The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by what comes off the roof. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Roxbury jobs, most customers book it for the spring and fall cleanings, when the pollen and leaves have built up on the glass and in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 for an estimate and you keep the same crew from the estimate to the final photos.
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.
Window washing gets priced together with the gutters, by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Some window cleaners quote per pane, but we quote the whole house, 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, which is the first thing to ask any professional window cleaning crew for.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones you will see on your own house: a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew has to work from a boom or scissor lift, a high count of windows, large picture windows, or oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and clogged gutters that spill over can lead to water damage at the foundation.
On a recent Roxbury job, the quote moved because the back of the house had a third story and a row of clogged gutters under heavy tree cover, and the front windows had sprinkler spotting. The crew measured the gutter run, counted the panes and photographed the spotting before quoting, and the final number matched the estimate. The fastest way to get your exact number is to text us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with it. Every window and every run gets photographed before the crew leaves.

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 Roxbury jobs, most of our customers book cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them.
Across New Jersey, the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, when the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and packs the downspout elbows. The fall visit falls in late October to November, when the leaf load matters most and the wet mat in the gutters can freeze once the cold sets in. Across New Jersey, nor'easters can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we look at the house rather than the calendar when we set the slot.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts 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 grime on every window. Those are the houses where we tell customers up front that twice a year may not be enough.
You know a residential window needs a cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Keeping clean windows clear of that film takes one visit, not a weekend on a ladder. You know the gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspouts. Regular cleanings catch both before they turn into a bigger job.
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 cleaning services and gutter work run across Roxbury. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us for an estimate, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time varies with the season, and in the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, the calendar fills first. If you ask for a date during those weeks, we will tell you the first open slot and will not promise sooner.
We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside. Our washing services cover residential properties, condos, and multi-story buildings, and the same crew handles residential and commercial jobs with the gutters and downspouts getting the same care on each. Water runoff from the roof is cleared from the run, not just from the visible stretch, so the downspouts carry water away from the foundation. We also remove dirt and grime from the glass and sills with purified water.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, and gutters are done first and glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof lands on the clean windows.
We do not quote a range here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before any work starts.
Yes, because the outside collects the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those leave a film on the glass even when the windows inside are clean.
Across New Jersey, the spring visit lands in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, and most of our Roxbury customers book one of each. Ask us and we will tell you the next open slot in either window.
No. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the wall has time to stop dripping before the windows are touched.
Screens are rinsed, each sill is wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the job, and picture windows get the same treatment. Hard-water spots need a mineral treatment, one of the cleaning solutions we quote before anyone uses it, and that one is quoted before the crew starts.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit, so the interior and exterior of a window are not both done in one pass, and we do not do pressure washing.
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, 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.
