Stead Window And Gutter Cleaning

Seven reviews, every one of them five stars, and in most of them the owner's first name: Darren. Stead Window and Gutter Cleaning is a one-person Wakefield corporation — BBB lists a single employee — that cleans windows and gutters north of Boston, and its own site names Lynnfield, Melrose, North Reading, Peabody, Reading, Saugus, Stoneham, Wakefield and Winchester as the patch it covers. The work customers describe is small, repeat and unglamorous. In an October 2023 review one household said they get the cleanest windows they have seen twice a year and called Stead the most reliable trades they had had at the house since moving in. Another 2023 customer described a window cleaning that restored her handicapped mother's view from the living room she sits in, and spent as much of the review on how Darren treated her as on the glass. A 2021 reviewer got a next-day visit to survey and quote, then a booking a week later in the busy part of the season; another that year said they are kept on a standing schedule for gutter cleanings. A May 2023 customer noted the crew fixed more than they had to. Two things are worth knowing before calling. The written record runs 2021 to 2023 and stops there, so the picture of how the business works now rests on a three-year-old run of comments. And the tenure claims do not line up: the site says it has served the area since 2012 and separately claims over 25 years of experience, while the BBB profile has the corporation started and incorporated on 2 March 2019 and puts it at seven years. A person's career and a company's age are different things — worth simply asking which is which. If you want windows or gutters cleaned on a recurring schedule somewhere between Winchester and Peabody, this is a one-man operation with a consistent, if dated, run of praise behind it.
