Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it 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, this is how most of our customers book it, in spring and fall.
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.
The price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing the gutters and the outside of the windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for a written estimate.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, window count and picture windows, which are oversized panes, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. Window washing with purified water is what leaves the glass dry, so professional window cleaning is built around it rather than tacked on. Our window cleaners bring their own purified water and power, so there is nothing to hook up on your side.
Across Massachusetts, the first thing we ask for is a photo of the front of the house, plus the number of stories. Gutters that are dirty enough to back water up onto the glass add time, and that time is in the estimate before the crew arrives. Most homeowners are surprised at how little the window count matters compared with the height of the roofline, which is why we ask about both. Clean glass and clear runs also do more for curb appeal than most people expect, so the glass and the gutters are priced as one job. Ask for the written estimate before you book, and we will put the number in writing.

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 gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. What we find at each visit depends on the season: the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters by late spring, the wet leaf mat that settles in the runs as the trees turn, and the winter storms that move the dates, since nor'easters can push a schedule back. Pollen film and sprinkler spots each need different cleaning solutions, so the crew checks the pane before picking one.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. Gutters that stay full through a rainy season can lead to water damage at the fascia and soffit. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round white spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than a quiet street does. On those houses, we suggest regular cleanings on a shorter cycle, and it helps to schedule service before the leaves drop, so the glass and the runs stay in step.
Two signs tell you it is time without a calendar. Clean windows still show a haze when the sun sits low, and that is the sign to call. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspouts. If either one happens between visits, call us and we will look at it.
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 residential and commercial window and gutter jobs, and we handle the full set of residential properties we have on the schedule. The estimate starts with a phone call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our lead time is set by the calendar, and in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, slots fill up first, so book early if you can. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
We clean the grime off the glass, the grit out of the gutters and downspouts, and the runoff that comes off the roof and splashes the wall below. For condos, multi-unit buildings and multi-story buildings, we set one schedule for all the units so every window and run is done on the same visit. Where a property has a lot of dirt, we remove dirt from the sill and frame before the glass, so the water is not carried back onto the clean pane. The washing services and window cleaning services are listed on the same sheet of paper, so you can see what is covered before the crew shows up.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We do the roof blow-off, clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, then the outside of the windows, so the water from the runs never lands on clean glass.
We do not quote a fixed figure for it. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text.
On our jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass can look dull even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside fixes that haze, and picture windows show it first because they are the largest panes on the front of the house. That is why the outside matters for curb appeal.
Across Massachusetts, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit runs from October to early November, when the pollen and the leaves pile up in the gutters and on the glass. To schedule service, call us and pick the window that fits.
No. Gutters first, glass last, because when the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall they cross any window below, and washing the glass first means washing it again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, not billed separately.
Our visit covers exterior glass only, so the windows inside the house are not part of it. We do not bundle interior and exterior glass into one visit, and we do not do pressure washing here either.
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.
