Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price both jobs by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing them together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew does this work across Ohio every spring and fall, and the exterior glass and gutter runs come down in one morning for most houses.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge when the crew finishes, for each of the cleanings we book, and the quote holds unless the house turns out to be different from what you described. The same pricing method applies to residential and commercial buildings.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a roof too steep to walk adds time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high row of panes add setup. Gutters nobody has opened in years, or packed with seeds and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior glass is not in the quote, so a request for interior and exterior cleaning is priced as its own job.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough window count. Sending the photo lets the crew see the roofline, the pitch and any guards before it arrives, so the quote on the phone matches the work on the day. Our crew sends the same photos back to you after the job, so you can check each run against the estimate. Regular cleanings on the same house use those photos to set the next quote. Where the film needs more than water, the crew uses cleaning solutions on the frame.

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 Berea customers book both jobs with the same window cleaners twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen drops and once in the fall after the leaves come down, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. We find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows, and the leaf load shows up in the gutters once the trees turn.
Multi-story buildings and homes with heavy tree cover over the roof usually need a third visit. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and the grit from big trees packs the downspouts between visits. A house close to a busy road or active construction also tends to collect more film, and rain alone does not remove dirt from the glass, so those customers book closer together. Professional window cleaning on this schedule keeps the glass clear enough that the house keeps its curb appeal through the season.
Windows need a visit between cleanings when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Gutters and downspouts need one when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Left too long, clogged gutters let water sit against the fascia and that is how water damage starts.
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 schedule service by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text once we have the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead times depend on the season, and our calendar fills fastest in the spring and fall windows when pollen and leaves are heaviest, so book early if you want a particular week. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our window and gutter cleaning, washing services included, covers the residential properties we work across the Berea area, including condos, and we clean every window on the exterior of the house in the same visit. Screens come down, get rinsed and go back up, and sills get wiped as part of the job. We aim to leave clean windows and clear downspouts behind us, with the runoff from the gutters rinsed away before the glass is touched, and we send photos of the finished runs before the crew leaves. If you have a residential window or gutter run that is hard to reach, tell us when you book so the crew brings the right setup.
Yes. Our crew cleans gutters and downspouts and does the glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty runoff from the gutters never lands on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and the window count, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the figure before anyone is booked.
Usually yes here, because the outside takes the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and condos get the same outside treatment as houses. The inside glass stays clean on its own, but the outside picks up grime between visits.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, after the pollen drops, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Booking early in those windows gets you the slot you want.
No. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and debris from the runs are rinsed away before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are taken down, rinsed and put back, and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side.
Our washing services cover the exterior glass, gutters and downspouts only. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and pressure washing is not part of this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
