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 both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Martinsville customers book it for the spring and fall, which is when the pollen and the 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.
Gutter and window cleaning is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the same way for residential and commercial glass. Many window cleaners quote the glass alone, but the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job rather than extras.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs mean more time on the ladder, and oversized picture windows take more setup. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is something no cleaning solutions remove, so we flag it on the visit.
Here is how to get an exact number. Text us a photo of the front of the house, tell us the number of stories, and give us a rough count of the windows, then we confirm the figure before anyone is booked. We quote exterior glass only, so a request for interior and exterior glass is a separate job, priced on its own. For a regular cleanings schedule on a house with a lot of glass, we can set the interval on the first call so you know what to expect each season.
| 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 Martinsville customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop and once in the fall after the leaves come down, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on that calendar. Across New Jersey the pattern holds for most houses, with spring and fall as the two windows that matter.
At each visit we find a few things again and again. In spring the pollen lays a yellow film on south-facing glass and turns to paste in the gutters and downspouts, and the elbows are the first place it packs. In fall the leaf load is heavier and wetter, and on houses that skipped the autumn visit we see runs that sagged under the weight by the next winter, which is how water damage starts at the eave. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we book from what the house needs rather than from the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit, and we can tell from the first walk around. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit lead to clogged gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, which is a sign the fix is the sprinkler, not another wash. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a grime film faster than the average. Window cleaning services scheduled to the house rather than to the calendar are what keep those jobs on track.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down 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 cleans the window and gutter cleaning jobs across Martinsville, and the easiest way to find out whether we can reach your street is to call. Booking works in three steps: to schedule service, you get an estimate by phone or text using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, we confirm a date, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
Professional window cleaning on a residential window job or on residential properties runs the same way, from one estimate to one invoice that matches the number quoted. The busy windows are the two seasons when pollen and leaves are heaviest, and our calendar fills up in those weeks, so booking early in those months gives you the slot you want. Outside those windows lead times are shorter.
On each visit the crew checks every window and every gutter run, then reports anything it finds on the glass or the sill. If a screen or a sill needs more than a wipe, we say so before we start, not after. The point is curb appeal: clean windows and clear gutters, with the photos to show you the work.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing them together means one setup per side of the house and no second trip.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, works the same for condos as for a single house, and we give it by phone or text before anything is booked. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for a written estimate.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those build up before the inside gets dirty. Clean windows on the outside are the part that changes how the house looks from the street.
Most of our customers here book in the spring after the pollen drop and in the fall after the leaves, and across New Jersey that is the pattern too. If your house has heavy tree cover, ask us about a third visit.
No, that is why we clear the gutters and downspouts first and do the glass last. When a run is cleared, the grit and the black runoff come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job, and we tell you before we start if a screen needs more than a rinse.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside stay as they are. Pressure washing and other washing services are not part of this visit and are quoted separately if you ask.
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. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
