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 the runoff never lands on 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 book us in the spring and the fall, when pollen and leaves build up the most.
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 bundling window and gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Quote details and the starting point for each house size come from that first call, once we know the stories and the window count.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely, and multi-story buildings are priced on that basis. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more flushing of the gutters and downspouts. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a mineral treatment that cleaning alone will not remove, and we flag it before we start. Cleaning solutions are rinsed off the sills and frames before the crew leaves. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
A house with three stories, a steep front roof, or a long run of gutters that has not been opened in years is quoted higher, and the number is set from the phone call. Once we have the stories and window count from the phone call, the number holds on the day. Gutters and windows on a house like that are worth doing together, because the crew is already set up on the ladder and the spatter from the gutters is cleaned off the glass in the same pass. If you send a photo of the front of the house by text, we can give you the exact number before we come out, not a rough guess.
| 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 Manalapan customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In the spring the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and sticky residue packs the downspout elbows. In the fall the leaf load comes down in a wet mat that blocks the gutters, and houses with clogged gutters that skip that visit tend to show sagging runs and water damage by the next winter.
Heavy tree cover over the roof is the main reason a house moves to a third or fourth visit a year, because needles and grit keep packing the downspouts between regular cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is the other common reason, since the spots it leaves come back a day after a cleaning. A house near a busy road or an active construction site also collects more grime on the glass and sends more debris into the gutters, and we see those houses on a shorter schedule too. On our jobs, the house with few or no trees usually does fine with a single late-fall visit.
Two signs tell you it is time. Windows need cleaning when a haze shows up only when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. Clean windows and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal. If you are not sure which of those applies to your house, we will look at it on the first visit and tell you what it needs, without a sales pitch.
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 has worked across Manalapan, and the first step is a short estimate by phone or text. Our crew works on residential properties, and we take residential and commercial jobs as well. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we can give you a quote for the window and gutter cleaning together. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the first open date. The two busiest windows of the year line up with the spring bloom and the leaf fall, when our calendar fills fastest, so booking early in those months gets you a slot sooner.
We call before we come, and the crew checks in again when they are on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, because the crew does not come inside. Our work covers the exterior of the house, including the gutters and downspouts and the outside of every window. A residential window or a row of picture windows on the second floor is cleaned from the ground or from a boom or scissor lift, depending on the height. Each sill is wiped as part of the job, so the glass and the frame come out even. Professional window cleaning on the exterior is the same job whether it is one pane or a full house. Condos and multi-story buildings are scheduled the same way, once we know the stories and the window count. If you want a second visit scheduled for the next season, we can set that up when the first one is done.
Yes. Our washing services cover the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and the same two people do both. They do the gutters first, which keeps the runoff off the clean glass.
We do not quote a figure here, because the number depends on 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 give you the number for your home.
Usually yes, because the outside collects dust, tree film and any sprinkler spots that show through the glass. Those are the parts that dull the windows from the street, and our crew rinses the frame to remove dirt as part of the job.
Across New Jersey, the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the spring bloom, and the fall visit falls in late October to November, after the leaves fall. Those are the months to plan for.
No, because we clear the gutters first and let the wall drain before we touch the glass. Running the job in the other order means washing the windows twice.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job. None of them is billed as an extra.
We do not clean windows inside the house, so interior and exterior glass are never mixed into one price. Pressure washing is not part of this visit either. The exterior glass is the work we 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 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.
