Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips, and we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Across Ohio, most of our customers book this work in the spring and fall, and we keep the same order on every house we clean in Ravenna.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so we settle it before the crew is booked. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that needs a boom or scissor lift, a high count of oversized picture windows, gutters not cleaned in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Pollen is the reason many Ravenna homes need the glass done along with the gutters. A film of it sits on south-facing glass in the spring, and the same pollen packs into the elbows of the downspouts, so a cleaning that skips the gutters leaves the wall below them dirty again within weeks. Our crew treats the two jobs as one visit for that reason. Cleaning solutions are matched to the glass and the frame, and the purified water we rinse with helps remove dirt and dries without leaving marks, which is why our washing services leave no streaks.
Many of our Ravenna customers are residential and commercial owners who want the same crew on both kinds of building, though this page covers homes. On a home, the work is the same as the work we do on any other house: gutters first, then the glass, then a photo of each run before the truck leaves. Our interior and exterior work is separate, and this visit covers the exterior only.
The first visit on a house is the one where we learn the most. We look at the roofline, count the stories, check how the gutters are hung, and note whether a sprinkler reaches the glass. Those notes carry over to the cleanings that follow, so regular cleanings start from the same facts. If you have a question about the number, call (866) 435-6328 and ask for a written estimate before you book a date.

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 Ravenna customers book both jobs twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. We keep the spring visit in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November across Ohio, and the window cleaning services we offer follow that calendar. Window cleaners who work across Ohio see the same pattern, and professional window cleaning follows it too: the spring film and the autumn leaf load arrive on a schedule the weather does not change.
At each visit we look for specific things. In the spring we find a film on the south-facing glass and a paste packed into the gutters. In the fall we find the leaf load that comes down all at once after the first hard wind, and we find the wet mat that sits in the gutter through the cold months. The storm and wind seasons, mainly the severe thunderstorms and derechos across Ohio, can move a date by a few weeks, so the calendar is a guide rather than a promise.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters on those houses fill faster than the calendar allows. Gutters that overflow for a season can cause water damage on the fascia below them. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate treatment. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a fine grime that settles on the sill and the lower panes. For those houses we suggest a third visit, and we say so when we see the cause. Multi-story buildings are a larger job than a house and are not what this page covers.
The sign that windows need cleaning again is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. Haze on the windows inside the house is a different problem, and this visit does not touch it. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal, so the calendar is worth keeping. When you see either, text a photo of the roofline to our crew and we will tell you which visit comes next.
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 homes across Ravenna, and the booking process is the same on every house. You request an estimate by phone or text, give us the number of stories, and send a photo of the house front. From that we give a written estimate and offer a date. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send that photo by text. Our lead time depends on the season, and we confirm it when you book. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills fastest in those weeks. If you want a slot in May or in late October, book early so the date holds. Outside those windows there is usually room on the calendar, and a cleaning in the middle of summer or winter can be scheduled on short notice.
We clean residential properties of every size, and every residential window on the house gets the same care, from the picture window at the front to the small panes over a side door. Condos are quoted after we see the building, since a shared exterior can change the job. We treat every window the same way, and we clean windows from the sill up, not only the glass. We clean the sill on each window because the sill holds the grime that rain runoff carries back onto the frame. Where a window is hard to reach, the crew tells you before the visit rather than skipping it on the day.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the glass in one visit, and they do the gutters first. That order keeps the dirty water from running across clean glass.
We do not quote a figure without the house in front of us. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before you book.
On a Ravenna house the outside carries the most. Dust, rain grime and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior, and interior glass rarely shows them, so the outside is where most of the grime sits. If you own a condo, ask us first, since a shared building can change the job.
Most of our Ravenna customers book in late May to June and again in late October to November. Book early in those windows, because the calendar fills.
No, because the gutters and downspouts come first and the glass last. Once the run is cleared and the downspouts are flushed, the wall has time to stop dripping before the glass is touched.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, so they are not billed as extras. Downspout flushing is included too. The purified water we rinse with helps remove dirt without leaving marks.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. Pressure washing is not part of our washing services on this visit, so ask us if you need either handled separately.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
