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. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this in the spring and the fall, and we work the same way on every house we clean. To get a number, call (866) 435-6328 with 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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and when both are done in one visit the window and gutter bundle costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so call (866) 435-6328 or text us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure before anyone is scheduled.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means more time on the lift. Large picture windows change the work at every stop, and a large count of windows adds time at each one. Gutters nobody has opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate question because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
The crew rinses with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and a stain that needs a stronger product is quoted separately. Quotes cover exterior work only, so interior and exterior glass are never bundled into one number. The same questions apply to a residential and commercial property, since the stories and the window count drive the time either way.
On a typical visit we clear the gutter, flush each downspout until it runs clear, rinse the exterior glass with purified water and wipe the sills, then haul the debris away. Regular cleanings keep the job quicker, since a run that is cleared twice a year takes less time than one left alone for three seasons. Houses with heavy tree cover tend to need more frequent cleanings than open lots, and the photos we send after each visit show exactly how the gutters and the glass came out.
For one Kendall Park job, the quote moved because of the tree cover over the back roof and the number of stories, and the crew adjusted the visit to match. That is the kind of detail we check before we give a number, and the same questions apply to your house. Describe the front of the house, count the stories and the windows, and text us a photo if you can. We will tell you what the crew expects to find before a truck is sent out.
| 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 Kendall Park customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across New Jersey, the first visit usually falls in late May or June, once the spring seed and pollen drop has finished, and the second in late October or November, after the leaves come down and before the first hard freeze. Scheduling for cleaning services follows the same calendar, and the dates shift a little with storm and wind seasons.
In late spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters, and the downspout elbows are often full of seeds. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that causes trouble, and on houses that skipped the fall visit, clogged gutters sagged under the weight of the ice by the next winter, and the water damage that followed cost far more than a visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and those houses often need a third visit.
A third visit is the usual answer for three kinds of house as we see them: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, and a house near a busy road or a construction site. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass run into the same limit, since the lift time adds up on every floor. Those are the jobs where the glass and the gutters both pick up more debris than the calendar alone can handle. We would rather tell you that now than have you find it in the spring.
One customer with no trees near the house books twice a year and has not needed anything more. Another customer with trees over the roof and a sprinkler spotting problem books three or four visits a year, and their gutters stay clear because of it. Some window cleaners only come once a year, but professional window cleaning on a set schedule keeps the glass from building up between visits. The difference is what the house is standing under, not a rule we apply to every street.
The sign that windows need cleaning is the haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of running through the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters also protect curb appeal, and the difference shows most in the spring.
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.
We have cleaned gutters and exterior windows across Kendall Park, and our crew knows how the houses here sit on their lots. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead times vary with the season, and the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, are when our calendar fills fastest, so a call early in those months gets a date sooner.
When your slot comes up, we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside. We use the same process for every window and every gutter on the house, and each sill is wiped as the crew moves along. Clean windows and clear gutters are both finished on the same visit, so nothing is left for a second trip, and the photos come to your phone before the truck leaves.
Our main work is residential properties, and the residential window and gutter cleaning is planned around the house rather than a standard route. If you have a question about a particular roofline or a set of windows, send a photo and we will tell you what we expect to find before the visit.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, which is why we do both together. Gutters are done first and the glass last, so the dirty water does not land on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before anything is booked. We do not quote it from a list, since washing services on each house are priced from the house itself.
Usually yes on our Kendall Park jobs, because the outside collects pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. A cleaning on the outside is the only way to remove dirt that the rain leaves on the glass, and window cleaning services for the outside pay off between visits.
Across New Jersey, the spring visit usually falls in late May or June and the fall visit in late October or November, and the dates move a little with the season. Condos with the same gutters and glass follow that same calendar.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves, the grit and the black runoff are cleared and the downspouts flushed before anyone touches the windows. The water that sits on the wall afterward has time to stop dripping before the glass is done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Grime on the tracks is cleaned as part of the exterior window work on the same visit.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only, and windows inside the house are not part of the job. We also 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 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.
