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 two separate trips. On our Burlington jobs most customers book this service in the spring and again in the fall, so the crew knows the house before the first ladder goes up.
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 direct answer is that we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. A window and gutter visit done in one trip costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The price we quote is built from your house, not from a list.
On our jobs, the same few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes add time on the glass, and picture windows take the most care because one pane can run the width of a room. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles, seeds and leaves, take more hands to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is something no cleaning removes, and we say so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will ask the same questions. If the building mixes residential and commercial space, say so when you call, because access and stories change the quote. The number covers the exterior only, so a request for interior and exterior glass is a different job, and we say so before booking. A cleanings schedule can be set for a year out, and regular cleanings tend to keep the job quicker because less grit builds up between visits. Our crew uses cleaning solutions only where the glass calls for it, and the rest is purified water.

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 Burlington 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 for the calendar. Booking with a team of professional window cleaning people who already know the house keeps the timing simple, and our cleaning services follow the same calendar each year.
What we find at each visit follows the seasons. In the spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters, which is when the downspouts clog first. In the fall the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs until the first freeze. Wind and storm seasons move the dates a little from year to year, and the crew adjusts the visit to fit.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit coming into the gutters between visits, so clogged gutters and runoff backing up toward the fascia show up sooner. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass, and multi-story buildings take longer on the upper panes.
You will know windows need a cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and it is usually on the outside rather than on the windows inside. You will know gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Ignoring either for long turns into water damage at the eave and on the sill. Clean glass and clear gutters are a large part of curb appeal, and they are the first thing a neighbor sees.
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 properties across the city, and we schedule service around the busy weeks in the spring and fall when the calendar fills. The estimate starts with a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew photographs every gutter run and every clean window before it leaves.
When you book, call (866) 435-6328 or tell us which windows you want done, including any sill or screen you want rinsed, and we will confirm the slot. A residential window high on a wall takes the same care as one at ground level. A single visit covers the whole house and our two-person crew works from one ladder setup per side, so the window and gutter cleaning is done in one trip. We clean the outside of every window, and we do not promise a slot faster than the calendar allows.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so nothing from the gutters lands on the clean windows below.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Our washing services are priced by the job, and the price we quote is the price on the invoice.
On the houses we clean in Burlington, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dull even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside is what changes how the house looks from the street, because that is where the rinse is needed to remove dirt.
Most of our Burlington customers book in the late spring and again in late fall, after the pollen drop and before the first hard freeze. Booking early keeps you ahead of the busy weeks.
Not with our order of work. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass, so the water has nowhere to land on clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Our window cleaning services include tracks where they can be reached from outside.
No, this visit is exterior only, so we do not clean windows inside the house. We clean the outside of the glass and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If your home is one of several condos sharing a gutter, tell us when you book so we can confirm who the work is for.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
