Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most homeowners we serve book this in spring and fall, once the seed drop and the leaf drop are done.
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 washing and gutter work by stories and approximate window count, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Doing both jobs in one visit is cheaper than booking washing services and gutter service separately, because the crew is already on the ladder.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach. Oversized panes and high window counts add time, and heavy grime on a pane takes longer to remove dirt from than a light film does. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, cost more to clear than a run that is cleaned twice a year. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not removed by cleaning alone. Flushing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Long Branch job, what usually decides the number is how many runs of gutters are carrying grime and runoff off a roof with a lot of surface, and how many panes sit under the drip line. Before we quote, send us a photo of the front of the house by text, and tell us the number of stories. That is enough for us to give you a firm price, and we do not change it once the crew arrives. Condos with shared gutter lines are quoted per building, so we look at the whole roofline before we give a number.
| 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 Long Branch customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen season and once in the fall after the leaves come down. One crew in one visit makes sense for both, since the ladder setup is the same.
In spring, pollen settles as a yellow film on south-facing glass and across picture windows, and as a paste in the downspout elbows. In fall, the leaf load packs the gutters and the wet mat holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we book from the calendar rather than the month. Houses under heavy tree cover need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses need the extra visit too. A house near a busy road or active construction also collects more grime and benefits from regular cleanings.
Two things tell you a visit is overdue. The first is haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low. The second is water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain, which means the run is full. Either one is a reason to call, and we will tell you on the phone whether the gutters or the glass is the problem.
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 clean residential and commercial buildings across Long Branch, and our residential properties range from single-family homes to condos. We answer for our window cleaning services from the first phone call through the finished job. Most jobs are booked a few days out. Call (866) 435-6328 and we give you a firm window on the spot. Text a photo of the roofline and the number of stories and we will tell you what the job needs.
We handle professional window cleaning on the exterior only: the glass, the frames, the screens and the sills. Frames and sills get cleaning solutions, not a rinse that leaves a drip line. Cleaning windows inside is not part of this visit. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not enter the house. We clean every window we can reach safely from the ladder or the pole. We have worked on multi-story buildings and on single-family homes with clogged gutters, and we see how the water runs when a roof has been neglected too long, which can lead to water damage at the fascia.
Our window cleaners work from a boom or scissor lift on taller buildings and from ladders on standard homes. Booking is simple, and a clean finish is the goal on every job, since that is what gives a house its curb appeal.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit. We do the gutters first so the runoff never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it from those details.
On a typical residential window, the outside carries most of the grime here: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Interior glass does not get that buildup, so the exterior is where a visit makes the biggest difference.
Most of our Long Branch customers book in the spring after the pollen drops and in the fall after the leaves come down. Across New Jersey the pattern is the same.
Not when we work in the right order. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts before we touch the glass, so the grit has already left the wall and your clean windows stay clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped with cleaning solutions as part of the job. Tracks are included in the standard visit, so you do not see them as a line item.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only, not the interior and exterior of the house as one job. We do not do interior cleaning or pressure washing on it.
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 unlock the side gate. Schedule service with us and we will confirm the window.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
