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 together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Neptune City jobs most customers book it for spring and fall, which is when the pollen, the leaves and the winter grime pile up on the glass and in the gutters. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The cleaning solutions for the glass are part of that number. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we do not add anything once the crew is on the ladder.
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. A high count of windows, or oversized picture windows that need the boom or scissor lift, adds time. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is a different job, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We price interior and exterior glass as separate jobs, and this quote covers exterior glass only.
On our Neptune City jobs the quotes that come in highest are the ones where the house has been left a long time, with the residential and commercial properties on the same street varying just as much in how they have been kept. Customers who book regular cleanings with us start from the first quote, changed only if the house has changed. The easiest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough window count. Or call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through it, then tell you what the bundle comes to before we book the date.

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 Neptune City book both twice a year, in late spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across New Jersey, the spring visit runs late May to June, and the pollen and seed drop of spring is the load that matters most for both gutters and glass. In Neptune City the fall visit usually lands in November to early December, when the leaves are down in the runs. A clean front of glass also matters for curb appeal, most in the seasons when people look at the house.
In the spring visit we find a dusty film on the south-facing glass and a thick paste packed into the gutter elbows. In the fall visit it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs. Across New Jersey, nor'easters come through in the cooler months and can move the dates a little, but the two visits stay anchored to the seasons.
Some houses need a third visit, and we say so after the first one. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, so those customers are on the schedule more often. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film of grime faster than the others. Clogged gutters that back up in a rain can also cause water damage at the fascia, so we look at each house once and tell you which of those applies.
You will see when the windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low in the sky. You will see when the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign is a good reason to call before the next scheduled visit rather than waiting it out. Neptune City's wettest months are August, October and December, so the runoff is heaviest then. Rain alone will not remove dirt from the glass, so the goal is clean windows and not just a wet pane.
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 clean houses across Neptune City, and the booking for our cleaning services starts with a short estimate by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front and we will give you the price and the first open date. Call (866) 435-6328 if that is easier. Most slots come up within the lead time we list on the booking page, and the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, are when our calendar fills first, so it helps to call early.
We do residential window and gutter cleaning for homeowners, and for residential properties on the same street, and we do the exterior of commercial buildings as well. Professional window cleaning on a commercial building is quoted from its stories and window count, the same way as a house. The number of stories also sets the access on multi-story buildings, which is why we ask first. Some window cleaners stop at the glass, and we do the gutters in the same visit. Every window on the job gets the same attention, including the small panes and the sill along the bottom of each one, and our goal is clean windows on every visit, not a quick pass.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we will not start on a house until you have heard the plan. If you want us to schedule service on a particular day, say so when you book and we will hold it.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters first and then the glass, and the window cleaning services are priced as one visit.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and condos are quoted the same way as a house. We give it by phone or text before anyone is booked.
On our jobs the outside carries the tree dust, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are the things that cloud the glass from outside even when the windows inside are clean. Cleaning the outside is what removes dirt that rain alone leaves behind.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in fall, when the spring growth and the leaves arrive.
No. Runoff from the gutters is the reason the glass comes last. The gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed first, and only then does anyone touch the windows. A gutter that overflows in a rain can also cause water damage, so it gets checked first.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and the frames are done as part of the job, so they are included in our washing services with no extra line. We do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing; this visit is exterior only.
No. Before we arrive, the sprinklers go off the night before, the driveway is clear if the windows face it, pets stay inside while the ladders are up, and the side gate is left unlocked.
Text us a photo and we will tell you what it is. Spots that come back a day later are usually mineral deposits from the sprinklers, and cleaning will not remove them.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
