Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. 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. Across Ohio, our crews run this bundle through the spring and fall seasons, and it is the visit most homeowners here ask for.
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 doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we work it out from those figures before the crew is scheduled.
On the day, the crew finds a few things that move the quote. A third story or a steep roof means more time on a boom or scissor lift. A window count that includes oversized panes or picture windows takes longer per pane. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate matter that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and a rough window count, or call (866) 435-6328. Cleaning solutions for exterior glass are chosen for the surface, and the residential and commercial jobs we run follow the same order of work. Our crew does the interior and exterior of nothing on this visit; we handle the outside only. Ask for the written estimate before you book a date, and the crew will confirm the same figure when they arrive. For most of our Avon customers the figure is settled in one phone call, then the crew books the date.
| 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 homeowners here book both cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and one crew in one visit covers both jobs without a second setup. Across Ohio, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in November to early December, and those are the windows we book most often.
What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and tree dust packs into the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load comes down wet and matted, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag under the winter weight. Across Ohio, severe thunderstorms and derechos can move the dates, so a storm in the forecast is a good reason to call ahead.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings, and 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 more grime on the glass, so those customers book closer together. Multi-story buildings and homes with clogged gutters or a history of water damage at the eaves are on a shorter schedule too. Regular cleanings on a set cycle and professional window cleaning keep curb appeal steady through the seasons.
You will know the windows need attention when a haze shows up only in low sun. Cleaning windows inside the house is a separate job and is not part of this visit. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain.
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.
Window and gutter cleaning is booked by phone or text, and the estimate starts with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our crew cleans residential properties across the city, so the first call is usually enough to settle the date. The lead time is shown on the booking page for your area.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the late spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months keeps the slot you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Gutters are cleared first, then the glass, and the crew sends photos of every run before it leaves.
Every window on the exterior gets the same purified-water finish, including the upper floors and the picture windows, and the sill gets wiped down with the frame. Every residential window gets the same finish as a picture window. Schedule service by calling (866) 435-6328 with the house address and the story count, and we confirm the window count on site. If you want to clean windows for resale or a listing, tell us when you book so the crew can plan the order.
Yes. Our crew does both jobs in one visit, so you do not book separate washing services for the gutters and the glass. We clear the gutters first and clean the glass last so the runoff never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before the crew is booked. The figure we quote is the one on the invoice.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the glass before they ever reach the inside. Cleaning the exterior is how we remove dirt that people see from the street.
Most of our Avon customers book in late spring, once the trees have finished shedding, and again in fall after the leaves come down. Across Ohio the spring visit runs late May to June and the fall visit November to early December.
Not if the gutters and downspouts go first. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit wash down the wall, so the glass waits until the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the frame wipe on the exterior.
No, our window cleaning services on this visit cover the exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home, since the crew works outside and does not come inside. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. If your home is one of the condos in a shared building, tell us when you book so the crew can plan access.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
