The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts, then the outside of your windows, in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work on Springdale houses for years, and most of our customers here book spring and fall, when the leaves are heaviest. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will give you the number on the phone at (866) 435-6328.
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 window and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a bundled visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so you will know the figure before the crew is on the ladder.
On our jobs the quote moves for a handful of reasons. A third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. Window count and oversized panes change the glass time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate job that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Springdale house the most useful thing you can do is give us the exact count before we visit. Text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories visible, and tell us roughly how many windows face each side. We have cleaned homes here where the gutters were the bigger job and others where the glass took most of the morning, and the photo tells us which before we arrive. Residential and commercial buildings are priced on the same basis, by building size and access, and in both cases the cleaning solutions we use are chosen for the surface in front of us. We do interior and exterior work only on request, and for this visit we are doing the exterior only. Our crew works through every window on the outside, around the picture windows and the sills, and regular cleanings keep the number of visits down. Ask for a written estimate if you want the figure in writing before you book.
| 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 Springdale customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
Spring is when the pollen lands. It leaves a yellow film on south-facing glass and a paste in the gutters that clogs the elbows. Fall is the leaf load, a wet mat that sags the runs under its own weight and holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons, the severe thunderstorms and derechos that move through Ohio, can shift those dates by a few weeks, and we call before we come rather than working to a fixed date.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, which is how a house under big trees ends up on a three to four month schedule. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass than a quiet street does. Professional window cleaning on a schedule that matches these conditions keeps the work small each time, and the curb appeal of the house holds up between visits. Cleaning services done this way also catch clogged gutters early, before they cause water damage to the fascia.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. Gutters tell you too, when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 provides window and gutter cleaning on residential properties across Springdale, and we also take multi-story buildings on a set schedule. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you the estimate. Lead time depends on the season and the size of the job, and we will tell you the first open date when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills fastest in those weeks. Booking early in the season is the simplest way to get a slot on the date you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside, so you get clean windows and cleared gutters without anyone walking through the house. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
Our goal on every visit is to clean every window on the outside of the house, including the sill and the frame, remove dirt from the glass, and leave the gutters clear enough that the next rain runs through them. If a residential window or a gutter run cannot be reached safely, the crew says so and photographs it instead of guessing.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter work are done in one visit by the same two people, so the crew is on the ladder for the gutters and the glass. We clean the gutters first and the windows last, so the runoff does not land on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us a photo of the front of the house and the number of windows, and we will quote it before we visit. Condos are quoted on the same basis, by stories and window count.
Yes, because the outside takes the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. On Springdale houses the outside of the glass is usually the dirtier side by spring.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, once the trees have leafed out, and in the fall, after the leaves come down. Those are the two windows when our calendar fills fastest.
Not if the gutters are done first. When we clear a run, the grit and the black water come down the wall, so we rinse the siding and wait before we touch the glass.
Screens, sills and frames are part of our washing services for the exterior window job, and downspout flushing is included in the gutter work too. Tracks are cleaned from the outside as part of the visit.
Not on this visit. The crew cleans the exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
