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 onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and one visit for both costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Holiday City-Berkeley jobs most customers book in the spring and again in the fall, which is when the leaves come down and when the glass shows it. Ask us for a number over the phone and that is what you pay.
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. Give us both over the phone or by text, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking our washing services and the gutter work separately, and the exact saving is shown in your estimate. The window cleaning services line on the estimate lists the glass, and the gutter line lists the runs.
Several things move the quote, and most of them are things our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer and more setup. Oversized picture windows and tall panes take more time per pane, and heavy grime on the sills adds more. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take more clearing before any flushing can start, and regular cleanings keep that clearing short. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that regular window washing does not remove, so we flag it before we quote the mineral work. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. If you want interior and exterior glass done in the same visit, tell us and we will quote that part separately.
On one of our Holiday City-Berkeley jobs, the owner had a two-story house with a lot of glass on the back and sides, and the gutters had not been cleared in several seasons. The quote moved once the crew saw the packed runs and the sprinkler spotting on the south windows, and the owner got a written estimate before anyone climbed the ladder. Send us a photo of the front of your house by text, along with your story count and a rough window count, and we will tell you what we see from the picture before we come out. That is the quickest way to get the number that will actually hold.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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 customers here book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for most houses. Spring is the window and gutter cleaning visit that clears the pollen film off south-facing glass and the pollen paste out of the gutters. Fall is the visit that clears the wet leaf mat before it sags the runs under the first hard frost. Across New Jersey the spring and fall windows are the same for residential and commercial glass, and the storm and wind seasons can move the dates by a week or two in either direction.
On our jobs the film from spring builds up on glass faster than most people expect, and it packs the downspout elbows so water backs up the wall. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that causes trouble, and houses that skipped the visit show the sag by late winter, which can lead to water damage at the fascia. Clogged gutters that sit through a wet winter are the first to sag. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, and houses with sprinkler lines that spray the glass, tend to need a third visit, because the needles, grit and mineral spots come back between the two main cleanings. A house near a busy road or a construction site also picks up more film on the glass than a quiet street does, and that film often calls for cleaning solutions on top of plain water.
We see the difference between a house that was cleaned on schedule and one that was not. One customer with no trees over the house has us out once a year, in late fall, and that is enough for them. Another customer with big trees and a sprinkler line on the front windows is on three or four visits a year, and the glass stays clear between them. Windows inside are never part of these visits, so book them separately if that glass needs it. The one-visit schedule also works for multi-story buildings, and the quote rises with each story. You will know it is time for a visit when the windows look hazy only when the sun is low, and when water sheets over the edge of a gutter during a 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 cleaning services cover gutters and windows across Holiday City-Berkeley, and our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year when the leaves are heaviest. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of your house with your story count, and we will give you an estimate and a date. Unlike most window cleaners, we clear the gutters before the glass, and professional window cleaning for a house this size takes about a morning. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we will call you before we arrive so the crew knows the gate is open and the cars are off the driveway. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and the glass is the first thing a visitor sees. Our estimates cover every window on the outside of the house and the gutters together, including the sill on each pane, so you get one quote, one visit and one set of photos, and we book the slot that works around your schedule.
Yes, the same crew handles window and gutter cleaning in one visit, with the gutters and downspouts cleared first, so the runoff never lands on clean glass.
The cost for a two-story house depends on the story count and the size of the house, and we give the number by phone or text before we book. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will work it out with you.
Yes, it is worth cleaning the outside of the windows even if the inside is clean, because the outside takes the rain dust and sprinkler spotting here. A residential window picks up more than people expect, and the crew uses a pole and water to remove dirt from the frame and the glass. In the spring the film on the glass is the first thing most people notice.
Most of our Holiday City-Berkeley customers book in the spring and again in the fall. Across New Jersey, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November.
No. Gutters first, glass last is the order on every job. The gutters get cleared, flushed and hauled, and only then does the crew touch the windows, so the runoff never lands on clean glass.
Yes, screens, sills and tracks are part of the window cleaning for condos and houses alike, and we rinse the screens and wipe the sills at the same visit.
We clean the outside of the windows only on residential properties, and we do not do interior window cleaning or pressure washing on this visit. If you want the inside done, tell us and we will quote it separately.
No, 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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
