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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book spring and fall, and that calendar is what we work to.
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.

What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. Multi-story buildings, or a roof too steep to walk, take more time on the ladder. A window count with oversized panes or picture windows takes longer on the glass. Clogged gutters that nobody has opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more clearing before the flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, because no cleaning removes it, and we tell you about it before we quote the glass.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions for frames and sills are included too. This quote covers exterior glass only. If you also want interior and exterior glass done, that is a separate booking, and pressure washing is not part of either.
Quotes for cleanings are per visit, so each of the regular cleanings gets the same stories-and-window-count check. If you are asking about a residential and commercial property rather than a single house, mention it when you call and we will say what we can do.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories visible and a rough window count, or call (866) 435-6328. We come back with a figure from that, not a range.
| 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 here book professional window cleaning and gutter work twice a year, once in late May or June and once in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across New Jersey the spring visit lands in late May to June and the fall visit in November to early December.
In the spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters. Clean glass also helps curb appeal, since the front of the house is what the street sees first. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that has to come out before the first freeze, and the runoff from it is what carries grime down the wall below. Across New Jersey, nor'easters move the dates, so we book around the forecast rather than the calendar when a storm is coming.
Houses under heavy tree cover, where the roof is shaded and needles and grit leave clogged gutters and downspouts between visits, tend to need a third visit. The same goes for a sprinkler line hitting the glass, since those spots come back a day later, and for a house near a busy road or construction, where the glass picks up a film faster.
Clean windows show the difference most when the sun is low, so haze that appears then means it is time for a cleaning. Rain does not remove dirt that has dried on the pane. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in rain, since that is where water damage tends to start.
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 cleaning services cover window and gutter cleaning in Hackensack and its residential properties, and most homes we visit have a mix of older and newer glass. Booking starts with a phone call at (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the number from those. Lead time depends on the season, and it is shortest in the middle of the quiet months.
The two busy windows are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills first. If you want a slot in those months, book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside. If we find a loose seam or a hanger that has pulled while we are on the roof, we photograph it and tell you, and we do not sell repairs from the ladder.
We clean every residential window reachable from outside, including sill and frame on each one, and we schedule service around the weather rather than against it.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter work are done by the same two people in one visit, and the gutters and downspouts go first so the glass is not washed twice. We do not hand the gutter part off to someone else.
Our washing services are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and we give that number by phone or text. Text us a photo of the front of the house, and we come back with one figure, not a range.
On the houses we work, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Rain does not remove dirt from the pane, and the inside can look fine while the outside is hazy, so the outside is where the work shows.
Our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. Those are the busy windows, so calling early gets you the slot you want. Condos are booked the same way, so give us the stories and a rough window count when you call.
Not on our jobs. Gutters first, glass last: when a run is cleared, the leaves and black runoff come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are part of the job. None of it is billed as an extra line.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, so windows inside stay as they are, and pressure washing is not part of it.
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 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.
