The same two people clean your gutters and downspouts and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing falls back onto clean panes. We price the job 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 across New Jersey, and in spring and fall most of our Perth Amboy customers book both at once.
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 every residential window job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and bundling gutter cleaning with exterior window washing in one visit comes in below booking the two separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so there are no surprises on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and window count and we quote it on the spot.
Stories and roof pitch move the quote more than anything else. A steep roof or a third story means more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift for some runs. Window count matters too, and we count every window on the house, oversized picture windows included, since they take more care to clean without streaking. 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, and so does hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Perth Amboy jobs, the quote comes out of a short phone call or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the job involves before we are on the ladder. That is how we keep the window washing services and the gutter work on the same page: one crew, one number, one visit. Grime from a long season and the runoff it leaves on the glass and siding is part of what we clear, and the crew will flag anything it cannot fully remove so you know before the invoice arrives. We will also remove dirt from the frames and tracks on the same pass, so the windows look finished, not just rinsed. The glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so there is no residue left to streak.
Experience across New Jersey tells us that the houses that cost the most to do are the ones that have gone the longest without a visit. Condos with several units share a gutter run, which means the crew plans the access once rather than per unit, and that often keeps the total down for everyone involved.
| 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 homes are cleaned twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and on our Perth Amboy jobs most customers book both at once. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and as a paste packed into the gutters, and by late May the downspout elbows are often plugged with seed and pollen. In fall the leaf load is the main problem: a wet mat that sits in the runs and sags under the first ice. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we schedule against the weather rather than a fixed day. Pollen and leaf debris are the two things we see most often, and both are easier to clear before they set.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a closer look. A house near a main road or active construction collects a heavier film on the outside of the windows, so it needs cleaning on a shorter cycle.
Setting a schedule at the first visit keeps regular cleanings on track instead of letting them fall behind. We keep the calendar for residential and commercial properties the same way, and the crew works around the same details for each, including the interior and exterior sides when a customer has asked for both on a separate visit.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 Perth Amboy, and we have cleaned windows and gutters on residential properties in the Perth Amboy area. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the next open date when you call rather than promising a slot we cannot fill.
Our window cleaners handle the exterior glass in one visit, and our window cleaning services run alongside the gutter work. We do not promise same-day or next-day service, because the calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, when pollen and leaf debris peak. To schedule service in those months, book early and you will get the slot you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of the finished runs and glass to your phone before the crew leaves. Professional window cleaning on the outside of the house is what we do on this visit, and anything beyond the exterior is outside the scope of what we quote here.
Clogged gutters are the most common reason a second visit gets booked, and water damage at the fascia often follows when they go unchecked for a full season. Multi-story buildings and tall homes need a boom or scissor lift for the upper runs, so we confirm access when you book. Our schedule for cleaning services in the Perth Amboy area fills quickly in the busy months, so call early.
Yes. Our crew does both, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is never dirtied after it is cleaned.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Give us those by phone or text and we quote it before we are on the ladder.
On our Perth Amboy jobs, the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those are what the glass shows first. Cleaning the outside keeps clean windows looking right even when the inside is fine, and it helps curb appeal too.
Our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. Across New Jersey, the spring visit runs late May to June, and the fall visit runs late October to November.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When the runs are cleared first, the grit and water run down before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned on the same visit as part of the job. They are not billed separately.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside or pressure wash on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. 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.
