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 jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and the number we give 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.
The price for window and gutter cleaning comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and bundling both jobs into one visit costs less than booking them separately. The number we give you by phone or text is the number on the invoice.
On the day, the crew finds the same few things drive the quote. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs take more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and picture windows take more care than standard glass. Heavy pollen on the glass or packed into the gutters adds a rinse pass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinkler heads will not come off with cleaning. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across New Jersey, we see the same pattern: the houses that cost the most to do properly are the ones where the gutters have gone longest without attention. Getting the exact number is simple. Text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows face the street, and we will quote from that. Our cleaning solutions are the same for every job, and the glass is rinsed with purified water, so nothing is left behind on residential and commercial properties alike. We quote exterior work only, so interior and exterior glass are never priced as one job. Customers on regular cleanings get the same quote each visit, since the stories and window count do not change from one visit to the next.
| 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 West Milford customers book regular cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across New Jersey the timing is the same logic: clean after the seed and pollen drop and again after the leaves are down. Our professional window cleaning follows that same calendar, and the gutter cleaning services we run on the same visit do too. Window cleaners who only do glass skip the gutters, so the order of work matters.
What we find at each visit follows the season. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that blocks the outlets, so clogged gutters are the first thing the crew clears, and the windows pick up the grit that runoff leaves behind. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates by a few weeks.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded, which is how water damage starts at the fascia. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and a house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grime than the calendar suggests. Multi-story buildings are the other common case, since the upper windows and gutters are the hardest to reach. In those cases we tell you what we see and suggest how often the crew should come back. Most of our customers here are on this schedule without any problems, and it is the easiest way to keep curb appeal in good shape.
The windows inside stay out of this schedule, since the crew only works outside. You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will book the next open 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 schedule window and gutter cleaning for homes across West Milford, and our crew works the residential properties in every part of town. Booking is simple: you call or text, we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a written estimate. Each residential window on the house is counted, so the estimate matches the glass we clean. Typical lead time is listed on our booking page, 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 stretches described above. Those are when our calendar fills, so the sooner you schedule service the better your chances of getting the date you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
We aim to clean every window on the outside of the house in the same visit, which means clean windows from the sill to the top sash, so the glass looks even when we leave. If a pane cannot be reached safely from the ground or from our boom or scissor lift, the crew tells you before it leaves rather than guessing. Ready to book? Text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service.
Yes. The same two people handle professional window cleaning and the gutters and downspouts in one visit, and they always do gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the glass clean after the work is finished.
We do not quote a figure without the details. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house to get a written estimate.
Often, yes. Rain runoff, pollen and sprinkler spotting build a film on the outside, so the glass can look cloudy even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside takes off the grime you see from the street.
Our West Milford customers usually book in spring and in fall, and condos follow the same booking. Across New Jersey the same two windows apply, and booking before the rush gives you a better date.
No, as long as the order is right. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves and grit that come off the gutters do not run down onto windows we have already cleaned, and the crew can remove dirt from the glass once.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit when they are reachable from outside.
Exterior only on this visit, because interior and exterior glass are treated as separate jobs and we do not clean the inside here. Our washing services stop at the outside of the house, and we do not do pressure washing. We will tell you if something outside needs a different service.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
