Yes, 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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and the fall, and that rhythm is the one we keep to.
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 our window washing services and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window cleaning services follow the same method on every house. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, the crew sees what moves a quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work it from a boom or scissor lift, a window count that runs high or oversized panes, such as picture windows, that take more time, gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with grime, needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras.
Across New Jersey, the job that surprises people most is a gutter that looks clear from the ground but holds a mat of grit above the first elbow, which we only see from the ladder, and the runoff from that mat is what streaks the wall below. Sending a photo of the front of the house and a rough count of stories and windows gets you the exact figure faster than any estimate from the road. The same method works for condos. We do not hide the cost in fine print, and if the siding under a run needs more than a rinse to remove dirt, the crew tells you before it touches the wall. We do not add a line for the gutter run we already cleared. Ask for the number in writing before we book the date.
| 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.
Our calendar covers residential and commercial jobs alike, and across New Jersey most of our customers book window and gutter work twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for each season.
In the spring, the glass carries a pollen film on the south-facing panes, and the gutters hold a sticky paste in the elbows. The crew picks its cleaning solutions to match what is on the glass. In the fall, it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs. Across New Jersey, storm and wind seasons, including the nor'easters, can move the dates a few weeks in either direction.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packing between visits, and regular cleanings in that case catch the packing before it turns into an overflow. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the glass across the street. We look at these on the first visit and tell you what your lot needs.
You will know the window needs it when there is a haze you only notice with the sun low in the sky. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running out the downspout.
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.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We confirm an arrival window and call before we arrive, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crews have cleaned gutters and windows in Collingswood across the city, and we keep a standing list of the residential properties we already service so the next visit goes quickly. Lead time depends on the calendar at the moment you call, so ask us for the first open date rather than guessing from the season.
The two busy windows are the spring and fall pollen and leaf seasons, when our calendar fills with professional window cleaning and clogged gutters from every block. Book early in those windows. Outside them, slots come up sooner, and for multi-story buildings the crew plans a longer half day.
Gutters left clogged through a storm often turn into water damage on the fascia and sill before anyone notices, so we ask about the last time the runs were opened. Curb appeal starts with clean windows and clear gutters, and the bundle covers both in one trip.
Yes. The same two people do both on your house in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not washed twice.
The number comes from your stories and approximate window count. Send those by text or call (866) 435-6328 and we give you the figure before we book.
On our Collingswood jobs, the outside of each residential window carries the tree dust, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so yes, it is the part that changes most between visits.
Across New Jersey, most of our customers book in the spring and the fall, after the tree dust and the leaves come down. Ask for the first open date when you call.
No, because the gutters are cleared and flushed first and the wall is given time to stop dripping before the glass is touched, so every window on that side of the house is washed once and stays clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit on the exterior side.
Just the outside on this visit. We clean the exterior glass, leave the windows inside as they are, and do not do pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
