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 both jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, and we keep the same crew on the ladder from the first run to the last pane.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. We build it from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a bundled visit costs less than booking separate cleanings for the gutters and the glass. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you the figure before anyone is scheduled.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the ones the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards we have to lift and reseat before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning solutions remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping come with the visit at no added charge.
To pin the figure down, tell us the stories, the rough window count, and whether the house has a lot of glass on the back side. A photo of the front of the house sent by text helps us see the roofline before we call back. Our window cleaning services and gutter work run on the same schedule for residential and commercial properties, and commercial buildings are quoted per building after a walk-through, so the number reflects what is actually on the site.
| 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 customers here book regular cleanings of gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in the late spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Those are the two times we see the most pollen film on south-facing glass and the most sticky paste packed into the gutters. In the fall we find clogged gutters full of wet leaves, which is the main reason runs sag under ice on houses that skipped that visit.
Some Tenafly houses need a third visit, and we can tell which ones after the first look. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, so those customers are often on every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and we flag that on the first visit. A house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up haze faster than one on a quiet street, so the glass needs a closer look.
Windows tell you when they need it: a film you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. Gutters tell you too, through water sheeting over the edge in the first hard rain, and an overflowing run is how water damage starts at the fascia. Either sign is reason enough to call us, and we will say honestly whether it is a cleaning problem or a slope problem.
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 have worked across Tenafly on residential window and gutter cleaning services, and the first call is the same wherever the house sits. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text, using your number of stories and a photo of the house front. From there we give you a window with a lead time and confirm it by phone before anyone drives over. Our window and gutter cleaning schedule fills in the two busy windows of the year, the late spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months gets you the slot you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come, so you know who is on the ladder and roughly when. Condos and residential properties are the reason most people book a visit, and clean windows are what we are there to deliver. We schedule service around the weather and the site rather than rushing a wet day.
Our crew handles residential and commercial work alike, including multi-story buildings, and commercial buildings are scheduled per building. The same crew covers every window and every run on the site, including the sill and the frame.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We clean the gutters and downspouts first, then the windows, so the runoff never lands on clean glass. You get one visit and one invoice.
We give the number on the phone or by text, built from the stories and the size of the house. Our washing services are quoted the same way, and the number we quote is the number we charge, covering downspout flushing and sill wiping along with the glass.
On the outside of a Tenafly house you will see pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, which build up faster than most people expect. That grime dulls the glass and the curb appeal of the front of the house, and professional window cleaning on the outside is how you remove dirt that rain alone leaves behind. It is worth doing on its own.
Most of our customers here book in the late spring and in the fall. Those are the two seasons when the leaves and spring dust are heaviest, so calling early in those months gives you more choice of date.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When the runs are cleared and the downspouts flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows, so no runoff reaches a clean pane.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included on the exterior side as we reach them.
Exterior only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs for us, and we do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing, so the crew stays on the outside.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Text (866) 435-6328 if anything comes up that day.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
