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 in one visit cost less than booking them separately. On our jobs in Franklin Farm most customers book it each spring and fall, when pollen and leaves 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.
The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We quote from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Send a photo of the front of the house by text and we will tell you what to expect before you book.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. A large window count or oversized picture windows add time on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with pollen paste and leaves, need more passes to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be flushed. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a standard cleaning, and we flag it before any work starts.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our window cleaning services include the cleaning solutions and purified water, so the glass dries without streaks. Our washing services are quoted by stories and window count, and that number is the one on the invoice. This quote covers the exterior only, since interior and exterior glass are different jobs.
We do this for residential and commercial buildings, and the scope is set by the building and the access. Our crew is also set up for regular cleanings on a fixed schedule, so the next visit is booked before the last one ends. On the house that has never been cleaned, the first visit is usually the longest.
Houses in Franklin Farm vary a lot from one street to the next. One customer with a two-story house and a large run of picture windows had the bundle done after a heavy spring. Stories, window count, the tree cover over the back roof and what we found in the gutters set the number, which we stated on the phone and kept on the invoice. For your number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate.

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 Franklin Farm customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Plenty of window cleaners only do the glass, so the gutters get left for another day. Each spring we find pollen film and grime on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In fall the leaf load builds up in the gutters and downspouts, and the runoff from a clogged run runs down the wall. The schedule moves with storm and wind seasons, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Multi-story buildings and condos add setup time on the ladder, and heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust that settles on the frames faster than most. These are the homes where clogged gutters and water damage show up first, so the regular cleanings are what keep them clear.
The sign windows need it is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon, and it dulls the view from the windows inside as well. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a hard rain instead of running down the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters are most of a house's curb appeal from the street, and professional window cleaning is the quickest way to get both back. If you see either, the cleaning is due.
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.
We have cleaned gutters and windows across Franklin Farm, from older homes with large trees over the roof to newer houses with wide picture windows. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and tell us the number of stories, and we give you a written estimate. A window and gutter cleaning slot opens up within the lead time shown on our calendar, and in the two busy windows of the year the calendar fills first.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every run when we are done. We clean the outside of the glass and the residential properties we service with the same care, and the goal is clean windows you can see through without a sprinkler spot in the middle. Water from the pole is enough to remove dirt from most frames without any scrubbing. A residential window gets the same pass as the picture windows, and every window on the house is included in the estimate, with the sill wiped as part of the visit.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters and the glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the water from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before you book. The gutters and the glass are quoted in the same call, so you get one number.
Yes, because the outside collects the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, and that buildup is what dulls the glass here.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves build up. Houses on shared roofs follow the same schedule as the houses around them.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. The gutters are flushed and the wall is given time to drip before anyone touches the windows.
The crew uses a water-fed pole and purified water on the glass. Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, so none of it is a separate line on the invoice.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only. Pressure washing is a separate job, and interior windows are not part of this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
