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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Bergenfield jobs, most customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when fallen leaves and grime build up fastest. Use the estimator above to get a number from your stories and window count.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing gutters and windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Residential window jobs follow the same method, and the figure covers exterior glass only, since interior and exterior work are priced as separate jobs. This page covers houses, so residential and commercial properties are quoted when you call. Tell us the stories and the approximate window count, or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the figure before the crew is scheduled.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A high number of windows, or oversized panes, adds glass to clean. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more hand clearing. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Any cleaning solutions the glass needs for stubborn grime are included in the figure we give you.
Here is what we see most often. Our crew finds pollen on the glass and a paste of wet needles in the gutters every spring, and a heavier load of wet leaves every fall. Houses with a lot of glass, including picture windows, take longer than a standard two-story front. Homeowners who have had the job done before tend to get regular cleanings, which keeps each visit shorter, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal from the street. If you want the exact number, the fastest route is to tell us the stories, count the windows roughly, and send a photo of the front of the house.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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 Bergenfield jobs, most customers book both services twice a year, in late spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In late spring we are cleaning off the pollen film on south-facing glass and clearing the grit packed into the downspout elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that matters, and it has to come out before the first hard freeze, since the state's winters bring real snow and ice. Across New Jersey the spring visit window runs late May to June, and our fall visit runs November to early December, which is when the gutters and downspouts take the most work.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means clogged gutters, with needles and grit packing the downspouts between cleanings, and we see that most on houses under big trees. Left alone, clogged gutters can cause water damage along the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road picks up a film of grime faster than one on a quiet street, and multi-story buildings take longer on every pass because the upper glass is done from a pole. Each visit is there to remove dirt before it bakes onto the glass. Our crew can tell you on the first visit which of these your lot has.
Windows show the need for a cleaning in a few ways. Haze that only shows when the sun is low is the usual sign. Gutters that are overdue show it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspouts. If the haze keeps coming back, that is the point where professional window cleaning beats a rinse with the hose. Between visits, if you see either, text a photo and we will tell you what it is.
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 window and gutter cleaning jobs across Bergenfield as a whole, and we work the residential properties on the same schedule as the rest of the city. We quote every window we can reach from the ground or a pole, so the figure covers the whole house. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and tell us the number of stories. We will come back with an estimate and a date. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year, late spring and fall, are when our calendar fills. Booking early in those months gets you a slot you can plan around.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come. If a window is out of reach from the ground or a section of gutter cannot be cleared safely from the ladder, we tell you and photograph it rather than guessing. We do not promise same-day service; the lead time you are quoted on the phone is the one we keep.
Yes. Our washing services cover both, and the same two people do the gutters and glass in one visit. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not end up on clean windows.
We do not give a fixed figure on a page. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we quote it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text before anything is booked.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime: rain dust, sprinkler spots, and a film that builds up between visits. Those sit outside the pane, so cleaning windows inside will not remove dirt from the glass, and a professional window cleaning on the exterior is what does.
Most of our Bergenfield customers book in late spring and in the fall. Those are the two times the wet leaves are heaviest, so an early booking in either window is the easiest to schedule.
Not with our order of work. The roof is cleared, the gutters and downspouts are cleared, every downspout is flushed, and only then is the glass touched, so there is no runoff left to splash onto it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side as well, and we do not bill them as separate extras.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not do windows inside or pressure washing on this visit, so ask us about those separately if you need them.
No, you do not need to be home. If your unit is one of the condos in town, tell us which windows and gutters are yours before the visit. 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
