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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this across New Jersey, and most of our Mount Olive customers book the spring and fall visits to keep both on the same calendar.
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.
Our window cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. Window washing on its own is priced the same way, so the bundle is the cheaper route. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us your stories and window count and we will give you a figure before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A high count of window panes, or oversized picture windows, takes longer than a standard residential window. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before the downspouts run clear. Glass with years of grime on it takes more passes than glass kept up through regular cleanings. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no regular cleaning removes it. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Work on the interior and exterior of the house beyond the gutters and outside glass is quoted separately.
On one Mount Olive job, a two-story house with a large run of picture windows and gutters that had gone several seasons without clearing took a full morning. The quote moved because of the window count and the packed downspouts, and the washing services on that house were billed as quoted, with photos of every run sent before our crew left. If you send a photo of the front of the house by text, we can tell you what we expect to find, and we can give you the number before we book.

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 Mount Olive customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in late May or June and again in late October or November, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on our calendar. Across New Jersey, the spring and fall pattern is the same, and the same timing holds for residential and commercial glass alike. Most residential properties we see follow the same two-visit rhythm.
In spring we find pollen on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. The cleaning solutions we use on the glass are picked for the film on it, not for the calendar. In fall it is the wet leaf mat and the grit that washes off the roof with the rain, and the runoff carries it down onto the glass below. Storm and wind seasons, including the nor'easters that come through New Jersey, can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we set the visit when the calendar and the weather line up.
Some houses need a third visit. On multi-story buildings and houses with heavy tree cover, debris reaches the gutters faster, and clogged gutters overflow first. Mount Olive gets about 49.5 inches of precipitation a year, with June, July and September the wettest months, and that is when a clogged gutter turns into water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grit on the glass between visits. Our crew sees these on the first visit and tells you whether your house falls into that group.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the windows inside are a separate question that this visit does not cover. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a 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.
We provide cleaning services around Mount Olive as a whole, and our crew works through the town on a standard route. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with your number of stories. We give an estimate by phone or text, and the lead time for a slot is listed on your confirmation. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so booking early in those months keeps you on the schedule you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our crew is a small group of window cleaners who handle professional window cleaning from outside your home and do not come inside. Each visit is handled as a scheduled service, so you know who is coming and when. Condos get the same exterior-only visit, and each sill is wiped to remove dirt before we leave. The sill and frame of every window are wiped, and the goal is the same on every house: a clean finish on every window and a clear gutter, with photos sent before we leave. A clean outside on the whole house does more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
Yes. Our crew does both, and the same two people clean the gutters and downspouts along with the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the window count on residential properties like yours. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the figure before we book.
For a residential window, in a house or in condos, yes, because the outside takes the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those build up on the glass between visits regardless of how clean the inside is.
Most of our customers here book in late May or June and again in late October or November, which fits the pollen and leaf seasons.
No. We do gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters and downspouts is cleared before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, which helps remove dirt that would otherwise wash back onto the glass. Tracks are included in the visit, and none of these are billed as extras.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, and we do not clean the inside or do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
