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 booked together cost less than two separate trips. Our crews work on Tewksbury homes every spring and fall, so we know what the season leaves 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 price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Cleaning solutions are included in that number, and the quote covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work never get bundled into one price. Booking the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes how long the job takes. A high window count and oversized picture windows add time on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more work before any water can flow. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are quoted before the visit. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another matter: that mineral staining does not come off with cleaning, and we will tell you so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Each season we see the same pattern on Tewksbury homes. Pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters, and a cleaning handles both at once. Residential and commercial properties follow the same logic here, though the scope differs. For a homeowner, regular cleanings are simple: one crew, one visit, gutters and glass. The most useful thing you can send us is a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the number of stories. That gets you an exact number, not a guess.
| 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 Tewksbury customers book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both jobs in one visit makes sense. On our jobs the spring visit catches the film on south-facing glass and the paste packed in the downspout elbows, and the fall visit catches the wet leaf load before it freezes in the runs. Storm and wind seasons can shift those dates, so we book from what the house actually needs.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a home near a busy road or construction all leave more on the house between cleanings. Our crews see the sprinkler spots most clearly: they come back a day after the glass is done, which tells us the water is the source. Cleaning services cannot remove those on their own, so we flag them on the visit.
Residential window cleaners and gutter crews work the same calendar here, and a professional window cleaning visit fits neatly beside a gutter run. Gutters that go too long without clearing turn into clogged gutters, and the overflow runs down the siding into the foundation, where it becomes water damage. Multi-story buildings and tall homes take longer on both jobs, which is one more reason to plan the visit around the season rather than around a problem. Our visit covers exterior glass, so windows inside stay on your own calendar.
You can tell the glass needs cleaning when you see a haze that only shows in low sun. Dirty glass also takes away from curb appeal long before anyone inside notices. You can tell the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 crews clean window and gutter jobs across Tewksbury, and we schedule service around the spring and fall busy windows when our calendar fills. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text estimate that uses the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Most jobs are scheduled ahead, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew never comes inside.
We clean every window on the outside of the house that can be safely reached, including upper-story panes from the pole. The sill and frame get wiped with each pane, so the glass is not the only part that looks finished. Our residential properties work is the core of the Tewksbury schedule, and we book window and gutter cleaning for those homes most often.
Yes. Our crew does both, so booking one of our window cleaning services covers the gutters too, with the same two people on the same visit. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the dirty water never runs back onto clean windows.
We don't quote a range here, because the number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front of the house and the story count, or call (866) 435-6328, and you get the exact figure before the crew is booked.
Often yes, because the outside takes most of the load in Tewksbury. Pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots all build up outside, and that grime is what dulls the glass from the street. A cleaning is the way to remove dirt from that glass.
Most of our Tewksbury customers book in late spring and again in fall, which is when the leaves come down. Across Massachusetts the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and the fall visit in October to early November.
Not if the gutters are done first. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and runoff come down the wall, so we blow off the roof, clear the gutters, flush every downspout and let the wall drain before we touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our washing services, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing on it. The same exterior-only rule applies to condos.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
