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 falls back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and booking both in one visit costs less than two separate trips. On our Alliance jobs, most customers book this in spring and fall, once the pollen and leaves have settled, and the number we quote by phone is the number on the invoice.
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, 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. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the cleaning solutions are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and this visit covers the exterior only.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote: a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked, window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. A window and gutter bundle on a house with a lot of glass takes more time than a plain run, and we say so before we start.
People ask for the bundle when they have picture windows that show the spring film, or when regular cleanings have fallen behind and the gutters have started to overflow. A missed cleaning costs more at the next visit, because the buildup is heavier by then. What we need from you to get the exact number is the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text that photo and we will give you the number before you book a date.

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.
Many houses book both as cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Ohio, the spring visit tends to land in late May to June, after the pollen film has built up on south-facing glass and the gutters have filled with the season's debris. The fall visit runs late October to November, when the leaf load is heaviest and the glass has the film of the season on it.
At each professional window cleaning visit we check the same things: the spring film on the south glass, the tree residue in the elbows, the leaf mat, and the storm or wind damage that moves the dates. Across Ohio, severe thunderstorms and derechos can drop debris into the gutters between visits. Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, often need a third visit, because the spots return a day after cleaning. Houses near a busy road or new construction also collect grime faster than the rest. Multi-story buildings take longer because the crew needs the right reach for every window, and a neglected run can end up as water damage.
Haze that only shows when the sun is low is the glass asking for a visit, and it can look like a problem with the windows inside, though it is usually the outside. Water sheeting over the edge in rain is the sign that clogged gutters need clearing. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you which schedule your house actually needs after the first 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.
Our crew does residential window and gutter cleaning in Alliance, and we serve residential and commercial customers across the area, including residential properties with several stories. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. The lead time depends on the calendar, and we will tell you the next open slot when you call.
The calendar fills fastest in the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months gets you the date you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We want to clean every window on the outside of the house and leave the gutters flowing, which is what a schedule service is for.
Text a photo of the roofline or the front of the house to start the estimate, or ask for a written estimate before you book a date. Our crew will schedule the visit around the sill and tracks, the picture windows, and any runs that need extra time.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff does not land on clean panes.
We do not give a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text.
Yes. The outside takes the spring film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and that grime sits on the glass whether the windows inside are clean or not. Clean windows on the outside help curb appeal, and a visit to remove dirt is the quickest way to get there.
Across Ohio, spring visits tend to land in late May to June, and the fall visit runs late October to November, before the first hard freeze.
No, we do gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so the water and debris are cleared before anyone touches the windows.
Our washing services cover screens, sills and tracks on the exterior side, and we do not bill them as extras.
We do exterior windows only on this visit, so we do not clean the inside or do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in one of the condos, call ahead so we can confirm access before the day.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
