Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto the panes we just finished. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Ohio, most of our customers book it for spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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 doing the gutters and the outside glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Every residential window is tallied from the photo you send, not guessed from the street. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is confirmed before the crew is booked.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A high window count or oversized panes adds to the number, and so do multi-story buildings and condos with long runs of glass. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer than a light run, because the grime and runoff they hold has to come out first. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras, and each one is there to remove dirt before it washes back onto the glass.
Our experience with Piqua houses is that the quote depends on what the house actually carries, so the first step is getting the exact number. Tell us the stories, the window count and send a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will give you a number before anyone is scheduled. On the jobs we have run here, that single exchange has been enough to set an accurate quote without a site visit. We clean the outside of the glass and the gutters, not the windows inside. Most washing services in Piqua quote the same way as window cleaning services, but the number is only as good as the information behind it. Window washing done on the same visit as the gutters avoids a second setup, and that is where the bundle saving comes from.
| 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 Piqua customers book both twice a year, once in late spring and once in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Ohio, the schedule is the same: spring after the trees finish shedding, and fall after the leaves are down.
In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and sticky tree dust packed into the gutters. Large picture windows show it first, because there is more glass for the rain to sheet across. In fall it is the wet leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see sagging runs by winter. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we confirm the window when you book.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters and downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or active construction picks up dust faster than the glass can shed it. The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low; the sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge during rain.
We do not offer a do-it-yourself plan here, and we do not discuss price in this section. We keep the schedule simple: two visits a year for most homes, and a third where the house asks for it.
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.
We work across Piqua on residential properties, and the booking process is the same for every street. You send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front by text or phone, and we confirm an arrival window before the crew is booked. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send the photo by text. Lead time depends on the calendar that week, and we tell you the first open date when you call.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring bloom and the fall leaf drop. Book early in those months if you want a specific day, and if you want regular cleanings, we set the next visit on the same call. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
Many of the houses we serve have been through heavy seasons, and what builds up on the glass and in the gutters is the same kind of buildup that leads to clogged gutters, overflow onto siding, and water damage at the fascia. A few regular cleanings catch it early, and they protect curb appeal too, since the first thing a neighbor sees is the glass and the gutter line. Some window cleaners stop at the glass, but we clean every window the crew can reach from outside and do the gutters on the same visit, because that is where the water comes from. We work as a professional window cleaning and gutter team, the same two people from the estimate through the last photo, and we keep the job limited to the outside glass and the gutters so the work stays focused.
Yes, on our residential jobs the same two people do both, gutters first and glass last, in one visit. For any commercial property, ask by phone before you book.
We give no figure here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you get it by phone or text before the visit.
On Piqua houses the outside carries tree dust, road grime and sprinkler spots, and those cloud the glass long before the inside looks dirty. The outside is where clean windows start.
Most of our customers book for late spring and late fall, when the tree dust and leaves are heaviest.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. Clearing a run sends the grit and water down the wall, so the glass has to come last.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the same visit, and we use purified water with no cleaning solutions on the glass.
We clean the exterior of every window the crew can reach. Interior and exterior glass are not bundled into one price, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
