Yes, 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 lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it before we come. Our crew has done this work in spring and fall across New Jersey for years, and it is the most common way our customers book.
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 the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking window cleaners and a gutter crew separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and a rough window count and we will quote it before we arrive.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are the same ones every time: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, picture windows that are oversized and take longer to hold and rinse, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. On multi-story buildings the ladder and pole work is the main line on the quote, and we say so before we arrive. Clogged gutters are where water damage usually starts, so a run packed for years costs more to clear than one done every season. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a recent job, the crew had to lift a guard along the back run and clear a downspout that had been silently backing up for a season, and the cost came from the stories and the guard work, not from anything else. For an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has, and we will work from that. A rough count of windows is enough at this stage; we measure the rest on the day and tell you before we start if anything changes.
Getting it right the first time is what matters, which is why we ask about stories and window count first, and why a photo helps more than a guess. Window washing with purified water, professional window cleaning on the outside of the glass, and clearing clogged gutters all happen in the same visit, so you pay for one trip and one setup. Clean glass and clear runs do a lot for curb appeal, and the windows inside are not part of this price.
| 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 Hanover customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across New Jersey the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. Plan to schedule service once in each season, and keep regular cleanings on that rhythm so the calendar stays even.
In the spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutters, while the fall visit is about the leaf load that comes down all at once and the wet mats that sit in the runs over winter. Storm and wind seasons, the nor'easters that move through the state, can shift the timing, and we would rather come after a bad blow than leave the runs full.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, so those customers are on every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits a residential window leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than the glass can shed it. We tell you which of those your house needs after the first visit.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Keeping up a schedule means these two jobs stay small rather than becoming a full day's work. Clean windows are easier to keep clean, and every window we rinse now is one less film to lift next spring.
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 clean gutters and exterior windows across Hanover and the surrounding area of New Jersey, and our calendar is shared across the whole city. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text at (866) 435-6328: send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm a visit window. Lead time depends on the season and our open dates, and we will tell you the first slot we have when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen month and the fall leaf month, when the calendar fills and the washing services and window cleaning services we offer are in highest demand. If you want a particular week in those months, book early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we call before we come so there are no surprises at the gate.
We clean residential and commercial buildings, and our crews handle everything from single homes to condos and multi-unit buildings. Grime on the glass, gutters and downspouts that have stopped flowing, and runoff pooling against the foundation all come from the same buildup, and it is the same work to remove dirt from all of them. Our commercial clients on condos and similar buildings are scheduled per building.
Yes, and it is the same crew, on residential and commercial buildings alike. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows. Both jobs happen in one visit with one setup.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us a photo and we will quote before we arrive.
Both the interior and exterior of a window pick up different dirt, and on our jobs the outside carries most of the buildup here: pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting. The inside does not pick those up, so outside cleaning does the real work.
Most of our Hanover customers book in the spring pollen month and the fall leaf month. Across New Jersey the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep both jobs small.
No. Gutters first, glass last. If the glass is washed before the gutters are cleared, the leaves and black water come down the wall and across the panes, and someone has to wash them again.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. Large picture windows are cleaned from the pole on the outside, so none of these show up as a line item.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing. Purified water is the only thing that touches the glass, so no cleaning solutions go on your windows.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
