Yes, the same two people clean the 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 together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this service in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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. Booking window cleaners and a gutter crew on separate days costs more than one visit, so the bundle is the cheaper route. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Professional window cleaning priced this way keeps the curb appeal up without a second trip.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk safely, oversized panes and a high window count, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our crew uses window washing methods with purified water, so the glass dries clean without a towel, and we flow-test each downspout so you know the water leaves the house. The same stories-and-windows pricing applies to multi-story buildings. Interior glass is not part of the price, so the windows inside the house are a separate job, and we say so when you book.
Most homeowners do not know which of these apply until the crew is on the ladder, so we ask for a photo of the front of the house when you book. Send the stories count and the photo by text and we will tell you what to expect before anyone comes out. Across New Jersey, the houses we see with clogged gutters and water damage on the siding usually have the same root cause: a run nobody opened for years. Getting the exact number starts with those three facts, and we will confirm them before the visit.
| 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 customers book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on each pass. Across New Jersey, the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and the fall visit in late October to November. Our cleaning services run on those two windows, so you can schedule service for either one as soon as the calendar opens.
In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass, and it shows on every window on that side, along with pollen paste packed in the gutter elbows and a dusty sill under each pane. In fall the leaf load is the main problem, and wet leaves in the downspouts can hold water against the fascia. Across New Jersey, storm seasons, including nor'easters, can move the dates, so we check the calendar with you when you book.
Some residential properties need more than the two cleanings a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a residential window facing a busy road or construction picks up more grime than usual. We will tell you after the first visit which of those applies.
You will know the windows need attention when haze shows up that you only see when the sun is low. Clean windows should look clear at any hour, not only at that angle. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 Lakewood and the surrounding area, and the booking process is the same everywhere. You get an estimate by phone or text once we have the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar, and in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, our slots fill first. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 ahead and we will confirm the date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works from the outside only. Gutter and window cleaning services for residential and commercial properties, including condos and small multi-story buildings, follow the same steps. The crew cleans the outside of each pane to remove dirt and grime, and checks the sill and frame so nothing is left behind. Gutters and downspouts are cleared on the same pass, so runoff from the roof leaves clear. Our window cleaning services are scheduled per visit, and our washing services cover every window on the house on the same date.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the outside of the windows second, so the glass is not dirtied again by runoff. The same order applies to residential and commercial buildings.
We do not give a figure from the web. The number comes from stories and window count, and you get it by phone or text before we book.
Usually the outside carries the most of what we see here: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Interior and exterior glass are two different jobs for us, and this visit covers the exterior only.
Most of our customers book regular cleanings in spring and in fall. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm the dates that fit your calendar.
No, we clean gutters first and glass last. The leaves and black water come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the windows are done after the gutters are finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Picture windows get the same outside cleaning as every other pane. Tracks are included in the exterior work where they can be reached from outside.
We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing on this visit. Exterior glass only, done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and we say so on the estimate.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. Text a photo of the roofline if you want us to check before we come.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
