The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Beachwood customers book it in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaf load are heaviest.
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 window and gutter visit done together costs less than booking two separate cleanings. A residential window job on a Beachwood house is quoted the same way, and we quote residential and commercial jobs by stories and window count too. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-ons appearing on the invoice later.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are stories and roof pitch, the window count and any oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts left alone for years can also carry water damage at the fascia, which we note before quoting. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are priced as separate jobs, so the number here covers the outside only. The glass gets purified water, not cleaning solutions, which is why it dries clear. Houses on regular cleanings get the same quote method each visit, since the story count and window count do not change.
Here is how a recent Beachwood job showed how the number is built. The house had its gutters packed with pollen paste from the spring and two windows with hard-water spotting from a sprinkler head. What we found on the roof decided the second visit before any quote was final. To get your exact number, tell us the number of stories and count the windows on the front of the house, then text us a photo of that front. We use the photo to check the count and the access before we give a figure.
For a window and gutter cleaning on a house with picture windows, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline 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.
On our Beachwood jobs, most customers book two cleaning services a year. Across New Jersey the spring visit lands in late May to June, and the fall visit in Beachwood falls in late October to November, after the leaves come down. That is why our window cleaners do both in one visit, which makes sense for most houses here.
In the spring, the south-facing glass carries a fine film of pollen and tree blossom, and the gutter elbows fill with seed pods. In the fall, the leaf load arrives and the wet mat leaves clogged gutters at the downspout outlets. Nor'easters across New Jersey can shift the dates, so we book from what we see on the roof. The windows inside are not part of these visits, so the glass work is outside only.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings often sit higher on the list because the upper runs are harder to reach. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. 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 faster than the rest. Between visits, regular cleanings keep the build-up down, and we call before we come and tell you which of those your house has.
The sign that the windows need professional window cleaning sooner is a haze, or a grime line along the sill, that you only see when the sun is low, and haze costs a house its curb appeal faster than most owners expect. The sign the gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in rain, because clogged gutters that overflow lead to water damage at the fascia.
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 handles window and gutter cleaning on residential properties across Beachwood and the surrounding area, and the estimate starts with a phone call or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we will give you a number before the crew comes out.
Lead times depend on the season. The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when tree debris and leaves come down and our calendar fills. Booking early in those windows gets you a slot for residential window cleaning and gutter work, and we call before we come so you know when to expect the truck.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work on residential and commercial jobs alike. The crew stays outside, wipes each sill, and before we leave we send photos of the clean windows and of every window and gutter run.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last so the gutter runoff never lands on clean windows. You get one crew, one booking and one invoice.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Our cleaning services are quoted from a photo of the house front, so send us the story count and that photo and we will give you a figure before anyone comes out.
On the houses we clean in Beachwood, the outside carries the tree film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and that grime is what makes the glass look hazy. Our window cleaning services focus on that outside glass, and clean glass is most of the curb appeal a house has from the street. Cleaning the inside does nothing about those spots, so the outside is what most owners notice first.
Most of our Beachwood customers book in late spring, after the trees finish dropping their bloom, and again in late fall after the leaves are down. If you live in one of the condos on a shared roof, tell us that when you call so the estimate covers the whole roofline.
No. We do gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so the leaves, grit and black runoff from a cleared run have already drained before anyone touches the windows. Doing it the other way round means you pay to remove dirt from the glass twice.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of our washing services. They are not billed as extras, and the number on the phone already includes them.
Exterior glass only on this visit. We handle the interior and exterior as separate jobs, so the windows inside stay out of this quote. Pressure washing is not part of the quote either.
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 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.
