Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and downspouts and the outside of your windows in a single visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this bundle in spring and fall, when pollen, leaves and rain have built up the most on the 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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Flushing is how we remove dirt from the downspouts before the crew moves on.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote more than anything else. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Window count, oversized panes and picture windows add time, and so do gutters nobody has opened in years, which come down packed with grime. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are priced on the day you call. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, since no cleaning removes it, and we say so before we quote. Clogged gutters that have sat through a full season send runoff over the edge and onto the siding, and that is the most common reason a first quote comes in higher than expected. Multi-story buildings carry a higher quote per window for the same reason. Fixing the source of water damage is outside this visit, but the crew photographs any sign of it and reports it to you.
Window washing on our crews is done from a water-fed pole with purified water, so the glass dries clean without a squeegee. Professional window cleaning on this visit means the exterior of every window we can reach, plus the frames and sills. Window cleaners who only do the glass often miss the curb appeal that comes from clean frames, so we do both. Our window cleaners finish the glass before the crew moves on, and the finished glass is photographed before anyone leaves.
To get the exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and about how many windows you have. A photo of the front is enough for most houses, and if a side of the house is hard to reach, mention it in the same message. One customer on a two-story house with trees over the roof had a quote that was higher than a neighbor's because the gutters had not been cleared in two seasons. Once they were cleared, the glass went fast. The quote we gave matched the invoice.
| 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 in Livingston book two cleanings a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Each one covers both jobs in one visit, which is why one crew makes sense for the outside of a house. Across New Jersey the pattern is the same: the spring visit comes after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit comes after the leaves come down and before the first hard freeze.
What we find at each visit follows the calendar, and our cleaning services are booked around it. In the spring, a dusty film sits on south-facing glass and sticky grit packs the gutters and downspout elbows. In the fall, the leaf load is the main job, and the wet leaf mat is what we clear before the freezes and snow start. Nor'easters and wind seasons move the dates, so we book around the storms rather than the calendar when we can.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits a residential window leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site takes on dust faster than most, so the glass needs a closer look. These cases are on three or four visits a year, and we set the schedule from the first visit. Few or no trees, and no sprinkler on the glass, usually means once a year in late fall is enough. Regular cleanings at that pace keep the house clean.
Windows tell you they need cleaning when a haze shows up that you only see when the sun is low. Gutters tell you they need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into 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 crews have cleaned the gutters and windows of houses across Livingston, and we work the city as a whole rather than one street at a time. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories. From that we can usually give a firm slot, and the typical lead time is listed on our booking page. In the two busy windows of the year, when the leaves are heaviest, the calendar fills first, so calling early in those months helps.
We call before we come, and the crew confirms the arrival window the day before. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside. Our window cleaning services cover residential properties and small commercial buildings, and we serve residential and commercial clients alike. We also clean the windows of condos and multi-unit buildings where the outside is shared. Our crew handles washing services for a whole building as well as for one house, and the clean windows and gutters are checked on the way out. We bring the water and the power, so you do not need to supply either.
Yes. Our crew does both on one visit, and the same two people go up the ladder for the gutters and then do the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. Text us a photo of the front and the story count and we will tell you the number.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of what collects on glass here: rain dust and sprinkler spots. Inside glass tends to be the cleaner side when we arrive.
Most of our customers here book in late May or June for the spring visit and in late October or November for the fall visit. Across New Jersey the timing follows the same pattern.
No. We do gutters first and glass last, so the water and debris from the gutters run off before anyone touches the windows. If the glass was washed first, the dirty water would come down the wall and across it, and then someone would have to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and cleaning solutions go on the frames and sills only where they are needed. Tracks are cleaned on request and are included in the same visit.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the glass only, since the interior and exterior of a window are two separate jobs. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. We can tell you who handles those if you need them.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
