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 done together cost less than two separate trips. Our crew is out on Howland homes every spring and fall, and most of our customers here book the bundle for that reason.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, so you know the figure before the crew is on the ladder.
On our jobs, a handful of things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add to the glass work. Gutters nobody has opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before any water runs through them. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone does not remove, and we say so before we start. Where a pane needs more than water, the crew uses cleaning solutions on it, and pollen film is the usual reason. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, though interior and exterior glass are priced as separate jobs.
For a homeowner, the fastest way to get an exact number is to tell us how many stories the house has, roughly how many windows face the street and the yard, and text us a photo of the front of the house. A window and gutter cleaning on a two-story home in Howland is usually quoted from those three things, with the leaf load on the gutters taken into account. Our crew also flags any picture windows or high panes on the first call so the price reflects the real work. Terms like residential and commercial come up when people compare quotes, but this page only prices houses. Most people who book regular cleanings get the same quote on each visit, because the stories and glass do not change. Cleanings are quoted from the stories and the glass before the date is set. Ask for a written estimate if you want the scope on paper before you book a date, and call (866) 435-6328 to set one up.

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 Howland customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, in late spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew on one visit makes sense for them. Plenty of window cleaners book glass and gutters on separate trips, and we do not. In the spring, the film on south-facing glass and the paste in the gutters are the main load to clear. In the fall, the leaf load is what fills the runs and sits on the sills.
Cleaning services of this kind keep pace with the seasons only when the schedule matches what the house is collecting. Regular cleanings on a set cycle keep grime from building up on the exterior, and professional window cleaning keeps the curb appeal you bought the house for. Each visit is meant to remove dirt and pollen film before they bake onto the glass. The windows inside the house are a separate job and stay off this schedule. Storm seasons across Ohio can move the dates, so we confirm the window before each visit rather than assuming the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters on those roofs fill faster than the spring and fall schedule allows. Clogged gutters that overflow can also lead to water damage at the fascia and along the sill below. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, which is a sign the water is hard and the glass needs a mineral treatment. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects dust on the frames that can wash down onto clean panes. Multi-story buildings and homes with picture windows high up also tend to need a closer look. We set the frequency after the first visit, once we have seen what the house actually carries.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspouts. Either way, call (866) 435-6328 and we will schedule a visit.
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.
We clean residential window and gutter jobs across Howland; window and gutter cleaning is one visit, with the crew working the same way on every street. To schedule service, call or text for a phone estimate that takes your number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the appointment window before the crew leaves the yard. Gutters and downspouts get cleared before any glass is touched, and the crew gives you the slot when you book so the date is real, not a guess.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and that is when our calendar fills fastest. If you want a specific date in those months, book early. Outside those windows, schedule service is easier to fit around your week, and the crew can often work on the day you prefer. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside the house.
Our window cleaning services cover every window on the exterior of a home, including the upper stories done from a pole, along with the frames and sills. Our washing services are scoped to the outside of the house, so the crew does not step inside. Residential properties in Howland get the same care as the rest of our jobs, and we keep the glass clean and the gutters flowing so the house looks cared for from the street. If you want clean windows and clear gutters on the same visit, that is the job we are set up to do.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, and they work gutters first and glass last so nothing dirty lands on clean panes.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. Tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows, and we will give you the number by phone or text before you book. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count, once we see the glass and gutters.
Usually yes. The outside carries the tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up in Howland, and those stay on the glass even when the rest of the house is in good shape.
Spring visits across Ohio run late May to June, and in Howland the fall visit runs October to early November, so those are the months our calendar fills first.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. Runoff from the gutters and downspouts being cleared carries leaves, grit and black water down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall stops dripping.
The sills are wiped as part of the job. Screens are taken down, rinsed by hand and put back, and tracks are included in the visit.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, so the windows inside stay as they are, and our washing services stop at the outside of the house. We do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
