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 the glass is not dirtied twice. 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, most of the homes we clean are on a spring and fall schedule, and we bring the same process to every 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.
The price for window and gutter cleaning comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The method is the same for a residential and commercial quote. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a window count with picture windows, which are large single panes that take longer to reach and wipe, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Hard-water spots need a separate treatment rather than more cleaning solutions, so that work is quoted on its own. Each of these changes the time on the ladder, so we ask about them when you call. To get the number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with a rough count of stories and windows.
Across Ohio, the houses that cost us the most time are the ones with the most glass and the longest gutter runs, not the ones with the most square footage. We price exterior glass only, so the quote covers the outside of each window and not interior and exterior glass on the same pane. Houses on regular cleanings each spring and fall keep the time on the ladder shorter than a first visit to a house that has gone years without service. We keep track of the window count and the stories so the estimate you get matches the invoice. If something on the roof needs attention beyond cleaning, we photograph it and report it, and you decide what to do next.
| 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 here book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew on one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Ohio, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and in Middletown the fall visit lands in late October to November. On our Middletown jobs, the gutters in spring hold pollen paste and seed, and the south-facing glass carries a pollen film by then. In fall, the leaf load is what fills the runs, and the wet mat is what sags under the first freeze.
Storms and wind seasons move those dates, so we book from what the house needs rather than a fixed day. Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit leave clogged gutters between cleanings, and the downspouts fill up with them too. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Gutters that back up in April, May and June, the wettest months here, can send water down the fascia and cause water damage at the foundation. Multi-story buildings near a busy road or active construction pick up grime faster than the rest of the street.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. When that haze keeps coming back, it is time to call for professional window cleaning. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspouts. Clean glass and clear gutters also do the most for curb appeal, since they are the first thing anyone sees from the street.
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.
Booking with us starts with an estimate by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we can give you the exact number for our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning in one visit. Lead time for a slot is shown in our scheduling, and we will tell you the first date we can come when you call. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and our calendar fills in those weeks, so booking early helps.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside. Gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning are done in the same visit so you are not paying for two trips. We clean every window on the outside of the house that we can reach safely from the ground, the pole, or a boom or scissor lift, and we tell you about any window we cannot reach. Each residential window gets its sill and frame wiped as part of the job.
If you have a residential property with clean windows as the goal, schedule service with us and we will walk through what the crew does on the day. Our aim is to remove dirt from the glass and frames, not just to wipe the surface. For residential properties we also clean gutters on their own, and for larger buildings we book the same visit. If you own a condo, tell us the number of stories and the window count, the same as for a house.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and do the glass last, so runoff from the roof never lands on clean panes.
Our cleaning services are quoted by phone or text, based on the number of stories and the size of the house. We do not give a figure without that information, so call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house.
In Middletown, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Cleaning the inside does not remove those, so the outside is where most of the grime is. Condos get the same exterior service, and it is the outside work that takes the dirt off the glass.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall. Across Ohio, the spring and fall visits are the common times for both jobs, so we plan around those dates.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When the runs are cleared and flushed and the wall has a few minutes to drip, the glass is done once and stays clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the same visit when they are reachable from the outside, and we remove dirt from them as we go.
Our washing services cover exterior glass only. We do not do windows inside on this visit, and we do not pressure wash the siding or the deck.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
