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 dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Ohio, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up fastest.
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 professional window cleaning and gutter work as two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so you can plan the budget before the crew arrives.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew has to work from a boom or scissor lift, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned 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 removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Ohio, the houses we see with the highest quotes are the ones where the gutters have gone longest between regular cleanings, because the packed debris is the slowest part of any visit. To get an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with a rough count of stories and windows. Gutter cleaning and window cleaning services are often booked together for the same reasons, residential and commercial alike, and the scope is set before anyone climbs 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.
Across Ohio, most of our customers book both cleaning services twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for each season. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and sticky tree residue packed in the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load, and on heavy-leaf years the downspouts clog within weeks of the last clean. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we keep the calendar flexible.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof usually need a third visit, because needles and grit lead to clogged gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass is the other common reason for an extra visit, since those spots come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or active construction also gets dirt on the glass faster than average.
You will see the sign windows need it as a haze that shows only when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout, which is how water damage starts on the wall below.
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 windows and gutters across Kettering and the surrounding residential properties, and most jobs are for a single house, though we also do multi-story buildings and condos when they fit the schedule. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories. We give you the estimate on that call or message, and the crew calls before it arrives. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months gets you a slot sooner. Lead time is set by the current calendar, and we tell you the next open date when you call. We schedule service around the weather, and we do not start a window job in rain or wind that would leave runoff on the glass.
Our crew cleans the exterior of every window on the house from outside, including the sills, and handles window and gutter cleaning for each residential window job in one visit. The glass is rinsed with purified water on a pole, so no cleaning solutions are left to streak. Each job is quoted on the phone, so when you schedule service, you know the number before the day, and clean windows are what you get back.
Yes, our own crew does both. The same two people clean the gutters first and the glass second, in one visit, so there is no second trip and no second setup.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure here because the exact price depends on your house.
Yes, because the outside carries the rain dust and sprinkler spotting that build up between visits, and the exterior glass is where you need to remove dirt most. On our jobs the outside glass is where most of the grime sits, so cleaning it is what changes the curb appeal of the house from the street.
Across Ohio, most of our customers book in late spring, once the spring rush is over, and again in the fall after the leaves come down. Those are the two windows when the calendar fills fastest.
No, we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. When the gutters run first, the leaves and the black water under them come down the wall before anyone washes the windows, so the clean panes stay clean.
Screens, sills and the window frames are part of the exterior job and are not billed as extras. Tracks are cleaned from the outside where they can be reached.
No, we do not clean windows inside the house, and pressure washing or other washing services are not part of this visit. The interior and exterior of a house are separate jobs, and we clean the exterior glass only, from outside the house.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
