Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your 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. Across Ohio, most of our customers book this bundle in spring and fall, so the calendar tends to fill at those times.
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.

On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones every time. A third story or a steep roof changes how long the crew spends on the ladder, and so does a window count that includes oversized panes or picture windows. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned under them, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
When you call (866) 435-6328 or text us, tell us the number of stories and a rough window count, and send a photo of the front of the house. That is usually enough for us to give you an exact number before anyone climbs a ladder. Our window cleaning services cover the outside of the glass on this visit only, so interior and exterior work is never folded into one quote. The regular cleanings we do keep the exterior grime from building up between visits, and the window washing and washing services we provide are scoped to the outside. Our Cleveland Heights customers have seen the number land where we said it would, because the questions we ask up front are the same ones the crew needs answered on the day.

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 of our customers book both twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and one crew doing both in one visit makes that schedule simple to keep.
In spring, the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste builds up in the gutters, especially around the downspout elbows. Pollen and leaf load hit residential and commercial buildings alike, so the timing below applies to both. In fall, the leaf load is the main issue, and wet leaves in the gutters sag the runs over the winter. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a little, so we look at the house each time rather than going by the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts more debris into the gutters between visits, and clogged gutters that back water onto the siding are a common route to water damage. Cleaning solutions cannot fix a sprinkler line that hits the glass, so spots that come back a day after cleaning need a separate look. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the glass and in the gutters, and multi-story buildings catch more of it on the upper windows.
You will usually notice when the windows need attention, because there is a haze you only see when the sun is low. Windows inside are not part of this visit, so a haze on that glass is a separate job. Gutters tell you when they need attention too, when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspouts.
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 clean gutters and exterior windows across the city, and we book a slot once we have the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Typical lead time depends on the season, so ask us when we can come when you call. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know when to expect the crew.
The busy windows are the spring and fall stretches when our calendar fills, so if you want a slot in those months, it helps to get in touch early. The cleaning services we offer are scoped to the outside of the house, and our window cleaners work from the ground and with a water-fed pole where they can reach. A professional window cleaning visit covers every window we can reach safely and reports the rest. Good curb appeal comes from clean glass and clear gutters working together, which is why we do them in one visit. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the crew.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, because debris from the gutters runs down onto clean panes below.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, so we give it by phone or text. Condos are quoted by the same count, so if the building is a condo, tell us the number of stories and windows when you call. Send us a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the figure before we book.
Yes. On a residential window, the outside takes the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up here. The inside can stay as it is, but the outside is what the weather works on.
Most of the residential properties we clean book in spring and fall, when our calendar fills. Get in touch early in those months and you are more likely to get the slot you want.
No, as long as the gutters and downspouts are done first and the glass last. Clearing a run sends leaves and grit down the wall, so the glass has to wait until the downspouts are flushed and the runoff stops.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included where they can be reached from the ground, and the crew uses the water-fed pole to remove dirt from them.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows or do pressure washing as part of this service.
You do not need to be home, since the crew works outside and does not come in. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while 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.
