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 booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Ohio, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when the leaves and dust build up on the 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 on the phone is the number we charge. We quote from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle saving on a single visit is shown in your estimate. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions are only used on spots that water alone will not lift.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized picture windows, gutters 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 one changes the time on the ladder, so we name it before we start.
Get the exact number by sending a text with the number of stories, a count of the windows, and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will go through it. If your home is one of several condos in a building, say so when you send it, and we will quote only your windows and gutter runs. We will tell you what the cleaning and the gutter run will cost for your building, whether it is a single bundle or a separate visit.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |

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, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Cleaning services that only do glass tend to miss the gutter side, and the runoff from clogged gutters can stain the glass below and lead to water damage on the sill before anyone notices.
What we find in spring is pollen film on the south-facing glass and a paste of pollen in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load that packs the downspouts and the wet mat that sits on the roof. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road all need more frequent attention. On those, the spots that come back a day after cleaning are usually mineral, not dirt, and regular cleanings will not remove them.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain. Clean glass and clear gutters are a big part of curb appeal, so it pays to catch both early.
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.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so book early in those months.
Our crew does window and gutter cleaning on residential properties and on commercial buildings, and the order of work is the same for residential and commercial jobs. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners. Professional window cleaning on a single house or on multi-story buildings follows the same order, and each residential window gets the same treatment, so clean windows are the result whether you have a few panes or every window on the building. A sill that is wiped and a frame that is rinsed are part of the standard job, because that is where the dirt sits that would otherwise run back onto the glass.
Yes. Many window cleaning services stop at the glass, but the same two people do both here, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff from the gutters off the glass we just cleaned.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Send us a text with the stories and a photo of the front, and we will give you the figure by phone or text before we book.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the rain dust and the sprinkler spots. Interior and exterior glass pick up different grime, and the outside is where most of it builds up.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall. Those are the months the leaves and dust build up, so booking early in those months keeps you ahead of the calendar.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When a run of gutters and downspouts is cleared, the leaves and the black water come down the wall, so the glass is done after the gutters are finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, which is how we remove dirt that would otherwise wash back onto the glass. Tracks are included in the visit as well, so you will not see them as a separate line on the invoice.
Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. Our washing services cover the outside glass and the gutters.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
