Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and both jobs done together in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New Jersey, the most common times customers book us are spring and fall, when the leaves and grit are heaviest on the glass and in the gutters.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window washing services and gutter work go on one quote, so you see one number. 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 from those. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we have to work from a boom or scissor lift, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes.
Gutters and downspouts get flushed, screens get rinsed and sills get wiped as part of the job, and none of it is billed as an extra. Our window cleaning services run on water-fed poles and purified water, and that is the part of window washing that gets the glass clean without a streak. We do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing on this visit, so the work stays outside the house.
On a Highland Park job, the quote is shaped by the stories and the windows, but also by how much runoff and grime has built up along the wall below the gutters. When the gutters have been left a long time, the water runs over the lip and down the siding, and the glass beneath gets the grime first. Part of the time on the quote is the work to remove dirt from a run that has sat for years, and we clear that as part of the run, which is why the gutters come before the windows. If the house is a condo, tell us whether the gutters are shared, because that changes what the quote covers. If you want to know the number before we come, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories. We will say what we see and what it will cost before a crew is booked, and the number we give is the number you will be billed.

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 across New Jersey book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall. Across New Jersey, the spring visit falls in late May to June. On our Highland Park jobs the fall visit falls in late October to November, which is the timing that catches the pollen and the leaves before they set. The pollen film settles on south-facing glass and makes a paste in the gutter elbows, while the fall visit is about the wet leaf mat that sits in the gutters after the trees finish dropping. Those two visits are why one crew in one visit makes sense: the gutters and the glass are dirty from the same weather, so cleaning them together saves a second setup. The same spring and fall timing holds for residential and commercial buildings, since the leaves and grit hit both.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little. Across New Jersey, a nor'easter in the fall can push the visit earlier if the gutters are full of wet debris, and a wet spring can push the spring visit later. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction usually means a third visit, because the grit and spotting come back faster than twice a year can handle. Those are the three things we ask about on the first call. This visit covers the exterior only, since interior and exterior glass are different jobs.
There are two signs a window needs cleaning sooner than the schedule says. The first is a haze you only see when the sun is low, which is the film left by dust and runoff. That haze shows most on picture windows, because they hold so much glass in one pane. The second sign is on the gutter side: water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of falling into the downspout means the run has filled with debris. On regular cleanings we catch both before they cause trouble, and the schedule is built around that. Our crew uses cleaning solutions on the glass itself, but sprinkler etching does not lift with them, which is why a mineral treatment is quoted separately.
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 work across Highland Park on residential properties and book it as one city, with the crew coming to you from the same route. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or text a photo of the house front with the stories, and we will confirm the slot. Our calendar fills during the two busy windows of the year, which are the spring months and the fall leaf months, so the earlier you book those the better your chance of the date you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crews use professional window cleaning methods and the same cleaning services on every visit, and they do not clean windows inside, so a Highland Park house gets the same exterior work as one in the next town over.
Many of the homeowners and building managers who call us are looking for window cleaners who will do the gutters in the same trip, which is the whole reason this bundle exists. One crew, one visit, one invoice that matches the quote. The first thing we clear on any house is a run of clogged gutters, since the glass below takes the runoff first, and if the leftover water has been sitting against the siding a long time it can cause water damage that a window cleaning will not fix. Clearing the gutters first keeps that from happening, and it keeps the curb appeal of the house intact between visits. The same pole work covers multi-story buildings, with upper-story glass done from the pole.
Yes. The same crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so runoff from the gutters does not land on clean windows. Our residential window clients get both done this way on every visit.
We work on residential properties, including condos, and the number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. We give it by phone or text before the crew is booked, and gutters and downspouts are in that number.
The outside takes most of the grime, since rain dust, runoff and sprinkler spotting build up on exterior glass. A clean inside does not stop that, so exterior cleaning is the part that matters most for the view from the street.
Across New Jersey, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit falls in late October to November. Those are the two windows to plan around for Highland Park.
No. We clear and flush the gutters before we touch the glass, so nothing left in the runs washes down onto the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included in the quote as well.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on it.
You do not need to be home, and you get photos of every window and gutter run before the crew leaves. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
