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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across New Jersey, most of the homeowners who book us do it in the spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number you pay.
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.
Window cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and each window on the outside counts toward that number. Our washing services follow the same count. Doing gutters and windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the quote: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Baked-on film may not remove dirt in a single pass, and the crew says so before anyone touches the price. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across New Jersey, the quote comes down to getting the exact count. Send us a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the window washing and gutter work will come to. Most of the grime we find on exterior glass sits on the lower panes, and the gutters and downspouts often carry the same runoff onto those panes, so the two belong in one plan. Quotes for residential properties and condos with shared roofs are set by building, not by unit, and we will tell you which kind of job yours is before we set a date.

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 the homeowners who book us do both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
Across New Jersey, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and the fall visit in late November to December. At each spring visit the glass carries a pollen film, especially on south-facing panes, and the gutters hold pollen paste mixed with seed husks. Picture windows show that film first because they are the largest panes. In fall the leaf load is what we clear first, and wind storms and nor'easters can move the dates by a few weeks. Regular cleanings twice a year keep the film from building up between visits, and cleaning solutions stay off the glass as much as possible, since purified water does most of the work. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate treatment, which we flag on the first visit. A house close to a busy road or active construction also tends to need a third trip.
The window sign is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The gutter sign is water sheeting over the edge during rain.
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.
To schedule service, call or text (866) 435-6328 with your number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give you the number on the phone, and the crew calls before it comes. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. Our calendar fills fastest during the two busy windows of the year, so asking early helps.
We bring cleaning services and professional window cleaning to houses with curb appeal in mind, and the same crew handles the gutters so clogged gutters do not send water down the wall. The windows inside are not part of this visit, but the exterior work protects the frames and sills from the water damage that builds up when runoff sits. Each residential window on the outside gets the same care. On multi-story buildings we bring a boom or scissor lift when the house needs one, and the price already reflects it. Our window cleaners work from the same plan for every visit.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we quote it from there.
On our jobs the residential window glass outside collects pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so the exterior needs its own cleaning.
Across New Jersey, the spring visit runs late May to June and the fall visit runs late November to December. Text us if you want a date in one of those windows.
No. We do gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs down the clean windows after the glass is done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the same visit.
This visit covers the outside only, because the interior and exterior glass are separate jobs. We wash every window on the outside that a pole can reach, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. If a building is residential and commercial, say so when you call.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked. Ask for a written estimate if you want the scope on paper first.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
