Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto 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. Across New Jersey, spring visits run late May to June, when pollen and leaves have built up the most, and fall visits in Verona run late October to November.
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. What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large count of windows or oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted to reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Heavy grime on a house that has skipped its regular cleanings takes longer than a light wipe-down.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Exterior window washing is one of our washing services, and it is done from the same ladder setup as the gutter run, which is why the combined visit is quoted once. This quote covers exterior glass only, so we do not quote interior and exterior glass together. Our window cleaning services are quoted from the same call as the gutters. To get an exact number, tell us the stories and the window count, or text a photo of the front of the house.
Tell us about any of these on the estimate call and we will tell you how each one changes the 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.
Both jobs fit the two visit windows, late May to June in spring and late October to November in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In late spring the pollen film on south-facing glass and the sticky paste in the gutters are the main jobs. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that clogged gutters hold, and it packs the downspouts first. Storm and wind seasons across New Jersey, nor'easters included, can move the dates by a few weeks, and we move the visit with you. Our cleaning solutions are matched to the glass on each visit.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings, and a clogged gutter that overflows every storm can set up water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after the crew leaves. A house close to a busy road or active construction picks up a dusty film faster than average, and multi-story buildings with a lot of upper glass often need the same. On those houses we suggest a third visit in the middle of the year, before the wettest months of July, August and October, and we say so on the first estimate call.
You can tell the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Windows inside stay on your list, since this visit covers the outside only. You can tell the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a heavy rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 has cleaned gutters and exterior windows across Verona for homes with multi-story layouts and mixed glass. Booking works by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a written estimate before we set a date. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year, spring haze and fall leaves, are when our calendar fills fastest. Book early if you want a particular week. Professional window cleaning is what keeps curb appeal up between those visits, and the same order of work applies to residential and commercial exteriors.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our window cleaners work from the outside only, and they finish the glass last, after the gutter run is rinsed. The crew does not come inside and sends photos of each run and the finished glass before they leave. We use cleaning services that match the glass and the gutter run, and every window on the house gets a look, including the upper floors and the sill below each pane. If your schedule is tight, tell us the window you can be reached, and we will schedule service around it.
Yes. The same crew cleans the gutters and downspouts and the outside glass in one visit, with the gutters first and the glass last. Doing it this way keeps dirty gutter water off the windows we have just cleaned.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house, and we will give you a written number before the crew comes out.
Usually yes, because the outside of a residential window takes the dust, rain film and sprinkler spotting here. Clean inside glass with a dirty outside still looks hazy in low sun.
Spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run late October to November, after the spring and fall build-up. If you miss that window, text us a photo of the roofline and we will find you an open date.
No, the gutters go first and the glass goes last. The runoff and grit from a gutter run come down the wall, so the glass is washed only after the wall has had time to drain.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, which helps remove dirt from the frame as well as the pane. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
We do exterior glass only on residential properties. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing, and we will tell you if something outside needs another trade.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in a condo, check with your association about access to the outside walls before we book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
