Yes, 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 dirty washes back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, and we are the crew that does the work on every house.
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.
Our window cleaners price professional window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a larger window count or oversized panes, 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.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the window washing job and are not billed as extras. The price covers the exterior glass only, so windows inside the house are not part of the number. Clogged gutters that hold water against the fascia are the first place we look, because left alone they lead to water damage in the soffit and the wall below. On multi-story buildings the quote also reflects the lift, so we measure before we give a number.
On our jobs the cases that cost the most are the ones where the glass has not been cleaned for a long time and the gutters are full, because we do both at once and the crew needs more time on the ladder. Clean glass and clear gutters are a big part of curb appeal from the street. Here is the part we can tell you without a visit: send a photo of the front of the house by text, tell us the number of stories, and give us a rough window count. That is enough for us to quote the job over the phone, and the photo lets us see the roofline before the truck leaves.
| 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 schedule service twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Here is what we find on every window and run of gutter at each visit. In spring the pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste inside the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs once the leaves drop. Storm and wind seasons move these dates from year to year, so we book by what the roof looks like rather than by the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames and sills than a quiet street does. Those are the cases where three or four visits a year is what we see working.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and streaks on the frame that wipe off with a finger. Clean windows make that haze easy to spot, so check the glass in low sun. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. When either one shows up, the job is due, and a sill that stays dusty between visits is the first place it shows. A lot of residential properties go years between cleanings, and most residential window frames collect dust that nobody checks, so we give you a photo of each run at every visit to keep the record straight.
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 gutter cleaning services and window cleaning services across Glen Rock and the surrounding area, and the fastest way to get a slot is to call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give you a written estimate from that, and the lead time for a booking is set by the calendar at the time you call. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so if you want a particular week in spring or fall, book early. Our washing services cover the glass and the gutters and downspouts in the same visit, and that is the point of bundling them: one set of ladders, one trip, one invoice. We take the grime off the frames and the sills as well, and we remove dirt from the gutter runs so the runoff leaves the house clean.
We clean residential and commercial buildings, including the ones that get the most foot traffic. Condos and small multi-unit buildings are on our regular route, and the crew works the same way on every building, glass first only after the gutters are cleared. If your building has a lot of windows, tell us on the call and we will plan the lift before the visit rather than on the day.
Yes. The same two people do both, gutters first and glass last, so the work is in one visit with one invoice. On the glass we use purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to streak.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. We give it by phone or text from those details, and it is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass goes dull from outside first. Cleaning the outside alone is a sound choice when the inside is fine.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, so those are the busy windows. Regular cleanings in spring run late May to June across New Jersey, and fall visits run November to early December. Call (866) 435-6328 early for a particular week.
No, that is the reason we do gutters first. The leaves and the black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job. We rinse the screens, wipe the sills and clear the tracks as we go. Picture windows are cleaned the same way, from the pole.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, so the interior and exterior of the house are not the same job. We do not clean the inside of the windows or do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. The crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
