Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing washes back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most houses.
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.

On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the ones the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Sealing the whole picture into one number before we start is the goal, so you hear it before work begins.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories. If you want to talk it through, call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through the window count with you. Across New Jersey, the houses that take the longest are the ones with cleaning solutions needed on heavy grime and the ones with picture windows, since those panes take more care per square foot. Residential and commercial jobs both start from the same count of stories and glass, and the quote lands in the same place for the same building. Interior and exterior glass is priced separately if you ask for it, but this visit covers the exterior only. We ask for a written estimate before any work is booked, so you can compare it against regular cleanings at other companies with the same measurements.
| 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.
Most of our customers in Fort Lee book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in the fall, so one crew can take the gutters and the glass on the same visit. Across New Jersey the same pattern holds, and the timing follows the seasons more than any calendar date.
In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall the leaf load is the thing, a wet mat that sits in the runs and backs water up under the shingles, and that is where water damage starts on a roofline.
Some houses and multi-story buildings need a third visit. We see that on heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit keep packing the downspouts between cleanings. We also see it where a sprinkler line hits the glass, leaving spots that come back a day after we have cleaned them, and on houses close to a busy road or active construction, where dust settles faster than the glass can hold it. Our cleaning services are scheduled around those conditions, and we give you the number of visits your lot needs after the first one.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and that haze takes the curb appeal off a house faster than most people expect. You will know gutters need it when clogged gutters let water sheet over the edge in a 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 cleaned window and gutter cleaning jobs across Fort Lee, and the crew covers the city as a whole. Our window cleaning services start with a phone or text estimate: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you the number before anything is scheduled. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and fall, when most homes need the gutters cleared and professional window cleaning done at once. Book early in those windows if you want a particular date. We will tell you the typical lead time when you call.
We clean residential properties, condos and commercial buildings, and the estimate covers the same measurements either way: stories, residential window count, and what the gutters carry. Every window on the exterior gets done, so you get clean windows from top to bottom, including the upper floors from the pole, and each sill is wiped as part of the visit. Schedule service by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a photo of the front of the house, and we will take it from there.
Yes. Our crew does both on the same visit. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and wash the glass last, so the dirty water from the runs does not run down onto clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will send you the figure for our washing services before anything is booked.
On the houses we clean in Fort Lee, the outside takes the most. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the exterior, and cleaning only the windows inside the house will not remove dirt from that side of the glass. Runoff from the gutters adds to that on the lower panes.
Most of our customers book in late spring, after the pollen drop, and again in fall, after the leaves come down. Across New Jersey the timing follows the seasons, so we set the date against what the house looks like.
Not on our visits, because we do gutters first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, someone has to wash it again once the runs are cleared, which is why we do not work in that order.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. We do not clean tracks as a separate job, and we tell you what we can reach before we start.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing on this visit, so you will not be charged for them.
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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
