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 the approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. We have run this bundle through spring and fall on our Macedonia jobs, so most of the houses we see here already have a schedule in mind.
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 approximate window count. Our window cleaning services and gutter work share one quote, so doing the window and gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs apart. Interior and exterior glass are never priced together here, because this visit covers the outside only. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate before the crew is scheduled.
On our Macedonia jobs the same few things move the quote. A third story or a roof steep enough that the crew works from a boom or scissor lift takes more time than a single-story run. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows, which take longer to reach safely. A single residential window set high on a second story can take as long as several ground-level ones. Grime on the sills and frames adds time, and so does a gutter nobody has opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, which needs more clearing before any flushing starts. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how we get to the exact number. Tell us the stories, the rough window count, and whether the house is a first visit or part of a schedule. Most of our customers here book regular cleanings, and the second visit is usually cheaper per run because the gutters are already clear. The same counting works for residential and commercial properties, so say which one this is on the call. Our cleaning solutions are chosen for the glass, and we use the same method on every window, so there are no surprises on the invoice.

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 Macedonia customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall the leaf load is what we clear first, and a wet leaf mat is heavier than it looks from the ground. Storm seasons across Ohio can move these dates by a few weeks. Many homeowners first search for window cleaners and only later learn the gutters need the same visit, and clear gutters with clean glass together keep curb appeal up from the street.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the gutters between visits, and we see clogged gutters sooner than on an open lot. Multi-story buildings take more setup, since the upper runs and glass are harder to reach safely. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction gets a film on the glass that builds up faster than the calendar. For these properties we suggest a schedule that fits what we actually find, not a fixed number.
Professional window cleaning on a regular cycle keeps the glass from building up to the point where it needs more work, and each visit starts by rinsing to remove dirt before the squeegee touches the pane. The gutters matter just as much, because water damage often starts at the fascia when a run overflows and the runoff soaks the wall below. A customer with no trees and a sunny lot can usually go once a year, while a house under heavy shade may need the spring and fall visit plus one more. You will know which of these describes your home after the first visit.
Watch for two signs. Windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low, and gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either one, the schedule is already overdue.
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 schedule window and gutter cleaning for residential properties across the city. Clean windows and clear gutters come on the same visit, so nothing has to be booked twice, and our window cleaning services cover every residential window on the outside of the house. The gutters and downspouts are cleared before any glass is touched. To get on the calendar, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We follow up with a written estimate, and once you approve it we can schedule service for the next open slot. Lead time depends on the season, so call early in the busy windows.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and that is when our calendar fills first. If you can book before those weeks, you get a date that suits you. We will call before we come, and you do not need to be home for exterior work. We clean every window on the outside of the house, including the sill and the frame, and grime that sits in the frame comes off with the same rinse. There is no reason to split the job across two visits or two companies. If the home is one of several condos under one roof, tell us on the call so the crew can confirm access.
Yes. The same two people do both. They clear the roof and gutters first, flush the downspouts, and do the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters never reaches clean glass.
We do not give a figure on this page. Our cleaning services are quoted from the stories and the size of the house, and multi-story buildings get a look at the roofline before a number is given. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo to get it.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what builds up here, including pollen, rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots. The windows inside can stay as they are, and the outside still needs its own cleaning.
Most of our Macedonia customers book regular cleanings in the spring pollen season and again in the fall leaf drop, so those are the months our calendar fills first.
Not when we do the job. The roof and gutters are cleared and the downspouts flushed before anyone touches a window, so there is no runoff left to reach the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frame is cleaned as part of the exterior work, with the rinse used to remove dirt before the squeegee touches the glass. Downspouts are flushed too, and none of this is billed as an extra.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only. Our washing services stop at the outside glass, so interior glass and pressure washing are not part of this job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
