Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Ohio, most of the homes we clean are on the spring and fall schedule, and that is the rhythm we keep here too.
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 the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Professional window cleaning and window washing on a residential window run are quoted the same way, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate before anyone is booked.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes change the glass work, and the quote counts every window on the outside, not just the ones on the street side. Clogged gutters take longer to clear, especially when needles and leaves have packed the runs for years, and a run that has backed up can cause water damage where it spills over the edge. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a mineral treatment that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a recent job, the homeowner in Powell had a two-story house with a large run of picture windows across the back. The quote moved on the window count and on gutters that had gone without service for a long stretch, and the crew cleared both in one visit. Our window cleaners work from the outside only, so interior glass was not part of that quote. Ask for the same breakdown on your house: stories, window count, and a photo of the front.
| 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 Powell customers book both twice a year, once in late spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Regular cleanings in late spring and fall keep up with the pollen film that settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste that packs the gutters. In fall, the leaf load arrives, and it turns to a wet mat if the gutters are not cleared before the first hard freeze. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packed between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round spots that return a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction collects a film faster than the rest of the street. Those are the residential properties where we suggest a schedule service rather than a single cleaning, so every window and the gutters stay in step.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze you only notice with the sun low, because clean windows show the view without a film on them. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. A clean roofline also helps curb appeal, which is often the first thing a neighbor notices. Either sign means it is time to book a visit, and a text with a photo of the roofline is enough for us to tell you which one it is.
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 have cleaned in several neighborhoods around Powell, and we work the whole city as one route. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we will confirm a window. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are when the leaf load and the spring haze arrive. In those stretches our calendar fills, so booking early keeps your date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, we work from the ground and the boom or scissor lift, and we do not come inside. Our crew handles the washing services and the window cleaning services for the whole house in one pass, and the gutters and downspouts get the same treatment before the glass is touched. We stop the runoff from reaching clean glass and remove dirt and grime from the frames as we go. We clean residential and commercial buildings too, including condos and multi-story buildings, with the same crew.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last. The same two people clear the runs, flush the downspouts and then clean the outside of the glass, so nothing is washed twice.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and tell us the window count, and we will give you a written estimate before the crew is booked.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what shows up on the glass here: spring haze, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the outside keeps the film from building up between visits, whatever the inside looks like.
Most of our Powell customers book in late spring and again in fall. Those are the months when the spring haze and the leaf load arrive, so booking ahead keeps your date.
No, because we clear the gutters first and the glass last. The leaves, the grit and the black water come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and the frames are cleaned as part of the job, and the glass is washed with purified water rather than cleaning solutions. None of it is billed as an extra.
We do not clean the windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. The work is exterior glass and gutters only, with the outside of each window cleaned by our window cleaners. If you want interior and exterior glass handled together, ask us on the phone and we will tell you what is possible.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the 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.
