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 nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Ohio, our crews book most of their spring and fall visits from homeowners who want both done at once.
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 direct answer is that we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the 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 it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Window cleaning services are quoted per house, so the gutter run and the window washing sit on one number. Pressure washing is not part of this quote; it is a separate set of washing services. The interior and exterior of the house are not one job here: this visit covers the outside of the panes only.
Owners who call us often ask why the number moves between two houses on the same street. Usually it is the window count and the stories, and sometimes the gutters. A regular cleanings schedule keeps the number lower over time, because a run that is cleared every visit does not build up the packed debris that adds time. On a house that has gone a long time between cleanings, the crew spends more time clearing the gutter run before it can even reach the panes. Grime that has built up on the sill takes longer to wipe than fresh dust, and that time shows up in the quote. Getting an exact number is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has. We will look at the photo, ask about the window count, and give you a figure before anyone books a date.

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 North Ridgeville customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the downspout elbows. In the fall the leaf load comes down and turns into a wet mat that sits in the runs over the winter. Across Ohio, spring visits run late May to June. Fall visits here run November to early December, ahead of the freeze. What we find on the glass each visit depends on the season, and a house with heavy tree cover over the roof often needs a third visit, because needles and grit keep building in the gutters between cleanings.
Some houses need a third visit for other reasons. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. We rinse with purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so there is nothing left on the pane to streak. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects grit faster than a quiet street. Homes with multi-story buildings around them, or with a lot of glass facing the same direction, tend to collect haze faster on that side. Windows inside are not part of this visit, so a film on the inside of the glass is a separate job. This advice is written for houses, and residential and commercial buildings with different glass and access are quoted on their own. Clogged gutters are the usual cause of water damage we see when we come back, so on those houses we check the downspouts closely at each visit. The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in the rain.
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 crews work across North Ridgeville, and the easiest way to schedule service is to call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. Tell us the number of stories and we will give you an estimate on the spot, then set a date. Lead time depends on the season, and during the busy spring and fall windows our calendar fills first, so it helps to ask early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew never comes inside. Our cleaning services cover the gutters and every window on the outside of the house, and we handle the job the same way whether the house is a small ranch or a larger two-story home. Professional window cleaning means the glass gets done with purified water, which dries without streaks, and the frames and sills get wiped as part of the visit. We are one of the window cleaners in town that does both the glass and the gutters in a single trip, which keeps curb appeal consistent from the roofline to the ground.
Yes. The same two people do both on residential properties, and they work gutters first and panes last on every house. That order keeps the debris from the gutters from running down onto clean windows.
We give you the number by phone or text. It comes from the stories and the size of the house, so we need the front of the house and the window count before we can quote it. If the home is one of the condos with its own exterior windows and gutters, send a photo and we will tell you whether it fits.
On most residential properties here, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. A residential window can look fine from inside while the outside shows a haze that only appears in low sun.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. Those are the windows when pollen and leaves build up the most, and our calendar fills in those months.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, runoff from the gutters runs down across it and someone has to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. That is how we remove dirt from them without a separate charge. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior of the glass only, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
