Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so nothing falls back onto 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. On our Westford jobs, most customers book in the spring and fall, when leaves and grit build up the most and curb appeal starts to slip.
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. Doing gutters and exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, so the windows inside are never part of this quote, and this visit covers the exterior only. What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized picture windows, gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted to reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Flushing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions are part of the price, along with the purified water and the ladders.
On our Westford jobs, the pollen film on south-facing glass in spring and the wet leaf mat in fall are what most often push a house into a longer visit, so we ask about both when you call. To get an exact number, text us the number of stories and a rough window count, along with a photo of the front of the house. We use the photo to see the roofline, the window layout and the gutter runs before we quote, which means the estimate matches the work. Regular cleanings on a set schedule get the same crew and the same photos each time.
If you are weighing residential window cleaning against a commercial contract, the same crew handles both. Our residential and commercial work follows the same order: gutters first, glass last, with photos of every run. Ask for a written estimate and we will break it down by stories, window count and gutter length.
| 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.
Most of our Westford customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass and clogged gutters pack up with wet debris, so spring is when the window haze is most visible. In fall the leaf load on the roof and the wet mat in the gutters are the main concern. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we book from what we see on the house rather than from the calendar alone. Our cleaning services follow the house, and the window cleaners on the crew set the date from the glass they see.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and we have seen those houses on a three to four month schedule. Gutters that overflow in rain send runoff down the wall, and that is how water damage starts. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, which is a mineral problem and needs a separate visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than one on a quiet street. Multi-story buildings with many upper windows take a longer visit, and we book them that way. A house with few or no trees and no sprinkler problem usually needs only the twice-yearly visit.
Two signs tell you the windows are due for professional window cleaning: a haze that only shows when the sun is low, and water sheeting over the gutter edge in rain. Either one is worth a call to get the schedule right. A dirty front of the house also hurts curb appeal, and it is often the first thing neighbors notice.
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 window cleaning services cover Westford, including the older neighborhoods where houses have many windows and deep gutter runs. The same crew cleans condos and other residential properties on the same terms. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your number of stories and an approximate window count, and we send back a written estimate. Typical lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the next open date when we call back. We schedule service around the house, so a large residential property with many windows gets a longer slot. Because the calendar fills in the spring window and the fall leaf window, booking early in those months helps.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not enter the house, and we send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the truck leaves. We clean every window on the outside, and the goal is clean windows that hold until the next visit. For a window and gutter cleaning schedule that fits the house, we will set the visits to match the trees and sprinklers we see on the first visit.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the clean glass is not hit by the grit from the runs.
The number depends on the stories, the window count and the state of the gutters, so we give it by phone or by text after you send the details. Window cleaning services in Westford are priced this way for every house. We do not quote a figure without seeing the house.
On Westford houses the outside carries the haze, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside glass is usually the dirtier side. Cleaning it restores the view without touching the inside. Rain alone will not remove dirt from outside glass, so the glass needs a proper wash.
Most of our customers here book two cleanings a year, in late spring and again in fall, after the haze and after the last leaves come down.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass. Runoff from the gutters is what marks the frame below, so the order matters.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the visit. Tracks are included on most houses, and we will note any that need more work before we start.
No, this visit is exterior glass only. The windows inside are not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. Our washing services for the outside cover the glass, frames and screens.
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 ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. Call (866) 435-6328 with any questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
