Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Ohio, most of our customers book it in the spring and the fall, when the seed, pollen and leaf drop build up fastest.
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 you get from us comes from the stories, the approximate window count, and the state of the gutters, and once we give it to you on the phone it is the number on the invoice. Gutter cleaning and window washing go on one quote, and doing both in one visit costs less than two separate jobs on two separate days. That saving is in the quote itself, and the professional window cleaning on the outside of the house is part of it.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count, picture windows and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted to reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone does not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Anything about the windows inside the house is not part of the quote.
Clogged gutters are the most common reason a visit takes longer than the phone estimate, so we say so before the crew arrives. A roof that has been ignored for a few seasons can also show water damage on the fascia or the wall under the run, and we photograph it and report it rather than guessing. For a number that fits your house, text us the front of the building and the number of stories, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will tell you what the window count adds. Clean windows show the curb appeal of a house, but the quote is built from what our window cleaners find on the day.
| 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 customers book regular cleanings twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the same calendar. Across Ohio, the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and the fall one in late October to November, which is when a residential window and its gutters are both due. Spring brings the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. Fall brings the leaf load, and wet leaves settle in the gutters faster than most people expect.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates. A severe thunderstorm season can push a gutter visit forward, and we would rather see a run before the water sheets over the edge than after. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or a construction site usually needs a third visit, because spots that come back a day after cleaning point to minerals in the water and grit keeps packing the downspouts between visits.
You will know it is time when a haze shows up on every window only when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Ask the crew for a schedule service plan that fits your lot, and they will set the dates on the first visit. Regular cleanings on that plan keep the downspouts clear between seasons.
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 the city and the neighborhoods nearby, and the washing services we offer are booked as a single visit. We give an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Booking a slot is simple, and the lead time is set by the calendar that week. The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, when the calendar fills quickly and the crew books out. The estimate method is the same for residential and commercial buildings, and it runs on stories and glass.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside the house, cleaning the window cleaning services and the gutters and downspouts without entering the building. Water runoff from the roofline is flushed through each downspout, and the glass is wiped down afterward. We will also remove dirt and grime from the sills, frames and screens so the windows look finished when we leave. Residential properties, condos and multi-story buildings get the same care as single-story houses, with the lift used where the run is too high to reach from the ground.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters first and then the glass, in one visit, so you do not pay for two trips. The same method applies to residential and commercial buildings.
We do not quote a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you get it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are what you see through the glass from the inside. Picture windows show that film most clearly, and cleanings on the outside do the most good there.
Across Ohio, most of our customers book in the spring and the fall, after the pollen season and before the first hard freeze. Regular cleanings in both seasons keep the build-up from getting ahead of you.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing from the runs washes across the panes afterward.
Screens, sills and frames are part of the exterior job, cleaned without cleaning solutions beyond purified water. We do not add them as a separate charge.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so there is no interior and exterior bundle to book. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, 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.
