Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so nothing falls back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, after the seed drop and again before the leaves come down.
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 window cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and the window count and we will say it before anyone climbs a ladder.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are multi-story buildings, a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. The cleaning solutions for the glass are part of the job, and so are downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping, none of which is billed as an extra. A request for interior and exterior glass is quoted as its own visit. Regular cleanings keep the quote lower over time, because the crew is not digging out years of grime.
To get the exact figure, text us a photo of the front of the house and the stories. Across New Jersey, the houses and condos that come in with the most surprises are the ones where nobody has done the glass or the gutters in a while, so ask us to look at both. Our crew can tell you which run needs the most time before we start, and what is included in the window washing services and what is not.
| 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.
Most of our Cliffside Park customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across New Jersey the pattern holds for residential and commercial buildings, and for any window and gutter visit the split is simple: spring clears the pollen, fall clears the leaves. In the spring visit we find a film on the south-facing glass and a paste in the gutters, and by the fall visit the leaf load is what fills the runs.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road are the cases that need a third visit as we see them. The spots from sprinklers come back a day after cleaning, so those houses are on the schedule more often. The windows inside stay out of these visits, so the calendar is set by the outside glass and the runs. Our crew checks for clogged gutters on every visit, works to remove dirt from the runs, and notes any water damage starting at the fascia.
The sign windows need it is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Call (866) 435-6328 to book the spring or fall slot, or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which schedule fits the house.
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 crews have cleaned gutters and windows across Cliffside Park, and we are professional window cleaning people, so our cleaning services run the same way whichever block you are on. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We give the number before we book the date, and the date follows the calendar.
The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when the spring growth and the leaves come down at once. In those weeks our calendar fills, so the sooner you ask for a slot the better. Outside those windows lead time is shorter; the lead time for your street is given on the booking call. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we do not come inside.
Window cleaners who do this for a living tend to schedule in batches by street, and that is how we run our calendar too, since clean glass and clear gutters do most of the work for curb appeal. Ask for the slot that keeps your sill and every window on the same visit, so the crew does not have to come back for the last pane. Schedule service with us by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a photo of the house front.
Yes. The same two-person crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the wash water off the clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, quoted by phone or text before we book. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Usually yes for the outside alone, because pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build on the exterior glass of a residential window in Cliffside Park and do not show from inside. The inside is a separate job we do not take on this visit.
Our customers here most often book in late spring and late fall, the two windows when the spring growth and leaves come down. Across New Jersey, residential properties follow the same spring and fall pattern.
Not on our jobs, because we clear the gutters and downspouts, then let the wall stop dripping, so no runoff reaches the glass before it is touched. Gutters first, glass last is the reason.
Screens are hand-rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, with tracks included in the same visit. None of that is billed separately.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. Ask us about those separately.
No, you do not need to be home. 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.
