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 runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Our crew does this work across New Jersey, and many of our Princeton Meadows customers book it for the spring and fall cleanings.
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.
The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window cleaners check the stories, the window count and what is in the gutters and downspouts before we quote, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Several things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a residential window set above a sunroom roof add time at the glass. Clogged gutters, the kind packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul away. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Heavy grime, or hard-water spotting from sprinklers, needs more than a standard cleaning, and we tell you that before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the customers who get the most out of one visit are the ones who send us the stories and window count before we arrive, along with a photo of the front of the house by text. That lets us quote the job accurately from the start. For regular cleanings, many of our customers keep the same schedule each season, so the crew knows the house and the window pattern, and the job runs smoothly from one visit to the next. The window washing and the washing services on the glass are handled in the same visit as the gutters, using purified water, with cleaning solutions reserved for panes that water alone will not lift, so the exterior picture windows dry clean without leaving streaks. Some customers ask about the interior and exterior glass together, but this visit covers the outside only. Our window cleaning services are built around that single visit, and we do not add a second trip to finish the job.

|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |

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.
Our Princeton Meadows customers usually book the fall visit in late October to November, and across New Jersey the spring visit falls in late May to June, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both the window and gutter cleaning. Each visit catches what the season leaves behind. In the spring, the pollen settles on south-facing glass and packs into the gutter elbows as a paste. In the fall, the leaf load builds in the gutters and the wet mat holds water against the fascia through the cold months, which is how clogged gutters start to cause water damage.
Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line that hits the glass, often need a third visit, because grit and needles keep packing the gutters and downspouts and the spots come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site also tends to need more frequent visits, since the crew has to remove dirt from the glass more often each season. On our jobs, a house with few trees usually needs only the fall visit, and a house under heavy trees gets the spring and fall visits plus one more.
A haze you only notice when the sun is low, often from the windows inside the house, is the sign that the glass needs cleaning, and it drags down curb appeal faster than most owners expect. The sign that clogged gutters need clearing is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, and the runoff that lands on the wall below is the clearest clue. If either one shows up between visits, text us a photo and we tell you what it is.
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.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our crew works throughout Princeton Meadows, from single-story homes to multi-story buildings, and we tell you the typical lead time when you call so you know when we can come out. We clean every window on the outside of the house in that one visit, not a sample of them. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall cleaning seasons, when the calendar fills fastest and it helps to book early.
Our crew calls before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We do not promise same-day or next-day service unless the schedule actually has an opening that week. For residential and commercial jobs, the same booking steps apply, and the crew confirms the window count and access before the professional window cleaning visit so the job runs without delay.
Yes. The same two-person crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters washes onto the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the residential window count of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book.
Yes, because the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and each visit has to remove dirt before the glass looks right. The same marks show up on condos and residential properties here.
Our customers here book the spring and fall visits, and we set the dates by the season and the stories of the house.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff from the gutters has already drained before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped on every window we clean, as part of the job, so you do not get a separate bill for them.
No. Our crew does not clean windows inside the house, and pressure washing is not part of this visit, so the work covers the exterior glass only.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
