Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our customers here book it each spring and fall, which is why we keep the schedule set up that way. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house for an estimate.
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.

What moves the quote on our jobs is usually what the crew finds once it is on the ladder. Stories and steep roofs take longer to walk and reach. Window count matters, and so do picture windows, the oversized panes that need a boom or scissor lift to reach safely. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come with packed seeds and leaves that take longer to clear, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only.
On a typical two-story house in town, the crew clears the gutters and flushes every downspout, then works every window that can be reached from the outside. The grime on a south-facing front is different from what sits on the back of the house, and that difference shows up in how long each side takes. Runoff from the roof carries dirt down the wall, so we clear the gutters before the glass to keep it off the panes. We remove dirt from the frames and sills as we go, not as a separate pass. Window washing covers the glass, and our washing services do that part, but the gutters and downspouts are the other half, and they are where most of the water damage starts when they are left alone. A professional window cleaning on a two-story house is a morning's work, and our window cleaning services rinse with purified water rather than harsh cleaning solutions.
To get your exact number, count the stories, estimate the window count, and send a photo of the front of the house. We will tell you what it comes to and what would change it.

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 two cleanings a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Across Ohio, the spring window runs late May to June, and our fall visit runs October to early November, after the leaves come down.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters, and the downspout elbows clog first. In fall, the leaf load is the problem, a wet mat that sits in the gutter and backs water up under the shingles. Across Ohio, severe thunderstorms and derechos move these dates a little from year to year, and we adjust the calendar when one passes through.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit coming down between visits, and the downspouts fill faster than the calendar allows. Regular cleanings keep the gutters clear between storms. 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 a film that builds up quickly. For these houses we set the visits closer together, and we tell you why when we book.
If your house has no trees and a clean roof line, it usually stays on twice a year. Those with heavy cover or sprinkler spotting move to three or four visits. We set the frequency after the first visit, once we have seen what the house actually carries.
You will know the windows need cleaning when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout.
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.
Our crew cleans gutters and exterior windows across Mount Vernon and the houses around it. We keep a full calendar in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, so the earlier you call the better your chance at the date you want. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the first open slot when you call.
To schedule service, start with an estimate by phone or text. Give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the price and the date in writing. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and leaves the side gate as you left it.
We work on residential and commercial properties and on multi-story buildings with the same crew and the same order of work, gutters first and glass last. Condos with a shared exterior are quoted the same way, as long as the crew can reach the glass safely. For clogged gutters that are already causing water damage, tell us when you book so we can plan the visit around it. Our cleaning services cover both jobs on one visit, and the window cleaners on the crew do the glass from the same ladder setup as the gutter run. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, since the front of the house is what people see first.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure here because it depends on the house.
Usually yes. The outside takes the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and the inside never sees any of it, so clean windows on the outside are where the visible difference comes from. Clean glass on the front of the house is the first thing a visitor notices.
Across Ohio, late May to June is the spring window and October to early November is the fall one. Most of our customers here book one of those two, and an early call gets you the date you want.
Not when we do it right. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass, so the runoff never reaches the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the glass work.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing on the same visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
