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 the glass is not dirtied twice. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Ohio, most of our customers book this in the spring and in the fall. Call (866) 435-6328, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
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.
The direct answer is this: we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle done in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. We give no figures here, because the starting price is set by the size of the house and the work it needs. The same method covers a residential and commercial building, and the window and gutter quote is built from the same numbers, though the crew confirms the scope before quoting.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the crew's own findings on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means a boom or scissor lift and more time. Oversized panes and picture windows take longer per pane than standard glass. Pollen caked on the glass in spring takes more time than a regular rinse, and the crew uses cleaning solutions only where grime will not come off with water alone. Gutters not cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves to the elbow, take longer to clear and to flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, because cleaning does not remove it. Customers on regular cleanings usually see a shorter visit, since less has built up between them. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our quote covers the exterior only, and interior and exterior work is a separate estimate.
On a house with a lot of glass, the quote moves mostly on the window count and on a rear run that needs flushing twice before the water runs clear. We always write down what we found, and we send the photos before we leave. If you text us a photo of the front of your house, along with the number of stories and a rough window count, we can tell you what to expect before anyone climbs a ladder. Ask for a written estimate and we will put the number in writing.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |

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 jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. The spring visit runs late May to June, after the pollen has come down, when the glass carries a film on the south side and the gutters hold a damp paste of plant debris. The fall visit runs late October to November, when the leaf load is the main job. Freezing is a real factor here, and the snow months run December through March, so the fall visit lands before the cold sets in. Storm and wind seasons, which bring severe thunderstorms and derechos across Ohio, can move those dates, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters are usually the reason water sheets over the edge. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster than the rest. Cleaning services like ours are the same job on any of these houses, but the schedule is different. Multi-story buildings need a boom or a longer ladder setup, so those visits book a longer slot.
Windows need a cleaning when the haze shows up only when the sun is low, and gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in rain. Those are the two signs we look for when a customer asks whether it is time. Plenty of window cleaners treat the glass as a once-a-year job, but for a house with sprinkler spots, twice a year is more practical. Professional window cleaning on a set schedule keeps the glass from building up between visits. Duchouquet averages 41.2 inches of precipitation a year, and the wettest months are May, June and July, which is when water damage starts if a gutter is still full. Cleaning windows inside does not fix haze that comes from outside, and clean glass with clear gutters does more for curb appeal than most owners expect. Our crew does not give do-it-yourself instructions here, because a ladder on a wet roof is the kind of job we would rather do for you.
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 with us starts with an estimate by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our window and gutter cleaning is built for a residential window on a single-family house or a townhouse, and we handle clean windows and gutters in the same visit, so the route is planned around every window and every run before the truck leaves. The sill on each window gets wiped as part of the job.
The calendar fills up in the spring and the fall, so a slot in late May or late October goes first. Once you have the estimate, we schedule service for a date that works for you. We take residential properties on the whole, and the crew can tell you on the phone whether a particular street has been on our route before.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning are done by the same crew, and gutters go first, then the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text.
On a Duchouquet house, the outside carries rain dust, sprinkler spots and the grime that runoff leaves on the glass, and the inside never sees any of it. Our crew can remove dirt from every exterior pane with the water-fed pole, so the outside is where most of the dirt sits.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, and the calendar fills in those months. Across Ohio, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run late October to November.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing from the gutters and downspouts runs onto glass we have already washed.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of our washing services, and we do not bill them as extras.
No. On this visit we clean the outside of the glass only, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing. Condos get the same exterior work, but the windows inside stay out of our visit.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
