Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it 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. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, so the calendar fills around 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 our washing services for window and gutter cleaning 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 give you a written estimate from those details.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Multi-story buildings take longer to reach safely, so a third story or a steep roof adds time on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes add time, and so do picture windows that need the pole held at a steep angle. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more hours than a light run. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are billed as part of the job, and so is hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which no cleaning removes and which we point out before any work begins.
Gutters and downspouts are cleared on the same visit as the glass. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We run water through every downspout until it flows clear, and we rinse the screens we take down before they go back in their windows.
The residential window count is what we price on, along with the stories. The cleaning solutions we use stay on the glass only long enough to lift the film, and then the crew rinses them off. Quotes also move with tree cover over the roof and the number of upper-story windows, and the crew adjusts the visit length to match. That is the kind of detail we check first. Without a photo or a count, we ask for them, and we do not guess. A pollen film on south-facing glass and paste in the gutters in the spring both add to the time on the ladder, so the spring visit usually runs a little longer than the fall one, and regular cleanings keep that work shorter each time. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs; this visit covers the outside 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.
Two visits a year, one in spring and one in fall, is the pattern that suits most houses, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. The cleaning services we run on those visits are the same each time, and the windows and the gutters come off the same calendar.
Across New Jersey, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit in October to early November. At each visit we find something different. In spring the glass carries a pollen film on the south side, and clogged gutters hold pollen paste that blocks the downspout elbows. In fall the leaf load is the main problem, a wet mat that sags the runs and sits against the fascia. Nor'easters across New Jersey can move the dates a little, so we book from what the house looks like, not from the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between visits, so those customers go on a three- or four-month schedule. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses need a closer look. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime on the glass faster than one on a quiet street. We are professional window cleaners and we say so plainly when a house needs more visits than the default.
Windows need professional window cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout, since that overflow is how water damage starts on siding and fascia. Clean glass and clear gutters keep curb appeal up between visits, even though the crew cleans only the outside and not the windows inside. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and book a date.
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 handle window and gutter cleaning for residential properties across Wantage. This page is about houses, and it does not cover residential and commercial buildings in general. We schedule service by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm a time. Lead time is set by the calendar that season, and we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when pollen and leaves land on the house. Those are the times our calendar fills first, so booking early helps. Outside of those windows we usually have openings sooner.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and it cleans every window it can reach from outside, including upper-story panes done from the pole. Every residential window that can be reached gets cleaned, and where a window cannot be reached safely we tell you so and do not guess. The sill below each pane gets wiped as part of the same visit, so the frame and the glass come out clean together. Our goal on every visit is clean windows from the outside, not a half job. To book a visit, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will confirm the date.
Yes, the same crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and we clear the gutters and downspouts first so the runoff does not land on clean glass.
The cost of our washing services on a two-story house depends on its size and how many windows it has, and we give the number by phone or text from those details. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will send a written estimate.
Yes, the outside of the glass is worth cleaning even when the windows inside stay as they are. In Wantage the outside picks up pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those are the things that cloud the glass before anyone sees it from inside. Our crew can remove dirt from the outside of every pane.
Across New Jersey, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and the fall visit in October to early November. Book in those windows and the calendar is easier to hold.
Gutters go first, glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters runs off before anyone touches the windows. That is how our crew works on every house, and it is the reason the glass comes out clean. In one of the condos, check with the association first, since the gutter run may be shared.
Yes, we clean the screens and the sills as part of the visit, and the tracks are wiped where they can be reached. None of that is billed as an extra.
We clean the outside of the windows only on this visit. We do not clean inside the glass and we do not do pressure washing, so the job stays to the exterior.
You do not need to be home. Before the crew arrives, turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
