Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing falls on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through every season, and you will see the same faces on the ladder each time.
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 professional window cleaning and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing both in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and a house with clear gutters and clean glass shows better curb appeal. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. 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 our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings are quoted by floor count for the same reason. Picture windows and other oversized panes add time on the glass, and so does a high window count. Clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves need more work than a light run, and a run that has overflowed for a season can cause water damage at the fascia. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that no cleaning removes, and we tell you about it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Symmes house our crew usually finds the same pattern: a few runs that look clear from the ground but hold packed debris at the elbow, and windows that carry more grime on the south side. We sort that out on a visit, not from a guess. The most useful thing you can send us is a photo of the front of the house and a count of stories, so the quote matches what we will see when we arrive.
| 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 Symmes customers book both gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Across Ohio, the spring visit window runs late May to June, and a residential window that faces south picks up a pollen film in that stretch while the gutters hold pollen paste. The fall visit runs late October to November, when the gutters hold the wet leaf mat that sags under the first freeze. Storms and strong wind move these dates from year to year, so we book by the condition of the house rather than by a fixed day. To schedule service in either window, book early.
Regular cleanings twice a year suit most houses, though some need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means the downspouts pack between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grit faster than most, and a rinse alone will not remove dirt that has dried on the glass. On our jobs these houses are on a shorter schedule, and we say so after the first visit.
Windows need another look when you see haze only at low sun, which means film is on the glass, and the crew checks every window on that side before leaving. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain, which means a run is full or the flow is blocked. If you see either, call us and we will look at the house.
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 windows on residential properties across the Symmes area, and we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front when you call or text, so the estimate is ready before we arrive. To schedule service, call or text, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, condos included, and the crew does not come inside the house.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, when our calendar fills fastest. If you want a slot in those months, ask early. Outside those windows we can usually fit you in with a short wait. Our window cleaning services cover the glass outside the house only. Window washing services follow the same visit, and the gutter work covers the full run of gutters and downspouts, so runoff from the roof is cleared at the outlet. Residential and commercial jobs are scheduled the same way, and we are straight about lead times on the phone.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both. We clean the gutters first, flush every downspout, and then do the glass, so the dirty water from the roof never reaches a clean window.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front and we will give you a written estimate before the visit.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Cleaning the inside does not remove any of that from the glass, and harsh cleaning solutions are not needed for it, since purified water does the job.
Most of our Symmes customers book their cleanings in late spring and again in late fall. Those are the busy windows, so asking early helps.
No, we work gutters first and glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the debris and black water come down the wall, and we wait before touching the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the exterior work.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs on our calendar, so ask us about the inside separately.
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, 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.
