Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here in Norton. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Across Ohio, most of our customers book it for spring and fall, and that is the calendar we work to. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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 this: window washing and gutter work are priced together by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both costs less than two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, quoted from those details by phone or text, so there is no surprise on the invoice.
On our jobs the quote moves for a few reasons we can see from the ladder. A third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it adds time. Oversized panes and a high count of small ones add time on the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years, packed with needles, seeds and leaves, take longer to clear, and guards that have to be lifted and reseated are priced by the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning will not remove, and we say so when we see it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras. If you live in one of the condos on a shared roofline, tell us which run is yours.
Here is how a quote comes together on a typical window cleaning services job. Every quote follows the same logic: stories, window count, what is in the gutters, and what the glass is carrying, including runoff from the roofline and built-up grime on the sills, plus how much effort it takes to remove dirt from the frames. When you call, tell us how many stories the house has, roughly how many windows you have, and send a photo of the front, and we will give you the exact number you will pay. It keeps you out of the middle of a bad estimate, and it is how we keep the job straightforward.
| 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 Norton 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 for the calendar. Across Ohio, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. Work for residential and commercial buildings follows the same spring and fall pattern.
In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters, which is the heavy load of the season. In fall we find the leaf load, the wet mat that sits in the gutters and then sags under the first hard freeze. We match our cleaning solutions to what is on the glass, so pollen film and hard-water spotting never get the same treatment. Storm and wind seasons across Ohio can shift those dates a little, so we work the calendar to the weather rather than fixing it on paper. Under heavy tree cover, or when a sprinkler line hits the glass, we plan a third visit once we see the ground, because the spots that return a day after cleaning are a sign something else is feeding the glass.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or a construction site are the cases where a third visit makes sense. Those houses need regular cleanings of the glass because dust and grit settle faster. Houses with large picture windows often fall in that group too, since the glass takes the most dust. A house with few trees and no sprinkler problem usually does well with one visit a year in late fall, and we tell you which of those your lot actually needs after the first visit.
You know it is time to clean the windows when you see haze only when the sun is low, and you know the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a hard rain. Those two signs are the easiest to read from your own yard, and cleanings timed to them keep the glass and gutters in better shape than waiting for a visible problem.
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, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the same photo. A call comes ahead of each visit, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, because our crew works outside and does not come inside. Most of our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, so booking early in those months gives you more choice of dates.
We cover residential properties and small buildings across Norton, and the crew moves from job to job by route so that the cleaning services you book are scheduled in one run. Our window cleaners work from water-fed poles and purified water, which is how we clean windows that most crews leave streaked, and the process is the same whether it is a two-story house or a row of townhomes. Professional window cleaning on multi-story buildings takes more planning, and we handle that with the same crew. Clogged gutters are often the first sign of water damage in a wall or fascia board, and that is one of the reasons we photograph every run before we leave. Curb appeal rises the moment the glass and gutters are clean, and the difference shows up in the photos we send you.
Yes. For a residential window job, the same two people do the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, and you get one bill for both.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from your stories and window count, and we give it to you by phone or text.
On a Norton house the outside takes the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots first, so the outside glass is usually where the haze starts. Cleaning the windows inside does not reach that.
Across Ohio, most of our customers book for late May to June and late October to November, and those are the two windows we work to here in Norton.
No. We clean the gutters first and then do the glass. If the order is reversed, the grime runs back down the wall and onto the panes below, which is exactly why we work in that order.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass on this visit, so interior and exterior work is not part of this booking, and we do not pressure wash.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, so every window dries clean and the ground is not mud. Move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Text a photo of the house front if you want the exact number.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
