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 that comes off the roof lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Most of our Walpole customers book it for the spring and fall cleanings, when the glass and the gutters both need it most.
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, both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Window washing and gutter work share one visit, and the window cleaners are the same crew that clears the gutters, so one quote covers both. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large number of windows, oversized panes or picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. The crew adds time for multi-story buildings, since they take longer to reach from the ground. The quote does not cover windows inside the house, and interior and exterior glass are priced as separate jobs. Clean glass with clear gutters does a lot for curb appeal.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The same stories-and-windows method applies to residential and commercial buildings. In Walpole we have seen clogged gutters that had been left a full season turn into a water damage problem on the fascia, which is why we ask about the gutters before we quote the glass. We do not need a list of your windows to start, just the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Then the professional window cleaning and gutter work can be scheduled in the order that makes sense for the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of your roofline for a written estimate.

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 the customers we see in Walpole, most book both services twice a year, in the late spring month and the fall month, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Massachusetts, spring visits usually run late May to June, and in Walpole the fall visit falls in October to early November. Our cleaning services are booked around that calendar, and most of our regular cleanings fall in those two windows, so each residential window and gutter run gets done in one visit. At each visit the glass tells us the season: a pollen film on south-facing panes in the spring, rain dust on the frames, and the spots that come back a day after cleaning when a sprinkler line hits the glass. We look at every window on the outside of the house, not only the ones facing the street. Pollen returns fast on clean windows in spring, which is why the timing matters. The gutters show the same thing in a different way, with pollen paste packed in the elbows in spring and a wet leaf mat in the fall.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road or active construction builds up faster than the twice-a-year schedule allows. You will see haze on the windows only when the sun is low, and you will see water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in the rain when the gutters need the crew sooner. We do the cleaning ourselves, so there is nothing for you to set up between visits. To schedule service, text a photo of the front of the house and we confirm 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.
Our crew works across Walpole and books slots through the same phone or text line. Our window cleaning services and gutter washing services are booked together, so one visit covers both. To get an estimate, send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count and gutter condition before setting a date. We confirm the first open slot when you call. The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen drops and when the leaves come down, so booking early in those months helps. The crew rinses the glass with purified water and skips cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to streak.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works from the outside of the house. The same crew handles residential properties, the smaller condos in town and residential and commercial buildings alike, and the job is quoted per house, not per visit, so the grime on the glass and the runoff from the roof get dealt with in one pass. We remove dirt from the gutters and downspouts before we touch the windows, so nothing washes back across the panes.
Yes, our crew does both in the same visit, and the gutters are always done first so the glass is not dirtied again afterward.
We do not give a figure here, because the number comes from the stories and the size of the house, the same way it does for residential and commercial buildings. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we send a written estimate.
Usually yes on our Walpole jobs, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and in the fall, after the seeds and the leaves have dropped. Those are the two windows when our calendar fills. Our regular cleanings follow the same calendar, and a house with heavy tree cover may need one more visit.
No. Gutters first, glass last. The roof gets cleared, the downspouts get flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then does anyone touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, using purified water and no harsh cleaning solutions. Tracks are included on the exterior side.
We clean the outside of the windows only on this visit. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and large picture windows get the same outside treatment as the rest.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
