Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of every window in one visit. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof lands on 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. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, and we keep the same order of work on every house. Call (866) 435-6328 to get a number before anyone is scheduled.
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, and 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 for our window cleaning services. Stories and steep roofs change the work, and so does the window count and any oversized panes that need a longer reach.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are gutters that have not been opened in years, gutters packed with needles and leaves, guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. Our crew clears the outlet and checks the flow, so the grime that washes down with the water is gone before the glass is touched.
Getting the exact number is simple. Send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the visit will include. Repeat cleanings are priced the same way. We do not quote from a guess about the house. A residential window behind a porch roof or a run that needs a lift gets noted before the crew is on site, so the invoice matches what was agreed on the call. The window washing is priced by the glass we can reach from the ground and from the reach pole, and the gutters are priced by the run length and the number of downspouts that need clearing.
The customers who get the most from the bundle usually have a mix of both: picture windows and a long gutter run. Condos with shared walls get the same bundle, and so do residential and commercial buildings we can reach from one setup. Doing one without the other means a second setup, a second truck visit, and a second round of runoff on the wall below the gutter. We do not split it up for you, because the washing services and the gutter work share one ladder setup per side 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.
Across New Jersey, most of our customers book the window and gutter work twice a year, a spring visit in late May to June and a fall visit in late October to November. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense on each of those dates. The dates follow the seasonal dust and leaf load rather than a fixed calendar day.
In the spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass, and tree sap and seed fluff build in the gutters and downspout elbows. The glass looks hazy when the sun is low, and the gutters hold the film of the season. In the fall the leaf load comes down, and it packs the runs fast, especially after a wet week. Across New Jersey, nor'easters can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, and we call before we come.
Some houses need more than the two regular cleanings a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters are the usual result, so those houses fall into a three to four visit pattern. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots on every window it reaches, and those houses also get an extra visit. Residential properties near a busy road or a construction site pick up grit on the glass faster than a quiet street does.
Only the houses with the case records supplied for them get a customer example here, and we do not invent one. Where we have the records, the example shows the customer on a twice a year schedule with no trees, and a second customer on three or four visits because of the tree cover or sprinkler spotting. For the windows, the sign that clean windows need another visit is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. For the gutters, it is water sheeting over the edge in rain.
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 houses across Budd Lake, and the booking runs the same way on every one of them. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we send back a number for the visit. Lead time depends on the calendar, and the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, are when our calendar fills first. Book early in those windows if you want a set date.
When the booking comes in, we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. We take the professional window cleaning and the gutter work on the same ladder setup, and the two jobs finish on the same visit, so the window cleaning services you book show up in one truck. Our window cleaners work the outside of the glass, and the gutter run is cleared before the glass gets touched. We do not clean windows inside the house on this visit. Some customers ask about interior and exterior cleaning together; we do the exterior, and the interior glass is not part of the visit.
Clogged gutters that are left alone can cause water damage to the fascia and the wall below, and we flag the sign on the visit so you can decide what to do next. We check every window on the outside of the house before we leave. Multi-story buildings and tall homes need the reach pole or a lift, and we bring that equipment to the house when the job calls for it. Curb appeal depends on the glass and the gutter line being clean, and the one visit gets both done, which is the simplest way to remove dirt from the whole house.
Yes, our crew does window and gutter cleaning on the same visit. The same two people clear the gutters and wash the outside of the glass, gutters first and glass last, so the work stays in one setup per side of the house.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text. To schedule service, send the number of stories and a photo of the front, and we give you the number before the visit.
On a residential window the outside carries the pollen film in the spring, rain dust through the year, and sprinkler spotting where the line hits the glass. Those marks sit on the outside, so cleaning the inside does not remove them.
Across New Jersey, most customers book the spring visit in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. Those are the windows when the most leaves and dust come down on our jobs, so the calendar fills first then.
No, we clear the gutters and downspouts first and wash the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the leaves, grit and black water coming down the wall end up on the panes, and someone has to wash them again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass. Tracks are included on the exterior side when they can be reached from the ground or the reach pole.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Every window on the outside gets done, but we do not clean the inside of the windows or do pressure washing, so the crew works outside the house.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked, and the crew handles the rest.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
