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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of the homes we clean get booked in spring and fall, so the calendar fills around those months.
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.
Window washing and gutter cleaning are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and every window on the house counts, not just the ones on the front. Booking our washing services with gutters and downspouts in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work from that.
Several things move the quote, and the crew sees them on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a run of picture windows and a large number of oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, guards that have to be lifted and reseated, 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.
Across New Jersey the crews we send out find that the houses with the most runoff at the outlets are the ones where nobody has cleared the downspout elbows in a year or more. Those runs take longer and cost more to set right, which is why we would rather see the house twice a year than once after it has backed up. Condos and multi-unit buildings follow the same logic, scheduled per building, with each run and downspout photographed before we leave. If you want a written estimate, ask for one and we will send it before the date is booked.

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 here book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across New Jersey the pattern holds: the seasons set the schedule, not the other way round.
In spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass and the pollen paste sits in the gutters. In fall the leaf load comes down in a wet mat that blocks the outlets, and the winter storms that follow turn any blockage into ice. The crew matches the cleaning solutions to the film on the glass rather than scrubbing harder. Across New Jersey, nor'easters can move the dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar when we set the visit.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or a house near a busy road or a construction site. Regular cleanings on those houses keep the window and gutter work from building up between visits.
You will know a residential window needs it when you see haze that only shows when the sun is low, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. If either happens between visits, call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at the photo you send.
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.
We provide professional window cleaning services and gutter work to Madison and the towns around it, and our crew knows the houses here. To schedule service, start with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a date from there. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our calendar tends to fill in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months gets you a slot. We take residential and commercial jobs on the same booking line, and we aim to keep our window cleaners working on a steady schedule rather than rushing a house in one afternoon, which is why the work is done in order and photographed as it goes.
Multi-story buildings take more time on the ladders and the lifts, and houses with clogged gutters need the runs opened before the glass can be done safely. Left alone, clogged gutters cause water damage at the fascia and the sill, so we would rather clear them on schedule than repair the wall later.
Yes. The same crew does the gutters and the outside of the windows on residential properties in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front for a written estimate.
Yes. The outside carries the pollen, the rain dust, the grime and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and a regular visit is the only way to remove dirt from the frames and glass before it sets. That is most of what keeps curb appeal up.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall. Across New Jersey the calendar fills in those two windows.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, then wait a few minutes before we touch the glass, so the clean windows do not get splashed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only, so the interior and exterior glass are not covered by one price. We do not clean windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
