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 both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Across Ohio, most of our customers book the pair in spring and again in fall, and that is the rhythm we work to.
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 it comes from how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries. Our window washing and gutter work is priced as one job, and booking the gutters and the outside glass together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. The difference shows up on the quote before anyone climbs a ladder. Give us the stories and a window estimate, and we will tell you the price the same day you call at (866) 435-6328.
On our jobs, four things move the number. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings need the same extra setup. Oversized picture windows and tall panes take more setup. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear than a run that was done last year. And gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers does not come off with cleaning; we say so on the phone so nobody pays for something we cannot remove. This visit covers the outside of the glass only, so the quote never includes interior and exterior work. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What we find on the day is what sets the quote more than the house itself. A clean front run with the outlets open takes a short visit. A back run with the downspout packed to the elbow takes the rest of the morning. Our washing services follow that split, so the front of the house and the back are timed on their own. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text and we can usually tell you which kind of visit it is before we schedule it. Our window cleaning services are quoted from that photo, the stories and the window count, and regular cleanings get the same method each time, so a repeat visit is priced from the house as it stands that year.

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.
Across Ohio, most of our customers book their window and gutter visits twice a year, with the spring visit usually in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the sticky paste packs into the gutters. Fall is when the leaf load arrives and the wet mat sits in the runs over winter. Storm and wind seasons can shift those dates by a few weeks, and we would rather move a visit than clean a gutter that is about to get buried.
What we find at each visit is consistent from house to house. The pollen film on the glass shows up as a yellow haze you only notice once the sun is low, and a dry wipe smears it. Rinsing is what will remove dirt from the pane. The gutters carry the spring debris as a paste that blocks the outlets before it blocks the run. In fall the problem is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs that have sagged under the weight of ice by late winter. The sign that gutters and downspouts need cleaning sooner is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running out the downspouts, and that runoff is what finds the fascia first.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the runs loaded between visits, and that is the case where we see the most clogged gutters and the most water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate look. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grit on the glass than a quiet street does. After the first visit we tell you which of those your lot actually needs, and we put it in writing so the schedule matches the house.
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 works across New Philadelphia on the same routine for residential properties: an estimate by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, then a slot on the calendar. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is that week, so call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service and we will give you the actual date when we quote, not a range we hope to meet. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so the crew never shows up at a house that is not ready.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall stretches when spring dust and leaves are at their peak. Those are the weeks our calendar fills, so if you want a slot in those months, book early. Clean glass and clear runs also do a lot for curb appeal in those same weeks. Outside those windows there is more room, and a midweek morning is usually easier to get than a Saturday in May. We will tell you plainly when a slot is tight rather than promise something we cannot hold.
Our cleaning services cover every window and every gutter run on the outside of the house in the same visit. Our professional window cleaning uses the same route and the same clean-up for each residential window, and upper-story glass is done from the pole, not a ladder leaned on the siding. If you have a question about what we cover before you book, ask it on the phone and we will answer it with the house in front of us.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people, so window and gutter cleaning happens in one visit, gutters first and glass last. The dirty runs are finished before the glass is touched. Booking both together means one setup and one trip.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Condos are counted the same way, and residential and commercial buildings are a call first, so tell us what you have. Send us the stories and a window estimate and you get the number before anything is booked.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime here: the spring film, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. The inside may look fine while the outside is hazy in low sun. We clean the outside only on this visit, so the glass you see from the street is the glass we handle.
Across Ohio, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, after the spring build-up and before the leaves are down. Booking early in those windows gets you a slot faster, and a midweek morning is usually easier to get than a weekend.
No, that is the reason we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the downspouts are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are cleaned on request during the visit, and we tell you before the crew starts if a track needs more work than a wipe.
We clean the outside glass only on this visit, and the windows inside the house are not part of it. The glass gets purified water, not cleaning solutions, so the pane dries clean. We do not pressure wash siding or decks on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Our crew works outside and does not come inside, and it sends photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, 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.
