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. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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.
Window washing and gutter work are priced together, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew confirms it from the front of the house before any work starts. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our window cleaning services and washing services are priced off the same count.
What moves the quote on the day is usually a third story or a roof too steep to walk, and multi-story buildings are counted floor by floor. A window count that includes oversized picture windows, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove all add time. Grime on glass that has gone a season unwashed does too. Each of these shows up in the photos we take before we start, so you see the reason behind the number.
Across New Jersey, the cases that cost the most time are the same ones: a long run of gutters on a regular cleanings schedule that was skipped, and glass that has gone a season without washing. Residential properties are quoted the same way, so a house and a condo with the same number of stories and windows get the same kind of estimate. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of your house with a rough count of stories and windows, and we will confirm your exact number before any work starts. Our cleanings include the exterior of every window, and we do not add charges for the parts that are already in the estimate. Ask for a separate estimate if you need the interior and exterior of a home priced, since this quote covers the outside glass only.

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 book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. Across New Jersey, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. The spring visit clears the seed and pollen that build up in the gutters, and it leaves a dusty film on south-facing glass. The fall visit clears the leaf load before the first hard weather. Residential and commercial buildings across New Jersey follow the same spring and fall dates.
In spring, clogged gutters hold the sticky seed mass in the downspout elbows, and dust builds fast on south-facing windows. In fall, the wet leaf mat is what sags a hanger. Across New Jersey, nor'easters can move the dates by a few weeks, and we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings take longer on the upper floors. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that leaves spots that return a day later, or a house close to a busy road all mean more debris and more frequent visits. A backed-up gutter can send runoff over the edge in a storm, and that is how water damage starts at the fascia and soffit. On those jobs we set the schedule with you after the first cleaning rather than guessing.
The sign windows need it is haze you only notice when the sun is low, and it takes more than a rinse to remove dirt from the frame. Haze like that is a film that water alone does not always lift, so the crew uses cleaning solutions where the glass needs them. Dust on the windows inside the house is a separate matter and is not part of this visit. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If you see either, text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which visit is due.
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 Plainfield and the surrounding area, and booking is simple. Window cleaning services start with a text or call that gives the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate you can check against the invoice. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the first open date when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and our calendar fills during them. If you want a particular date, ask for it early so we can hold a slot for your window and gutter cleaning. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you are not surprised by a truck in the driveway. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal. If you ask about the interior and exterior of a home, we will tell you what the crew takes on before you book.
We are one of the cleaning services that does both jobs in one visit, which is why many homeowners choose us over booking two window cleaners and a separate gutter crew. Professional window cleaning means the glass is done with a water-fed pole and purified water, and every window on the outside of the house gets the same care, from the picture window down to the sill.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both, and the gutters are always done first. That way the water and debris from the gutters never runs down onto the glass we have just cleaned.
We do not quote a price from a general range, whether it is a house, condos or any other residential properties. The number comes from the stories and the size of the building, and you get it by phone or text before anything is booked.
Yes, because the outside takes the hit here. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on every residential window, and the inside is not what catches them. The crew uses purified water to remove dirt from the exterior glass without leaving streaks.
Most of our North Plainfield customers book in spring and fall. Those are the visits that clear the build-up and the leaf load, and they are also the dates our calendar fills first.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. If the glass were washed first, the runoff from the next gutter run would streak it again, so the order matters.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, so you do not see those as separate line items on the invoice.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only, and windows inside are not part of it, nor is pressure washing.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
