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 both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. On our North Arlington jobs, most customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when the leaves and grit have built up enough to matter.
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. Booking gutters and exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
Here is what moves the quote when our crew is on the ground: a third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it, a high window count or oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles, leaves and grime, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The price covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior window work is quoted as a separate job.
Send us a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us the number of stories. We can usually give you the exact number from that, and if we need to see the back, we say so before we book. Our window cleaning services follow the same routine on every house, and our window washing services are quoted the same way, so the quote you hear is the bill you get. We do not charge for regular cleanings that are part of the same visit, and the price does not change once the crew is on the ladder.
| 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.
On our North Arlington jobs, most customers book both the window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in late spring and once in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across New Jersey the spring visit usually falls in late May to June and the fall visit in November to early December, for residential and commercial buildings alike, though the leaf loads set the dates for each property.
In spring, the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and tree sap packs into the gutters, so the downspout elbows clog first. In fall, the leaf load arrives all at once, and the wet mat sits in the troughs until the first hard rain, which is when clogged gutters start to overflow onto the siding. On houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and those customers come back three or four times a year. Houses near a busy road or an active construction site also tend to need a third visit, because the film on the glass builds faster.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and you will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain. Cleaning solutions are kept to a minimum, since purified water does most of the work on the glass. If the film is on the windows inside, it is condensation, and exterior cleaning will not touch it. From December through March, when snow and ice sit in clogged gutters, the water can seep under the shingles and cause water damage at the fascia, so the gutters belong on the schedule before the freeze. Multi-story buildings get the same check from the ground and from the pole. Our crew checks both on every visit and tells you what it finds on the photos.
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 works across North Arlington, and we keep the calendar open for the busy windows that come with spring glass haze and fall leaves. Book early in those periods, because our schedule fills as the first warm days arrive and again once the leaves start to come down. To schedule service, call or text as soon as you know your dates.
To get an estimate, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories. We give you a written estimate for the bundle, and once you book a date, we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
We handle the gutters and the outside of every window in the same visit, and we clean the sill along with the glass. Our window cleaners work from a water-fed pole on upper stories and from a boom or scissor lift where the house needs one. That keeps the curb appeal of the house consistent across every window, and it is why we describe our work as professional window cleaning rather than a quick rinse.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, and the gutters and downspouts get done first so the runoff does not end up on clean glass.
The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the number before you book. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count.
On a residential window, the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those build up faster than the inside does. Cleaning the outside alone still makes a visible difference.
Most of our North Arlington customers book in late spring and late fall, after the haze and leaves have built up. Across New Jersey the spring visit usually falls in late May to June and the fall visit in November to early December, on residential properties and condos alike.
No, as long as gutters are done first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, someone has to wash it again once the gutters are cleared.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job. Tracks are included on the visit when they are reachable from the outside, and we remove dirt from them as part of the same pass.
Not on this visit. We do exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this booking.
No, 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.
