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 the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and fall.
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.

What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer. Oversized panes and high window counts add time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate matter that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Readington jobs, the quote usually moves most with stories and window count. One customer on a two-story house with a long back run had us flush every downspout and rinse the screens along the side of the house, and that is what set the final price. We get the exact number by asking how many stories the house has, roughly how many windows, and for a photo of the front of the house by text. Once we have those, we give you one number and that is the number you pay. Window washing and washing services on the outside of the house are part of this quote, along with window cleaning services for the upper floors. Grime that has built up on the glass takes more time than a light rinse. The gutters carry runoff from the roof, and clearing the gutters and downspouts keeps that runoff off the siding. Our crew can remove dirt from the frames and sills while they are up there, and condos with several stories are quoted the same way. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will book a date that suits you.

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.
On our Readington jobs, most of our customers book both twice a year. That is why one crew doing the window and gutter work in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
In late May or June we find pollen on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters after the spring drop. In late October or November the leaf load is what fills the runs. Storms and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we call before we come. Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof sends needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames. Those houses are on three or four visits a year, and we say so after the first look.
For cleaning solutions we use purified water on the glass, which dries without residue. Homes and small buildings alike get the same approach, and our crew handles residential and commercial exteriors the same way. Some customers add an interior and exterior schedule, but on this visit we only do the outside. Picture windows are the hardest, since they are the largest pane and show every streak if the water is not right. Regular cleanings keep the glass and gutters from building up to the point where a single visit takes most of a day.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets 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 has cleaned the gutters and windows on houses across Readington. Booking starts with a call or a text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we return an estimate. Our lead time is short, and during the busy spring and fall windows our calendar fills, so the sooner you book, the sooner the crew can come. Our cleaning services cover both the glass and the gutters, and our window cleaners work from the ground and from a boom or scissor lift on the taller houses. Our professional window cleaning uses purified water on the glass and flushes every downspout on the gutter side. Curb appeal of a house depends on clean windows and clear gutters, and both are part of one visit. Clogged gutters are the first thing we check, because they are the usual route to water damage at the fascia and foundation. On tall houses and multi-story buildings we set up once per side so the crew is not moving the lift more than needed. This visit covers the glass outside only, not the windows inside. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, so window and gutter cleaning is one booking. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean panes.
The number depends on stories and the size of the house, so we give it by phone or text after we know those. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house to schedule service, and we return one price for both jobs.
Yes, because the outside of a residential window carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. On our Readington jobs the spring pollen film and the autumn grime are the two things that dull the glass most.
Most of our Readington customers book in late spring and again in late fall. Residential properties fill our calendar in those two windows, so booking early helps you get the date you want.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then do the glass, which keeps the runoff off the clean windows.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We rinse the screens and wipe the sill as we go, so every window is done.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Our crew sends photos of each run to your phone before they leave. Those steps answer most of the frequently asked questions we hear about the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
