The same two people who clean your gutters clean 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 the job 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, our customers book this spring and fall, when seed, leaves and road film hit hardest, and we keep that same routine here in Wellesley.
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 our window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two washing services separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we work it out from those two facts. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count.
Our window cleaning services are quoted to the house, and what changes the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, a window count that includes oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Standing water in a clogged run spills runoff down the wall and across the glass below it, so that run gets cleared first. Purified water is how we remove dirt from the glass without leaving streaks. Each of those adds time, and we say so before we start.
Across Massachusetts the details we need to quote a house are the same: how many stories, roughly how many windows, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Our crew then cleans the gutters and their downspouts, and rinses the outside glass with purified water, so the windows dry without streaks. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you the number.

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 the window and gutter visit twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and we keep one crew on both visits. The spring visit clears the seed and pollen film that builds on south-facing glass and the sap and needles that sit in the gutters. The fall visit clears the leaf load and the wet mat that sags a run under the first freeze. Across Massachusetts, storms and nor'easters move those dates by a few weeks in either direction.
Some houses need a third visit. We see it most often under heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. The same schedule suits a residential and commercial building, because the glass takes the same dust. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the spots that come back a day after cleaning. Mineral spots need a mineral treatment rather than cleaning solutions, and the crew says so on the visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the glass than a quiet street does. We flag those on the first visit and tell you what schedule we would suggest for your lot, based on what we found.
Regular cleanings keep the picture windows clear, since a large pane shows a film before a small one does. The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning sooner is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into 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 crew cleans gutters and exterior windows on residential properties across Wellesley, and we work on multi-story buildings as well as single-family homes. Our professional window cleaning goes with the gutter work in one visit. To schedule service, give us the number of stories by phone or text and send a photo of the house front. Once the number is set we give you a date, and the lead time depends on the calendar at that point in the season. The two busy windows are the spring and fall stretches when the leaves are heaviest, and our calendar fills quickly in those weeks, so call (866) 435-6328 early if you want a particular day.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we call again when the truck is on the way, so you know when to expect the crew. Our window cleaners work from the outside only, and our cleaning services follow the same method every visit, so the results match from one cleaning to the next.
We also handle the clogged gutters that show up after a dry summer, and the water damage that starts when a run overflows the fascia, so if you see either one, tell us when you book and the crew will look at it first. Clear glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal from the street.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of each residential window in one visit, and they do the gutters first. We do it that way so nothing from the gutters lands on the glass after it has been cleaned.
We price by stories and approximate window count, so we give the number by phone or text once we know those. The number we quote is the number we charge. Downspout flushing and sill wiping are included.
Yes, because the outside collects the rain dust, sprinkler spotting and road film that the windows inside never see. On a Wellesley house the grime hits the outside glass first, so the outside is where a visit makes the difference.
Across Massachusetts most of our customers book in spring and in fall, once the pollen has finished and again after the leaves drop. Book a little ahead of those windows if you want a set day, and ask for clean windows and gutters on the same visit.
No. We clean the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. That order is the reason for the visit, so the windows stay clean after the gutters are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the exterior side of every window. We do not bill them as extras.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not offer an interior and exterior package, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
