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 the two jobs separately. Our crew works in spring and fall on our Somerset jobs, when most of our customers book, so the order and the timing are already worked out before the truck pulls 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 number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. We price by stories and by the approximate window count, and the bundle of gutters and exterior glass in one visit comes in under two separate trips. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras, and clean gutters and glass protect the curb appeal of the house.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A high number of oversized panes adds glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years, packed with needles, seeds and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it and quote the treatment separately.
Our experience here is that most of the cost comes from the number of stories and the number of windows, not the lot. For a residential and commercial building the first step is the same, a count of stories and windows before any price. The fastest way to get an exact number is a text with a photo of the front of the house and a count of the stories. Include a rough window count and tell us whether the gutters have been cleaned recently. We will confirm the price before we schedule anything.
Picture windows and high-set glass need more time on a boom or scissor lift, so we account for them when we quote. If you have cleaning solutions or washing services you already use on other parts of the house, tell us and we will work around them. Our crew does not take a shortcut on the cleanings, and the same standard applies whether it is a first visit or a regular cleanings schedule.

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 customers in Somerset book both jobs twice a year, one visit in the spring and one in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in a single visit makes sense. On our jobs the spring visit follows the pollen film that settles on south-facing glass and the paste that builds in the gutters in late spring. The fall visit clears the leaf load after the trees drop. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates a little, so we confirm the schedule with you by phone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means the downspouts pack up 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 collects grime faster than a quiet street. On those houses we suggest a third visit, and we explain why when we give you the estimate.
Professional window cleaning and gutter work are most useful when they run on the same schedule, because clogged gutters let runoff spill over the sill and down the frame, which leaves streaks and water damage. Professional cleaners see this often on multi-story buildings and on houses with a lot of glass. A clean gutter keeps the water off the window below, and clean windows show the difference right away.
Watch for two signs. Haze on the glass that only shows when the sun is low means the windows are due. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain means the run is blocked, and it is time to call.
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 has cleaned window and gutter cleaning jobs across the city, and we book them the same way on every street. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We will give you a written estimate by return text, and once you accept it we set a date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we arrive. Most homes on our schedule are booked within the lead time we show on the booking page, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills first. Book early in those months and you will get the date you want. If you own a condo, call with the stories and window count and we will tell you whether the visit fits.
We clean residential properties and the outside of clean windows on the same visit, which keeps the number down and the schedule simple. We do residential window and gutter cleaning for single family homes, townhouses and duplexes, and our window cleaning services cover every window on the house, from the ground floor to the upper story, including the sill and the frame. Schedule service by calling us or texting a photo, and we will confirm.
Yes. Our crew does both the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. The same two people are on the ladder, so there is no second setup and no second trip.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and you will get a written number before we schedule.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the grime. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots land on the glass from outside, and many homeowners keep interior and exterior glass on separate schedules. Exterior cleaning is how we remove dirt and the film that causes the haze you see when the sun is low.
Most of our customers here book in late May or June for spring, and in October or early November for fall. The dates follow the pollen film and the leaf drop, so book early in those months if you want a specific date.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, then wait a few minutes for the wall to stop dripping before we touch the glass. The order is the reason the glass stays clean.
Screens are taken down, rinsed and put back. Sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the exterior side, and we do not bill those as extras.
No. On this visit we clean exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do interior and exterior glass in one visit, and we do not do pressure washing either, so the scope stays clear from the start.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
