The same two people clean the 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 it by the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book spring and fall, and you can get a quote by phone or 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.
We price window washing and gutter cleaning 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 on the phone is the number we charge, whether it is a residential window job or a gutter run alone. What we quote from is usually the three things we can see from the street: stories, window count and how the gutters look from the ladder. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves it on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, picture windows and high upper windows, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Washing services that skip the downspouts leave the runoff sitting in the bottom of the run, so we flush every outlet until it runs clear, and we remove dirt from the sills and tracks the same visit. Window cleaning services that only do the glass miss the gutters and downspouts entirely, which is why we quote the two together.
Across New Jersey, our customers who want the exact number send us the stories and an approximate window count, plus a photo of the front of the house by text. We do not quote from a photo alone, but it lets us catch a sagging run or a sprinkler line hitting the glass before we arrive. Condos and residential properties with several units are priced per building, not per door, so the same visit covers every roof and every window on the elevation. Residential and commercial buildings are quoted the same way.
| 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 window and gutter customers book twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. The spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and the fall visit runs November to early December, so call early to schedule service for either. Spring is when pollen comes off the trees and settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters. Fall is when the leaves drop and the wet mat blocks the outlets before the first hard freeze.
In spring the pollen film is thickest on the windows that face the street, and by June almost every window on the south side has it. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sagged under ice by late winter. The storms that come through in the cold months, the nor'easters, can push the dates a few weeks either way.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit in the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, because they are mineral deposits and not dirt. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a grime film faster than the one down the street, and that film often needs cleaning solutions as well as water. Picture windows on the sunny side pick it up fastest. Regular cleanings keep those cases from building up into a bigger job.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze only when the sun is low, and the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean windows look clear in full light, so a haze that shows only at low sun means the glass is due. Our crew checks both at every visit and tells you what it found.
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 are a team of cleaning services that works the city as a whole, and our window cleaners go out on the same route as the gutter crew. The aim is to keep the visit simple: one crew, one visit, with our window cleaning services and gutter work done in order. For the homes we clean most often, a professional window cleaning visit keeps the curb appeal of the front of the house from fading between seasons. Our crew is on the ladder for the gutters before any glass comes out, so the work does not leave clogged gutters behind it.
To schedule service, start with a quote by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a price for every window and the gutters, plus a date. When the calendar fills in the spring and fall windows, we tell you when the next slot opens rather than squeezing you in. Multi-story buildings take a longer visit and are scheduled ahead for that reason.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Water damage from a gutter that overflows is the reason we check every outlet, so you hear from us about it before the truck leaves. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to start.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
For a residential window and gutter job, the number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will quote it before we book.
On our jobs the outside carries most of what dulls the glass here: pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots, and every window on the outside gets all three. The inside is a separate question, and interior and exterior glass are quoted as separate jobs.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, once the pollen has dropped and again after the leaves are down. To schedule service, book a date with us early in each season, since those are the busy windows.
Not with our order of work. We clear the roof, the gutters and every downspout, let the wall drip off, and only then start on the glass. Washing the glass first is how the glass gets dirtied twice.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. They are not billed as extras.
No. Windows inside are not part of this visit. This visit covers the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing either.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
