Yes, 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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Cleveland jobs most customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, so the crew knows the calendar your house runs on.
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 direct answer is simple: a window and gutter visit is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and roof pitch decide how much rope and lift time a house needs, and window count plus oversized panes, such as picture windows, decide how long the glass takes.
On the day, the crew usually finds the same few things move the quote. Gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with pollen, needles and leaves take longer to clear. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers needs a separate treatment that regular cleaning solutions do not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. A residential and commercial job is quoted on the same stories-and-windows basis, so the number on the phone holds either way. Regular cleanings on a set calendar are quoted the same way on every visit. Exterior work is what we quote; interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and the number on the phone covers the outside only.
Our Cleveland jobs show how this plays out. One customer with two stories, a steep front roof and a row of picture windows had both done in one visit, and the quote moved on the glass count and the lifted guards, as the crew found them in the gutters, with the case linked below. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of your house with the number of stories, and we will give you the exact figure before we schedule anything.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $230 |
| Two stories | from $185 | from $200 | from $310 |
| Three stories | from $240 | from $270 | from $410 |
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 Cleveland customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Window cleaners who only come once a year miss either the spring tree dust or the fall leaf drop. Across Mississippi the spring visit lands in mid to late April and the fall visit in late November to December. Cleveland gets 59.3 inches of rain a year, and the wettest months are April, May and December, so the gutters fill fastest then. Our cleaning services follow the same calendar, and professional window cleaning on that calendar keeps the glass from building up between visits. At each visit we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and sticky paste packed into the gutters in the spring, and a wet leaf mat in the fall that sits against the back run until it rots. Across Mississippi, Gulf hurricanes bring surge and wind to the three coastal counties, and storm season can move these dates a few weeks either way.
Some houses need a third visit. Multi-story buildings, and any house under heavy tree cover, keep needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, so those customers are on every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and clogged gutters that back up over the edge can lead to water damage at the wall line. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than a quiet lot. Those are the cases where we ask you to book sooner rather than wait for the calendar.
You will usually see when windows need it before anyone else does. A haze shows up on the outside of the glass only when the sun is low and hits it at an angle, so the windows inside the house can look clean while the outside has already gone dull. Gutters tell you the same way, with water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Freeze risk is real in Cleveland in winter, so a gutter that is still full in late November is a reason to book the fall visit early. Clean glass also does more for curb appeal than most people expect. If either problem shows up between visits, text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which of the two it is.
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 crew has worked across Cleveland on residential properties, and we schedule each window and gutter cleaning against the stories, the window count and a photo of the house front that you send us. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote, and the estimate takes a few minutes by phone or text, so you can book a date from the same message. Lead time depends on the calendar, so ask us for the next open day when you call. Every residential window on the house is counted from the outside before the quote is set.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know the crew is on the way. Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so if you want a specific date in either window, schedule service early. Every window we clean gets the same treatment, with the sill wiped as well as the glass, and clean windows are the result we are measured on, not the speed of the visit.
Yes. Our crew offers window cleaning services and gutter cleaning in one visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder for the gutters and the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will quote the washing services as one number.
Yes, because what lands on the outside here is tree dust, rain grit, sprinkler spots and grime, and those dull the glass from the outside first. Outside cleaning is how we remove dirt the inside of the glass never sees.
If your home is a condo in a shared building, send a photo of the building front and the number of stories, and we will tell you whether the exterior work can be quoted. Most of our Cleveland customers book in the spring and the fall, and we can tell you the next open date for each.
No. We clean gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters is gone before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleared as part of the job, and none of them is billed as an extra.
On this visit we do exterior glass only, so we do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
