Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price our cleaning services by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New Jersey we keep the same order of work on every house: the gutters come clean, then the glass. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, or text a photo of the front of the house.
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.
The price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking window and gutter cleaning as two separate jobs. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it, a back run that sits twenty feet up, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles, seed pods 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 are not billed as extras. A job that touches interior and exterior glass is quoted on its own.
The exact figure depends on how many stories you have and roughly how many windows, so send us a photo of the front of the house by text and we will come back with a number before anyone books a date. Picture windows and large panes take longer per pane than standard double-hung sashes, and we count them that way. The same count works for residential and commercial buildings. Cleaning solutions for the glass are purified water, so there is nothing to add or charge for beyond the visit itself. Most homeowners we book in East Hanover ask for both jobs at the same time, which is why the bundle is the usual choice, and regular cleanings are easier to plan than a one-off call.
| 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 homes we serve for professional window cleaning are on two visits a year, once in spring and once in fall, and our cleaning services run on that schedule, with window cleaners doing the glass in the same trip as the gutters. Spring visits usually land in late May to June across the state, and in East Hanover the fall visit usually lands in late October to November.
In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, which turns into a wet mat within a few weeks of the last drop, and left alone that mat becomes clogged gutters before winter. Across New Jersey, nor'easters and wind seasons move the dates, so we confirm the visit a day ahead rather than holding to a calendar.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings with tall glass tend to need one most often. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust on the frames faster than the others.
East Hanover averages about 50 inches of rain a year, and June, July and September are the wettest months, which is when water damage from overflowing gutters tends to show up on siding and foundations. You will know the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low, and the outside pane carries most of it, since dirt rarely reaches the windows inside. Clean glass and gutters carry most of the curb appeal of a house, and a dirty front is the first thing a neighbor notices. The gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down 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.
Our crew handles window and gutter cleaning jobs across East Hanover, and you can book from a phone call at (866) 435-6328 or a text with your number of stories and a photo of the house front. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Plan on booking ahead in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, because our calendar fills first in those weeks. Outside those windows a slot usually opens up sooner. Residential properties, condos and small multi-story buildings are all on the same booking line.
We clean every window we can reach from the outside, including upper-story panes from the pole, and we wipe every sill and frame we touch, so every residential window on the house comes out with clean windows and no dust left on the sill. The estimate tells you which windows are in scope so you are not surprised on the day, and the schedule service runs the same way for a first-time booking or a regular plan.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters and downspouts first. Doing it this way keeps the glass clean once the job is finished.
Our window cleaning services and gutter work are priced together, so the number comes from your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote it without seeing the front of the house.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the buildup: rain dust and sprinkler spotting land on the glass before anything reaches the inside. Our washing services start with that outside glass, and cleaning the outside alone is a common and sensible choice.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, and those are the weeks our calendar fills first. Condos and houses book the same way, and booking in one of those windows gets you a slot sooner.
No. We do gutters first and glass last, because the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall and across any window below. Runoff from a clogged gutter carries grime, so washing the glass first means washing it again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, which is how we remove dirt from the frames rather than just the pane. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and we tell you before the crew starts if one is not.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on the same job.
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.
