Gutters and the outside of your windows are two jobs that get done in the same visit by the same two people. We clear the gutters first and wash the glass last, so nothing falls back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a bundled visit costs less than booking the two separately. Across Ohio, most of our customers book spring and fall, and that is when our crew does the most work on the glass and in the gutters.
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, and both jobs in one visit come in below booking two separate trips. Our window washing and other washing services are quoted as one number, and the gutters and downspouts are part of it. That number already covers downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping, which are part of the job and never billed as extras.
On the day, what moves the quote is what the crew finds. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Oversized panes and high window counts add time on the glass, and heavy grime means more passes to remove dirt before the squeegee touches it. Condos with shared gutter runs take longer to walk through. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a separate treatment that cleaning alone will not remove, and we tell you before we start if we see it.
Our Pickerington jobs show how these add up. One customer had a two-story house with a row of picture windows and gutters that had gone unopened for a long time; the crew cleared the packed runs, flushed every downspout and cleaned the glass in one visit, and the quote matched the invoice. For the most accurate number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house, along with the stories and about how many windows you have. We will quote from that, and the number holds 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.
Across Ohio, most of our customers book a window and gutter visit in spring and again in fall, because both runs follow the same calendar and one crew in one visit is the simplest way to cover both. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior.
In spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass and the pollen paste builds up in the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load is the problem, with a wet mat that holds water against the fascia and sags the hangers over the winter. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we book by the condition of the house, not the calendar alone.
Some houses need regular cleanings more often than twice a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit coming down between cleanings, and sprinkler lines that hit the glass leave spots that come back a day after cleaning. Picture windows near a busy road or construction collect a fine film faster than most. Our crew sees this on every route, so we set the schedule to match, and the cleaning solutions we use are chosen for the glass on each house.
Watch for two signs. Windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. Either one means it is time to book, and a text with a photo of the roofline is enough for us to tell you which visit makes sense.
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 provide window cleaning services and gutter cleaning on residential properties across Pickerington, and our calendar is one of the reasons we can keep the same two people on a house from first visit to last. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front. Lead time varies with the season, and we tell you the first open date when you call.
Two windows in the year fill our schedule quickly: the spring season and the fall leaf drop. If you can, book early in those windows, because the calendar tightens and the crew has less room to move. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we arrive so you know the crew is on the way. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, and that is usually the first thing neighbors notice.
The crew works the way a professional window cleaning crew should, with purified water on the glass and a clear plan for every gutter run. We have cleaned on residential and commercial properties, including multi-story buildings, and the same care goes into a two-story home, because the most common route to water damage at the foundation is clogged gutters that overflow, and we would rather catch it early than explain it later.
Yes. Window and gutter cleaning is one visit on our jobs, with the same two people from start to finish. We clean the gutters first and wash the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from your stories and the approximate count of every window on the house, and we give it by phone or text before we book. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside collects rain dust, sprinkler spots and a film that builds up between visits. Those marks cut the light through clean windows, and they do not come off with an inside cleaning.
Most of our customers here book in spring after the first warm weeks and in fall after the leaves drop, and we can plan around either window. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which one fits your house.
No, because we clear the gutters first and wash the residential window glass last. The roof gets cleared, every downspout gets flushed, and the wall gets time to stop dripping before anyone touches a window.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, and none of them is billed as an extra. We tell you before we start if a track needs more time.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the glass only. We do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing on a window and gutter visit, and we will tell you if something else needs a separate job.
No, 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 unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
