Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across New Jersey we have found that most homeowners who book window washing want the gutters done in the same visit, and that is the job we are set up to do. Spring and fall are the seasons when most of our crews are on these jobs.
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, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and 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 higher count of window panes or oversized glass, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Where cleaning solutions are needed for hard-water film, we say so before the crew starts. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number and a date.
When we give a West Windsor number, we ask for three things: how many stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Those three tell us how long the roofline and the glass will take. A professional window cleaning job on a house with heavy tree cover can take longer than the same window count on an open lot, because the gutters carry more debris, and that shows in the number. The same is true of a house where the sprinklers hit the glass, which leaves spots that come back the next day. Gutters that overflow for years can also cause water damage behind the fascia, and the crew checks each outlet for that.
On one West Windsor job, the quote moved up because the back run was on a walk-out and sat two stories above the patio, with the same grit packed in every downspout. A second house on the same street was quoted lower for the same window count because the gutters had been done the spring before. Ask us for the exact number from your own stories and glass, and we will explain what moved it.
| 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 Windsor customers schedule service for both twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In late May or June we find pollen film on every window facing south and pollen paste in the gutters. In late October or November we find the leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sagged under ice by the next winter.
Some houses need a third visit, and we tell you which ones on the first call. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack 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 more dust on the sills and the screens. Those three cases are where we suggest regular cleanings between the usual visits.
The sign windows need it is a haze you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If you see either one, call us and we will tell you what the house is doing.
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.
Booking for our cleaning services starts with a phone call (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the number before we set a date. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen period and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills first. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Across West Windsor our crew provides window cleaning services for residential properties, mostly single-family homes. We also handle lower-rise buildings and multi-story buildings, including the condos where the outside glass is the first thing residents see. The washing services are booked with the gutters, and we clean the gutters and downspouts with the same crew on the same visit. The water runoff from the roof gets checked at each outlet so nothing reaches the glass.
We book residential and commercial work, and if you have a larger building with more glass to remove dirt and grime from, ask for a separate estimate by the building.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the ladder. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so the debris does not land on clean windows.
We do not give a figure in writing. The number comes from the stories and the approximate size of the house, and you get it by phone or text.
On our West Windsor jobs the outside carries the pollen in spring, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are the things that take the curb appeal down even when the windows inside are clean.
Most of our customers here book in late May or June and again in late October or November. Those are the months we run our heaviest calendar.
Not on our jobs. We clean the gutters first and rinse the wall, then do the glass, so nothing runs back onto it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Picture windows get the same exterior treatment, and tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, and this visit covers exterior glass only. We do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
