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 drips back onto clean panes. Pricing is set by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and the number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
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. Booked together, window washing and gutter work in one visit cost less than two separate jobs, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Our washing services are quoted the same way for residential and commercial jobs. Stories and window count set the base, but the details on the day shift it.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are a steep roof or a third story, the window count and any oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years, are packed with needles and leaves, or send runoff over the edge, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing the gutters and downspouts is part of the job, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are not billed as extras.
Across Massachusetts, the first question we ask is how to get an exact number. A count of stories, your window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text are enough for us to quote. On the count, every window on the outside of the house is included, and condos are quoted the same way, by stories and windows. If a gutter run is clogged enough to cause water damage at the fascia, we say so in the quote so you can decide the order of work. That is the honest answer on pricing: stories, window count, and what the crew finds on the day.
| 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 customers book two cleanings a year, one in spring and one in fall, which is why one crew in one visit fits the calendar. On the houses we clean, the pollen film on the south-facing glass and a seed and catkin mat in the gutters are what we see first in spring. In fall it is the leaf load.
What we find at each visit is consistent. Pollen settles on the glass and coats the window and gutter runs, and it sits there until it is washed off. Leaves mat in the downspouts after the first heavy drop. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, but the pattern holds.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the runs between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the rest. Those are the houses we book on the three to four visit schedule.
You know the window needs it when haze shows up only in low sun, and picture windows show it first. You know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Between visits we keep the cleaning solutions simple, the crew uses purified water to remove dirt from the glass, and regular cleanings keep the schedule steady.
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 houses across Wayland, and we book on the same estimate process used everywhere: a call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our window cleaners and the gutter crew work the same visit, so you get professional window cleaning and gutter work in one appointment. Booked together, the window cleaning services and the gutter work finish in one visit, which keeps your curb appeal up without a second trip. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. The lead time on your slot is set by the calendar, and we will tell you the date when you book.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when the spring tree drop and leaves arrive. In those weeks the calendar fills, so booking early keeps your slot. Outside those windows, slots open up more easily. The crew handles multi-story buildings from the pole and the ladder, and we tell you which one before the visit.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come, so you are not surprised by the truck. Our cleaning services cover the outside of the house and leave the interior alone. We know that clogged gutters and standing water are how water damage starts at the fascia, which is why we clear them first.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last. The same two people handle the roof blow-off, the gutter runs, the downspouts and the exterior windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Quotes for residential properties come from those two numbers, so give us the count by phone or text and we quote the job from there, and that quote is the price on the invoice.
Usually the outside is where the dirt is. Dust, rain film and sprinkler spots collect on the exterior glass, and the inside does not touch that layer. Cleaning the outside keeps the clean windows you see from the street as well as from inside.
Across Massachusetts, spring visits run late May to June, and in Wayland the fall visit runs October to early November, after the leaves come down. Those are the months our calendar fills.
No. We do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. On a residential window job they are not billed as extras.
We clean the exterior only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. We do not bundle interior and exterior work into one quote, and we do not do pressure washing here.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
