The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here in Manchester, gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the roof never lands on clean panes. We price the bundle by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Manchester jobs most customers book this twice a year, in spring and again in the fall.
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.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a number from the stories and the approximate window count. Our washing services are quoted from those two numbers, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window washing separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs the quote moves for a handful of reasons the crew sees on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings take the boom lift for the upper runs. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows that need the boom or scissor lift. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer than a light run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain 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 most common reason a window-washing quote jumps is that the glass was never cleaned on the outside before, so the first visit carries more grime than a regular cleaning would. Our Manchester customers who keep up with regular cleanings pay less over the year than those who wait until the glass is hazy. Our window cleaning services cover the outside of every residential window, and if you want the interior and exterior done together, say so on the call so we can quote it separately. Ask us for the exact number and we will tell you what we would charge for that house, with the stories and window count already in it.
| 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.
Across New Jersey the spring visit usually lands in late May or June, and on our Manchester jobs most customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in late October or November after the leaves are down. Our calendar handles residential and commercial jobs alike, and the spring and fall windows follow the same pattern, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass, and the sticky paste packs the gutters and the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that matters, and on houses that skipped the autumn visit we see gutter runs that sagged under ice by March. Storms and wind seasons, including the nor'easters that move through the state, can shift the timing a few weeks in either direction.
Homes under heavy tree cover need a third visit. Needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters can back water up behind the fascia, which is how water damage starts. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects a fine film that builds up quickly. The crew uses mild cleaning solutions to remove dirt that plain water leaves behind on that film. Those are the cases where we suggest a third visit based on what we see.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain.
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 cleaning services reach across Manchester and run from one shared calendar, so booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, tell us the number of stories, and we will confirm a slot. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so you know when to expect us.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and that is when our calendar fills fastest. Booking early in those months gets you a slot that suits your schedule. We keep the scope tight on residential properties, outside gutters and outside glass, and the professional window cleaning is done from the same setup. We bring the boom or scissor lift for the taller runs and picture windows so every window gets done from the same visit.
Our crew works with clients who depend on curb appeal and clean glass, and we schedule service so the house looks right when it matters. We treat every window the same way, and each sill gets wiped before we pack up.
Yes. The same two people clear the gutters and downspouts first, then clean the outside of the windows in one visit. Doing it in that order keeps the runoff off the clean panes.
We give you the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and a photo of the front, and we will quote the job before anyone comes out.
Usually yes on our Manchester jobs, because the outside carries the spring dust, the rain dust and the sprinkler spotting that build up on every residential window between visits. The inside can stay as it is; the outside is what the weather works on.
Most of our Manchester customers book in late spring and again in the fall. Across New Jersey the spring and fall windows are the same, so those are the months to call.
Not with our order of work. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass, so nothing runs down onto panes we have already done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed separately. Tracks are included in the visit as well. Condos get the same treatment when the windows can be reached from the outside.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing here. Windows inside are a separate booking, so tell us and we will schedule that on its own.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
