Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works across New Jersey in the spring and fall, and most of our Lyndhurst customers book the same way.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window cleaning services come as one quote with the work on the gutters and downspouts, so there is no second line to argue about. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us your stories and roughly how many windows when you call at (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it adds time. So does a lot of window count, oversized panes and picture windows, which take more handling. Heavy grime on the glass adds a second pass to remove dirt the first pass leaves behind. Our washing services are priced on the stories and window count above, so the same count gives the same number. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned underneath. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another matter: it sits in the glass and cleaning will not remove it, so we name it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The quote covers exterior glass only, so if you also want interior and exterior cleaning done, we price that as a separate job when you call.
On a recent Lyndhurst house, the quote came down to a few things we could see from the driveway: the stories, the number of large panes on the back, and how packed the back gutters were. A photo of the front of your house and a rough count of windows is usually enough for us to give you a firm number before we book. Ask for a written estimate on your window washing and the gutters, and we will put it in writing before the crew is scheduled. The photo and count from your first call usually carry over to later cleanings, so a return visit is quoted the same way.

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.
Across New Jersey, most of our customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and in fall, and one crew in one visit is the simplest way to do both on that calendar. Customers who book regular cleanings keep the same two dates each year. On our Lyndhurst jobs, the spring visit lands after the seed and pollen drop finishes, and the fall visit lands once the leaves are down.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In the spring, pollen forms a film on south-facing glass and a paste in the gutters, and the downspout elbows pack with seeds. In the fall, it is the wet leaf mat that blocks the runs and leaves clogged gutters that hold water against the fascia until the first hard rain. Left that way, standing water can lead to water damage at the fascia and soffit. Clogged gutters also let runoff spill over the edge onto the fascia, so the crew clears the gutters and downspouts before any glass is touched. Frames get mild cleaning solutions, and the glass gets purified water. Windy or storm-heavy periods, which come with nor'easters across the state, can move the dates a little, and we call before we come when a visit shifts.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. 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. A house near a busy road or construction collects more dust on the frame and sill. Multi-story buildings need more time on the ladder, which is why a tall job can run a full day. Those are the cases where the calendar gets tighter, and we say so after the first visit. A film you see on the windows inside the house is not something an exterior visit clears.
You can tell windows need the work when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low. You can tell gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in 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 crew works throughout Lyndhurst as a whole, and we have cleaned houses across the town for both gutters and exterior glass. We are window cleaners who also clear gutters, so one crew handles both on the same visit. Booking runs by phone or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we come back with a quote and an open date. Our calendar is most in demand in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, so the earlier you call, the better your chance at the date you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We can schedule service for both jobs on one day, and we call before we come.
We are set up for residential and commercial work, so the same crew handles the professional window cleaning for a storefront or a multi-story building as readily as a single house. Our cleaning services cover residential properties and condos as well, and each residential window is done from the outside with the sill wiped. Clean glass and gutters do a lot for curb appeal, which is why many owners book both at once. Whatever the property, we keep to the schedule you book. If something is still unclear on the date or the quote, call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through it with you.
Yes. It is the same crew, and gutters and downspouts are done first and the glass after, so the runoff does not end up on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the house front and we will quote it.
The outside of the glass collects road film, dust and sprinkler spots whether or not the inside is clean. Our crew uses purified water to remove dirt from the outside of each pane, and the frames and sills come with it.
In New Jersey, spring visits run late May to June, and fall visits run November to early December. Calling early gives you the widest choice of dates, since the calendar tightens in those two stretches.
No. We clear the gutters first, flush the downspouts, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. That order keeps the water off the windows we just cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped on each residential window as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side of the window.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on it. We do not quote interior and exterior glass as one job, so if you want the inside done, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what we can do.
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 ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
