff that dried on the frames over the summer. Storms and nor'easters move the dates, so we book the visit on the forecast rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass, where the spots come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site, where the grime lands faster than the seasons would suggest. We tell you which of those your lot has after the first visit, and we do not sell a third visit if your gutters are fine.
The haze shows up on picture windows only when the sun is low, and that is your sign the glass is due. Water sheeting over the edge in rain is the sign for the gutters. Most customers settle on two visits a year, and the regular cleanings we book cover the outside only. If you want the interior and exterior done, that is a separate booking.
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.
Booking starts with a quote. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we tell you the approximate window count and the price before anyone is scheduled. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we give you the date when we call back. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring seed drop and fall leaves, so book early in those months if you can.
We provide professional window cleaning services and gutter service for single-family houses and small buildings. Our crew works on multi-story buildings with a boom or scissor lift where a ladder cannot reach the glass safely. Window cleaners who only do the ground floor leave the upper panes dirty, and the gutter run above them is what sends the water down.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not come inside, so windows inside stay out of this visit. Clogged gutters are one of the main ways water damage gets into a wall, so the gutter run is part of the job. Our goal is curb appeal that lasts through the next visit, and a clear view from every room.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That is why the bundle costs less than two separate trips.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Send those by text or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the figure before the crew is booked.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, none of which interior cleaning touches. On a residential window the outside is what you see through the glass, so clean windows start there.
Most of our customers here book in spring, after the seed drop, and again in fall, after the leaves come down. Across Massachusetts that is the usual pattern for a visit.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the debris runs down the wall, so washing the glass after that keeps the panes clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside. None of it is billed as an extra.
Exterior only on this visit, on residential properties like yours. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing. If you want the inside done, schedule service with us separately, and we will text a photo of the roofline before we start.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. The crew sends photos of every run and every window before they leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
