Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, many homeowners book this pairing for spring and fall, when grime and falling leaves build up fastest.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Our window washing services and the gutter work are one bundle, both jobs in one visit, and that costs less than booking the two separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Oversized picture windows and a high window count add time at the glass. Heavy grime takes extra passes to remove dirt from the glass. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more work at every downspout. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, and no cleaning removes it.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job. We do not bill them as extras, and the window cleaning services we quote include them. Our crew hauls the debris away, so you do not have to.
On a Somerset job we recently saw a two-story home with a large window count and heavy grime on the south side. Once the gutters were cleared, the crew could work the glass from the same ladder position, which kept the visit to one morning. That is the kind of detail the number on the phone already accounts for.
The first question most people ask is how much it costs, so tell us the stories and a rough window count and we will tell you what the visit looks like. We do not need a full inventory to start. A few photos of the roofline and the windows usually settle it, and the quote we give is what you pay. Condos and other residential properties are booked the same way, by stories and window count.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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.
Most of our Somerset customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On our jobs the spring visit lands after the early-season seed drop has settled, and the fall visit lands after the last leaves have come down.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and sticky paste packed into the gutters. In fall it is the wet leaf load that matters most. Storms and wind seasons can move the dates, so we book around them rather than on a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime than the average lot.
On a house with few or no trees, once a year is often enough. On a house with trees over the roof, clogged gutters are common, and we see the gutters needing attention every three or four months. Regular cleanings keep the downspouts clear and the glass readable, and they make each visit faster. The glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to streak.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running through the downspout. If either happens, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo and we will look at it.
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 book window and gutter cleaning for residential and commercial buildings across Somerset, and our crew works with the cleaning services that homeowners and building managers expect. We also work with window cleaners on related jobs, but our own crew does the gutters and the exterior glass in the same visit. Professional window cleaning means the gutters are done first, the downspouts are flushed, and the glass is dried without streaks.
Booking starts with a phone call or a text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, which is usually enough for a residential window job. We then give you a time window. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our calendar fills during the two busy windows of the year, so the earlier you book, the better your chance at a date you want.
Gutters left clogged for a long time can cause water damage at the fascia and along the wall below, so a timely visit protects more than the look of the house. Clean gutters also support the curb appeal of the house, which matters to people who will see it from the street.
For larger properties, the same crew handles multi-story buildings with a boom or scissor lift where a ladder cannot reach safely. The number of stories and the access on the day both shape the time needed.
Not every window cleaner does, but our crew does both. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last so nothing dirty ends up on clean panes.
The number comes from stories and window count, not a fixed rate. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate before the visit.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting that build up here. Clean windows on the outside also let more light in, and that is the part most people notice first. Our visit covers the exterior only, so windows inside stay as they are, and the interior and exterior are never mixed into one visit.
Across New Jersey, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run late October to November. Book early in those windows, because the calendar fills fastest then.
Not on our visits, because we do gutters first and glass last. The runoff from the gutters and downspouts is cleared before anyone touches the windows, so the panes stay clean.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. They are not billed as extras. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. We send photos of every run before we leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
