Yes, 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, so the runoff from the roofline never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and two jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Ohio, most of the homes we work on are cleaned in the spring and fall, and that is when our crew does the most visits.
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.
We price residential window and gutter work on residential properties by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing gutters and downspouts with the glass in one visit costs less than booking them as two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Ask for the estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with the stories and a photo of the front of the house.
Several things move the quote, and the crew sees them on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes change the time on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles, grit, grime and leaves, cost more to clear than a run that was cleaned last season. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time, and hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is a separate treatment that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, so the crew will remove dirt from every one at no extra charge.
Across Ohio, the houses we see with heavy spotting or packed gutters are usually the ones where the sprinklers hit the glass or the trees sit over the roof, so ask about those when you call. Send a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us the stories, and we can give you a number that holds on the day. Our window washing and washing services are priced the same way, from what is on the house, not from a list, and our window cleaning services for condos follow the same quote method.
| 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 customers here book both gutters and the outside of the windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Ohio, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. The timing is the same for residential and commercial glass, but this page is about homes.
In the spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. The window and gutter cleaning in spring clears the seed drop before it hardens. In the fall the leaf load is what we clear, and on the houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sagged under ice by March. Storm and wind seasons, the severe thunderstorms and derechos across the state, can move the dates, so we call before we come. We rinse with purified water and no cleaning solutions, so there is no film left behind to catch the next seed drop.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packing between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust that the rain does not wash off. Those are the cases where regular cleanings beat a twice-a-year schedule, and we tell you which of these your house has after the first visit.
You know the glass needs it when you see a haze only when the sun is low, especially on picture windows. You know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. Until then, the twice-a-year rhythm covers most homes here.
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 on residential properties in Galion and the cities around it, and the list of nearby towns is linked below this section. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and tell us the number of stories. We give a written estimate, and the typical lead time for a slot is shown on the booking page. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring tree-bloom season and the fall leaf drop, so book early if you want a set date then.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come. We treat interior and exterior glass as two separate jobs. If you already have a service for the inside of the house, the windows inside stay with them, and we clean every window on the outside of the house along with the gutters in one visit.
Our window cleaners work with the ladder and the water-fed pole for the upper windows, so the glass gets done without a lot of waiting. Professional window cleaning on multi-story buildings means the crew plans the ladder setup first, and we do not guess at the height. We also keep an eye on clogged gutters and water damage around the eaves, and we photograph anything that needs attention. Curb appeal from the street shows the difference between a clean roofline and a dirty one.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows on residential properties in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the work is done in the right order.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure from a list; the estimate is the number you will be charged.
On a Galion house the exterior glass collects the tree seed, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are what dull the panes. Indoor cleaning never reaches that film, so clean windows inside do not change how the outside looks.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, which is when the seed and leaves come off the trees. Across Ohio, the spring visit is late May to June and the fall visit is late October to November.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When the runoff from the roofline runs down the wall, it lands on the glass only if the glass was washed first.
Screens, sills and the tracks are part of the window job and are not billed as extras. We rinse the screens and wipe the sills, and we clean every window on the same visit.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and interior and exterior glass are two different jobs. We do not pressure wash as part of it.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
