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 nothing dirty runs back down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this twice a year, in spring and fall, and they tell us the one visit is what keeps the schedule simple.
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.

On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add to the glass work, and picture windows take longer because the pane is large and hard to reach from the ground. Each run of gutters and downspouts that has not been opened in years, or is packed with needles and leaves, takes longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Ordinary washing will remove dirt, but it will not remove the mineral etching left by sprinkler spots, so that is a separate job. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our crew is in Millburn often enough that we see the same pattern on the glass each season. A window washing job on a house with a lot of runoff from the roof usually shows the grime collecting along the bottom of the frame. Washing services that skip the gutters tend to leave the downspouts full, and the water still finds its way to the wall. We clear the gutters and downspouts, then let the wall drain before we start on the glass, so the work holds up in the next rain. Condos with a shared roof line are priced after we see the access, since the crew has to reach every window and gutter run on that side.
When we want the exact number, we ask for the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house. We count every window on the outside, not just the ones on the front, and the goal is clean windows that stay clean through the next rain. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, or text the photo to that number and we will reply with a quote. We do not guess from the street.

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 regular cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and doing window and gutter cleaning on the same visit makes the schedule easier to keep.
In spring, the pollen is the first thing we see. A yellow film builds up on south-facing glass first, so a residential window on the south side usually needs the most attention. Grit paste packs into the gutters, especially at the downspout elbows. Cleaning solutions do little against that film by themselves, so we rinse the glass with purified water instead. In fall, the leaf load arrives all at once, and the wet leaf mat is what we find in the gutters when we open them. Nor'easters across New Jersey can move the dates, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed day on the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the picture windows leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames. On those properties we suggest a third visit so the cleanings stay on schedule instead of falling behind.
Windows tell you when they need a cleaning. You notice a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge during rain means the run is full and needs clearing.
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 book gutter and window cleaning services by phone or text. To schedule service, send us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you an estimate for the job. The lead time depends on our calendar, and it is shorter in the quiet months than in the two busy windows of the year, when the spring dust and leaves arrive and our schedule fills. If you need a slot in one of those windows, book early.
When the crew is booked and confirmed, we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside. We work with window cleaners on the outside of the house, and the same crew handles the gutters, so you are not waiting on two companies. We handle residential and commercial exteriors on the same schedule. Professional window cleaning is what we do on the exterior glass, and we keep the work tidy.
The houses we see most often have clogged gutters that have sat through a season or two, and the sign is water running over the edge in the rain. Left alone, clogged gutters lead to water damage on the fascia and the siding below. We also see curb appeal improve once the glass is clean, which is a common reason homeowners book the bundle. Our crew handles multi-story buildings as well, with the lift work planned in advance.
Yes. Our crew does the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. It is the same two people on the ladder, so you deal with one company.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure before anyone is scheduled.
On the residential properties we clean in Millburn, the outside collects pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Cleaning the outside keeps the glass clear where the weather hits it.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, after the spring season and after the leaves drop. Those are the two busy windows, so booking early keeps your slot.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall drain, and only then clean the glass, so nothing runs back onto clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. We wipe the sill on every window we clean.
We clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside the house, and interior and exterior deep cleaning is not part of this visit. We handle the outside of the windows and the gutters.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, 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.
