Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of the homes we work are on a spring and fall schedule, and we give you the number on the phone before we come.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. We get there from the stories on the house and the approximate window count, and the window and gutter bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew finds the same few things that change a quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk adds time on the ladder or the boom or scissor lift. Window count and oversized panes change the glass work. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it and quote it separately.
Our experience with exact numbers comes from getting the details first: the stories, the window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. With those we can say what the job will cost before anyone climbs. A house with a window-heavy front, picture windows and multi-story buildings nearby behaves differently from a plain two-story, and the estimate reflects that. Pollen film in spring adds a pass to the glass on some houses. Tell us about any cleaning solutions you have used before and we will note what we see on the glass. Interior glass is not in this number, so if you want interior and exterior work done, that is a separate job we price on request. Residential and commercial properties follow the same method, and the figure you get reflects the real set of tasks on your building. Some owners ask for regular cleanings to hold a schedule, and that is easy to set up once the first visit is done. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will book a date that suits you.

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 homes get both done twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Spring visits run late May to June across New Jersey, and fall visits run late November to December. Our cleaning services follow that schedule unless the house says otherwise. In the spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and a paste packed into the downspout elbows. In the fall visit we find the wet leaf mat and the grit that the first storms wash down. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we book against the actual state of the house rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the gutters between visits, and clogged gutters are the first thing to check when a visit comes early. A clogged gutter that backs up in a storm sends water behind the fascia, which is how water damage starts. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more film than the others. Professional window cleaning is the right fit for these, and our crew sets the interval once it has seen the house.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Our crew checks both on the first visit and tells you what it finds. Clean glass does a lot for curb appeal, and the haze that settles on the glass is what dulls the view from the windows inside the house. Window cleaners who work only the glass leave the gutter runoff to land on the panes they just finished.
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.
Booking with us starts with a phone call or a text. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service and we confirm the time window by phone. We ask for the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the estimate from those. Lead time is set by our calendar, and the two busy windows of the year, spring and late fall, fill first. Book early in those months and you get the slot you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know the crew is on the way.
Our window and gutter cleaning covers the residential window and the gutter line on a single visit, so the same two people handle the whole outside of the house. We work on residential properties across the city and clean windows from the ground or from a boom or scissor lift. When you schedule service, we confirm the time window and send photos of every window and every run when the job is done. Every window on the outside gets the same attention, from the ground floor to the top, and the sill gets wiped as part of the clean.
Yes. The same two people clean gutters and downspouts and the outside of the glass in one visit. We do gutters first and the glass last, so the water and grit from the gutters never land on clean windows.
Our window cleaning services and the gutter work are quoted together, from the stories and size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo, and the figure comes from those details, not from a standard rate.
Yes, because the outside carries the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Grime and dust build up on the glass between visits and dull the view from indoors.
Across New Jersey most of our customers book spring and fall. Book early in those months, since the calendar fills first. Condos come up on the phone too, so tell us what kind of building you are in and we will say what the visit covers.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. Clearing the gutters first lets us remove dirt from the roofline before any glass is wet, and when the glass is washed before the gutters, the runoff from the roof lands on it and has to be washed again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the exterior clean, and none of it is billed as an extra.
Exterior only on this visit. Our washing services stop at the exterior glass, so we do not clean the inside of the glass or do pressure washing on this job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
