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. Our crew has done this work for many Paterson customers in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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.
Price comes from stories and window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Booking window washing and gutter cleaning together in one visit is cheaper than two separate jobs on two dates, and the bundle saving shows on your quote. Our washing services and the gutter work share one setup, so one crew handles both.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a large window count add glass to wash. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a separate treatment that regular cleanings do not remove, and we tell you about it before we start. Flushing the gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get your exact number, tell us the stories and the approximate window count, or text a photo of the front of the house. Those three things are enough for us to quote over the phone. Our quote for a residential window job covers exterior glass only, since we do not offer an interior and exterior package on this visit. On a Paterson house with picture windows on the front, the glass takes the longest, so the photo helps us give you an accurate number before the crew is booked for a visit.
| 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 Paterson customers book two cleanings a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both window and gutter cleaning. Across New Jersey the spring visit runs late May to June, and the fall visit late October to November. In spring the pollen lands on south-facing glass as a yellow film, and it pastes itself into the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load comes down in wet mats that block the downspouts before the first hard freeze.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters full between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and ordinary cleaning solutions will not lift them. Multi-story buildings near a busy road or a construction site collect more grime on the outside of the glass than a quiet street does.
You will see the window need on the glass in low sun as a haze you only notice when the sun is at an angle. If the haze sits on the windows inside rather than the outside, the cause is condensation, and an exterior cleaning will not change it. The gutter need shows up as water sheeting over the edge in rain, and a gutter that stays full for a season can lead to water damage on the fascia below. If you see either outside, book the 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 window cleaners work across Paterson on residential and commercial properties, and we book a slot by phone or text. Send us the stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a date and a time window. Booking lead time is set by our calendar and we tell you the date when you call. Our calendar fills in the busy spring and fall windows, so book early if you want those weeks. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal from the street.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside and does not come inside. Cleaning services on residential properties are scheduled for the day that suits you. Professional window cleaning means the glass is washed with purified water from the ground or a pole, and the frames and sills are wiped down. Our window cleaning services cover every window that is reachable from outside, and we tell you about any that are not.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to schedule service for your home in Paterson.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters are done first, and the glass is washed last so nothing runs back onto it.
We give the number from the stories and the approximate window count for your residential window job. Tell us those by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, and the quote is the number we charge.
On our Paterson jobs the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust, sprinkler spots and the runoff that dries on the glass after a storm, so the glass looks dirty from the street even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside is what lets us remove dirt from the glass and frames where it actually sits.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the pollen drop, and again in late fall, after the leaves come down. The months are the same for both jobs, so one visit covers them.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass is washed after the gutters are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job. Tracks are cleaned with the window, and we tell you about any that need more work before we start.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean interior windows or pressure wash on this visit.
You do not need to be home. If your home is one of the condos, tell us when you book so the crew knows the access. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
