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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 to book. Most of our work here happens in the spring and fall, when leaves and tree debris are heaviest.
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 stories and approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our cleaning services are priced the same way for residential and commercial glass, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We price interior and exterior glass as separate jobs, so that number covers the outside only.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes how the work gets done. A window count with oversized panes takes longer than the same count of standard sashes. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves take more time than a light run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning alone. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a recent Freehold job, the quote came in higher than the homeowner expected because the house had three stories of glass on the rear and a gutter run that had not been opened in several seasons. Once we had photos of the front and a count of the windows, the number on the phone matched the invoice. To get your exact figure, text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to quote the job and to see whether a boom or scissor lift is needed on the back run.
Our crew has cleaned houses with heavy pollen film on south-facing glass and debris packed in the elbows of the downspouts. Those jobs take longer to flush and rinse than a clean house with a light load, and we say so before we start. Picture windows and large panes around a porch add time as well, and we count them separately on the quote so you see where the number comes from. Keeping up with regular cleanings keeps the work lighter each visit. Frames with grease or sticker residue get mild cleaning solutions, applied by hand, and that is noted on the quote.

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 Freehold customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across New Jersey, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits late October to November. Professional window cleaning and gutter work on one schedule keeps the calendar simple, and our cleaning services follow that same calendar.
In spring, what we find on the glass is a dusty film on the south-facing panes and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall, it is the leaf load and a wet mat in the channels that sags under cold rain. Storm and wind seasons, including the nor'easters that come through the state, move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we book around the weather when we can. Many window cleaners skip the gutters, and a clean pane under a clogged channel gets the runoff first.
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 hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust that builds up on the sills and in the tracks. We see clogged gutters cause water damage on houses where nobody noticed the overflow until the fascia was soft. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass take longer than a two-story house, and the crew plans for that on the call. Cleaning the outside leaves the windows inside untouched, so plan a separate indoor clean if you want them done.
The sign that windows need cleaning again is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign that gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass also does a lot for curb appeal when the house is seen from the street. If you see either, text us a photo and we tell you what it is and whether it is time to book.
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 in Freehold's residential neighborhoods for window and gutter cleaning, and we book clean windows jobs on a schedule that fits the year. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate at (866) 435-6328 that asks for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is, and we confirm the date when you book.
Spring and fall are our busy windows, because leaves and tree debris arrive at the same time for many houses. When the calendar fills, we keep the first slots for customers who booked earlier, so schedule service as early as you can. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every run and every window before the crew leaves.
Whether it is a single residential window or every window on a house, the crew handles it from the outside. A sill, a screen or a track that needs wiping gets done in the same visit at no extra step on the bill. Residential properties in Freehold ask for the same thing: the gutters clear and the glass washed in one trip.
Yes. Many window cleaning services skip the gutters, but the same two people clean the gutters first and then the glass in one visit, so you book one job and get one invoice.
We do not quote a figure without the details. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Condos with their own gutters and exterior glass are quoted the same way, and we remove dirt from the outside glass on the visit.
On our Freehold jobs, the outside carries the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those do not come off with an indoor clean. Runoff from the roof streaks the glass below it, and the outside glass is where most of the grime sits.
Most of our Freehold customers book in the spring and in the fall. Across New Jersey the same two windows work for most houses.
No. Gutters first, glass last. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed before we touch the panes, so anything that comes off the roof is gone before the glass is washed. If the glass was washed first, someone has to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. They are not billed as extras.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. Our washing services do not include interior glass or pressure washing, and interior and exterior glass are separate jobs.
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.
