The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs down onto the clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew has been on Blackwells Mills homes for years, and most of our local customers book it for the spring and fall visits, when the grime and tree dust 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.
Our washing services cover the gutters and the window washing, and the window cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count. The bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will send a written estimate before a date is set.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift, and the tallest houses take the longest to set up. Window count and oversized picture windows take longer per pane. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles, leaves and grime, add time, so the gutters and downspouts get cleared in full before the glass is started. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are priced by the foot. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that no cleaning removes, and we tell you about it before we quote the glass. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Blackwells Mills jobs the quotes that run highest tend to be the houses where the glass has not had a professional window cleaning in a long time. Those owners often want the interior and exterior done together, and we do the exterior only on this visit, so we say that before we arrive. For regular cleanings, we keep the stories and window count on file, so repeat cleanings are quoted the same way unless the house has changed. For a clean number, give us the stories, a rough window count and any picture windows, and we will give you the figure we will stand behind.
| 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.
Across New Jersey most homeowners book the window and gutter work twice a year, in spring and again in fall. The spring visit lands in late May or June, after the tree seed drop, and the fall visit in late October or November, after the leaves come down and before the first hard freeze.
At the spring visit we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat and grit that settles on the sills. Storm and wind seasons, and the nor'easters that move across New Jersey, can shift the dates, so we check the roofline before we book. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a lot near a busy road tend to need a third visit, and multi-story buildings often do too, because the spots that come back a day later and the debris in clogged gutters build faster than twice a year allows.
Gutters that are not cleared before winter can freeze and hold water against the fascia, which is how water damage starts in the first place. Work on the windows inside the house is not part of this visit; the crew works from the outside only. The cleaning solutions we use on the glass are mild, and we rinse them off with purified water so the frames do not streak. We book residential and commercial properties on the same calendar, but this page is about homes: if your house is on a regular schedule we keep it on the same visit each season. Watch for two signs. Haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low means the windows need a visit. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter during rain means the gutters do.
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 cleaning services reach Blackwells Mills and the neighborhoods around it, and we keep the schedule short so the work stays on the calendar you agreed to. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we return a written estimate. Lead time depends on the month, and we confirm the first open date when you call. The two busy windows are the spring and fall visits, because most customers want the same weeks, so book early if you can.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our professional window cleaning crew handles every window on the outside of the house, from the first-floor sill to the top-floor pane, and the window cleaners bring a boom or scissor lift when a story is out of reach. Our crew works with the homeowner or the property manager to schedule service, so the job fits around the household. Good curb appeal starts with clean glass and clear gutters, and both get done in one visit.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the gutters runs down onto clean panes.
We give a number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. Condos and other residential properties are quoted the same way, once we have seen the stories and window count. We do not quote a range without seeing the house, and the number we give is the number on the invoice.
Usually yes, because an exterior cleaning helps remove dirt that collects on the outside: rain dust, sprinkler spots and street grime. On a typical residential window in Blackwells Mills the outside carries most of the dirt, so the glass looks cleaner from inside after an exterior cleaning alone.
Across New Jersey the spring visit falls in late May or June, and the fall visit in late October or November. The gutters and the glass are booked for the same visit, so one date covers both.
Not with our order of work. The gutters are cleared, the downspouts flushed and the wall given a few minutes to drip before anyone touches the glass, so gutter runoff has no way onto the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the exterior side; hard-water staining is a separate treatment that we quote after we see it.
Not on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers 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.
