The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. Pricing is by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Garfield jobs, most customers book us for the spring and fall cleanings, when pollen and leaves build up the most.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking our washing services for gutters and exterior windows in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our gutters and downspouts get cleared in the same visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs that need the lift, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Walk-out basements, hard-to-reach rooflines and condos with shared gutter runs add time, and we say so before the visit.
On a Garfield job we look at the house front first, the count of stories and the windows on each side, and the gutter runs that carry the most grime and runoff. A heavy tree line over the roof usually means more debris in the gutters and more time to remove dirt from the sills, which sets the time on the ladder. Before we come, text us a photo of the front of the house and the number of stories so the estimate matches what the crew sees. We do not guess on the phone, and we will not hit you with a different number on the day. Ask for the written estimate on our window cleaning services before you book, and we will send it.

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 both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Regular cleanings on our Garfield jobs usually land in spring and fall. The spring visit lands in late May to June across New Jersey, and the fall visit in November to early December.
In spring we find pollen on south-facing glass and a pollen paste in the gutters, and the window and gutter cleaning clears both before summer. In fall we find the leaf load, wet and matted in the downspouts, and storm or wind seasons, including nor'easters, can move the dates.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof sends needles and grit into the gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean. Before we book, we ask whether a property is residential and commercial, since a mixed building changes the photo check and the schedule. Houses like those run on a three to four month cycle.
You will see when windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in rain. Text us a photo of either one and we will tell you what it is. This visit is exterior only, so we do not combine interior and exterior glass in one ticket. If you use cleaning solutions on the glass between visits, tell the crew before it arrives so they can check the frames for residue.
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 provides window cleaning services for homes across Garfield, and we are a professional window cleaning and gutter company that handles both jobs on one schedule. Most people find us because they want their curb appeal kept up without two separate contractors. We clean the gutters first, so the water that runs off them never lands on the glass we have just done.
Booking is simple. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with the number of stories, and we send a written estimate. Lead time depends on the calendar, and our busiest weeks fall in the spring and fall visit windows, when our schedule fills, so book early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not come inside. Gutters that are left alone can cause water damage to fascia and siding, and clogged gutters are the first thing we find on most of these visits. Our crew works on multi-story buildings and single-family homes alike.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto the windows.
On a residential window job, the number comes from your stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the number before we book.
On our Garfield jobs, the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Clean windows on the outside cut the grime you see from inside too.
Across New Jersey, most customers book the spring visit in late May or June and the fall visit in November or early December. Book early, because those windows fill up, and call to schedule service.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When the gutters and downspouts are cleared, the leaves and black water come down the wall, so we rinse the wall before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are an add-on on residential properties, quoted before the visit.
The crew cleans every window we can reach from outside and photographs any it cannot reach. We do not clean windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
