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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Shirley jobs most customers book it for the spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves have had the most time to build up on the house.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a residential window job done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and cleaning solutions for the frames are included too. Call (866) 435-6328 for a number before anything is booked.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are multi-story buildings and steep roofs, the window count and any oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. We see the interior and exterior of a house as separate jobs; this visit covers the exterior only. The numbers here are for a house, and residential and commercial buildings are priced separately, so ask us before you book one.
On Shirley jobs the quote comes down to one thing you can give us by text: the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. A two-story home with a standard number of windows and clear gutters is the simplest case. Taller houses, a lot of glass and gutters and downspouts that have gone long without service take more time, and we tell you that before the crew is booked. Our regular cleanings are the cheapest way to keep the work from building up, because a run cleared every season is quicker than one left for years.

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 Shirley customers book professional window cleaning and gutter work both twice a year, once in late spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. On the glass in April we find pollen film on the south-facing panes and a sticky paste packed into the gutters, and by late fall the leaf load has settled into the runs. Storms and wind move the dates a little, so we schedule around the weather rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back the day after we clean them. Clogged gutters left through the wettest months, March, April and December, are how water damage gets started at the fascia. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass, and it takes more than a rinse to remove dirt that has baked on, so those owners tend to book again sooner than the rest.
The sign that windows need cleaning is the haze you only notice when the sun is low, and it hurts curb appeal more than most owners expect. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain, which is usually runoff with nowhere to go. We do not give do-it-yourself instructions for either one, because the roof and the ladder are where the risk is.
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 the gutters and the exterior of every residential window on the residential properties across Shirley, and we handle the window and gutter cleaning in the same visit. To schedule service, text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the window count and the first open date. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the date when you book rather than promising one we cannot keep.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop. If you want a slot in those months, book early. Outside them there is usually room, and a single house is easy to fit in. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way and what time to expect them.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and before we start we ask that you turn the sprinklers off and move cars off the driveway if the windows face it. Once we are done you get photos of every run and every window, so you can see the clean windows and the cleared gutters for yourself and confirm that we did every sill we set out to.
Yes. Window washing services and gutter cleaning come from the same crew, in one visit, so the same two people work both. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs down onto a window we have already cleaned.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before anything is booked. For condos we ask for the floor and the window count instead. The number we quote is the number on the invoice, with no extras added on the day.
Usually yes, because the outside takes most of the damage. Spring dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass in Shirley, and a pane that is clean inside still looks hazy from the street if the outside has not been cleaned to remove dirt.
Most of our Shirley customers book in late spring and again in the fall, once the leaves have dropped. Booking early in those months gets you a better slot.
Not with our order of work. We clear the gutters and downspouts, then let the wall drip before we touch the glass, so the grit never lands on panes we have already cleaned. That order is the reason the two jobs go together.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are wiped as well, and none of that is billed as an extra line on the invoice.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, so the windows inside the house are not part of it. We do not do pressure washing on this visit either, and we say so up front so there is no surprise on the day.
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.
