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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book the work in the spring and in the fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, and it is built from those inputs and nothing else. Some window cleaners quote by the pane, but our number comes from the residential window count and the stories, and gutters and downspouts are cleared on the same visit, so the price covers both. The same inputs apply to residential properties of every size. Pure water does most of the work to remove dirt from the glass, and cleaning solutions come out only for frames with grime that water alone does not lift. Some companies bundle interior and exterior glass into one price, but this quote covers the outside only. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote. A third story or a roof steep enough that the crew cannot walk it adds set-up time. A window count that runs high, or oversized picture windows, takes longer on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes, so we say so before we start.
Our crew has cleaned houses where the quote came in higher than the caller expected, and the reason was almost always the same: stories and window count were not in the first estimate. To get the exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows face the street, or call (866) 435-6328. We will come back with a figure and the reasons behind it, before anyone is booked.
| 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.
Across New Jersey, most of our customers book gutters and exterior windows in the spring and in the fall. Spring visits run late May to June, and fall visits run late October to November. One crew in one visit covers both, and most customers book two cleanings a year. In spring, pollen film sits on south-facing glass and pollen paste packs the gutters and elbows. In fall, it is the wet leaf mat and the first heavy rain that shows which downspouts are clogged, and clogged gutters are the first thing we clear.
Some houses need a third visit beyond the regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof brings needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a haze that the rain only moves around. We see the same pattern on multi-story buildings with many panes, where the upper floors pick up runoff that the lower floors never show.
Two signs tell you it is time. Windows show a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters show water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout, which is the first step toward water damage at the fascia. If you see either, book the next visit instead of waiting for the calendar. Clean glass and clear gutters also keep curb appeal up between visits. Our window cleaners are the same two people who clear the gutters, so the call goes to the same crew.
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 residential window and gutter cleaning across the Wayne area, and booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm a date and a two-hour arrival window. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you are never surprised by a truck in the driveway. The crew never cleans the windows inside the house. Our professional window cleaning and gutter work, along with the washing services on the outside of the house, is booked as one job, so one booking covers both. Houses and condos are booked the same way. If you manage a residential and commercial property, call (866) 435-6328 and we will say whether the crew can take it.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and the fall, the same periods when pollen and leaves build up, and our calendar fills quickly then. Book early in those months to schedule service on the date you want. Every window on the house is reached from the outside, including the upper stories, so you get clean windows on every floor without the crew going inside. Each pane, frame and sill gets the same treatment before the crew moves on.
Yes, the same crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing them together keeps the runoff from the gutters off the windows we have just cleaned.
We do not give a range here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you get it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text.
On our Wayne jobs the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those build up even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside helps remove dirt and the grime that settles on the glass between visits.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the pollen drop finishes, and in the fall, after the leaves come down. Across New Jersey the spring and fall windows are the busiest.
No, we clear the gutters first and wash the glass last. If the glass goes first, the runoff from the gutters leaves streaks that someone has to wash again.
This page covers residential work, which includes houses and condos in Wayne. For any other property, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you whether the crew can take it.
The quote covers exterior glass only, so this is not interior and exterior work, and the windows inside stay as they are. Our washing services on this visit stop at the outside of the glass, frames, sills and gutters, and pressure washing is not part of the job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
