Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey we have cleaned gutters and exterior glass each spring and fall, so you can plan the visit around the seasons you already know.
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 the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Professional window cleaning is quoted the same way for residential and commercial glass: stories first, then window count, with the gutter work added to the same figure.
On our jobs, these are the things that move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high count of small panes both add time at the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more hand clearing. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone does not remove, so we note it when we see it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are priced as separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only.
For the exact figure, the fastest route is to text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories. We can usually work out the window count from the photo, and we will confirm the number before the crew is booked. On a recent Edison job, a two-story house with a long run of windows and gutters that had not been opened in a while came to the number quoted from the photo, with the sprinkler spotting noted on the invoice as a separate item. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo and we will send a written estimate.

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 Edison customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. The spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed drop has finished. The fall visit falls in late October to November, after the leaves are down. Most customers stick with two cleanings a year, and regular cleanings in those windows keep curb appeal up because clean glass and open gutters are what the street sees.
Each visit finds something specific. In the spring, the film sits on south-facing glass and the paste packs the gutters and the downspout elbows. In the fall, the leaf load is the main problem, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see clogged gutters sagging by winter, with water damage following at the fascia and siding below. Storm and wind seasons, including the nor'easters that track across New Jersey, can move the timing, so we check the calendar against the weather before we confirm a date.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packing between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction also picks up more grime between visits. If your house is in one of those situations, we will say so on the first visit and suggest a schedule that fits.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need clearing when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Either way, a short call is enough to plan the next visit.
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 handle window and gutter cleaning on residential properties across Edison, and a residential window job is booked the same way as a gutter job. You schedule service by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season and our calendar, and we will tell you the first open slot when you call. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills, so booking early in those months gets you the date you want. Condos and townhouses are quoted the same way, by stories and window count, and multi-story buildings follow the same method.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know when to expect us. For every window on the outside of the house, we clean the glass, the frame and the sill, and we confirm the list with you before the visit so there is no surprise on the invoice. The glass is done with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left behind to streak it. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, or text a photo of the front of the house.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both. Our washing services start with the gutters and move to the glass after, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run down onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories, and we will confirm the figure before booking.
In Edison, the outside takes the most grime: pollen film in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that land on the glass. Our window cleaning services start there, because removing dirt from the outside of the panes is most of what the visit does. Once that is done, the outside is clean on its own, and the inside can stay as it is.
Most of our Edison customers book in late May or June and again in late October or November. Those windows fit the pollen drop and the leaf drop, so the work sits between the seasons that load the gutters most.
Not if we do it in the right order. We blow off the roof, empty the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass, so runoff never reaches the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the same visit when they are reachable from the outside.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only, and windows inside are not part of it. We do not do pressure washing on this visit, though pressure washing can remove dirt from siding and is quoted as its own job if you want it.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
