Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We go gutters first, glass last, so the dirty water never lands on clean panes. Pricing is set by the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Massachusetts, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when leaves and grime build up fastest.
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 residential properties by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutter cleaning and window washing services in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew finds a handful of things that change the price of window cleaning services. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Oversized panes, picture windows and high window counts add time on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more hands and more water to flow test. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one thing no cleaning removes, so we flag it on the visit and quote a separate mineral treatment only if you want it.
Across the Westwood jobs we have walked, the quotes that move most are the ones where the crew cannot see the back run from the ground. Send a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us the number of stories, and we will give you the exact figure before we book. Nothing is added after the crew arrives, and grime that builds up on the glass between cleanings is easier to remove than what sits for a season, which is one reason regular cleanings cost less over a year than waiting. Runoff from a clogged run is what damages siding and foundations, so the gutter side of the job is the one we do not skip to save time. The crew will remove dirt from the sills and frames as part of the same pass, and condos with shared roofs are priced the same way, by the building and its runs.

|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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 Westwood customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. The visit months for this area are late May to June and October to early November.
In the spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass, especially on picture windows, and pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. The fall visit is the wet leaf mat and the grit left by the last storms. Winter and early spring nor'easters move the dates a little, but the calendar rarely changes the work. The fall visit matters most before ice builds up in the runs, since we see sagging hangers on houses that skipped it.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Plain cleaning solutions will not lift those spots. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a film faster than the rest of the street. Our crew adds a visit for those.
When cases are supplied for Westwood we describe them here by neighborhood and what the crew found, with the link to the job. Residential and commercial accounts follow the same calendar. Where none is supplied, the calendar above is what we go by.
You can tell the windows need a cleaning when there is a haze you only notice with the sun low in the sky. You can tell the gutters need a cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down 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 has cleaned across Westwood, and we work with window cleaning services customers who want the gutters and the glass done in one pass. Booking starts with an estimate: call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house front. We need the number of stories and that photo to give you the number we will charge, and we call before we come. Before the quote, we count every window on the outside of the house.
Lead time changes with the season. The two busy windows are late spring and early fall, when leaves build up fastest and our calendar fills. Book early in those windows, and schedule service by phone or text. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
We are a set of window cleaners who also do the gutters, so the scope stays tight: outside glass, gutters and downspouts, with the flow test at the end. We do not clean windows inside. Professional window cleaning on the outside of the house protects the curb appeal you paid for, and a run that is kept clear protects against water damage at the eave and foundation. Clogged gutters are the usual cause of both, and they are the first thing the crew clears on every visit. We also do residential window cleaning and residential gutter cleaning for homeowners, and the same crew handles the multi-story buildings on commercial accounts under a per-building schedule.
Yes. Our crew does both, in one visit. We clear the gutters first and then do the glass, so the dirt from the runs does not land on clean windows.
We give the number by phone or text, based on the number of stories and the size of the house. There is no fixed figure we can give without those details. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house.
Usually yes, because the outside takes the film of rain dust and sprinkler spots. On our Westwood jobs the outside is where most of the grime sits, even when the inside looks fine.
Most of our customers book in late May or June and again in October or early November. Those are the windows when leaves and grime are heaviest. Call early to schedule service.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. The crew blows the roof clear, clears the runs, flushes each downspout, and only then touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped on every window as part of the job. Tracks are included in the same pass on exterior glass.
Exterior only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and we do not clean inside the windows or 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 windows face it, 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.
