Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Jersey City jobs most customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when the window and gutter cleaning schedule usually fills up.
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, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Our window washing services and gutter work are quoted before we come, so there are no surprises on the invoice. Our window cleaning services are priced from the stories and window count, and the number we quote is the number we charge.
What moves a quote is what the crew finds on the day. Multi-story buildings and a steep roof both mean more time on the ladder. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes, which take more care than the standard double-hung. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the last item we see most often, and no cleaning removes it, which is why we flag it at the estimate. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed in the same visit, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
For a house with a lot of picture windows or a steady film of grime, the number is higher than for a small house with a few windows. Pricing for interior and exterior glass is quoted separately, so the number on the phone covers the outside only. Our crew cleans the outside of every window and the gutters in the same visit, and that is why we ask for a photo of the front of the house before we quote. Regular cleanings keep the job faster over time, because the grime does not build up between visits.
On our Jersey City jobs the most common surprise is a house that looks clean from the street and has a full gutter run once we get on the ladder. We send photos of each run before we leave, so you see what was there. If you want the exact number, send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will tell you what it comes to.

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 Jersey City customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall. Across New Jersey the spring visit window runs late May to June, and the first visit is usually after the spring seed and pollen drop finishes. The second is after the last leaves fall, before the first hard freeze, usually in November to early December. Weather sets that timing for residential and commercial buildings alike.
In the spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In the fall, clogged gutters are the usual problem: a wet leaf mat that holds water against the fascia. On houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen gutter runs sag under ice. Freeze risk is real here, so the fall visit is the one we push hardest.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Jersey City gets 50.4 inches of rain a year, and June, July and December are the wettest months, so clogged gutters cause the most trouble then. Runoff from a full gutter that spills over the edge is how water damage starts at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than the rest. On those jobs we plan three or four visits a year.
Windows tell you when they need cleaning: a haze you only see when the sun is low. A pollen film usually rinses off with plain water, and cleaning solutions only come out when grime has baked on. Windows inside the house collect dust too, but this schedule is for the outside glass. Gutters tell you too, when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running through the downspout. If you see either, it is time to book.
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 reach residential properties across the city, and we have professional window cleaning crews on the schedule through the busy months. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is, and we tell you the next open date when you call. When the spring and fall windows fill, the wait can stretch, so booking early helps.
We schedule service for each visit and call before we come, so nobody has to wait around. Our window cleaning services cover every window on the outside of the house, and the sill gets wiped with the rest of the glass. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our window cleaners work outside and do not come inside, and our curb appeal goes up with the gutters clear and the glass clean. If you have a question about the schedule, call (866) 435-6328 any time before the visit.
The same crew does both, which is the point of the bundle. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roofline does not end up on the clean windows.
The cost comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 with those and we will tell you the number before we come.
Yes, on most houses the outside is what carries the dirt here: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. A crew can remove dirt from the outside of a residential window in one pass, and the frame comes with it. The interior and exterior glass is a separate quote, so on a residential window this visit covers the outside only.
Residential properties in Jersey City usually book in the spring and the fall, so those are the busy months. Book early if you want a specific date.
The gutters and downspouts go first, so the dirty water runs off before anyone touches the glass. That order is the reason we do both in one visit.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job when we do the exterior windows. They are not billed as extras. If you live in one of the condos on your block, the exterior is handled the same way, but check with your association first about who owns the glass.
We clean the outside of the windows only on this visit, and windows inside the house are not part of it. Quotes for residential and commercial jobs are separate, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
