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 the approximate window count, and a bundled visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our crew has done this work for Hoboken customers throughout the spring and fall, the two seasons when most homeowners here want the house cleared before the weather turns. Tell us your stories and an estimate of your windows, and we will give you the number on the phone, which is the number on the invoice.
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 price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we give it over the phone or by text from those two facts. The number we quote is the number we charge. Bundling gutter cleaning with professional window cleaning costs less than two separate trips, because the crew sets up once and the ladders go up once per side of the house. To get your number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will book the date with you.
On our jobs, the same things move the quote again and again. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift. A high window count, or oversized panes, adds time to the window washing. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more hauling. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a different job from dirt, and cleaning will not remove it. A gutter that overflows for years can also leave water damage on the siding below it, and we point that out on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Each Hoboken house is different, so we ask for the same three things before we quote: the number of stories, a rough count of windows, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. A photo tells us more about the roofline and the gutter runs than a description does. Multi-story buildings get the same three questions, and the price covers the outside only, so the windows inside stay out of this quote. A clean exterior does a lot for curb appeal. With those in hand, the crew can tell you the number before anyone books a date.
| 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 Hoboken customers book our cleaning services twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. On our Hoboken jobs we see the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters in the spring, when the season turns. In the fall we find the leaf load in the gutters and the wet mat that builds up on the roofline. Storms and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we schedule service around the weather, and every window on the house goes in the same visit.
Some residential properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A residential window facing a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the outside of the glass than most. These are the cases where we suggest a third visit, and we tell you that on the first call.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 washing services, window cleaning services and gutter work across the city, with a regular route through its residential blocks. Booking runs from the estimate: call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the price and the first open date. Lead time is listed on the booking page for the current season. During the two busy windows of the year, when the season turns and the leaves come down, our calendar fills faster, so an early call helps.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside, uses purified water to remove dirt from the glass, and does not come into the house. Our crew also takes on condos and multi-unit buildings, where the job is booked by the building rather than by the unit, and the outside glass and gutter runs are done in one pass. Runoff from the roof is the first thing we check, since it shows where the gutters and downspouts are failing before we see the glass.
Yes. The same two people do both, in the same visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so that the dirt from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
We give the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text, for residential and commercial properties alike. We do not quote a figure without that information, and the number we give is the one on the invoice.
Usually the outside is where the damage shows first. Dust, rain residue and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass in Hoboken, and interior cleaning does not touch them. Our cleaning solutions are purified water only, so the glass dries without a film.
Most of our customers book regular cleanings in spring and in fall, after the spring rush and after the leaves come down. Many of our cleanings fill in those windows first.
No, because we clear the gutters before we touch the windows. The water and grit from the gutters would run down the wall and across the glass, so the glass waits until the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit where they can be reached from outside. Picture windows are done from the pole with the rest of the glass.
This visit covers the exterior only. We do not clean inside the windows, so interior and exterior glass are priced apart, and we do not do pressure washing here.
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 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.
