Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff from the roof never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Woodland Park jobs, most customers book it for spring and fall, when the roof and the glass have collected the most.
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 window and gutter cleaning on residential properties by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge when the crew finishes.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer to reach safely. Window count matters on a residential window job, and so do oversized picture windows, which take more time per pane. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, or clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate problem that cleaning alone does not remove, and we say so before we quote it. Cleaning the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Woodland Park jobs, the number usually follows from a short call and a photo of the front of the house, sent by text. We ask how many stories, roughly how many windows, and whether the gutters have been cleaned in the last year. A customer on a two-story house with a normal window count and clear gutters gets a number on the phone that holds on the invoice. A house with a lot of glass, a third story or a long run of gutter under heavy tree cover gets a number that reflects that, and we explain which part of it is the extra time.
The cleaning solutions we use are the same whether the house is a single-family home or one of the residential and commercial buildings we also service, and the crew uses purified water on the glass so it dries without spotting. We keep regular cleanings on the calendar for the houses that need them, and we will explain on the first visit which cleanings your house needs and which it does not. Ask for the number in writing if you want it before you book.
| 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.
On our Woodland Park jobs, most customers book our cleaning services 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 pattern is the same, though the exact weeks shift with the weather.
What we find in spring is pollen. A yellow film builds on south-facing glass, and the gutters carry pollen paste in the elbows and along the front run. In fall it is the leaf load, a wet mat that holds water against the fascia and sends it over the edge in the first heavy rain, and that is how water damage starts. Storm and wind seasons move both dates, so we book from the house, not from the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Multi-story buildings take more time to reach safely, and heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between cleanings. Regular cleanings are how you remove dirt before it sets on the glass. 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 grit that washes down onto the lower panes. We flag these on the first visit and tell you what the next visit should look like.
Two real cases from Woodland Park show the range. One customer with no trees over the house books twice a year and has not needed a third visit. Another, with trees over the roof and a sprinkler line on the front, books three or four times a year and reports that the glass stays clear between visits. Both are on the same calendar; the difference is the house.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low, the kind that shows on the glass at dusk, and it takes away from curb appeal. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, call and we will check it on a visit.
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 have cleaned gutters and windows across Woodland Park, and the booking works the same wherever the house is. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a number and a slot. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, late spring and fall, the calendar fills first. Book early in those months and you keep the date you want.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, so you do not have to leave the house open. If something on the roof or the glass needs more than cleaning, it gets photographed and noted, and we tell you what we saw.
Every window on the outside of the house gets done on the same visit, including the upper stories from a pole, not from a ladder leaned on the siding. Sills are wiped on each pane, and the frames are cleaned along with the glass. We put clean windows on the house in the same pass as the gutters, so the job is one visit, one crew, one invoice.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter work happen in one visit: gutters first, then the outside of the windows. It is the same two people on the same ladders, so you get one arrival and one invoice, and the process works the same on condos.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the number before you book.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up here, and professional window cleaning handles that buildup in one pass. The glass can look clean from inside and still show haze at low sun.
Most of our Woodland Park customers book in spring and again in fall, after the leaves come down. Across New Jersey, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run late October to November, and those windows fill the calendar, so ask early.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. When the gutters go first, the runoff is already gone by the time the glass is washed.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of our window washing services. Tracks and anything beyond the outside glass are discussed before the visit.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside the house are not part of the price, and pressure washing is not included either. Interior and exterior glass jobs are quoted separately, so plan for that when you call.
No, 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, 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.
