The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first, glass last, so the runoff never lands on the clean windows. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate window cleaners and a gutter crew. Most of our South Euclid customers book it in the spring and the fall, which is when our crew sees the most buildup on the glass and in the runs. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for a quote.
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 residential window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking gutters and windows as two separate jobs with two separate window cleaners and gutter crews. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we give it from those inputs before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets there: a steep roof or a third story, a run of window count with oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Window washing on a house like this is mostly a matter of access and glass count, and the professional window cleaning we do follows the same order every time. Picture windows take longer per pane than standard sash, so a run of them gets priced in before the day. Curb appeal is what the neighbors see first, and clean glass changes it more than most owners expect. On a house where clogged gutters have been sitting for a season, the runoff has already started to stain the trim, and that is the kind of water damage a single cleaning can prevent when it is caught early. For larger, multi-story buildings the quote is built from the same inputs, with the lift set up before the first run is cleared.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories visible and tell us roughly how many windows face out. Our crew calls back with the figure before anything is booked, and the figure does not change on the day unless the house is different from what was described.
| 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 South Euclid customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on a calendar like this. Across Ohio, spring visits run late May to June, and the fall visit runs November to early December. Regular cleanings in those windows keep the pollen film and leaf mat from setting. Our crew sees the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows in the spring, and the wet leaf mat and grit in the fall. Storm and wind seasons move those dates a little, so we schedule against the weather rather than the calendar.
Homes with heavy tree cover over the roof usually need a third visit, because needles and grit keep packing the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and we flag those on the first visit. A house near a busy road or active construction picks up more film, so it gets scheduled closer to the spring. Residential and commercial properties both follow this pattern in the region, with residential properties usually on the simpler two-visit cycle unless the lot says otherwise.
The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is haze you only notice when the sun is low on the glass. When we are on site we check every window for that haze, not just the front of the house. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain instead of falling into the downspout. When either one shows up between visits, text us a photo and we tell you whether it can wait.
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 crew cleans gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows across South Euclid, and we book by phone or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we give you a slot from there. Typical lead time is a programmatic field we fill in from the calendar, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the late fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills during those stretches. If you want a slot in either window, book early, because the runoff and grime build up fast and we would rather clean it before it stains the trim. Our window cleaning services follow the same order in every neighborhood, and the washing services we do on a bundle are priced the same way whether the house is on a quiet side street or near a main road.
Commercial condos and small buildings are scheduled on the same calendar. Where a site has several entrances or a lot of glass, we block the time in advance so the crew is not working the lift in the middle of a busy day. Any grime or remove dirt work that goes beyond the normal visit is quoted before the crew starts, so the schedule stays predictable.
Yes, our crew does both, and the gutters are done first so the glass is not dirtied again before we leave. The same two people run the job from the ladder to the glass.
There is no fixed figure we can give without the house in front of us. The number comes from the stories and the window count, and you get it by phone or text before anything is booked.
On South Euclid houses the outside carries most of the buildup: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that do not show up from the inside. Picture windows show that outside haze most, since their large panes catch the low sun. Cleaning the outside alone still changes how the house looks in the sun.
Most book in the spring and again in the fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up on the glass and in the runs.
Not when the order is right. Gutters first, glass last: the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall and across the windows below, so we clear the runs and flush the downspouts, let the wall drain, and only then touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior visit, and they are not billed as extras.
No, on this visit we clean the exterior glass only, and we do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing as part of this job. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs for us. If you have painted trim, ask about the cleaning solutions before booking so we can plan around them.
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.
