The same two people clean the 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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Across Ohio, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up on the house.
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.
Window washing and gutter work are priced together, by stories and approximate window count, and one visit that covers the gutters and downspouts along with the exterior windows costs less than two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is built from the details below.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones every time. A steep roof or a third story means more ladder time and a boom or scissor lift on some houses. The window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows that take longer to reach from the pole. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles, leaves and grime, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can get to the run under them. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is something cleaning will not remove, and we say so before the visit rather than after. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Clearing a run sends runoff down the wall, so the crew rinses that wall before it leaves, and that is not billed either.
In Marietta, a two-story house with a moderate window count is usually the simplest quote, and the number comes from a photo of the front of the house sent by text along with the stories and the window count. Tell us the number of stories and send one photo of the front, and we will give you the exact figure before we book anything. Part of that figure is the time it takes to remove dirt from the glass and the gutter runs, and the crew will not add a surprise line item on the day, because the quote already counted the runs, the downspouts and every window on the outside of the house. This quote covers exterior work only, since interior and exterior glass are different jobs.
| 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 Marietta customers book the window and gutter work twice a year, in spring and again in fall. Spring visits catch the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters, and fall visits catch the wet leaf load before it freezes. Across Ohio, the spring visit runs late May to June. Across Ohio, storm season brings severe thunderstorms and derechos, and those leave debris on the glass and in the gutters, so the timing moves with the weather. In Marietta, the fall visit runs late October to November, after most of the leaves have dropped.
Some houses need a third visit between regular cleanings. 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 residential window next to a busy road or a construction site picks up a film that a single visit does not keep off. We look at these on the first visit and tell you which schedule your house actually needs, and which cleaning solutions the glass calls for, instead of guessing from the calendar.
You will see when the windows need attention: a haze that only shows up when the sun is low, or clean windows that look dull again within weeks of a visit. You will see when the gutters need attention: water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain. Either sign is a reason to call us, and we can schedule service around the rest of your year.
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 for the professional window cleaning and gutter jobs that come up in Marietta, and we work through the same crew on each visit. Window cleaners who stop at the glass leave the gutter runs for a second trip, and we do both in one visit. Booking starts with a phone call or a text with the stories, the approximate window count and a photo of the house front. The estimate comes back from those details, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season. Book early in those windows, because the open slots go first. Our washing services and cleaning services cover residential properties, condos and multi-story buildings, and the crew uses a boom or scissor lift where a ladder is not safe. The crew checks every window on the outside of the house before it starts, so you know the count before any ladder goes up. Residential and commercial quotes use the same inputs, stories, window count and a photo of the front, so ask about either when you call. Curb appeal depends on glass and gutters that are clean at the same time, which is why we do both on one visit.
We do not do windows inside. The crew cleans the exterior glass and the gutters, and leaves the interior alone. If clogged gutters have caused water damage on a wall, the crew photographs it and tells you what it sees rather than guessing at the cause.
Yes. For a residential window job, the same two people do the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutter runs ends up on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and it counts every window on the outside of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it from there.
On our jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, so the outside is usually where the haze starts. The inside is not part of this visit.
Most of our Marietta customers book in spring and fall. In Marietta the fall visit runs late October to November, after the leaves drop. Across Ohio the spring visit runs late May to June.
No. The crew clears the gutters and flushes the downspouts first, gives the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then cleans the glass, so the water cannot land on it.
Screens are rinsed and the sill is wiped as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included when they are on the outside of the house.
No, this visit is exterior only, because interior and exterior glass are different jobs. We do not clean inside the windows, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
