The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Edgewater jobs, most customers book this combined visit each spring and fall, so the calendar fills around those months. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of your house to get a number before we come out.
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 a combined window and gutter visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, and we set it before the crew arrives. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, the same as every other line in our washing services.
Most of what moves a quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof steep enough that we set the boom or scissor lift changes the setup. A high window count or oversized picture windows add time on the glass. Heavy pollen film adds time too, and the cleaning solutions we pick depend on what is stuck to the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are timed separately, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain no cleaning removes, so we flag it on the estimate instead of pretending it will wash off. Regular cleanings mean less buildup to clear when the crew arrives, which keeps the visit shorter.
On a recent Edgewater job, a two-story house with a full run of gutters and a set of large street-facing windows went from a rough phone estimate to a firm number only after we walked the back run and counted the panes. That is the usual pattern: send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front, and we come back with the exact figure. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo and ask for a written estimate before you book a date. Residential and commercial glass is quoted the same way, by stories and window count, though this page covers houses only. When you call, say whether you want interior and exterior glass done, because they are quoted as separate jobs.
| 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.
On our Edgewater jobs most customers book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and one crew in one visit handles both on the same calendar. Across New Jersey the same two windows hold for most houses, and we set the exact dates once we see the roofline. Cleaning services scheduled around the seasons catch the buildup before it turns into a problem. Window cleaners who only do the glass tend to book one visit and skip the runs above it, which is why we book both.
In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and a paste of pollen and seed packed into the gutter elbows. Across New Jersey the spring visit lands in late May to June, and professional window cleaning then takes the pollen film off before summer heat bakes it on. By fall the leaf load is what fills the runs, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often find clogged gutters that have started to pull away from the fascia. The runoff from a clogged run can get behind the fascia, which is how water damage starts. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, and a bad nor'easter can leave debris behind that calls for an extra pass.
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 the spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grime on the glass than a quiet street does. Multi-story buildings and tall houses take more ladder time, so they need a longer slot. Windows inside are a separate job, and we do not clean them on this visit. Clean windows stay clean longer when the sprinklers stay off the glass. For most houses the outside glass shows haze mainly when the sun sits low, and gutters show they need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the 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.
We have done window and gutter cleaning on residential properties, condos included, in several Edgewater neighborhoods, and we can tell you whether your street is on our regular route when you call. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm a slot. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so a request made early in those months gets a better date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
Our window cleaning services run on a visit plan that covers every window and every gutter run, not a sample of them. The crew checks the sill and the frame on each pane and works to remove dirt from it before moving on, so the job does not finish with a missed window on the back of the house. For residential window cleaning and residential gutter cleaning on the same property, we schedule service as one appointment, which keeps the number of trips down and the ladder setup to one per side. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal from the street. If you want a date on the calendar, call (866) 435-6328 and we will hold the slot while we confirm the estimate.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We do both jobs in one visit, gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so the dirty runoff from the gutters is cleared before anyone touches the glass.
We give the figure by phone or text from the number of stories and the size of the house, and the number we quote is the number we charge.
For most Edgewater houses, yes. The outside collects pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those show even when the inside is clean. That is why our window cleaning services focus on the outside glass.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, and those are the months the calendar fills fastest. Book early in those windows, because professional window cleaning dates go first.
No. We clear the gutters, flush every downspout and let the wall stop dripping before we touch the glass, so there is no runoff left to streak the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside, and we remove dirt from them as we go.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and pressure washing is not included in our washing services.
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.
Yes, if the gutters and outside glass can be reached from the ground or from one ladder position per side. Condos and multi-story buildings are quoted by stories and window count, just like a house, so send the stories and a photo of the building and we tell you whether it is on our regular route.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
