The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work for homeowners across New Jersey, and spring and fall are when most of our calls come in.
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 our window washing quote covers the gutters on the same house. Booking gutters and windows together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof steep enough that we have to work from a boom or scissor lift changes the price. So does a large window count with oversized panes, and gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment, since a plain wash will not remove dirt that has baked onto the glass. Our washing services are quoted per house, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are included and not billed as extras.
On our Colts Neck jobs, the quotes that surprise people most are the ones where the gutters have gone a long time without cleaning. Once the crew opens the runs, the weight of packed debris and the amount of runoff it has been holding back tell us how much time the downspouts will need. The window side is usually simpler, though window cleaning services for a house with picture windows and multi-story glass take more setup. Before we give you a number, we ask for the stories and a window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text helps us confirm both. That keeps the quote tied to what we will actually find, instead of a guess from the street. Condos with shared gutter runs take more planning, so tell us when you book and the crew can plan access.

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 Colts Neck customers book a window and gutter visit twice a year, once in late spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for that schedule. Across New Jersey the pattern is the same on residential and commercial glass: spring and fall are the two windows when debris and grime build up fastest.
In the spring visit we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters and elbows. In the fall visit it is the wet leaf mat that has collected over the season, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sagged under the weight of it by the following winter. Storms and wind seasons can move the exact dates from year to year, so we book by the state of the house, not the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. On a house near a busy road or a construction site, the picture windows show a fine layer within weeks, and the crew picks its cleaning solutions for that layer on the day. For those, our customers are on regular cleanings, three or four times a year, while a house with few or no trees usually does fine with the twice-a-year schedule.
Windows tell you when they need it. The sign is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, on the glass facing west or south. Gutters tell you too: when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout, the runs are full. Customers who ask about interior and exterior glass on one schedule should know our visit covers the outside only. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at it on the next visit.
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 run across Colts Neck, and the houses we clean here are a mix of older and newer construction, which is why our window cleaners check the roofline before they set a ladder. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate from there. Booking runs through professional window cleaning scheduling, so the slot and the crew are confirmed before the date is set. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal on a house that faces the street.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so expect the lead time to be longer then. Book early for those months and you will get the slot you want. Multi-story buildings need more setup time, and we price that in before the visit. Outside of them, the usual lead time is listed on our booking page.
When we arrive, we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We do not ask you to be there, and we do not come inside, so windows inside the house are left alone. The cleaning is on the outside of the house, which is where the damage from clogged gutters and water damage collects, so the work goes where it is needed.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows, and that applies to every residential window on the house.
Our quotes for residential properties come from the stories and the size of the house. Text or call us with those details, or send a photo of the front, and we will give you the number before the visit.
Usually yes, because the outside of every window carries tree dust, rain grit and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Clean inside glass does not hide a dirty outside pane.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in fall. Those are the months the leaves and grit build up fastest, so schedule service early if you want that slot.
Not when we do the job, because the gutters are cleared and flushed before anyone touches the windows. The order is what keeps the glass clean.
Screens are rinsed and each sill is wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit unless they are packed with debris, which we will tell you about before we start.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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.
