Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when the leaves are heaviest.
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.
Many window cleaners quote the glass alone, but we price window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. On multi-story buildings, the ladder takes more time, and so does a steep roof. Oversized picture windows and a high window count add glass to wash. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaf grit, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit. A gutter that has overflowed for a season can leave water damage on the fascia, and we flag that as a repair rather than clean around it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The glass is done with purified water, not cleaning solutions, so there is nothing left to rinse off.
Across Massachusetts, the houses that call us most often have the same pattern: the gutters carry a seasonal load of pollen paste and grit, and the glass carries a film of grime that only shows up when the sun is low. On our jobs, the quickest way to get an exact number is to send us a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the number of stories and a rough count of windows. We will confirm it on the phone before the crew comes out. Houses on a schedule of regular cleanings keep the load small, and that keeps the quote lower.

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 homes book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Plenty of people book cleaning services only once a year, but twice is what we see most, and regular cleanings on that schedule keep the load off the gutters.
In spring, the gutters hold pollen paste and seeds, and the south-facing glass carries a dusty film. In fall, clogged gutters are what we clear most, and the wet leaf mat is what sags the runs under ice. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that most often with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects dust faster than the rest, and that dust has to be rinsed to remove dirt from the frame before it runs back down the glass.
Windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass also helps curb appeal on the street side. Our crew checks both on every visit and tells you what it finds.
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 windows across Tyngsborough, and professional window cleaning is only part of each visit. We set up each visit around the house rather than around a route. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the number before any date is set.
Lead time depends on the season. Spring and fall are our busy windows, when the leaf loads are heaviest and our calendar fills, so the sooner you book, the better your chance at a date you want. We call before we come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. This window and gutter cleaning bundle is built for residential window jobs and residential properties, and we take on one house at a time, so every window is checked, every sill is wiped, and every run is cleared before the crew moves on. If you have a residential and commercial property, say so on the call and we will tell you what the crew can take. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text to ask for a written estimate.
Yes. Our window cleaning services come after the gutters: we clear the gutters and downspouts first and clean the outside of the windows after, so the runoff from the roof does not hit clean glass.
Our washing services are quoted from the number of stories and the size of the house, by phone or text, before any date is set. We do not give a range here because the house decides it.
Yes, it is worth it if the outside is carrying grime, rain dust, or sprinkler spots, which is what we see most often on Tyngsborough houses. A pole and purified water remove dirt from the outside glass without leaving streaks. Inside glass can look fine while the outside is hazed, so clean windows on the outside make the biggest difference.
Most of our customers book in the spring and fall. Across Massachusetts, the spring visit runs late May to June and the fall visit runs October to early November. Ask us for the exact timing for your house when you call (866) 435-6328.
No, the order is gutters first and glass second. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass is washed last, and clean windows stay clean through the next rain.
Yes, we clean screens, sills, and tracks as part of the exterior work, so they are not billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit, so windows inside the house stay as they are. Cleaning interior and exterior glass is a separate booking, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
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. If you live in one of the condos in a shared building, check with the building manager before the visit whether the exterior is ours to clean.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
