Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not hit with runoff afterward. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Our crew works across New Jersey through spring and fall, and the number we give you by phone is the number we charge.
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. Booking gutter cleaning and exterior window washing services together in one visit comes in below booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. The quote covers exterior glass only, because we do not clean interior glass on this visit, so the interior and exterior of a house are never bundled into one number. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the quote: a third story or a steep roof that must be walked carefully, a high count of oversized picture windows, gutters not cleaned in years and packed with leaves and needles, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Regular cleanings keep the price predictable, because a run cleaned each season has far less to pull out than one left for two years.
To get an exact number, send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will come back with a figure before anyone climbs a ladder. Ask for the written estimate and we will put the same figure in writing. A case from the Carteret area that moved its quote on stories and window count is available with its link on request; we do not publish client details here.
| 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 residential and commercial customers book window and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and one crew in one visit makes sense for both. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and clogged gutters full of pollen paste, and in fall the wet leaf load is what we clear before the first hard freeze.
Some houses need a third visit, and we say so on the first estimate. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), and a house near a busy road or a construction site all put more grime on the glass between seasons, and multi-story buildings with a lot of glass need more time on the pole. Storm and nor'easter seasons can move the dates on a given year, and a gutter that overflows in a storm is one of the quickest ways to get water damage at the fascia.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will schedule a visit on the next open date. Haze on the windows inside is a separate question, since a visit here covers the glass outside only.
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 professional window cleaning crew covers residential properties and small commercial buildings in Carteret, and our window cleaning services run on the same schedule for both. Booking is simple: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front by text, and we reply with a firm estimate for the cleaning services you need. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Lead time depends on the season. Spring and early fall fill quickly, so the sooner you ask, the better your chance at a date you want. We keep a written calendar and confirm each slot in writing, so you know the day before we arrive. Our window cleaners work from a water-fed pole for upper stories, so there is no ladder leaned on the siding for most of the glass. Most of the glass is done with water alone, and cleaning solutions go on only where film or grime will not lift with water.
We clean every window on the outside of the house, including the sill and the frame, so the whole face of the building looks right and the curb appeal is consistent from the street. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm a date.
Yes. Our crew does the gutters and downspouts and the exterior glass in one visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder and the pole. Gutters go first and the glass goes last.
The number for a residential window job comes from the stories, the window count and what is in the gutters. We give it by phone or text from those three things, and we do not quote a range on the page.
Usually yes on the outside alone, because pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass where the inside never sees them. Cleaning the outside is how you remove dirt from that glass.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, after the seed and pollen drop and after the leaves come down. Across New Jersey the same two windows hold for most houses and condos.
Not if the gutters go first. When we clear a run, the grit and water come down the wall, so we do the roof, the gutters and the downspouts before anyone touches the windows.
Screens, sills and the frame are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included on the sill side of the window.
No. On this visit we do exterior glass only and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. The crew brings its own water and power.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
