Our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning run on one crew and one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters and downspouts lands on clean windows. We price the job 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 this work in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up fastest. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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 washing and gutter work comes down to two things we can see from the driveway: stories and approximate window count. Our washing services and cleaning services are quoted per house, so give us those two numbers, or text a photo of the front of the house, and we quote the job before the crew is scheduled. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Bundling both jobs into one visit costs less than two separate bookings, and the saving shows up in the quote itself.
What changes the number on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more equipment and more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and large panes take longer per pane than standard double-hungs. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years come down heavier, with grime and packed debris, and we haul it away rather than blowing it onto the lawn. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Runoff from a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves mineral spots, and cleaning will remove dirt but not the mineral etch, so we tell you that before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Condos and townhouses with shared gutter runs get the same stories-and-window-count quote, so tell us which runs are shared when you call.
Here is what we have seen. On one Westwood job the quote moved because the house had two stories plus a finished basement, a wide front run, and a sprinkler line that had left spotting on the south glass; the crew priced the glass work separately from the gutters and gave the customer one total, which is how we quote every bundled job. Your number will come from your own house, so the most useful thing you can do is send us the stories, the window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text before we talk.

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 Westwood customers book window and gutter cleanings twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew on one visit makes sense. Across New Jersey, the spring visit falls in late May to June, when it clears what pollen and seed left behind. In Westwood the fall visit runs November to early December and clears the leaf load before the first hard freezes.
What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In the spring, pollen forms a yellow film on south-facing glass and a paste in the gutters, and the elbows of the downspouts pack with seeds. A plain rinse leaves that film behind, so the crew uses cleaning solutions on spring glass. In the fall, the leaf mat is the problem, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often find runs sagging under the weight of wet leaves and ice by late winter. Storms and wind seasons, including the nor'easters that hit the state, can move both visit dates by a few weeks depending on the year.
Some houses need a third visit beyond the regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit reach the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line aimed at the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A large picture window on the south side collects the film fastest. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects grime faster on the glass. When we see those conditions, we suggest a third visit and say why.
Residential and commercial buildings both show the same signs. You will know the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a hard rain instead of running down the downspout. If you also want interior and exterior glass done, tell us when you book, because the interior is quoted separately.
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.
Our cleaning services cover gutters and exterior windows across Westwood on the same schedule, and we run the calendar so the busy stretches in spring and fall do not leave you waiting for a slot. Booking starts with the estimate: to schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a quote and a date. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the first open date when you call rather than guessing.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and windows inside are not part of the visit. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come. If the calendar is full in the two busy windows of the year, we offer the closest open date and hold your place on the list for a cancellation. Our window cleaners and the gutter crew are the same two people, so there is one schedule and one invoice. We serve professional window cleaning clients, residential customers, and multi-story buildings that need their glass and gutters on one schedule, and the same crew handles all three.
Clogged gutters can lead to water damage at the fascia and the wall below, so we flag any run that looks like it is overflowing and photograph it for you. For clients with curb appeal on their mind, clean glass and clear runs make the front of the house look better in one visit. We keep the scope tight, which is why we say up front that interior glass and pressure washing are not part of this visit.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the runs do not drip onto windows we have already washed.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. To schedule service, text us the stories and a photo of the front, and you get the quote before anything is booked.
For a residential window, the outside carries most of the damage: pollen film, rain dust, and sprinkler spots, none of which the inside cleaning touches.
Most of our customers book in late spring and in late fall, once the pollen and leaves are down. Book a date with us when you call and we hold it.
Not with our order of work. We clear the gutters, flush the downspouts, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass, so nothing from the runs reaches the clean windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and every window gets the same pass. Tracks are cleaned on request and quoted by the window count.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only on residential properties, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Text a photo of the roofline if you want us to look at it before we come.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
