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. Most of our Kent customers book it in the spring and fall, so the calendar fills in those two windows.
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 stories and the approximate window count, and booking the washing services and the gutters together comes in below booking two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are all part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the ones the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized picture windows and a lot of glass, 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 sprinkler lines that no cleaning removes. Each one adds time, and time is what the quote is built on.
Here is how a recent Kent job came together. A two-story house with a lot of glass and a run of gutters full of grit needed the window washing, the gutter work, and the runoff at the downspouts checked, and the crew found the cleaning solutions it needed on the truck. The quote was built from the stories and the glass, and that is the number that was charged. Clients in Kent often ask us to remove dirt and grime from the lower sills as well, which we do without a separate line item.
To get your exact number, send the stories, the rough window count and one photo of the front of the house by text. Residential and commercial buildings with the same layout get quoted the same way, and condos with shared roof lines are looked at as a single run. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the figure before anyone is on a ladder.
| 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 Kent 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 this calendar. Across Ohio, the spring visit falls in late May to June, while the fall visit is late October to November, and those are the dates we hold our slots for.
In the spring we find pollen on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters, and it has to come out before the summer rain sets it. In the fall we find the leaf load, and the wet mat that sits in the runs by November. Storm and wind seasons, which across Ohio bring severe thunderstorms and derechos, can move the dates by a week or two in either direction.
Some residential properties need a third visit between regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof means the downspouts pack between visits, and houses on the ring of Kent with big trees overhead are on every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a schedule of their own. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets a film on the glass faster than a quiet street does.
One example from Kent: a customer on a street with no trees books the window and gutter visit once a year in late fall and that is enough. A second customer with a sprinkler line on the south wall is on three visits a year, because the spotting comes back between cleanings. Both are scheduled the same way, and both get the same photos of every run.
You will know the windows need it when you see haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Those two signs are more reliable than any calendar.
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 provides window cleaning services and gutter work across the Kent area, and the work is built the same way for every address: an estimate by phone or text, the number of stories, and one photo of the front of the house. Once that is in, we give you a window for the visit. The typical lead time is a programmatic field on each booking, and it is shown when you book.
Booking fills up in the two busy windows of the year, the spring visit and the fall visit, which is when demand for cleaning services is highest. If you can, book outside those weeks, because the calendar is easier to hold and the crew is less stretched. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service at a quieter time. We call before we come, so there is no guessing at the door.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we send the photos of the finished glass and every gutter run before the truck leaves. Clients with multi-story buildings, or houses where clogged gutters have already led to water damage on the trim, should say so when they book, because those jobs need the boom or scissor lift and a longer slot. On the rare job that needs a second crew, we bring in other window cleaners from a professional window cleaning outfit, but the same two people handle the gutters and the glass on most visits.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We do the gutters first and the exterior glass last, so the glass is not washed twice. You get one visit and one invoice for both.
We give the number over the phone or by text, from the stories and the size of the house. We do not quote a figure or range here, because the stories and the glass decide it. Send those and a photo of the front, and you get the exact number.
On a residential window in Kent, the outside is where the film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spotting collect, and that is what dulls your curb appeal. We clean every window from the outside on the visit. Clean windows inside will still look hazy from the outside if the glass is not done, and that is the part we do.
Across Ohio, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and most of our Kent customers book the fall visit in late October to November for the leaves. Outside those windows the calendar is easier to hold. Book a date when the spring or fall pattern starts to show on your glass.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters, flush the downspouts and let the wall dry before we touch any glass. Doing it the other way round means washing the same windows twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior visit. Tracks that are packed with grit are included when they can be reached from outside. Nothing here is billed as an extra line.
Exterior only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs for us, and we do not clean the inside glass on this visit or do pressure washing. Ask us to book those separately if you need them.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers 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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
