Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work for homes in East Brunswick and across New Jersey, from the first spring visit through the fall cleanup.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Booking gutters and exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, because the crew sets up once and works the house in a single pass. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work out the figure from there.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are the same ones we see on the ladder. Multi-story buildings and a third story on a house add setup time, and so does a roof too steep to walk. Window count and oversized panes change how long the glass takes. Clogged gutters, the ones not opened in years or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate matter, because cleaning does not remove it. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our crew does not quote a house from the street alone. Send the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front, and we can tell you what the job involves before anyone climbs a ladder. A house with a lot of glass on the back, or a walk-out basement that puts the rear gutter run high off the ground, will need a little more time for the same reason it would elsewhere. Ask for a written estimate if you want the figure in writing before you book a date.
On a recent East Brunswick job, the quote came up because the house had a lot of tree cover over the roof and the downspouts were packed with grit, which is why the crew flushed every one before the glass was touched. Those details, more than the size of the house, were what set the time. Every job starts with the stories and the window count, and that is what we need from you to give an exact figure.
Regular cleanings of gutters and exterior glass run on the same calendar, so it helps to decide the schedule before the first visit. Our window washing and washing services are priced as one job, and the window cleaning services we provide on a regular plan are quoted from the same stories-and-windows count. Some crews quote the interior and exterior glass as one number. Ours covers the exterior only, so the number on the phone is for the outside of the house. If you want a regular schedule, ask for the plan price when you call. If you want a one-time job first, that works too, and the number stays the same.

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 East Brunswick customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on that schedule. Across New Jersey, the pattern is much the same for residential and commercial buildings: the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, after the seed drop, and the fall visit in late October to November, after the leaves are down and before the first hard freeze.
In spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass and the paste that builds in the gutters are the first things we see. In fall, it is the wet leaf mat that has built up in the troughs and the grit that washed down the glass over the wet months. Across New Jersey, nor'easters and other storm seasons can move the dates, and a storm that drops a lot of debris in late summer is a reason to book a visit earlier than planned.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A gutter that stays full between visits can spill water behind the fascia, and that is how water damage starts. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects a film that sits on the glass. On those houses, we usually suggest a third visit in the middle of the season, and we tell you why after the first look.
The window and gutter work we do on a regular schedule is the same job each time, and the crew knows what to expect from the last visit. The glass gets a clean rinse, the frames and sills are wiped, and the gutters are cleared and flushed.
You will see haze on the glass when the sun is low, which is usually the sign that the windows need a visit. You will see water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in the rain, which is the sign the gutters need one, though sheeting can also mean a slope problem that cleaning alone will not fix.
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.
We have worked across the neighborhoods of East Brunswick, and the crew is familiar with the older houses near the center of town as well as the newer builds on the edges. To schedule service, call or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. From that we give you an estimate, and the crew calls before they come, so you know the day and the window.
Lead time varies with the season, and the two busy windows in the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills. If you want a particular week, book early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, though the crew does need access to the side gate and a clear driveway if the windows face it.
Our professional window cleaning uses purified water on a pole, so the glass is cleaned from the outside without ladders where the windows can be reached from the ground. The cleaning solutions the crew uses on frames and sills are chosen for the surface in front of them. The cleaning services we run on a schedule are the same ones we offer for a single visit. Each house gets the same attention to every window and every sill, whether it has a few panes or a full front of picture windows. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal from the street.
Window cleaners who only do the glass tend to leave the gutters for someone else, and that is exactly why we do both in one visit. If you have a question about the job before you book, the crew answers it on the phone. You can also text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we see and what we would clean.
Not every window cleaner does, but we do. It is the same two people, and they clean the gutters first and the glass last on every job, so nothing from the roof ends up on clean windows. You get one visit and one invoice.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, the same way for a house or one of the condos in town. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure on the phone, which is the number you will see on the invoice.
On residential properties in East Brunswick, the outside carries most of the dirt: pollen in spring, rain dust, and the spots left by sprinklers. Interior glass is not part of this visit, but the outside is where we remove dirt from the glass that gets the weather, and it is the part that gathers the residential window grime you see from the street.
Most of our East Brunswick customers book in late spring, once the seed drop is done, and again in late fall, after the leaves are down. Across New Jersey the spring visit usually lands in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. If a storm or heavy wind has come through, book sooner.
Not on our jobs, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. The leaves, grit and black runoff from a run come down the wall and across any window below it, so the glass has to wait until the gutters are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior job. Tracks are wiped where they can be reached from outside. None of that is billed as an extra.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside the house are not part of it. We do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
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, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
