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 doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them separately. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book it in the spring and the fall, the two times a year when pollen and leaves build up fastest on a house.
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 gutter and window cleaning 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 we charge, and it comes from those figures plus a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Professional window cleaning on a Lacey house is quoted the same way, and our window cleaners set window washing prices from the same figures, from a single-level ranch to a three-story home. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo today, and we will give you a firm price for your house.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most people expect, and that is part of why the two jobs go in one visit. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely, and multi-story buildings are quoted by stories for the same reason. A high number of oversized panes adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down heavier and slower, and clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves hold water against the fascia. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone does not remove. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so they are not in the number. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a recent Lacey job, the quote came up because the house had a steep back roof, a full set of gutters packed from a season of leaves, and sixteen windows across two stories. We set the price from those three things on the phone, and the crew did the work at that number. For a house where we have not seen the roof or the back run yet, we ask for the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front before we quote, so the number is not a guess. Water damage that is already in the fascia or the siding is something we photograph and report, not something we price as part of the cleaning.
| 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 Lacey 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 the calendar. Two cleanings a year cover most homes, and our cleaning services follow the same two windows. Across New Jersey, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and our fall visit in Lacey lands in late October to November. Nor'easters across New Jersey can move both dates by a few weeks.
What we find at each visit follows the season. In the spring, the pollen film sits on the glass of every window that faces south, collects on the sill, and packs into the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall, the leaf load on the roof becomes a wet mat in the gutters, and those runs are the ones that sag under the first ice. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road or active construction usually needs a third visit, because the grime and the spots come back faster than twice a year allows.
Our crew can tell you which pattern your house follows. A customer with no trees over the roof and clean sprinkler lines may need only the fall visit, while a house under big trees with sprinkler spotting may be on every three or four months. A residential window that sits under a tree line is usually in the second group, and so are residential properties with heavy cover. The sign that the windows need it sooner is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, the first sign that clean windows have gone dull. The sign that the gutters need it sooner is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Those two signs are the ones we tell customers to watch for between visits. If you want to schedule service before the busy weeks, call early in the season.
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 works across Lacey and comes out to the neighborhoods nearest the job we are already on, so ask when you call. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm a date. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo, and tell us which day you have in mind. Our window cleaning services and washing services are booked on the same call as the gutters. Lead times run about as the schedule field shows, and when the calendar fills during the two busy windows of the year, the first open slots go to the customers who booked earliest. Our crew calls before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Residential homes are our main work here, and residential and commercial exteriors are quoted the same way, by stories and window count. We clean the outside of every window on the house, including the grime that builds up on sills and frames. Every visit includes the work to remove dirt from the frames and the sill, not just the glass. Our service covers the gutters and downspouts as well as the glass, and the runoff from a clogged run is one of the first things we check and clear. Our crew also takes on a limited number of condos and small multi-unit buildings, so if your property is one of those, say so on the call and we will tell you what we can book.
Yes. The same crew does both in one visit, and we run the gutters first and the glass last so the dirty water does not end up on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure in writing before we have those details.
On a Lacey house, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are what block the light, so the outside is usually the part that needs it. Picture windows show the haze most, so they are the first glass we check on the outside. Interior glass is a separate job we do not do on this visit.
Most of our Lacey customers book regular cleanings in the late spring, after the pollen drops, and again in the late fall, after the leaves come down. If you are unsure, the phone estimate will tell you which of those visits fits your house.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When a run is cleared, the grit and water come down the wall and across any window below it, so the glass is done after the gutters, not before.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior work, and they are not billed as extras.
Interior and exterior glass are priced as separate jobs, and this visit is exterior only. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing, and we will tell you if something on the outside needs a different service.
You do not need to be home. The crew brings its own water and cleaning solutions, so there is nothing to set out. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
