Window and gutter cleaning in Fairborn is one visit here, with the same two people on both jobs. Gutters and downspouts come first and the glass last, so nothing from the roofline ends up on clean windows. Every window gets the same attention, because clean glass does a lot for curb appeal. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Ohio, most of our customers book spring and fall, and that is the rhythm we work to on every street we clean. Call (866) 435-6328 to get a number for your house.
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 number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We build it from how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries, and if you book gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning in one visit, the bundle is cheaper than paying for two separate jobs. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. The method is the same on residential properties of any size.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are steep roofs and third stories, picture windows with oversized panes, gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Each of those takes crew time, and we would rather tell you about them before the truck rolls than after.
Window washing on the outside of the house is a straightforward part of the job. Our washing services run on purified water, and our window cleaning services follow the same method, so the panes dry clear and streak-free without cleaning solutions. Every residential window gets the same method. The frames get rinsed first to remove dirt that would otherwise wash down the glass. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit. What we do is tell you what the gutters are carrying, because grime and runoff from a clogged run is usually what has been streaking the bottom panes. The number is built from what we see, so send a photo of the front and the stories, and you will hear back with a figure before anyone schedules a date.
For the experience side: on the Fairborn houses we have cleaned, the quotes that run higher are almost always the ones with heavy tree cover, where the gutters need a second look and the glass picks up more dirt between visits. Condos with a shared gutter run are quoted the same way, by stories and window count. Getting the exact number starts with the basics, the stories, the window count, and one photo of the front of the house sent by text.

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 window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and on our Fairborn jobs the pattern holds. Both run on the same calendar, so one crew in one visit makes sense for most houses.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters, especially at the elbows where the downspouts turn. In fall, the leaf load arrives all at once, and the wet mat sits in the runs through the first hard freeze. Storm and wind seasons can shift those dates, so we book by what the house is carrying, not only by the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after cleaning, which is mineral, not dirt. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects haze faster than one in a quiet cul-de-sac. Houses with picture windows show haze faster than most, so regular cleanings every six months suit them better than a once-a-year visit. The method is the same for residential and commercial glass, so the calendar logic holds for both. We will tell you which of these applies to your house after the first visit.
Some customers ask for interior and exterior glass together. On this visit we only do the outside, with purified water and no cleaning solutions.
You will know windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady 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.
Our crew works across Fairborn, and to schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front. You tell us the number of stories, and we come back with a written estimate and a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you are not waiting on a truck you did not expect.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so the sooner you call, the more date options you will have. Booking outside those windows usually leaves more room, and it is the right time for a first visit if the gutters have not been cleaned in a while. A clean set of windows also helps curb appeal before a late-spring or early-summer listing, so that is a good window to book.
Our professional window cleaning follows the same order on every job, gutters first, glass last, and it covers the outside only, so windows inside stay out of the visit. We offer window cleaning services for homes that need one visit or a regular schedule, and our window cleaners do not change the order for multi-story buildings. If clogged gutters are already sending water toward the fascia, we photograph it and tell you before we clean, because it can point to water damage that is worth checking sooner rather than later.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit here, gutters first and glass last, so you are not paying for two trips.
We do not give a figure in writing without seeing the house. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front by text, and we will quote the exact number. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328.
Yes. On a residential window in Fairborn, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. On a window and gutter cleaning visit, cleaning every window on the outside keeps the panes clear, so the clean windows from the street look as sharp as the view from your living room.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, and that is when our calendar is busiest, so calling early gives you more choice of date.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass, so the runoff has nowhere to land on panes we have already done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job on residential properties. Tracks are included in our standard visit on most houses, and we will note any that need more time before the crew arrives.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Cleaning the windows inside is not part of the job, and we do not do pressure washing, so the crew stays on the outside of the house.
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.
