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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Hopatcong jobs, most customers book this in the spring and in the fall, and we tell you the exact figure before we arrive. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you that figure from your stories and window count.
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 the window and gutter job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. There is no separate figure for the outside of the glass versus the gutters beyond what the stories and window count set. Frames and sills get cleaning solutions only where a film needs it, and that is part of the same price.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are the same ones we see every time we pull up. On multi-story buildings, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and tall panes take more setup than standard sashes. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years are packed with needles, seeds and grit, and that takes time. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line etched into the glass is not removed by cleaning, so we flag it on the visit and quote the treatment separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Hopatcong jobs, one customer with a two-story house and a sprinkler line running into the front glass had both the gutters and the windows done in one visit, and the quote moved up because of the spotting, which we named on the phone before we came. That is how we handle it: you hear the number and the reason before work starts. For an exact number, send us a text with the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm it in writing before we book the date. The same measure applies to a residential and commercial property, so send the stories and window count either way.
| 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 Hopatcong customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Those are the two windows when the calendar of the house is most visible on the glass and in the gutters. Two cleanings a year is the usual pattern, and it is the one we plan the crew around.
In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters and elbows. In fall we find the wet leaf mat that sits in the channel and the grit that comes down with it, and that is what makes clogged gutters overflow in the first heavy rain. Storm and wind seasons move those dates a little, so we pick the date from what we see on the house, not from the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, so those customers are often on every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round white spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate look. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the outside glass than a quiet street does. From the pole we can remove dirt from the high glass without a ladder, but the mineral spots need a separate treatment. On our jobs we see these three cases most often, and we tell you which one applies after the first visit.
You will know the windows need it when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean outside glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most people expect.
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.
Booking with us starts with a text or a call at (866) 435-6328. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will come back with a quote and the earliest date on the calendar. Our typical lead time is a programmatic field we fill in from the schedule, and we confirm the date with you before the crew is dispatched. If you want to schedule service for a particular week, say so in the text.
We clean residential properties across Hopatcong, and the neighborhoods we have cleaned in are listed on the page. Whichever street you are on, the job is the same: gutters cleared and flushed, then every window on the outside done from the pole, with frames wiped and screens put back where they came out. Every residential window on the outside of the house is done in that same pass. Window and gutter cleaning is one visit, so you are not paying for two trips. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen drop and the leaf drop are heaviest. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early and schedule service before the calendar fills. Professional window cleaning is booked the same way in every season, with the date confirmed before the crew is dispatched. Outside those windows we usually have more room, and we can often fit a single visit on a date you choose. Either way, the crew arrives with the photos of past runs on the tablet, so you can see what your gutters looked like last time.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people doing both in one visit, which is what we mean by window and gutter cleaning on one booking. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back down onto the clean windows.
We do not give a price from the page. Our cleaning services are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and we give the number by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text before we book. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
On a Hopatcong house the outside carries the pollen film in spring, the rain dust, and the round spots from sprinklers, none of which the inside cleaning touches. Outside glass is where most of the haze you see comes from, and our window cleaning services start there. Runoff from clogged gutters is the other common source of streaks on the glass below.
Most of our Hopatcong customers book in the spring and in the fall, so those are the weeks the calendar fills. Book early for those windows and you will have more choice of date. Regular cleanings follow the same pattern, so ask for the next one before the crew leaves.
No, the order is what prevents it. Clogged gutters are cleared and the downspouts flushed first, the wall is given time to stop dripping, and only then do we start on the glass. Gutters that overflow for a whole season can also cause water damage at the fascia, which is why they are on the list first.
Screens are rinsed and put back, and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and we tell you on the phone if one is not.
Exterior only on this visit. Our washing services cover the outside glass, frames, screens and sills, and interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, so the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing, and we will tell you if something on the outside needs a different service.
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. If your home is one of the condos on a shared roof, check with the association first, because the gutter run may belong to the building.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
