Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew cleans the outside of windows and gutters across New Jersey, and in Pleasantville most of our spring and fall customers book both on the same day.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and a rough window count and we will quote from there. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and ask for a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer on the ladder. A window count that runs high, or oversized picture windows that need a boom or scissor lift to reach, adds time. Work on multi-story buildings is quoted the same way, by floors and glass, so tell us how many floors there are. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more work than a yearly run, and clogged gutters take longer than light ones. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are priced by the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit. Clearing gutters and downspouts, flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions are included too.
Glass is priced by where it sits: the interior and exterior are different jobs, and this quote covers the exterior only. The fastest way to get your own exact number is to count the stories, estimate the windows, and text us a photo of the front of the house. We quote regular cleanings and residential and commercial exteriors the same way, by stories and window count, so the method does not change from one job to the next.
| 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 Pleasantville customers book both jobs as two cleanings a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring a film of pollen builds on south-facing glass, and the spring visit clears the winter grit along with it. In fall the leaf load comes down, clogged gutters stay wet until the first hard freeze, and storm or wind seasons can push the dates a few weeks either way.
Some houses need a third visit, and we tell you early when yours is one of them. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit in the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Gutters that back up in a storm can let water into the eave and cause water damage, so a house like that is worth a closer look. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the average lot. Those cases tend to show up in the same places on the same kinds of houses, so the first visit is when we learn which one applies.
We keep this part simple: regular cleanings on the spring and fall schedule are the baseline, and you only need to watch for the signs in between. Windows need cleaning when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout. Call (866) 435-6328 when you see either one and we will get a crew to you.
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 does exterior window and gutter cleaning on residential properties across Pleasantville, and the same crew handles every window and every run on the house in one visit. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing on this visit, so the work stays on the outside of the house where the grime and runoff actually build up. Keeping clean windows and clear gutters is most of the curb appeal the street sees. A residential window cleaning and gutter run takes a morning for most two-story homes.
To book, call or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate from there. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the next open date on the call rather than promising a slot we cannot keep. The two busy windows are spring tree season and fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills. If you can book outside those windows, you usually get an earlier date. Professional window cleaning for condos is booked the same way, with the stories and window count on the call.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every run and every window to your phone when we finish. The job is done when the sill is wiped and the gutters and downspouts have been checked to flow, so schedule service with us by phone or text at (866) 435-6328.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, then do the glass, so the washing services never drag grime across clean panes.
We do not quote a figure from a list. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and you get it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328 before we book. The quote is the number we charge.
In Pleasantville the outside carries the pollen film in spring, rain dust through the year and sprinkler spots that build up on south-facing glass. Those build up whether or not the inside is clean, so the outside is where most of the visible haze comes from. Cleaning the outside is the step that does the most to remove dirt the street can see, and it is most of the curb appeal.
Across New Jersey, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and in Pleasantville the fall visit usually lands in late October or November. Those windows come after the spring tree season and before the first hard freeze.
No, we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared the grit and black water come down the wall, so the windows are the last thing we touch on the house.
Screens are rinsed and put back in, and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included when they are on the outside of the house, and we do not bill them as extras.
We do not clean the windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing either, so the exterior glass is the whole job.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
