Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Most of our Linden customers book this in the spring and fall, and we keep the same crew for both.
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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a steep roof or a third story, a large number of windows or oversized picture windows, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted before anyone can reach the run, 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.
On one Linden job, the quote went up because the house had two stories plus a dormer, a window count near the top of the range, and clogged gutters packed with wet leaves that had sat for two seasons. Once we were on the roof, the crew flushed each downspout until it ran clear and photographed every run before we left. The crew also checked every window from the outside, since that is part of professional window cleaning on a house this size. Left packed, gutters like that can send water down the wall and cause water damage. For a house like that, the number on the phone is the number on the invoice. Give us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will tell you what the job will cost before we book it.

|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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 Linden customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for this town. Across New Jersey, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run late October to November.
On the spring visit we see pollen film on the south-facing glass and needles in the gutters, and on the fall visit the leaf load is what we spend most of the time clearing. Nor'easters across New Jersey move the dates a little, so we schedule off what we see on the roof rather than the calendar. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction work all tend to need a third visit, because the grit and spots come back between cleanings. Left that way, clogged runs are where water damage starts.
For a house with few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough. Regular cleanings suit a house under big trees or with a sprinkler hitting the glass, and we see those customers every three to four months. After the first visit we tell you which of those your lot needs, and our cleaning services on a repeat visit start from the notes we kept on the last one.
Windows tell you they need cleaning when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. Gutters tell you when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running through 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 window cleaning services cover residential properties across Linden, including the outside of each residential window, and we help keep clean windows clean between visits with a regular schedule of service calls through the busy months. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we give you a date. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills first. Booking early is the easiest way to schedule service in those windows and get the slot you want, and we keep the same crew on the schedule for repeat visits so the washing services and gutter work stay consistent from one visit to the next.
We handle houses, townhouses and condos, and the crew checks the runoff path on each one so that nothing ends up pooling against the foundation. On multi-story buildings the crew needs a taller ladder setup, and that is priced in with the stories. Clean glass and clear gutters also do more for curb appeal than most people expect. We are here to remove dirt and grime from the glass and clear the gutters and downspouts, and the price covers both in one visit.
Yes, our crew does both. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. The prices here are for houses, townhouses and condos, so for a residential and commercial building, call (866) 435-6328 and we will say whether we can quote it.
The number comes from the stories, the window count and how much professional window cleaning the glass needs. Give us a call at (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote the job by phone.
Yes, the outside takes the most punishment here. Tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside glass, and picture windows show it first, so the inside can look clean while the view through it stays hazy.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, and the calendar fills first in both seasons. Those are the months when leaves and tree dust build up fastest, and that is when regular cleanings do the most good.
No, we do the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters go first, the grit and black water run down the wall and off the windows before anyone cleans the glass, so nothing dirty lands on clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and we tell you before we start if anything needs more work.
This visit covers the exterior glass only, and the glass is rinsed with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left on it to streak. Interior glass is not part of the price, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. 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. Our crew sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
