Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs down 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 worked spring and fall across New Jersey, and most of our customers here book the bundle twice a year.
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.
Our direct answer is this: window washing and gutter cleaning are priced by stories and approximate window count, the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate before anyone is scheduled.
On every job, the things that move a quote in professional window cleaning are the same ones. A third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the wall, and the same goes for multi-story buildings. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows, which take more care to clean without streaking, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem: it does not come off with cleaning, and we say so on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
On a recent job on one of our Pompton Plains streets, the quote was driven by the window count on the back of the house and clogged gutters over the sunroom, with some water damage at one corner of the fascia that we photographed and reported. The customer got one visit and one invoice for both jobs. The windows inside stayed as they were, since that was not part of what they booked. To get your exact number, tell us your stories and window count and send a photo of the front of the house by text.

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, the two visit windows are late May to June and late October to November, and most of our Pompton Plains customers book both twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for each season. In the spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In the fall the leaf load is the main job, and houses that skipped that visit tend to show sagging runs by the next winter.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A residential window on a house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust that settles on the sill. Our crew checks every window and gutter run on the first visit and can tell you which of those applies to your lot.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain.
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 the exterior of windows and gutters across the Pompton Plains area, and the estimate starts with a phone call or text giving the number of stories and a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call or text, and we will tell you the first open slot when we call back. In the two busy windows of the year, the calendar fills faster, so booking early helps. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew handles the washing services and window cleaning services a homeowner expects, and works to remove dirt from the frame and sill, including the grime that builds up there and the runoff from the roof that dirties the glass below a gutter with a leak. Gutters and downspouts get the same care, and any mess that falls onto the walkway is cleared before we leave. Our work covers residential properties and residential and commercial buildings in the same area, including a small number of condos where the building manager has asked for us. For a quote, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house.
Yes. The same two people do both, in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order is the reason we do both together rather than sending two crews.
We give no fixed figure without knowing the house. The number comes from stories, size and what is in the gutters, and we quote it by phone or text.
On our jobs, the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting that the inside never sees, so the outside is where most of the dirt sits. The inside is not part of this visit.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down. Regular cleanings at those two points suit most houses, and those are the two visits we plan the calendar around, with cleanings in between only when a house needs one.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job, and we use purified water on the glass rather than cleaning solutions. None of that is billed as an extra.
On this visit we do exterior window glass only. We do not clean windows inside and we do not do pressure washing here.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 with any questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
