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 onto clean panes. Doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips, and we price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this in spring and again in fall, and we work the same way on every 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 a combined visit in one trip costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The quote method is the same for a residential and commercial building. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the quote: a third story or a steep roof, large picture windows and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years, needles and leaves packed tight into the runs, guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning will remove. Multi-story buildings take longer to reach, so the story count matters most there. The price covers the water, the cleaning solutions and the tools, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
Getting an exact number is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows the house has, or text a photo of the front of the house. On most houses the window count is the number that moves the estimate most, and a quick look at the glass usually settles it. Our crew brings the same care to every window, from the ground floor to the upper stories.
| 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, most of our customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Our cleaning services usually run late May to June in spring and late October to November in fall.
In spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are the main things we find. In fall, it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs once the trees are bare. Nor'easters across New Jersey can move these dates by a few weeks, so we keep the calendar flexible.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof is one reason, because needles and grit leave clogged gutters and packed downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another, since the spots come back a day after cleaning. Overflow from clogged gutters left alone can end in water damage at the fascia. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime than most.
Most houses do well with two cleanings a year, and houses on regular cleanings stay ahead of the buildup. The sign that windows need attention is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in rain. If you see either one, call us and we will look.
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 handle residential properties, and every residential window on the house gets the same treatment. Our window cleaning services are done by the same crew that clears the gutters, so the professional window cleaning and the gutter work happen on one visit. We schedule service around the calendar so every window and every run gets its turn. A window and gutter cleaning visit starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar.
Lead time is listed on our booking page. Across New Jersey, the two busiest windows of the year are late May to June and late October to November, when the leaves come down, so our calendar fills fastest then and it helps to book early. Our washing services stay limited to the gutters and the exterior glass. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we arrive, and the crew works from the outside of the house only.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two-person crew doing both in one visit. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so runoff from the roof never lands on panes we have just finished.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Multi-story buildings are priced by their stories, so tell us the count up front, and send a photo of the front of the house so we can quote it from there.
Often yes, because the outside collects grit, rain dust and sprinkler spots between visits. Good curb appeal starts with clean glass, and cleaning indoors does not remove dirt that sits on the outside of the pane.
Across New Jersey most of our customers book in late May to June and again in late October to November, after the spring rush and once the leaves come down. Booking in those windows keeps the calendar open for your slot.
Not on our jobs. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, because the leaves, grit and black water from a cleared run come down the wall and across any window below it. Doing the glass first means washing it twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit as well, so nothing on the outside of the window is billed as an add-on. Condos get the same treatment, and the crew works from the outside of the building only.
Not on this visit. Any job that covers the interior and exterior glass is booked separately, and this one covers the exterior glass only.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked and the crew will take care of the rest.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
