Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately.
Across New Jersey, the outside of the glass and the gutters are the two jobs most homeowners want done together, and we book them on the same spring and fall schedule, so one crew handles both on one ladder setup.
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 cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes how we work the ladder. A high window count, or oversized panes that need the boom or scissor lift, adds time. Clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear, and gutters not cleaned in years take longer still. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are quoted before the visit. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not removed by cleaning, and we say so before we start. If the crew sees water damage on the fascia or trim, it goes in the photos before we leave. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are not one job here: this quote covers the outside of the glass only.
Getting the exact number is simple. Text us the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, tell us the number of stories, and give us a rough window count. We will come back with one figure, and the window and gutter cleaning line on the invoice matches it. Pollen film on the glass and cleaning solutions for hard spotting are priced as part of the visit, and picture windows are counted by pane. Most customers ask for the regular cleanings schedule once they see the first set of photos, which shows what the gutters and glass were carrying.

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 common visits are late May to June and late October to November, and most of our Roselle customers book both, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In late spring the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste, and the glass shows a yellow film on the south-facing panes. In late fall it is the wet leaf mat, clogged gutters that overflow, and runoff that streaks the wall under them. On houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sagged under the first ice.
Heavy tree cover over the roof is the case that needs a third visit. Needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, and water damage starts when runoff backs up at the eaves. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we leave. A house near a busy road or construction collects more grime on the glass, and those customers usually book three or four times a year. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass tend to need the third visit too, since the top floors are the hardest to see from the ground. Customers with few or no trees are usually fine with once a year in late fall, which keeps curb appeal up. The crew checks the gutters at each visit and tells you which schedule your lot actually needs.
On our jobs the first sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The first sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, not running down the downspout. Either one means the schedule has slipped.
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.
We do residential window and gutter cleaning across Roselle, and the professional window cleaning on every job follows the same order: gutters and downspouts first, then every window from the outside. The same method works for residential and commercial glass, but this page prices houses only. Our window cleaning services cover residential properties, and the same two-person crew works the gutters and glass. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, give us the number of stories, and we come back with an estimate. Lead time depends on the week, and we tell you the first open slot when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, and our calendar fills for them first. Book those early if you want a specific date, because by late May and by early October the crew is working every day. Outside of those windows, a slot usually comes up sooner, and our window cleaners can still get clean windows done before a party or a listing. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. If you want an exact date, we will schedule service on a day that suits you and confirm it by text the day before.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. They do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, which is why both are booked in one visit.
There is no fixed figure we can give you here. Professional window cleaning is priced from stories and window count, and we give the number by phone or text once we know those.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime in Roselle: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Glass can look fine from inside and still haze in low sun, because the dirt sits on the outside. Clean outside glass also helps curb appeal, and that is the part we do, not the windows inside.
Most book in late spring and again in late fall, and condos book on the same two visits. Both visits are early enough to clear the seed drop and the leaf load before they pack the downspouts.
No, gutters first and glass last is the reason. When a run is cleared, the debris and black water come down the wall as runoff, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping. Any water damage we see on the wall goes in the photos.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job. The crew can also remove dirt from tracks when they are reachable from outside.
No, 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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Our washing services cover the exterior glass on this visit only. We do not clean windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
