Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the dirty water never lands on clean panes. 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, our crews run the spring and fall cleanings that keep gutters flowing and glass clear, and most of our North Olmsted customers book both in the same visit.
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 residential and commercial jobs the same way, by stories and the approximate number of windows, and the window and gutter bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer on the ladder. Window count and picture windows change the time on the glass, since a large pane takes longer to rinse and dry. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles, leaves and grime, take more passes. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a cleaning and needs a separate treatment, which we quote after we see it.
Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We flush every downspout until it runs clear, rinse the screens we take down, and wipe the sills before we leave.
On North Olmsted residential properties, the quote moves most with the house itself, so the fastest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories visible and a rough window count. Tell us if the gutters have not been opened in a long time, and we will allow for it. We will not guess at a number we cannot see.
Gutter cleaning and window washing are the same crew and the same visit, so there is one price to plan around. Our spring and fall visits follow the same order every time: roof, gutters, downspouts, then glass. That order is what keeps the price predictable, because nothing has to be done twice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will send a written estimate.
Pollen season adds to the glass work. The film on south-facing windows and the paste in the gutters both need to come off in the same visit, so the bundle covers both. Many of our customers book the spring cleaning for after the pollen peaks, which keeps the glass and the gutters from being cleaned twice in one season.
Cleaning solutions are one part of the cost and the time on the glass is the other. We use purified water on the outside of the house, which dries clean without streaks when the pane is properly rinsed. On this visit, professional window cleaning covers the exterior glass only, so the interior and exterior of a house are quoted as separate jobs when you ask. We do not clean windows inside on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. Those are separate jobs, and we will tell you so if they come up.
| 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.
Across Ohio, most customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, and on our North Olmsted jobs the spring and fall visits are the ones that come up most. Booking regular cleanings in those two seasons is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs.
In spring, what we find on the glass is the yellow film from tree bloom on south-facing windows and the paste packed into the gutters. In fall, the leaf load comes off the trees and settles in the runs, and the wet mat clogs the downspouts before the first hard weather. Across Ohio, severe thunderstorms and derechos move the dates a little, so we look at the roof and the glass on the day rather than working from a calendar.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof drops needles and grit into the gutters between cleanings, and clogged gutters that overflow can lead to water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, so those windows need closer watching. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the sills. We tell you at the first visit which of these your house has.
On our jobs, a house with few or no trees usually needs one visit a year, late in the fall. A house under heavy trees or with sprinkler spotting is on three or four visits, because the debris and the spotting keep coming back between cleanings. Those are the two cases we see most, and the first visit tells us which one you are.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low, especially on the glass that faces the afternoon light. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. The runoff from a clogged gutter streaks the wall below it. A cleaning helps remove dirt and film that rain alone does not wash off, and clean windows also do a lot for curb appeal.
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 have cleaned windows and gutters across North Olmsted, and our estimate starts with a phone call or a text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the visit date and the time window. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our window cleaning services cover residential properties and small buildings, and the window and gutter work fits a residential window schedule as well as the calendar of a busy house. For multi-story buildings the quote follows the number of stories, the same way as a two-story house. We work on every window from the outside, including the upper floors and the picture windows, and we wipe the sill of each one before we move on. A house with many windows gets the same attention on the last pane as on the first.
Booking is simple: a phone call or text with the stories and a photo, a written estimate by text, and a date. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the stories and a photo of the house front. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the late spring bloom and the fall leaf drop, so book early if you want a slot in those weeks. Outside those periods the lead time is shorter, and the lead time for your address is given on the estimate.
Booking our cleaning services does not come with a promise of same-day or next-day service. Your estimate states the first available date for your house.
Yes. The crew that cleans your gutters is the one that washes the outside of your windows, and they work the job in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and for condos we first ask whether the gutters belong to your unit or the association. We give the number by phone or text before the visit, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
On our North Olmsted jobs the outside carries the film, rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots, and those are the things the glass shows first, so outside cleaning makes the most visible difference.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and in the fall, and the calendar fills in those busy weeks, so earlier booking is the safest choice.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, then give the wall time to stop dripping before we touch the glass, so the runoff from the roof never lands on clean panes.
Our washing services include rinsing screens and wiping sills as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are cleaned as part of the window work where they can be reached from outside.
We clean the exterior of the windows on this visit only, and professional window cleaning here means the outside glass. Interior glass and pressure washing are separate jobs, and we will tell you so if you ask.
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. Text us if the side gate needs to be unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
