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 runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most customers book it in spring and fall, once the leaves have come down.
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 direct answer is simple: we price by stories and approximate window count, bundling both in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Cleaning the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer and more setup. Large panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down heavy with packed grit and leaves. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not something a cleaning removes, so we tell you that before we start.
On a Holmdel job, window washing and gutter work often go out together because the same ladder position covers both. Both the window cleaning services and the washing services are scoped on the same walk-around, so you know the cost of each piece before we arrive. Grime that has built up for years takes longer than a light seasonal film, and we price that honestly. Runoff from a clogged run is the usual reason the glass below it gets dirty first, which is why the gutters come first on every job. Before we quote, a photo of the front of the house and a count of stories is usually enough for us to give you a firm number, and most of the time we can also remove dirt from the lower glass in the same visit without a second trip. Condos and multi-unit buildings follow the same method, quoted per building. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will send your number.

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.
Across the houses we clean here, most customers book the window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in late spring and again in the fall, so one crew can do both in one visit. Across New Jersey, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and in Holmdel most customers schedule the fall visit for late October to November. We clean residential and commercial properties on the same schedule.
In the spring visit we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a paste of grit and catkin dust packed into the gutter elbows. That film is what makes the glass look hazy by May, and picture windows show it first. In the fall visit we find the wet leaf mat that holds water against the fascia, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sagged under the winter snow. Snow and ice months are the reason the fall date matters here.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more dust, and that dust shows on the sills. Purified water does most of the work here, and a mild cleaning solution goes on only where a film needs one. For those homes, regular cleanings every three to four months keep the glass and the gutters where they should be.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze only in low sun. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. Those are the two signs we look for first at every visit. Interior and exterior glass are booked as separate jobs, because this visit covers exterior glass only.
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 cleans gutters and windows across the cleaning services area that covers Holmdel and the homes around it. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm the price and a visit date. Lead time depends on the season, and the busy windows in spring and fall fill our calendar first, so the earlier you call, the better the slot.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our window cleaners work from outside and do not enter the house. If the house has clogged gutters, we will tell you when we arrive. For a multi-story house, the crew uses a boom or scissor lift where the ladder cannot reach safely. Professional window cleaning is what we do all year, so the same method covers a single-story bungalow and multi-story buildings alike.
Gutters that have been neglected can cause water damage to the fascia and the soffit, which is one reason we flag them at every visit. Curb appeal starts with clean windows and clear gutters, and we aim to leave both in better shape than we found them. If you have windows inside that also need attention, that is a separate job, and we will tell you so when we call.
Yes. We work on residential properties, and the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again.
The number comes from stories and approximate window count. Text a photo of the front of the house and a count of stories, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the number on the phone.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. We clean every window reachable from outside, and in our Holmdel jobs the outside glass is what looks hazy first.
Across New Jersey, the spring visit falls in late May to June. Holmdel customers most often schedule service for late October or November, when the leaves are heaviest.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. Gutter water and grit running down the wall would otherwise land on the freshly washed panes below.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are covered when they are reachable from outside. None of these are billed as extras.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, so the inside of any residential window stays as it is, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
