Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, so most of our Cincinnati customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when the leaf load is heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and window count for a quote.
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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Oversized picture windows and high multi-story buildings mean more setup. Condos with several stories take more setup than a single house. Gutters and downspouts not cleaned in years come down packed with needles and leaves. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers will not come off with a cleaning. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On one Cincinnati job, the quote moved because of the stories, the window count, and the tree cover over the back run, which had packed the gutters with grime before the crew arrived. The owner had cleared the front by hand and missed the runoff path behind the downspouts, so the crew cleared it and flushed every outlet until the water ran clear. The estimate was built from that same walk-around. Get your exact number by sending a photo of the front of the house by text, along with your stories and window count, and we will tell you what the crew expects to find.
The washing services we provide are the same whether you book gutters, windows, or both. Our window washing and window cleaning services follow the same order of work every time, so the price you are quoted holds on the day. Remove dirt, grime and runoff first, then the glass, and the bill reflects what was done.

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.
On our Cincinnati jobs, most customers book both twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
In spring, what we find is pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall, it is the leaf load and the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs. Glass gets purified water, not cleaning solutions, so it dries without streaks. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we confirm the day before we arrive.
Some houses need more than the regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof means the downspouts pack between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house near a busy road or construction gets a film that builds up faster than average. We look at these on the first visit and tell you which schedule your house needs.
One customer with no trees on the lot is on a yearly fall visit and has been for years. Another with three or four visits a year sits under heavy trees and has sprinkler spotting on the west windows; the crew flags the spots on every visit and the owner has the photos for each run.
You will see haze on the glass when the sun is low and you cannot see it at noon; that is the sign the windows need it. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 to schedule service you book the estimate by phone or text, with your stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time varies with the season, and our calendar fills fastest during the two busy windows of the year, late spring and the fall leaf drop. We call before we come, so you know the day and the window.
Our cleaning services cover residential properties, and the same crew handles residential and commercial work: residential gutter cleaning for homeowners and professional window cleaning for the exterior of multi-story buildings. Our window cleaners work from the ground or a boom or scissor lift, depending on the height of the windows, and they hand-check every outlet for clogged gutters before they touch the glass. Water damage from a gutter that overflows at the corner is the reason we look at the runs first.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and the outside of the house is what gets cleaned. We do not do windows inside on this visit.
Yes. Our crew does both on one visit, so a residential window job and the gutters share one team and one setup. Gutters are done first, then the glass, which keeps dirty runoff off clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, not a standard figure. Call (866) 435-6328 or text your stories and an approximate window count, and we give you the number we will charge.
Yes, because the outside carries the film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up here. Those are on the glass whether or not the inside is clean, and they are what you see from the street.
To schedule service, most of our Cincinnati customers book in late spring and in late fall, after the leaves come down. Those are the two windows where the glass and gutters are most loaded.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters are cleared first, the grit and black water are off the wall before anyone touches the windows below.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped on every window as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are cleaned on the same visit.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, since interior and exterior glass are separate jobs. We do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. 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.
