Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Upper customers book it for the spring and fall cleanings, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give 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 work from that.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What the crew finds on the day usually decides the final number, so tell us about it before we come. A gutter that has gone unopened through several seasons takes longer than one cleaned last fall, and a row of picture windows on a multi-story buildings-style facade takes longer than a flat run of small panes. Clogged gutters that have been holding water for a while sometimes show water damage at the fascia, and we photograph that and report it rather than fixing it. Professional window cleaning for a house this size is priced around every window on the glass, not the square footage alone. Window washing and window cleaners are the same crew here, and the curb appeal you get back shows up in the first clear week. Windows inside are not part of this visit; if you want that, it is a separate booking.
Our Upper experience is the same as in other towns along this stretch: the quote turns on access, height and how long the gutters have gone without attention. The most useful thing you can do before we talk is count your stories and send a photo of the front of the house. That gives us what we need to quote you the exact number.
| 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 in Upper book both jobs twice a year: the fall visit lands in late October or November, and across New Jersey the spring visit runs late May to June, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across New Jersey the spring and fall windows do the most work, because of the freeze and thaw cycle and the storm season.
At the spring visit we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. At the fall visit the leaf load is the main job, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs that sagged under ice by March. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we book the actual week with you on the phone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, is one case. A sprinkler line hitting the glass, which leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning, is another. A house close to a busy road or active construction also collects more grime, and on those the residential window cleaning and gutter schedule runs tighter.
You will know it is time for clean windows when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Either one is a reason to book, and it is cheaper to book the regular cleanings than to wait for the damage.
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 cleans residential properties, and our residential and commercial work covers this part of New Jersey, with a steady schedule so the calendar does not jam up in the busy weeks. To schedule service, start with an estimate by phone or text, where you give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. From there we set a date and call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the late-fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills fastest. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early. We do the washing services and window cleaning services for condos and single-family houses alike, and the crew handles grime on the glass and gutters and downspouts in the same visit. Runoff from a clogged run can soak a wall, so we clear it quickly and remove dirt from the downspout outlets as part of the job.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run before the truck leaves. Cleaning the windows and gutters together is the simplest way to handle both, and it keeps the whole job to one visit.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps dirty runoff off the clean panes.
We do not quote a figure here. The number comes from your stories and approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between cleanings. Those are the things you see from the street, and they come off with exterior cleaning alone, done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions.
Most of our Upper customers book in the spring and in the fall. We set the actual week when you call, because storm and wind seasons move the dates a little.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters first and let the wall drip before we touch the glass, which is the reason for the order.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side; we do not charge extra for them on this visit.
No. Interior and exterior cleaning are booked separately, and this visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing on this visit, so ask us about that if you need it.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
