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 running off the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew is out across New Jersey every spring and fall, and most of our Vernon customers book both in those two windows.
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, a window and gutter cleaning bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The same figures set the price for all of our washing services, and the quote we give you is the one on the invoice.
On our window washing jobs the quote moves with a few things the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes how we work the run, and multi-story buildings need more setup time. Window count, picture windows and oversized panes add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to empty. Heavy grime takes extra time, because the crew needs more passes with cleaning solutions to remove dirt from the frames. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can clear the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate matter, since no cleaning removes it. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
How to get an exact number for your house is simple. Tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have, counting every window on the front, back and sides, and text a photo of the front of the house. Condos with shared gutter runs are quoted the same way. That is enough for us to quote the gutters, the glass, or both, before we schedule service. We keep the work to the exterior of the house and the gutter system. Interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs for us, and this quote covers the exterior only.
| 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 Vernon customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in late spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across New Jersey, the spring visit runs from late May to June, and the fall visit runs October to early November. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same two-visit rhythm.
In late spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. Regular cleanings keep that film from setting, and the crew uses mild cleaning solutions on the glass. In fall the leaf load is what we clear, and across New Jersey nor'easters move the dates a little from year to year. Houses under heavy tree cover over the roof, houses with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, and houses near a busy road or construction often need a third visit. Houses that take heavy runoff in June, September and October, the wettest months of the year here, are the ones we check first. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, which is how the crew knows they are mineral and not dirt.
You will notice when the windows need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low, and it shows first on picture windows. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which visit fits your house. Once the gutters are clear, we check every window on the house before we leave.
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 works as window cleaners across Vernon, and it clears the gutters on the same visit. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm date for window cleaning services and gutter work together. The quote and the booking happen in the same call, so you know the day and the price before we schedule service.
The two busy windows of the year fill our calendar, and this is where professional window cleaning and gutter work both go in the same week. Residential properties and multi-story buildings take the longest to set up, so book early in those months and you keep the date you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you will not find a crew on the ladder with no warning.
We know how a neglected gutter ends up as clogged gutters, and how that water finds its way into the wall as water damage. Condos share walls and gutter runs with the units next door, so one clogged run can send water into the unit below. Keeping curb appeal in good order is much easier when the gutters and the glass are on the same schedule. For anything beyond the exterior, we do not provide windows inside, so that question is answered in the FAQ.
Yes, the same crew does both in one visit. Gutters are cleared first and the glass is done last, so the dirty water from the roof never reaches the clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, multi-story buildings included, and we give it to you by phone or text before we schedule service.
On residential properties and condos alike, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks hazy from the street even when the inside is clear. Once the grime is off, clean windows show the difference right away.
Most of our Vernon customers book regular cleanings in late spring and fall. Across New Jersey the spring visit runs late May to June, and the fall visit runs October to early November, which is when the most buildup shows on the glass and in the gutters.
No, we do gutters and downspouts first and glass last. Clearing the gutters first keeps the roof runoff off the windows we have just finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped on every residential window, picture windows included, as part of the job, so you are not billed for them separately.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and we do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing.
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 to schedule service.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
