Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of every residential window in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front for the number.
Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this work in the spring and fall, when seeds and leaves are heaviest on the house. Clean gutters and glass do more for curb appeal than most people expect, which is why we do both at once.
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 bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, so ask for it before we schedule anything.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. Multi-story buildings take more time and equipment, so a third story or a roof too steep to walk changes the number. Oversized panes and picture windows take more care per pane. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not something cleaning removes, so we note it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same pass, so no run is left half done.
Window washing services on an older house are often more work than the count suggests, because the grime sits in the tracks and along the sills. Our window cleaning services are priced by stories and window count, and our crew handles the regular cleanings in the same visit, so the glass does not build up between jobs. If you want to know which of these apply to your house, text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and the rough number of windows. We will come back with the number.
If you also want the interior and exterior glass on the same house, that is quoted as a separate job, so ask for both numbers up front. Ask for a written estimate before the crew is booked, and check it against the photos we send after the work is done.

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 homeowners who book gutters and windows together do it in the spring and again in the fall. On our jobs, the spring visit lands after the seed and pollen drop finishes, and the fall visit comes after the leaves have come down and before the first hard freeze.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and turns to paste in the gutters, and the window and gutter cleaning together clears both before summer. In fall, the leaf load is the problem. Wet leaves sitting in clogged gutters send runoff down the fascia, and that is where water damage starts. Across New Jersey, storms and nor'easters can move those dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar.
Some houses need an extra visit each season. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. 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 picks up a film faster than one on a quiet street. For those houses we add a visit, and we tell you which schedule your lot needs after the first visit.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze only in low sun. You will know the gutters need work when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain. Either way, a cleaning solutions check during the visit costs nothing to ask for, and cleaning solutions for hard water are a separate call we make on the day.
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 East Orange, and we schedule service as the calendar opens. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you the number before anything is booked. Lead times depend on the season, so we give you the next open slot when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are spring, when the seed drop peaks, and fall, when the leaves come down. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so booking early in the season is the simplest way to get the date you want. Outside those windows, the calendar is usually easier to fit.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew reaches every window from the outside with a water-fed pole. Our professional window cleaning uses purified water, so the glass dries clean and the frames are wiped as part of the job. Everything on this page is written for residential properties, so if the building is residential and commercial, tell us when you call and we will say plainly whether the job fits. We would rather you hear it from us before work starts than find it out afterward.
Not every window cleaner does, but ours does. The same two people clean the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so we are not sending a second crew to the house.
We do not quote a figure from the website. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before anything is booked.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the most dirt in East Orange, and rain dust and sprinkler spots build up between visits. A visit is how we remove dirt before it bakes onto the glass, and clean inside glass cannot hide that haze.
Across New Jersey, our spring visits usually run late May to June, after the seed drop, and fall visits run November to early December, before the hard freeze. On East Orange jobs, we look at the house rather than the calendar before we pick the date.
Not if the gutters come first. When a run is cleared, the leaves and black water come down the wall and across the windows below, so we clear the gutters, flush the downspouts, and only then start on the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleared as part of the job. They are not billed as extras, and we note anything that needs more time before the crew starts.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this job, so if you need either, we will tell you who to book for it.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. If you live in one of the condos, tell us which windows and gutters are yours before we book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
