Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Ohio, our crews do this bundle twice a year, in spring and fall, to keep the glass and the gutters working together.
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 we charge, and it comes from how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows face the street and yard. Doing gutters and the outside glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, which is the main reason most customers bundle them. Our cleaning solutions and purified water are part of the quote, not a separate line. Here is what we find on the day that moves the number: a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
Most houses we see have a mix of ordinary windows and a few picture windows, and the big panes take more time on the ladder and the pole. Tell us about those when you book. A photo of the front of the house sent by text lets us quote the window count without guessing, and the pollen film and grime we remove on a spring visit look different from what sits on the glass in late fall, so the photo also tells us how dirty the job really is.
For a Fairview Park example, one recent job came in as a two-story house with a steep front roof, a large set of picture windows facing the street, and gutters that had not been opened since the last owner moved out. The quote moved up on the gutter run and the lift time, and the glass was quoted from the window count, not the square footage. That is the kind of detail we ask about first.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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.
Most of our Fairview Park 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 the calendar. In spring the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as a paste, and by fall the leaf load and wet grit have replaced it. Those are the two visits that keep cleaning services from falling behind the season. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts and leave clogged gutters between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime and runoff than a quiet street, and those customers usually come back sooner. Multi-story buildings take longer on the pole and the lift, so height changes the interval as well. Professional window cleaning on a regular schedule keeps the glass from getting so dirty that a single visit cannot bring it back. Most of our repeat customers simply book their regular cleanings for the same weeks each year.
Two customers on the same street show the range. One has no trees and books once a year in late fall. The other has three or four visits a year because of heavy tree cover over the roof and sprinkler spotting on the front windows. Neither one is a rule; the first visit tells you which pattern your lot follows. You will know it is time to call when the windows look hazy only when the sun is low, and when water sheets over the gutter edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. Water that spills over the edge that way can cause water damage to the fascia and siding below. The haze you see through the windows inside is often the outside glass, not the inside. Clean glass also helps curb appeal, so a front window that looks hazy from the sidewalk is worth a call.
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 crews have worked across several Fairview Park neighborhoods, and we will tell you on the phone whether we have cleaned on your street before. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and tell us the number of stories. From there we give you a quote and a window and gutter cleaning slot, usually in the lead time shown for your area. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we arrive.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills in those weeks. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Outside those weeks there is usually more room, and we can often fit a residential window job alongside a gutter run in the same visit. We clean residential properties and the glass on them, including the clean windows on every floor from the ground up, and every window gets the same attention on the same visit. If you have a residential and commercial mix, ask when you call, since this page covers houses only.
Booking a schedule service is the same whether you want the spring cleanings, the fall cleanings, or both. Tell us your stories and window count, and we will tell you when a crew can get to the house and what the number will be on the invoice.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter work are done by the same two people in one visit, and they work gutters first, glass last so the dirty water from the gutters does not run back onto the clean glass.
We do not quote a number from the internet. The price comes from the stories and the window count, and you can get it by calling (866) 435-6328 or by text with a photo of the front of the house. The number we give is the number on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside carries the dust film, rain grime and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Inside glass can look fine while the outside is hazy when the sun is low, and the outside is the side we remove dirt from.
Our Fairview Park customers book in late spring, once the season's heavy rain and dust have settled, and again in late fall after the leaves come down. Across Ohio the spring and fall visits follow the same calendar, so those are the windows to plan around.
Not if the gutters and downspouts go first. When a run is cleared, the leaves and black water come down the wall and across any window below it, so we rinse the siding and let it drip before we touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and we do not bill them as extras.
Not on this visit. Our window washing services cover the exterior glass only; interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and pressure washing is not part of this bundle.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Tell us when you book if the home is one of several condos in a shared building, since ladder access changes the quote.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
