The same two people handle our window cleaning services and your gutters in one visit here in Norwalk, gutters first, glass last. We price the two together by the number of stories, and booking both at once costs less than two separate trips. Most of our Norwalk customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when leaves and grit build up enough to show in the runs and on the glass.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Multi-story buildings add setup time for ladder and pole work. Pricing is based on stories, window count and the state of the gutters, and the package figures above show where a typical house starts.
On the day, the things that move a quote are 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 we have to lift and reseat, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the cleaning solutions are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our Norwalk jobs show how this plays out. One house had a window count that looked small from the street but included three picture windows, and what we found in the runs added time before the glass. Reach out with the number of stories and a rough window count, or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the exact number before anyone climbs a ladder. Ask for the written estimate and we will send it the same day.

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 Norwalk customers book both cleanings twice a year, once in late spring and again in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Ohio, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit lands in late October to November. In late spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and sap packed into the gutters. In late fall it is the wet leaf mat and the grit that sits in the runs over the winter. Across Ohio, severe thunderstorms and derechos can move these dates a few weeks in either direction.
Houses under heavy tree cover, with large trees over the roof, need a third visit as we see it, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass needs a visit too, because those spots come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site also tends to need extra visits. Our crew uses professional window cleaning methods on every visit, and the point of a third visit is simply to keep the runs clear before they become clogged gutters.
Haze that you only notice when the sun is low is the sign the windows need cleaning, and clean glass is a big part of curb appeal. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in the rain is the sign the gutters need attention. If you see either, text us a photo and we will tell you which one it is. Left alone, that kind of runoff can lead to water damage at the fascia and soffit.
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 provides cleaning services for the outside of windows and gutters across Norwalk, from the older houses near the center to newer subdivisions on the edges of town. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with the number of stories. We give the estimate from that, and we call before we come, so you know when the truck is on the way.
Lead time depends on the season, and in the two busy windows of the year, when leaves and grit build up, our calendar fills faster, so booking early helps. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew can remove dirt from the runs and glass in the same visit. We cover residential properties, including single-family houses and condos, for homeowners, and we also take on residential window cleaning and window and gutter cleaning jobs for rental owners who need every window and every run handled in one visit. We price residential and commercial buildings by the same stories and window count.
When you book, we will confirm the sill, screen and frame work we include and give you a date. If you want regular cleanings on a set schedule, we can set that up at the end of the visit.
Yes. On our jobs the same two people do the gutters and the outside of the glass in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass last, so runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from stories and window count, and you can get it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with a photo of the front.
Usually the outside carries the most grime here, from pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, and on this visit the exterior work is what we are here to do.
Most of our Norwalk customers book in late spring and again in late fall. Those are the times we see the most leaves and grit in the runs, and booking early keeps your slot.
No, because gutters go first and glass last. We clear the roof, then the gutters and downspouts, and then give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are hand-rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the glass side as we reach them. Anything beyond that we will tell you about before the crew starts.
Not on this visit. We clean exterior glass only, so windows inside stay as they are, and pressure washing is not among our washing services.
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, keep pets inside while ladders are up, 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.
