Yes, 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 doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall cleaning seasons on Franklin Park homes, so most of the questions we get come from people who have never had both done together.
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 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. Both residential and commercial buildings are quoted the same way, by story count and window count. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-on fees appearing later on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high window count add time at the glass. Pollen film on the frames takes extra passes, and the cleaning solutions for frames and sills are included in the price. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take more passes. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras. This quote covers the outside glass only, so interior and exterior work is not priced together here.
The quote that surprises people is usually the house with the most glass on the back, not the tallest house on the street. Regular cleanings can be set on a schedule, and we will quote that plan on the phone. When you compare window cleaners, ask what the number covers before you book. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we will give you the exact number before anyone climbs a ladder. Clean glass and gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, so that is usually what people are booking for.

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 gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and one crew in one visit makes that schedule easy to keep. Across New Jersey, the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, after the pollen drop, when the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and packs the elbows of the downspouts. The fall visit lands in late October to November, after the leaves drop, when the wet leaf mat is what we find in the gutters and the glass has the summer grime on it.
Heavy tree cover over the roof changes the schedule. Needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts and leave clogged gutters between visits, so those houses are often on every three or four months instead of twice a year. A sprinkler line hitting the glass produces the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and clogged gutters that overflow send runoff onto the fascia, which can lead to water damage there, so those houses need a closer look as well. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames and sills, so a regular cleaning is the way to remove dirt before it builds up, which is another reason for a third visit. Condos and multi-story buildings with a lot of glass on the upper floors are quoted by story count for the same reason.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low is the sign, and on a house it is usually the outside pane, since windows inside are not part of this visit. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge in rain means the run is full. Our professional window cleaning crew looks for both on every visit, and our cleaning services include the photos sent afterward.
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 handles window and gutter cleaning on residential properties across Franklin Park, and we can schedule service for most of the town on a regular rotation. Booking any of our window cleaning services starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we return a number. Lead time depends on the calendar at the time you call, and we confirm the date with you before anything is booked.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills during both. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early rather than waiting for the first warm day. The crew looks at every window and every sill on the visit, and the goal is clean windows on every floor. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, so you can leave the house as it is.
Whether you need a single visit or a regular plan, the process is the same. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we will give you a clear number and explain what is included. We send photos of every gutter run and every window so you can see the clean windows and the finished work for each residential window on the house.
Yes, it is the same crew. Many window cleaners only do the glass, but the two people who clean your gutters are the ones who clean the outside of your windows, and they do both on the same visit.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before the visit. There is no fixed figure we can print without seeing the house. This page covers houses, so for residential and commercial work, tell us what the building is when you call.
The outside of the glass collects pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so grime builds up outside even when the inside looks fine. A regular cleaning is the way to remove dirt that rain alone leaves behind.
Most of our customers here book in late spring or in fall, after the pollen season or the leaf drop. Those are the windows when a single visit does the most good.
Gutters first, glass last. When the gutters and downspouts are cleared, the leaves and the black runoff come down the wall and across the windows below. If the glass were washed first, it would need washing again, so we clear the roof and gutters first and flush every downspout before touching the glass.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job. Our washing services include rinsing the screens, wiping the sills and cleaning the tracks as needed, and none of that is billed as an extra.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Windows inside are not part of our window cleaning services, and we do not do pressure washing.
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 unlock the side gate. If you live in condos, tell us when you call, because the outside glass may not be yours to book on your own. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
