Gutter and window cleaning in Southampton, NJ is one visit with one crew: the same two people clear the gutters and clean the outside of the windows, 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 two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our crew has done this work across New Jersey for spring and fall visits, including residential window jobs in town, and the rest of this page explains what we find and what drives the price. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and window count, and we will give you a number.
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, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking gutters and windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it does not change once the crew is on the ladder. The quote covers getting every pane to clean windows, not a per-pane charge, and the gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same pass.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. A window count that runs high, or oversized panes, adds time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleared in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before the water runs clear. Gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate problem that cleaning does not remove, and we say so before we quote it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our Southampton jobs show how this plays out. On one house, the number moved because the gutters were packed from the spring pollen drop and the window count was higher than the owner first estimated. Once the crew measured the stories and counted the glass from the front, the quote held. Here is the one thing that matters for your own estimate: send a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the number of stories and a rough window count. The crew can work from that to give you an exact figure before anyone books a date. We do not guess and then add charges later. Companies that price differently may say they cover the same ground, but the test is whether the number on the phone and the invoice match, and ours do. Cleaning solutions are included in the price, and we use the same approach on residential and commercial buildings, so the method does not change with the property. A quote for interior and exterior glass would be a separate job, and this one covers the outside only. Ask about regular cleanings if you want the same crew back on a schedule, and we will set the interval from what we find on the glass and in the gutters. For homes with picture windows, the quote reflects the larger pane size, which takes more care at the top edge. If the property sits under trees, the gutters need more frequent attention, and the quote reflects that from the start.
| 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 Southampton customers book these cleaning services twice a year, once in the late spring after the seed drop, and once in the fall after the last leaves come down, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across New Jersey the timing follows the same pattern, so the spring and fall visits work on any house in the state. Professional window cleaning on a two-visit schedule keeps both ends of the year covered.
At each visit we find different things. In the spring, the south-facing glass carries a pollen film, and the gutters hold a wet paste that blocks the downspout elbows. A clean front does a lot for curb appeal at that point of the year. In the fall the leaf load is heavy, and what the crew finds is a wet mat that has been sitting since the first frost. Across New Jersey, nor'easters and wind seasons move the dates, so we look at the house, not the calendar, before we set a time. Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Gutters that stay packed for a season can lead to water damage at the fascia and soffit, so we flag it early. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the rest of the block, and those customers tend to book a third cleaning in the middle of the year.
We do not send anyone a DIY list for the gaps between visits. The sign that windows need attention sooner is haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Either one is a reason to call us, and the crew will tell you what it finds. Runoff from a gutter that is backing up can streak the siding below, which is one more sign to call.
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 by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a date from there. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar. Lead time depends on our calendar. Spring visits across New Jersey usually run late May to June, and fall visits in Southampton usually land in late October to November. Those are the stretches to ask about first, since slots open up more slowly in them.
Our window cleaning services cover Southampton, and the crew has worked on residential properties across town, including residential window and gutter jobs. If you are comparing window cleaners, ask whether the same crew also clears gutters, because that is how the visit is set up here. Whether the house is a single family home or one of the multi-story buildings in town, the steps are the same: we call before we come, we check the gutters from the ground and the roof, and we confirm which windows we can reach from the ladder and which need a pole.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but you should know what happens when the crew arrives. Every window on the outside gets the same attention, and the sill and frame come with the glass. Windows inside are not part of this visit, so the crew works from the outside only, and our washing services do not extend to interior glass. Exterior cleaning is what we do on this visit, and we set expectations for every window in the quote so the invoice matches. If you want a standing date on the calendar, ask us to schedule service for the same time each year.
Yes, and it is the same crew. Our two people clean the gutters first and then do the exterior glass, so you book one visit instead of two.
The number comes from the stories, the window count and what is in the gutters, and condos get the same quote method. Send a photo of the front and we give you the figure by phone or text before we book.
Yes, the outside takes the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and cleaning the inside does not remove dirt from the outside.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in the fall, and that is when the spring film and the leaf load justify the visit.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. The runoff from a cleared gutter would otherwise land on the window below, so the order matters.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. We do not bill those as separate items.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so inside glass is not part of the job. Our washing services stay with the outside of the windows, the frames and the screens.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while 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.
