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 jobs together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book it for the spring and fall visits, when spring bloom and leaves are heaviest on the house.
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 the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we will confirm it before the crew arrives. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work from that.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Oversized panes, picture windows and a high window count add to the glass, though every residential window on the house gets the same scrub. Gutters that have not been opened 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 sprinklers is not something cleaning removes, and we will tell you so on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how we measure a house so the number is accurate. Tell us the stories, give us a rough window count, and send a photo of the front of the house. Professional window cleaning on residential properties with curb appeal in mind looks different from a quick rinse, and the same goes for clogged gutters that have been running water over the edge for a season. Multi-story buildings and older homes can hide water damage behind the gutter line, and the crew photographs anything it sees before it leaves. Window washing and window cleaners quote the same way: by what is on the house, not by a guess from the street.
| 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 customers in Monroe book two cleanings a year, both jobs in one visit, which is why one crew makes sense. To schedule service, book the spring visit after the bloom season and the fall visit after the leaves come down. Across New Jersey, the spring and fall pattern holds, and the dates move with storm and wind seasons.
In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and bloom residue packed into the gutters and elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged under the weight by winter. A house under heavy tree cover needs more attention, and every residential window under the canopy picks up needles and grit between visits. Some homes need a third visit when a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or when the house sits close to a busy road or active construction.
The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If you are unsure, send us a photo and we will tell you which visit your house needs.
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.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text us to book. Give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will reply with a window and a date. Lead time depends on the season, and the busy windows of the year are the spring bloom season and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills first. Book early in those months if you want a specific day.
Our crew handles window cleaning services, plus gutter and downspout washing services, for residential and commercial properties, and the work is the same whether it is a single family house or a row of units. We clean every window on the exterior, the sill and frame included, and clean windows make a visible difference on the street side of the house, where grime from a season of rain shows first. Gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same visit, and the runoff from them is what we check first when a house has water issues after a rain. Our crew does not try to remove dirt from the inside; we work outside only and say so up front.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Condos and townhouse blocks often share a gutter line, and we will quote those the same way we quote a single house.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first. We do both because the water from one job lands on the other.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front and tell us the window count, and we will confirm the figure before we book.
On our Monroe jobs, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so regular cleanings of the outside matter more than most owners expect. Cleaning the inside alone leaves the film on the glass that you see in low sun.
Across New Jersey, the spring visit falls in late May to June, after the bloom has passed, and our Monroe customers usually book the fall visit for late October to November, after the leaves come down.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, so they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the visit, and the cleaning solutions for frames and sills are part of the price as well.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so this is not an interior and exterior job. We do not clean windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing, so the crew will not bring that equipment.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
