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 falls back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, and we can give you an exact number from a phone call or a text.
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.
For residential properties, we price window washing and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We quote it from those details, so you know what it will be before the crew arrives.
On our jobs, the quote moves with the number of stories (multi-story buildings add time), a roof too steep to walk, a residential window count that runs high, including picture windows, gutters that have gone years without cleaning, and guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Heavy grime on the sills adds time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another factor. A regular cleaning will remove dirt and grime from the glass, but it will not remove mineral spotting, so we say so when we see it. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and this quote covers the exterior. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across New Jersey, the quotes we give for these washing services most often come from a simple set of facts: how many stories, how many windows, and whether the gutters have been cleaned recently. Send a photo of the front of the house by text and we can tell you which of those apply. Get the stories and window count right, and the number we quote holds on the day. Quotes for residential and commercial window cleaning services are handled by phone, and the figures here are for houses.
| 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 of our customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in the spring and the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. The spring visit usually falls in late May to June across New Jersey, and the fall visit in November to early December.
What we find at each visit follows the season. In spring, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and forms a paste in the gutters. In fall, it is the wet leaf mat that packs the downspouts and leaves clogged gutters behind. Storm and wind seasons move those dates, so we confirm the timing when we call. Freezing nights are a real risk here, so water left standing in a clogged run can turn into water damage at the fascia.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, and a house near a busy road all leave more debris between visits. Sprinkler spots come back a day after cleaning when the water is hard, and that is a sign the glass needs more than a regular cleaning.
Two signs tell you it is time. Windows show a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters let water sheet over the edge during rain.
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 works across East Rutherford and the surrounding area, and we book a slot for both gutter cleaning and window cleaning services in one call, which is professional window cleaning and gutter work on one schedule. To get an estimate, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We use those details to set the visit and confirm the price before we come out.
Booking is faster outside the two busy windows of the year, when our calendar fills with spring and fall visits. Plan ahead if you want a particular week. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, though keeping pets inside while the ladders are up helps.
We provide a range of cleaning services, and our crew can schedule service for the whole exterior of the house, including every window and the sill below it. Customers who want their windows and gutters to keep their curb appeal from season to season book us for the regular cleanings, and our window cleaners handle every pane on the outside with purified water and no cleaning solutions left to streak.
Yes, our crew does both. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text before the visit. If your home is one of the condos on your block, tell us when you call, since the gutters and glass may belong to the association.
On our jobs, the outside of each residential window carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, so the glass looks hazy even when the inside is clean.
Across New Jersey, most of our customers book in the spring and the fall.
No. We clean gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters and downspouts drains off before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we tell you about any track that needs more than a wipe.
We clean the outside of the windows only on this visit; windows inside the house are not part of the job, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, 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.
