Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that runs off the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Ohio, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, once the leaves are coming down. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your number before we book.
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.
Our washing services are priced by stories and window count, and we confirm it by phone or text before anyone climbs a ladder. Doing gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. Picture windows and a high window count add time at the glass, and we count every window on the outside before we quote. Gutters nobody has opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing, and the runoff from them tends to hit the glass below. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, and we will tell you that before we start rather than after. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We quote interior and exterior glass as separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only.
On a recent Lemon job, the quote moved because the house had a front porch roof that split the gutter run in two and a window count that doubled once we got to the back. The gutters and downspouts needed a full flush to remove dirt before the glass could be started. The owner had the number in writing before we arrived, and that is the standard we work to. To get your exact number, send a photo of the front of the house by text along with the number of stories and a rough count of windows, and we will come back with the same figure we charge.
| 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 in Lemon book cleanings twice a year, which is why one window and gutter visit with one crew makes sense. Spring and fall are the two windows when the glass and the gutters show the most build-up, and regular cleanings are easier to hold when they are done on that schedule. Keeping up that schedule also protects curb appeal.
In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters and downspout elbows. In fall, the leaf load arrives all at once, and wet leaves in the gutters are the usual cause of water sheeting over the edge in the first hard rain. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates by a few weeks, so we schedule from the house rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts 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 faster than the rest. If your house is one of those, we will say so after the first visit.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water runs over the edge during rain instead of into the downspouts. Either sign is a reason to call, and we will tell you which of the two it is.
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 gutters and exterior windows across the Lemon area and the nearby neighborhoods where our crews have been working. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the number before a slot is held. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and we will take it from there. Quotes for residential and commercial buildings start from the same two numbers, stories and window count. Lead time varies with the season, and the busiest weeks are the two windows of the year when the leaves are heaviest and the calendar fills quickly.
Our crew works with professional window cleaning equipment, and the same pole and water setup handles window washing on the glass and the gutter runs in one pass. Our window cleaning services use cleaning solutions only where a film needs them, and the crew tells you before it starts. The same setup covers multi-story buildings, and condos with shared gutter runs get the scope confirmed before the visit. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Cleaning services like this are easiest to schedule when we know the house in advance, so give us the details up front. Window cleaners who only do the glass often leave the gutters for another visit; we do both, so the water from clogged gutters does not undo the clean glass. Left alone, clogged gutters can lead to water damage at the fascia and foundation, which is one more reason to keep both on the same schedule.
Yes. A window and gutter cleaning is one visit from our crew. The same two people run the gutter clearing and the glass, and gutters go first so nothing runs back onto clean windows.
The number comes from stories and window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and the number of windows, and the figure we quote is the figure on the invoice.
On a residential window job in Lemon, the outside carries most of the grime: rain dust, road film and sprinkler spotting. Windows inside are a separate question, and we do not do them on this visit, so the outside is where the work is.
Across Ohio, the spring visit usually falls late May to June and the fall visit late October to November. Ask us about your house specifically and we will tell you which month works for it.
Not on our jobs. Gutters first, glass last, so the grit and water from the runs drain before anyone touches a window.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on most houses. Hard-water staining needs a separate treatment, and we will flag it before we start.
Neither on this visit. We clean exterior glass only on residential properties, and pressure washing is not part of this bundle.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
