Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last, so the runoff never lands on clean glass. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our New Milford jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves build up fastest.
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 stories and window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Bundling gutter and window cleaning into one visit is cheaper than two separate jobs, and the exact saving shows in your estimate. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will reply with a written estimate.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the cleaning solutions for the glass are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Window and gutter jobs are scoped to the exterior only. The residential and commercial work we do follows the same order of work, and the crew confirms the scope before starting. Regular cleanings keep the bill lower over time, because a gutter cleaned twice a year carries far less debris than one left for three years. Grime and dust build up on the glass between visits, so tell us if your lot has heavy tree cover and we will set the schedule to match.
To get the exact figure, tell us the number of stories and the rough window count, or text a photo of the front of the house. We look at the roofline, the gutter runs and the glass before we quote, and we will tell you if a visit needs a boom or scissor lift.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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.
On our New Milford jobs most customers book both twice a year, in late May or June and again in November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the two jobs. The spring visit clears the seed and tree debris that packs the gutters and downspouts, and the fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before the first freeze. Across New Jersey, the snow months of January, February, March and December are when a clogged run turns into ice and sags. Those are the months we want the gutters clear.
What we find on the glass each spring is a pollen film on south-facing windows and seed paste in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the storm-season debris that the November winds bring down. Storms and nor'easters move the dates a little, so we book against the weather, not the calendar. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction may need a third visit, because the grime and runoff come faster.
Window cleaners who only do the glass often miss what gutters carry, and most professional window cleaning services leave the clogged gutters for someone else. We book both here so the water damage from a blocked run does not reach the frames. Multi-story buildings, condos and older homes with heavy trees are the places where a missed visit shows up first as a stain under the sill.
Two signs tell you the windows need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low, and water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will book a date.
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.
Our crew does window and gutter cleaning across New Milford and books it as one visit for a residential window and gutter job. To start, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we will return a written estimate. Lead times depend on the season; the spring and fall months fill first, so book early if you want a specific date. We will tell you the open slots when we call back.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. The crew works from the outside of the house and does not enter. Gutters first, glass last, with a photo of every run sent before the truck leaves.
Every window on the outside of the house gets done, including the upper floors reached from the pole. We do the sill and the frame on each window so the job reads clean from the street and protects your curb appeal. Residential properties and homes with clean windows are our everyday work, and a schedule service plan keeps the spring and fall visits on the calendar without you having to call each time.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. Many washing services only do the glass, so we do the gutters first and the glass last to keep runoff off the clean windows.
We do not give a figure over the internet. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328.
Yes, because the outside collects grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots between visits. Interior and exterior glass take different work, and on this visit the crew has to remove dirt from the outside only.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in the fall, after the seed and leaves come down. Across New Jersey the spring and fall visits are the busiest, so book early.
No, we clear the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the roof runs down onto windows we have already done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside. Nothing is billed as an extra.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move the cars off the driveway, keep pets inside 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.
