Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New Jersey, our crews have cleaned gutters and exterior glass through every spring and fall, and most of our Lincoln Park customers book exactly that pairing.
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 window and gutter cleaning by stories and approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. We quote residential and commercial jobs the same way. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and the cleaning solutions for the glass are included in it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What we see on the day that moves the quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew works off a boom or scissor lift, a window count that includes oversized panes and picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Each of these changes the time on the job, which is why we look at the house before we confirm the number.
On our Lincoln Park jobs, the quotes that surprise customers are almost always the ones where the gutters were never cleaned between visits. A run that has been left through a full season of pollen paste and leaves takes longer than one cleaned twice a year, and that is worth knowing before you book. Our interior and exterior window work follows the same rule: outside glass only on this visit, and the price covers every reachable pane.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows face the street and the yard. For regular cleanings of the same house we set the next visit in the same call, so the second booking costs you no extra thought.
| 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 Lincoln Park customers book both jobs twice a year. Across New Jersey the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed drop, and the fall visit in late October to November, after the last leaves come down. One crew doing both in one visit makes sense on that calendar.
In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a sticky seed paste packed into the gutters and downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that has sat on the roof since the trees dropped, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen clogged gutters sag under the first ice. A run that overflows in a storm can send water behind the fascia, and that is the route to water damage we check for first. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, but the two visits hold their shape from year to year on the houses we keep on schedule.
Some houses need a third visit, and we tell customers which kind they are after the first job. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded with needles and grit between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. On multi-story buildings close to a busy road or active construction, a fine dust shows on the sills within weeks. Our cleaning services schedule adjusts for each of these, and the window cleaners on the crew check the same things at every visit. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit.
A customer with no trees over the house and a sprinkler system aimed away from the glass is usually on the twice-a-year plan without changes. We see a different pattern on houses under mature trees, where the crew is back every three to four months to keep the gutters running clear. Professional window cleaning is the same job either way; the difference is how often the gutters need the flush.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Since the street sees the outside of the house first, that glass carries most of the curb appeal.
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 has cleaned gutters and exterior windows across Lincoln Park, and we keep the schedule open for window and gutter cleaning in the same neighborhoods through the busy spring and fall windows. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm the estimate and the next open date.
Lead time varies with the season and is listed on the booking page for the current month. In the two busy windows of the year, when the spring seed drop and the fall leaves are heaviest, our calendar fills first, so we suggest booking as soon as you know the month you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crews handle residential properties and commercial buildings on the same schedule, and each residential window job is priced the same way, by stories and count, so you know the number before we arrive. We clean the glass on every window reachable from the outside, and we tell you about any window we cannot reach safely so nothing is left a surprise after the invoice. Schedule service with us once and we will set the next visit while we are on site, which keeps clean windows and clear gutters on the same rhythm for the whole year.
If your house is one we cannot reach from the ground or with the lift on site, we say so on the call. We would rather tell you that up front than send a crew to a job we cannot finish, and the photo you send with the estimate request is how we check.
Yes. The same two people handle the gutters and the glass in one visit, and our washing services for the glass follow the gutter work, with gutters and downspouts first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front and the count, and we confirm the figure before the visit.
Yes, for most houses. Outside grime builds up from rain dust, sprinkler spotting and seed film that the windows inside never see, and the street sees it first, so the glass drags down the curb appeal even when the rooms are clean.
Across New Jersey, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. Our calendar fills first in those two windows, so book as soon as you know the month.
No. Gutters go first, so the leaves, grit and black water come down before any pane is washed, and the glass is the last thing we touch.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, which is how we remove dirt from the frame before it runs onto the glass. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
Exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the interior of windows or do pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home, and condos get the same service as houses; tell us about any building entry rule when you book. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while 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.
