Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass last, so nothing that falls from the roof lands on clean panes. We price by stories and approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Most of our Perkins customers book it for the spring and fall visits, and we have cleaned houses across Ohio the same way.
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.
Some window cleaners quote by the pane, but we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we check every window from the outside before we quote. Booking gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked takes more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings are quoted story by story. Oversized panes, like picture windows, and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add to the job. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone does not remove, and we say so on the visit. Clearing the gutters and downspouts is part of the job, along with screen rinsing and sill wiping, and none of it is billed as an extra.
For a Perkins house, the quickest route to a firm number is to text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and a rough count of windows. We do not guess from the street. Window washing on a house with heavy grime, clogged gutters that have sat through a full season, or water damage showing near the eaves is quoted after we see those spots in person. Our crew will tell you what is driving the price before any work starts, and professional window cleaning on the outside is priced the same way every time. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and ask for a written estimate.

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 Perkins customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Spring visits come after the seed and pollen drop, and fall visits come after the last leaves fall and before the first hard freeze. We book both on the same calendar because the two jobs share the same ladder setup.
On our Perkins jobs, what we find in April is a film of pollen on south-facing glass and a paste of pollen and seeds in the gutter elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sagged under the weight by late winter. Storms and high winds move the dates a little in either direction.
Some houses need regular cleanings beyond the two seasonal visits, and a third visit as we see it. Heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, is the most common reason. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another, and those spots come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or active construction also tends to need more frequent cleanings. A residential window on a corner lot with a lot of traffic runoff is in the same category. If you have a question about your own house, our crew can tell you on the first visit what your lot needs and the schedule service can follow from that.
Window haze that you only notice when the sun is low is the sign the glass needs a visit to remove dirt. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in rain is the sign the gutters need attention. Clean windows also help curb appeal, since the street side of the house is the first thing people see. Between visits, skip household cleaning solutions on the glass, since the residue leaves streaks that the next visit has to remove.
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.
At the moment our cleaning services reach most of the neighborhoods in Perkins itself, and the list of neighboring cities below this section shows where else our crews work. Booking for our window cleaning services starts with a phone or text estimate using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call and we tell you the next open date, since lead time depends on the season. Our calendar fills fastest during the two busy windows of the year, so if you know you want the spring or fall visit, it helps to book early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, because our washing services are outside only. Our crew does not come inside. We serve residential properties, and owners of condos and multi-unit buildings should check with the association before booking, because we need access to the outside of each unit. Ask for a written estimate and call (866) 435-6328 to confirm the date, or text a photo of the roofline if you are not sure what your house needs.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they go gutters first, glass last.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. Houses with picture windows and multi-story buildings are quoted on the same basis.
On our Perkins jobs the outside takes the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so clean windows look different even when the inside is already clean.
Most of our Perkins customers book in spring and in fall, and the calendar fills fastest in those two windows. We work on residential and commercial buildings, so a shop or office can book the same way.
No. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so anything that comes off the roof is rinsed before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job, and they are not billed separately.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the glass only. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and interior and exterior glass are separate jobs. We do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Keep household cleaning solutions off the glass the day before, since residue leaves streaks.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
