Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the gutters lands on clean panes. 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. On our Lyndhurst jobs, most customers book the pair in spring and fall, so the calendar tends to fill in those two windows. For a residential window job, call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and the window count, and we will send a number you can plan around.
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.
Our washing services are quoted for the whole house. We price window washing and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We look at every window on the list before the number goes out. Gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same visit, and doing both in one visit comes in below booking the two jobs separately, with the exact bundle saving shown on your quote.
On our jobs the things that move the number are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized panes like picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years or 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. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. Our crew flushes each downspout so the water runs clear, and what comes out of the elbows goes in the bag and off the property. The glass gets purified water, so cleaning solutions are not needed on the outside of the panes.
Most of the cost on a typical Lyndhurst house is the time it takes to remove dirt from the runs and the glass, not the water or the trip. A house with mature trees over the roof carries more runoff through the season, and the crew sees more debris in the downspouts than on an open lot. The crew checks that when they arrive.
To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows face the street and the back. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count. We can usually give you the figure on the phone from those three details.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Lyndhurst customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Customers who book regular cleanings usually keep to those two windows. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. Fall brings the leaf load, and a wet leaf mat is what sags a run under the first freeze. Wind and storm seasons can move those dates by a week or two.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, and a house near a busy road or a construction site all put more grit on the panes between cleanings. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and that is a sign the line needs adjusting, not a second clean.
We have had a customer on twice a year with no trees who has never needed more. We have also had customers on three or four visits a year under trees or with sprinkler spotting. Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, and this visit covers the exterior only. After the first visit we tell you which of those your lot actually needs.
Watch for the sign windows need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. Watch for the sign gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a rain, instead of running down the downspout. Either one is worth a call before the next season.
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 work across the city, and our window cleaning services are the same whether the house is on a quiet street or a busier one. Our crew works on residential properties around town, and the window cleaners on the job are the same two people who handle the gutters. We do not use subcontractors for this work. Residential and commercial jobs are quoted differently, so tell us which one you have when you call.
Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we come back with a number and a time window. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year the calendar fills, so it helps to book early.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works from the outside, so you do not need to be in the house while they are up the ladder. For houses with clogged gutters or visible water damage at the fascia, the crew notes it in the photo report so you can decide what to do next.
Professional window cleaning for multi-story buildings is handled with a boom or scissor lift on the taller runs, and the crew stays in contact by phone through the job. Glass and gutters are done in one trip, so the house is not visited twice. Clean glass and clear runs do a lot for curb appeal, and both come out of the same visit.
Yes, it is the same two people. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the work runs in order and nothing from the runs lands on clean panes. You get one visit and one invoice.
We give the number on the phone or by text from the stories and the size of the house, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice. Send a photo of the front and tell us the window count, and we will send the figure back.
Yes, if the outside is what is dirty. Pollen in spring, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside of the glass, and cleaning the inside does not touch any of it. Clean windows on the outside are what most people see from the street, and on our Lyndhurst jobs that is usually where the haze comes from.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, which are the two windows that match the pollen and the leaf load. Book early, because those are the weeks the calendar fills first.
No, if the gutters are done first. When a run is cleared the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall and across the windows below it, so we clear the gutters, flush the downspouts, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included in the visit as well, so there is nothing extra to add to the number we gave you.
Windows inside are not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing on it either. This visit covers exterior glass only, so please book anything else separately if you need it.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
