Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing dirty from the roof lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and your approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book spring and fall, when tree debris and leaves are heaviest, and that rhythm holds for Ocean Acres homes too.
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 in one visit costs less than booking gutters and windows separately. Window washing and gutter work are quoted together, so the washing services cost one number. The figure we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized picture panes, gutters packed with needles and leaves that have not been opened in years, gutter guards we have to lift and reseat, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Heavy grime on a sill or a run of gutters that sheds runoff onto the siding also adds time. Each of those takes time on the ladder, so we name them up front. Flushing the gutters and downspouts is how we remove dirt from the runs before any glass gets done.
To get your exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have. Our window cleaning services start with that photo, and nothing is booked until you have the number. Each residential window is counted once from that photo, so the number is set before the crew arrives. We do not need to walk the lot to give a number you can rely on. Condos are priced the same way, from the building's stories and window count. If a later visit shows more work than the photo suggested, we tell you before we start, and the price stays the same unless you agree to the change.

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.
In Ocean Acres, most of our customers book both services twice a year, once in late spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across New Jersey, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and in Ocean Acres the fall visit runs late November to December. Those timings follow the pollen season and the leaf drop, not a calendar convention. The schedule works the same for residential and commercial accounts, and regular cleanings keep the buildup from setting.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass, and the gutters pick up the same tree dust, so a window and gutter cleaning in that window clears both before summer. In fall, the wet leaf mat is what we find in the runs, and the glass picks up the dust that rain leaves behind. Picture windows show haze first when the sun is low. Hard-water spotting is a different problem, and standard cleaning solutions will not lift it, which is why the mineral treatment is quoted apart. Storm and wind seasons, including nor'easters across New Jersey, can move the fall date a week or two in either direction.
Some houses need a third visit beyond the two yearly cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road all leave residue faster than the twice-a-year rhythm can handle. If you see haze on the windows only when the sun is low, the glass is due. If water sheets over the gutter edge in rain, the runs are due. Whether the interior and exterior glass both need work is a separate booking, since this visit covers the outside only. We will tell you which pattern your house follows after the first visit.
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 on residential properties across Ocean Acres and we can usually tell you the lead time when you call. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your stories and an approximate window count, and we send back an estimate. Those two details are enough for most homes, and the same booking steps cover our cleaning services for every home. The crew does not do windows inside, so nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we arrive, so you are never guessing who is on the ladder.
The busy windows are the two seasons when leaves and grit peak, and our calendar fills faster then. Booking early in those months keeps you from waiting, and our window cleaners keep the same visit order every time: gutters first, glass last. For a home with clogged gutters or signs of water damage at the fascia, tell us when you book so the crew can plan for the extra time.
We bring professional window cleaning methods and purified water to every job, which keeps clean windows drying streak-free and protects the curb appeal you paid for. Commercial buildings and condos get the same care on a schedule set with the property manager, and multi-story buildings get the same boom or scissor lift approach we use on tall residential homes.
Yes. The same two people do both, in one visit, on residential properties across Ocean Acres. Gutters go first, glass last, so the dirty water from the runs never reaches the windows we have just finished.
There is no fixed figure we can give without the details. The number comes from your stories and approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text before any work begins.
On Ocean Acres homes the outside of every residential window takes the rain dust and sprinkler spots, and the inside never sees any of it. Cleaning the exterior is what keeps the glass clean between visits, so the clean windows you see from inside stay that way.
Across New Jersey, spring visits run late May to June, and in Ocean Acres fall visits run late November to December. To schedule service in those months, call (866) 435-6328 early, since the calendar fills faster then.
No. Gutters go first, glass last. When the runs are cleared and flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches a window.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and every window reachable from outside is included. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only. We do not clean interior glass or pressure wash siding on it.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
