Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. Pricing follows the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Ohio, most of our customers book this in spring and again in fall, and Brooklyn is no different.
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 gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Every quote starts from those inputs, whether it is a gutter job, window washing, or a bundle of window cleaning services. Our washing services are billed on the same two inputs, and condos are quoted the same way.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and tall multi-story buildings need a boom or scissor lift, and that adds setup. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years come down heavier, with grit and debris that packs into the outlets, and the runoff from a clogged run spills down the siding. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel. Grime that has baked onto the glass takes more passes, and sometimes the crew has to remove dirt from the sill tracks before the frame is clean. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers sits in the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it and quote a separate treatment if you want it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Brooklyn has its share of older houses with long gutter runs and a fair amount of tree cover, and both show up in the quote. Across Ohio, the same pattern holds: the stories, the window count and what is sitting in the gutters decide the number. When you call, tell us how many stories the house has and send a photo of the front, and we can tell you what to expect before the crew is scheduled.

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.
Across Ohio, most customers book regular cleanings twice a year, for residential and commercial properties alike, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Ohio the spring visit lands in late May to June and the fall visit in November to early December.
In spring we find pollen on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters, and the seed drop has to clear before the downspouts run freely. Sticky residue on the sills needs cleaning solutions, not just a rinse. In fall we find the wet leaf load and the grit it leaves behind. Storm and wind seasons, including severe thunderstorms and derechos across the state, can move both dates, so we confirm each slot when we call.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and our customers under heavy cover are often on every three to four months. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses need the extra pass. Those extra cleanings get booked when the first visit is confirmed. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime on the glass and tends to need a shorter interval.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign is a reason to call before the next scheduled visit. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and this visit covers the exterior only.
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 work across the city and the surrounding Brooklyn area, and our crew knows the houses here. Booking runs by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328, or send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm estimate before we book the date. Lead time depends on the season, and the calendar fills fastest in the spring and fall windows when seed drop and leaf load are heaviest, so an early call helps. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come and again when the crew is on the way. Interior work is not part of the visit, so the windows inside stay as they are.
Our cleaning services cover residential homes and the multi-story buildings in the area, and we bring the same process to each. Professional window cleaning from the crew that clears the gutters means one pass and one set of ladders. When water damage is a concern from clogged gutters, we say so and show you what we found before we leave. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. You get one crew and one bill for window and gutter cleaning.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. A residential window job on a two-story house is quoted by phone or text, so send a photo of the front and we will quote it before we book.
On our Brooklyn jobs the outside carries most of the grime: tree dust on the glass, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. We clean every window from the outside, so the clean windows you see from the street are the ones we did. The inside can stay as it is.
Customers across Ohio book in late May to June for spring and in November to early December for fall. Those are the windows when our calendar fills, so schedule service early and you get the date you want.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. When we clear a run, the grit and water come down the wall, and we only touch the glass once the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and frames are done as part of the job. They are not billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not do pressure washing. Residential properties get the same exterior-only visit, so the interior stays as it is.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Call (866) 435-6328 to confirm the time.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
