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 booking them as two separate trips. On our Lorain jobs, most customers book this for the spring and fall visits, when the spring film on the glass and the leaf load in the gutters are heaviest.
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.
The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and that holds for window and gutter work booked together. We build it from stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle is priced for one visit, which is less than two jobs booked separately. The crew brings its own water and cleaning solutions, so supplies never show up on the invoice. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized panes and picture windows that take longer to reach, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. We see the same pattern on most of our jobs, so the questions we ask on the phone are about those things first.
What you can do before we quote is tell us the stories, give a rough window count, and text a photo of the front of the house or call (866) 435-6328. If you also want interior and exterior glass done, say so on the phone, since the bundle covers the exterior only and interior glass is quoted separately. Regular cleanings are cheaper to keep up than letting a season build, because the mess sets and the crew has more to clear per run. For a first visit on a house nobody has looked after, expect the crew to spend extra time on the gutters before the glass goes on.
| 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 Lorain customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Our window cleaning services and our window cleaners run on the same calendar for both jobs because the gutters and the glass fill up at the same times.
In the spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows. In the fall, clogged gutters are the usual problem: the leaf load and the wet leaf mat block the runs, and runoff sits behind the fascia until the first hard freeze. Water that sits that long is how water damage starts on the fascia and trim. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we book from what the house looks like, not the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings and houses under heavy tree cover are the ones that most often do. Tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit coming down between visits, and 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 collects more grime on the outside of the glass than the same house in a quiet block. Professional window cleaning is the only way to remove dirt and spotting from those glass panes, which is why we check for it on the first visit.
You will see the sign that windows need cleaning before you see the sign of anything else: haze that only shows when the sun is low, the same haze the windows inside look through every day. Gutters tell you when they need it too, with water sheeting over the edge in a hard rain. Clean glass and clear gutters both do more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
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 Lorain, and we clean residential properties, condos and the occasional commercial building on the same route. Our washing services run on the same crew and the same gear for residential and commercial jobs, so the schedule does not change with the building type. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, where you give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us, and tell us how many clean windows you want done and where they sit. Then we set a date. When the calendar fills, it is usually in the two busy windows of the year, the spring and the fall, so a request in those months takes longer to schedule.
Our crew calls before it comes, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The point of booking early is to get a slot for window and gutter cleaning before the leaves and the haze are at their worst. We aim to schedule service around the weather and the way the house is laid out, so the crew can reach every window and every sill without moving the ladder twice.
Yes. Our washing services cover the roof, the gutters and the outside of the glass in one visit, and the same two people do all of it, gutters first.
We do not give a figure from the internet. Our window cleaning services are priced from the stories and the window count, and we give the number by phone or text before the crew books.
On our Lorain houses the outside carries most of the grime: rain dust and sprinkler spots. The inside can look fine while the outside is still hazy, and cleaning the inside will not remove dirt from the outside of the glass.
Condos and single-family houses on our Lorain route both book in late spring and late fall, when the leaves and the haze have done their damage.
No. We clean gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters is already cleared before the glass is touched.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are part of the job, and none of it is billed as an extra.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior of the glass only, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
