Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, so both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall.
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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that takes more time to reach, a large number of oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards we have to lift and reseat, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. This price covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is not on the same invoice.
Gutter and window cleaning also has to handle what the season leaves behind. A pollen film on the glass and pollen paste in the gutter elbows can take more work than a light dust load, and that shows up in how long the visit runs. Our crew uses purified water for the glass, which dries without streaks, and cleaning solutions only where the grime needs them to remove dirt that water alone will not lift.
Packed downspouts and tree cover over the roof are the usual reasons a gutter run takes longer than the quote assumed, so the crew checks every run before it starts. The stories and the window count set the rest, and the number we give on the phone is built from them. You can get the same kind of quote by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting us the number of stories and a photo of the front of your house, and we will tell you what to expect before anyone books a date. Residential and commercial jobs are priced the same way, by what is on the building.

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 Summit customers book regular cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On our jobs the first visit usually clears the spring film from south-facing glass and the packed grit from the gutters. The second visit clears the leaf load and whatever the storm season has left behind.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction picks up a film that a window cleaners' standard pass will not clear on its own. Houses like this are the ones where professional window cleaning on a schedule pays off, since the glass and the gutters stay on the same calendar.
You will usually see the windows need a visit when there is a haze you only notice when the sun sits low. We do not clean windows inside the house on this visit, so any haze from the room side is outside our scope. Gutters need one when runoff sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout. If either sign shows up between visits, the crew will check it at the next stop, and it is worth flagging early so clogged gutters do not become water damage on the fascia or the siding below.
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 crew provides window cleaning services and gutter cleaning across the city, and we are glad to quote any residential window and gutter cleaning visit. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season and is set when you call, so you will know the date before we come. The two busy windows are late spring and late fall, when leaves and grime push the calendar, and bookings fill faster then, so it helps to schedule service early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not enter the house. Every window on the outside gets the same treatment, including upper-story glass done from a pole, and the sill under each one is wiped. The clean windows are photographed before the crew leaves. If the job covers residential properties, condos or small multi-story buildings, the process is the same: one estimate, one visit, photos of every run and every pane before the crew leaves.
Yes. The same two people handle our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the roof lands on clean glass.
The number depends on stories and size. We give it by phone or text from those details, and it is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs, the outside carries the rain dust and sprinkler spots, which the inside never sees. Clean outside glass is most of the curb appeal a house shows from the street.
Our Summit customers usually book in late spring and again in late fall, the two windows when the calendar fills.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts, let the wall drip, and only then touch any glass, so the water and grit never land on the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior visit. They are not billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. Our washing services cover the outside glass, frames and gutters, and we do not clean inside the glass.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the date.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
