The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs back onto the panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Parsippany customers book this twice a year, in spring and in fall.
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 window and gutter bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our starting prices are only a starting point, and the real figure depends on the house in front of us. Our quote covers exterior glass only, since interior and exterior cleaning are separate jobs, and we quote residential and commercial jobs the same way.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, 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. Hard-water spotting adds time on the glass, and the cleaning solutions for it are included in the quote. Where the work needs a boom or scissor lift, we say so before the visit.
The quote moves with the same things on every house: the window count, the number of stories, and how much the gutters have built up. Ask for a written estimate and we will tell you exactly what drives your figure, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through it on the phone. If you book regular cleanings, we already have your window count and stories on file, so the next quote starts from the same numbers.
| 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.
Across New Jersey, most of our customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. The spring visit falls in late May to June, and it suits a single crew doing both jobs at once, which is why one trip makes sense. At that visit the glass shows a pollen film on south-facing panes, and the gutters hold a sticky paste that packs the downspout elbows. The fall visit comes in late October to November, when we find the wet leaf mat that sits on the roof and in the runs. Homeowners who use cleaning services for the inside of the house often put the outside visit on the same calendar, and it is one of the simplest ways to keep up with professional window cleaning, since window cleaners who do both jobs in one visit save you a second trip.
Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, and the nor'easters that come through the region are the reason we ask about your last visit before we set a date. Multi-story buildings and houses with heavy tree cover over the roof need a third visit as we see them, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between regular cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass usually shows up as spots that come back a day after cleaning, and that is a reason for an extra visit too. Gutters that overflow near the foundation invite water damage, so they are worth a visit before the next storm. Houses near a busy road or a construction site collect more grime on the glass and tend to need the same.
You will know the windows need attention when a haze shows up only when the sun is low, and a haze on the windows inside the house is a separate job we do not cover on this visit. You will know the gutters need attention when clogged gutters let water sheet over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass also does more for curb appeal than most people expect. If either happens between visits, text a photo and we will tell you which one it is.
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 cleans residential properties and commercial buildings across the area, and the window and gutter cleaning visit is the same whether the building is a home or an office. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your number of stories. We will come back with a window count and a date. Lead time varies with the season, and when our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year we say so on the call instead of guessing.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we do not come inside. A residential window is cleaned from the outside with the same method as any other pane. Every window we clean is done from the outside, and every sill, frame and screen that is part of the job gets the same attention. Clean windows are the result we want, and the gutters are cleared first so runoff does not spoil them. Once the date is set we confirm the arrival window the day before.
Yes, our crew does both in one visit. Gutters and downspouts are cleared first and the glass is done last, so the runoff from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from your stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We will not guess a figure over the internet.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting that a normal indoor cleaning never touches. Those layers of grime are what make the glass look hazy in low sun, and our window cleaning services are built around removing them.
Most of our Parsippany customers book in the spring, once the winter road grit has built up, and again in the fall after the leaves come down. Those are the two visits we plan around.
Not if the gutters are done first. When the glass is washed before the gutters, the runoff lands on clean panes and someone has to come back to remove dirt from the same panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of our washing services on the exterior visit, so they are not billed as extras.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home, and the same exterior visit works for houses and condos. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
