Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your 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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book this spring and fall, and the number we quote on the call is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 today.
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.
The price comes from your stories and your approximate window count, whether you book window washing alone or with the gutters. Booking the gutters and the windows together in one visit is cheaper than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Splitting the job between one of the window cleaners in Waltham and a separate gutter company means two setups and two trips. Tell us the stories and a rough count of the windows, and we will confirm the figure before we schedule anything.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and the boom or scissor lift, and multi-story buildings carry the same extra setup on every run. Oversized panes and large picture windows take longer per pane. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more work before the flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, since no cleaning removes it, and we tell you about it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Massachusetts, the pattern is the same: the houses that cost more are the taller ones with the most glass and the most debris. Professional window cleaning is quoted on the same two inputs, stories first and then the approximate window count. For a Waltham job, the most useful thing you can do is send a photo of the front of the house by text along with your stories and window count. The front carries most of the curb appeal, so we look at it first. The same photo shows us the roofline and the run of the gutters before anyone climbs up, so the estimate you get is the one you will pay. Clogged gutters that have sat for a long time can also show signs of water damage at the fascia, and we note that in the report rather than guessing at it. The windows inside are not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing as part of it either.
| 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.
Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, so one crew can handle the gutters and the glass in a single visit. Here is what we see at each one. In the spring the pollen film builds on the south-facing glass and the pollen paste settles in the gutters. In the fall the leaf load is what fills the runs, and the storm and wind seasons can shift the dates a little either way.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the outside of the windows than one in a quiet street. On those houses, our crew is out three or four times a year to keep up with the residential window and the residential properties around them. Regular cleanings between the spring and fall visits keep debris from building up in the runs.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low, and you will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain. If you want to keep up with the glass between visits, a schedule service keeps the timing consistent so the work is never far behind. Clean windows also let you see the condition of the sill, which we check on every window during the visit.
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 has cleaned gutters and windows in several parts of Waltham. Booking works the same way across the city: call (866) 435-6328 or text us, give the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm the number before a crew is scheduled. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills first. If you can, book early in those months. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
We offer washing services and window cleaning services for residential and commercial properties, including the small multi-unit buildings and condos we also see. The work covers gutters and downspouts, the runoff that collects at the base of the wall, and the grime on the glass. Our goal on every visit is to remove dirt from the frames and sills as well as the panes, so the job looks finished from the street and from inside the house.
Yes, it is the same crew. We clean the gutters first and then the glass, so the work is done once and the glass is not dirtied again.
We do not give a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text.
On our jobs in Waltham, the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the outside needs the work even when the inside looks fine.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, and those are the months we fill first. Across Massachusetts it is the same pattern.
No. We clean gutters first and glass last, because runoff from a gutter run down the wall would spoil glass that was already clean.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are part of the job. They are not billed as extras. The glass gets water only, with no cleaning solutions added.
We clean the exterior only on this visit, and the interior and exterior of the glass are not both included in it. We do not do pressure washing as part of it either.
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.
