The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first, glass last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price by stories and approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Ohio, most of our homeowners book the spring and fall visits, and we work from the number on the phone to 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. Booking our washing services and gutter work together costs less than two separate trips, and the window washing rides on the same visit. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew sets the figure from those inputs before the truck is loaded, so there is no second quote once the ladders are up.
What moves the quote on the day is what the crew finds: a steep roof or a third story, oversized panes and picture windows that need a boom or scissor lift, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and seated again, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. If you want interior and exterior glass on one ticket, say so on the call and we will tell you whether it fits. Regular cleanings keep the total down, because a run cleared twice a year holds less grime than one left to build up.
On a recent Brecksville job the owner asked for both the gutters and every window on a two-story house with a wooded back lot. Our crew found the downspouts packed and the glass on the south side coated in a film of dust, and that was the whole difference from the quote given over the phone. To get your exact number, give us the stories, the rough window count and a photo of the front of the house, then call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo to 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.
Most of our Brecksville customers book both twice a year. Across Ohio, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit runs November to early December, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. At the spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters, and at the fall visit it is the wet leaf mat. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we book from what the house needs rather than a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road tends to build up faster, and the residential and commercial jobs we run in the same area show the same pattern. On multi-story buildings the upper runs need more setup, so book more time for a third story. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, because they are mineral and not dirt, and that is a reason to adjust the sprinkler, not to reach for stronger cleaning solutions.
Two signs tell you the windows need a visit: a haze you only see when the sun is low, and streaks that come back after rain. Fogging on the windows inside is a different problem and not ours to clean. Two signs tell you the gutters need one: water sheeting over the edge in a light rain and staining under the run. Clogged gutters that sit through a freeze are how water damage starts at the fascia, so do not wait for the second sign to call.
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.
Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text. Give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the estimate and the date. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so an early call gives you more choice. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and our crew calls before it comes.
Our window cleaning services cover residential properties across the city, and our crew works the same way on every house: gutters first, then the glass. Our window cleaners clean every window on the exterior, including the sill and the frame, and we hand you photos of each run before we leave. Professional window cleaning is what we do, not a side job, so the crew that quotes you is the crew that does the work.
The point of booking early is curb appeal that holds through the season. A house with clean glass and open gutters looks finished from the street, and a schedule service plan keeps that true without a fresh call each time. Tell us the date you want and we will tell you whether it fits.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the exterior glass in one visit, and they work gutters first and glass last. That order keeps dirty water from running back down onto the clean windows.
We do not give a range here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside takes the hit on any residential window. Dust, rain spotting and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass and wash down the frame, so a clean interior does not clear the haze.
Across Ohio, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit runs November to early December. Those are the visits that catch the spring film and the leaf load before they settle into the gutters.
Not when the order is right. Gutters first, glass last keeps the runoff off the panes, which is the reason we do the roof and the runs before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, and the sills are wiped as part of the job. We do not bill them as extras, and we do not do the tracks on this visit.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing, so the inside stays as you have it.
No, you do not need to be home, and owners of condos can book the same way. 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
