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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them separately. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book it for spring and fall, when the leaf load and grit 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.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Our gutter and window cleaning services are one bundle done in one visit, and the bundle 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: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized panes, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Massachusetts, the fastest way to get an exact number is to send a text with the number of stories, your rough window count and a photo of the front of the house. We come back with the figure before we book a date, so there is no surprise at the end of the visit. Cleaning solutions are only water on the glass, and the gutters are flushed to confirm the flow. We price the exterior only. Some companies quote interior and exterior glass as one job, but our number covers the outside. Condos and multi-story buildings are quoted the same way, by stories and window count, before a date is set. Most of our customers here ask for the bundle because it covers residential and commercial style houses alike in one trip, and the bundle also means one visit for picture windows and the gutters together. Our crew books regular cleanings on the same calendar so the next visit is already set. Call (866) 435-6328 to get the number on the phone.

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, for the curb appeal of clean glass and clear gutters, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. The spring visit runs late May to June across Massachusetts, and in Westborough the fall visit runs late October to November.
In spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass and the pollen paste sits in the gutters. In fall the leaf load comes down and packs the elbows. Westborough's wettest months are March, October and December, and the city averages 49.9 inches of precipitation a year, so a clogged run gets tested hardest then. With freeze risk in Westborough, a downspout packed with leaves can hold water that freezes and backs up toward the wall, and that is one way water damage starts. Across Massachusetts, storms and nor'easters move the dates, so we confirm each visit before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), and a house near a busy road or construction all tend to need one more cleaning. The sign that windows need it is haze you only see when the sun is low, or grime along the sills. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Text us a photo and we will tell you which visit your house needs.
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.
We book window and gutter cleaning across Westborough and call before we come. Send an estimate request by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm a slot. Nobody needs to be home for this professional window cleaning. In the two busy windows of the year, when leaves and grit peak, our calendar fills, so booking early keeps your date.
Our crew runs these residential window cleaning services and the residential properties on one route, so one schedule covers every window and the gutters. One visit leaves you with clean windows and clear gutters the same day. We clean the outside only, and the sill, frame and screen come with every window, while the windows inside stay as they are. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will get back to you with a date.
Yes, the same two-person crew does both in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last so the wash water does not run back onto clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before we book. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will return a figure.
On our Westborough jobs the outside collects rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. A proper cleaning is how you remove dirt that has baked onto the glass between visits, so the outside is the part that needs the work.
Across Massachusetts our customers book in spring and fall. Those are the two windows when the leaves and grit are heaviest.
No. We clear gutters and downspouts first and do the glass last, so the grit and runoff from a cleared run never reach clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and that is not billed as an extra. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
Our window washing services cover the exterior glass only. The windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, 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.
