Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing washed down from the roof lands on clean glass. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this twice a year in spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 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.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job rather than billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Gutters that have been left a long time also tend to hold more grit, which adds time to the flush.
Our window washing is exterior only on this visit. The interior and exterior of a window are two different jobs, and the professional window cleaning we do is aimed at the glass you see from the street, the picture windows and the frames that carry the dirt, which is what sets the curb appeal of the house. Heavy tree cover over the roof is one of the things we see most often on the jobs that run long, and the clogged gutters under those trees often need a second look after the first season.
Across New Jersey, the houses that tend to run over are the multi-story buildings and the older frames, which is why we ask about stories before quoting. To get an exact number, text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a price on the spot. Houses that have been left with water damage from a long-running overflow are quoted separately after the crew has looked at the fascia and the wall below.
| 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.
Most of our Passaic customers book both jobs twice a year, in late spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Cleaning services scheduled on that rhythm catch the seed and pollen drop before it sets, and the leaf load before the first freeze.
In the spring visit we find a yellow film on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste in the gutters, and in the fall visit the wet leaf mat and the grit that the first storms carry down. A residential window that gets this pattern stays clear between visits, and the sill and frame take much less work than a glass that has gone a full year.
Regular cleanings keep most homes on the twice-a-year pattern, but some properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass so the spots come back a day later, or a house near a busy road or construction all tend to need a third pass. Storm season, mostly nor'easters across New Jersey, can move the fall date a week or two either way.
You can tell windows need a cleaning when there is a haze you only see with the sun low, and gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in rain. Most of our residential properties fall into the twice-a-year pattern, and we set the next date at the end of each visit so the schedule service stays simple.
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.
We work across Passaic, and the first step is an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. From there we give a date, and the lead time depends on how full the calendar is that week.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring bloom season and the fall leaf drop, and in those weeks the calendar fills first. Book a date early in either window if you want a specific day. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our washing services cover the glass and the gutters and downspouts in one trip, and the runoff from the roof is checked on the way down so nothing washes back onto the glass. Sills get wiped on the same pass, which is how we remove dirt that would otherwise sit on the frame. The crew checks every window before the ladders go up. We also cover condos and residential and commercial properties with shared runs, where the crew plans the ladder positions so the work moves quickly and the grime on the lower floors does not come back.
Yes, our window cleaning services and the gutter work are done by the same two people on every job we book. We clean the gutters first, then the glass, so the water from the roof never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it over the phone or by text. Text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house and you get the figure before the crew is booked.
Yes, because the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those are the marks that build up on the frame and the sill between visits.
Our customers here book in late spring and again in fall, which lines up with the spring bloom and the leaf drop. Across New Jersey, spring and fall are the windows most people choose.
No, we clean gutters first and glass last. Clearing a run sends leaves, grit and black water down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters are done and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included on the same pass. The glass is done with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left behind to streak.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing here, so ask us about those separately if you need them.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
