Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean windows. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips.
Our window cleaning services run in Riverside through the spring and fall cleaning seasons, when most customers here book both jobs together. Window cleaners who only do glass usually leave the gutters for a second trip, which our crew avoids. Across the houses we clean, the pollen and leaf loads that build up over those months are what the crew sees first on every run.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking both in one visit is cheaper than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and window count are the first things we ask for.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Multi-story buildings, or a steep roof, mean more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift for the upper runs. Window count on a residential window job and oversized picture windows add time on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another variable: cleaning does not remove mineral etching, so we note it at the estimate.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our washing services are quoted the same way whether you book gutters, glass or both, by stories and window count. The cleaning solutions we use on the glass are purified-water based, so nothing is left to dry on the pane.
To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and about how many windows face the street. The number we give you is built from those details, not a guess. Some Riverside homes need the same visit as a house with a lot of glass, and a yard with heavy tree cover tends to add regular cleanings to the schedule.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |

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 Riverside customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Ohio the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November.
In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load, and on houses that skipped the visit we have seen runs sag under the weight of wet leaves by winter. Storm and wind seasons, especially severe thunderstorms, can shift the timing, so we confirm the date when we call.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road tends to build up faster, and those are the places where clogged gutters and spots that return a day later show up first. Professional window cleaning on a schedule keeps that grime from settling in.
You can tell the windows need attention when you see a haze only in low sun. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain, which is often a sign of water damage starting at the fascia. Clean glass and clear gutters keep curb appeal, and both show first from the street.
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 window and gutter cleaning crew covers Riverside as a whole, and our cleaning services reach residential and commercial buildings alike, condos included. Most of our calls are for residential properties. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, with the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have. We will tell you when we can come.
Lead time depends on the season. In the busy weeks of spring and fall, when our calendar fills, a slot can take longer to open, so it helps to book early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we arrive, and we come to the door only if something needs your attention.
We clean every window on the exterior, including the sill and frame, and we schedule service around the weather so the glass is dry when we leave. If you want to set up a regular visit, ask us to put your home on the calendar and we will confirm the date.
Yes. The same crew does both, gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters never reaches the clean windows.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 with your story count and a photo of the front.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting in Riverside, so that is where we remove dirt first.
Our customers here book in late May or June for spring and late October or November for fall. Across Ohio the same two windows apply.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts, let the wall drip off, and only then start on the glass.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job. We do not bill them as extras.
This visit is exterior only. We do not clean windows inside the house, we do not offer interior and exterior glass on one booking, and we do not do pressure washing.
No. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
