Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall, and we have been on those roofs and ladders for the whole season.
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 each window and gutter 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 on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will quote it before anyone climbs a ladder. Gutters and downspouts are cleared in one pass, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. On the glass itself, purified water does most of the work, so cleaning solutions are rarely needed.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely, and on those jobs we use a boom or scissor lift. Picture windows are large panes that take longer to do well, and a high window count adds more time. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, cost more to clear than a run that was done last year. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are quoted by the foot before the visit. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we tell you about it on the visit.
On the experience side, our crew does professional window cleaning across New Jersey and keeps the same order of work on every house. The most reliable way to get an exact number is to send us the number of stories, your window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text. A photo of the back run helps when a walk-out basement puts the gutter higher up. Most people find the quote lands where they expected once those three things are in front of us. If you want regular cleanings, tell us when the last one was, because a run cleaned last year is quoted differently from one that has not been touched.

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 of our customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing the gutters and the glass in one visit makes sense on a regular schedule. Spring is when pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutter elbows as a paste. Fall is when the leaf load arrives and the wet mat sits in the runs over winter, which is how clogged gutters start. The windows tell us the same story: dust and tree grime on the outside of the glass can make a window look hazy until the sun is low. Clean windows matter for curb appeal, because that haze shows first from the street.
Some houses need a third visit beyond the regular cleanings. We see it most often where heavy tree cover hangs over the roof, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and a blocked downspout is how water damage starts at the wall. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more grime, and the outside of the windows fills up faster, so the crew has to remove dirt that a quieter house never builds up. Multi-story buildings with several runs also need a closer check, since the upper gutters take more debris from the roof above them.
You will know the windows need attention when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign means it is time to book, and we will tell you what the crew sees on the first visit.
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 window and gutter cleaning crew has worked across River Edge and the homes around it, and the fastest way to book is to call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We give you a date once we know the size of the job, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside, and we send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before we leave.
Booking is quickest outside the two busy windows of the year, when our calendar fills with the spring season and the fall leaf drop. If you can, schedule service a few weeks ahead of either window. Residential properties and multi-family buildings fit the same route, so the cleaning services on one street can often be booked into a single day. We do not commit to a same-day slot unless the lead time for your area says so, and we will tell you the honest lead time when you call.
Our work covers the exterior of every window we can reach from the ground or from a lift, including sills and frames on each residential window. Clean windows on the outside are the whole job on this visit, and the interior stays as it is. If a window is in a spot we cannot reach safely, the crew photographs it and tells you before the bill goes out.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the runs does not run down onto clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the front by text, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the number before we book the date. If you live in one of the condos, also tell us which windows and gutter runs are yours.
On most houses here the outside carries road dust, rain grime and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Our window cleaning services keep the view clear and cut down the grime that builds up between visits.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall. Spring cleaning catches the pollen film and the seed paste in the gutters, and fall cleaning clears the leaves before the first freeze.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the debris and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the runs have stopped dripping.
Our washing services cover the screens and sills: screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and the tracks are included on standard jobs. Hard-water stains on the glass are a separate treatment, and we quote those on the visit if they are there.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and interior and exterior work is not part of this visit. We also skip pressure washing on this job, and the crew sticks to the outside of the windows and gutters. If the building is residential and commercial, tell us when you call so we can check it before the crew is booked.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
