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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Ohio, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest on the glass and in the runs.
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, both jobs in one visit cost less than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes all change the quote. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and not billed as extras.
On the phone we ask for the number of stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Those three things get you the exact number before the crew is booked, and it is the same number on the invoice. If the house has large picture windows or a run of windows that are hard to reach, tell us when you call so we can plan the boom or scissor lift before the day.
Spring jobs carry their own kind of film on the glass, so the visit is priced with that season in mind. Cleaning solutions are chosen for the surface, and the crew works the frames and sills in the same pass.
Across Ohio, the houses we see with the most work tend to be the ones where the gutters have gone longest without a visit. Clogged gutters push runoff against the fascia, and that water is how water damage starts. Getting the gutters cleared on schedule keeps that work small.
Residential and commercial jobs are quoted the same way, by what is on the building. Regular cleanings get the lowest number per visit, because the gutters never pack to the point where the crew has to rebuild the work. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs; this visit covers the exterior only. To get your number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will send a written estimate.

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.
Across Ohio, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October or November. Most of our Stow customers book both twice a year on that pattern, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. The dates move with the weather.
In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and sticky tree residue packed into the gutter elbows. In fall we find the leaf load, wet and matted, sitting in the runs. Across Ohio, severe thunderstorms and derechos can shift both visits, so we confirm the date a few days out. Professional window cleaning in spring removes the film; in fall it is the leaves that decide how long the runs stay clear.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the frames and sills than a quiet street does. Those are the houses where window cleaners and gutter crews end up back on the same ladder within the year.
You know the windows need attention when you only see the haze in low sun, late in the afternoon. You know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Clogged gutters that go unchecked are how water damage gets into the fascia and soffit, so if you see either sign, call us before the next storm.
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 schedule service in the order the calls come in, and the calendar is tightest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with your number of stories, and we will confirm the slot and the price the same day we speak. Booking an off-peak week gets you the earliest date, and we call before we come.
Our cleaning services cover residential properties and commercial buildings, including multi-story buildings where a boom or scissor lift is needed, and the same two-person crew does exterior window and gutter cleaning on each. We clean every window on the outside of the house that can be reached from the ground or from a boom or scissor lift, and we do the sill and frame in the same pass to remove dirt before it can run back onto the glass. Each job ends with a check of every window before the crew leaves, so nothing gets skipped.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and you get photos of the runs and the finished glass by text before the truck leaves. For a residential window or a full house, the estimate covers every window on the outside and the gutters on the same visit.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing both in one visit is cheaper than two separate trips, and the window washing services are priced on the same invoice.
The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the exact figure before we book.
On our Stow jobs the outside takes the most damage: rain dust, sprinkler spots and grime build up on the glass and the frames, and the inside does not see any of it. Cleaning the outside is what makes clean windows look right from the street, which is most of the curb appeal.
Most of our Stow customers book late May or June for the spring visit and late October or November for the fall visit. Those are the two windows that fill first, so call before the calendar does.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job. None of it is billed as an extra on the invoice.
We do not clean windows inside on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. This is exterior glass and gutters only.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in a condo, tell us when you call so we can check access to the gutters first.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
