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 the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Ohio, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, and we can give you a number from your stories and approximate window count.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and the window count and we will quote you a firm figure before the crew is scheduled.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A steep roof or a third story means more time on the ladder and the boom or scissor lift. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes that take two people to handle safely. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, and the windows inside are not part of this price at all.
Across Ohio, the houses that surprise us on the quote are the ones with clogged gutters that have been overflowing for seasons, where the fascia behind the run has taken water damage we have to photograph and report. We note it and tell you what we saw. For the exact number, send a text with the stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with the figure. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers and the window washing that goes with it are priced on the visit, not guessed from the phone, so the number stays the number. Our window cleaners do the exterior glass with a water-fed pole, and on multi-story buildings or large homes the approach is the same from the ground. Good curb appeal comes from clean glass and clear gutters together, and that is the reason we price them together. Professional window cleaning means the crew shows up, does the job in the order we describe, and sends the photos before it leaves.
| 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 customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Across Ohio, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, and most of our cleaning services follow that rhythm. In the spring, after the seed and pollen drop finishes, we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In the fall, the leaf load is the thing, and wet leaves in the runs are what sag hangers under ice later in the year. Across Ohio, severe thunderstorms and derechos can move these dates a few weeks in either direction.
Some residential properties need a third visit, and we say so after the first one. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so those customers book three or four times a year. A sprinkler line that hits a residential window leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and that is a timing issue more than a dirt issue. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets more grime on the outside of the glass and more runoff in the gutters, and it tends to need a closer schedule.
Windows need a cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low, the kind you could not see at noon. Once the crew is up, every window on the outside gets done in the same pass, and clean windows show the difference right away. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout. If you want the outside of your glass and runs kept up with regular cleanings, tell us your cycle when you book and we will set it up.
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 work across the city and the houses on every side of it, and the crew is on the same routes as our other Trenton jobs. Our window cleaning services and gutter work go out on the same route. Our washing services cover the glass and the gutters, using purified water instead of cleaning solutions, and siding is not part of the visit. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: call (866) 435-6328 or send the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. Lead time on a slot is set by our calendar and is confirmed when you book.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, so booking early in those months helps. We serve residential and commercial clients here, from small offices to condos and multi-unit buildings, and many of the commercial ones schedule service on a fixed rotation so the calendar stays steady. For a home, the same rule applies: the sooner you call, the sooner we can clear the runs before the next rain washes debris into the downspouts. Gutters and downspouts dumping runoff onto a walkway or a patio, or grime left in the joints, are the first things we check. We will also remove dirt from the sills and frames in the same visit so the whole exterior looks cared for.
Yes. The same two people do both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing gets washed twice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us the stories and a photo of the front, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you a figure before anything is booked.
On our jobs, the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those do not come off the inside of the glass. Clean the outside and the inside will look better for longer, and the glass stays clearer between cleanings.
Our Trenton customers book in the spring and fall. Across Ohio the spring visit usually lands in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, and most houses do well on regular cleanings twice a year. The calendar fills in those two busy windows.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared above a window, the grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall stops dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and picture windows are done from the same setup, with tracks included on the exterior side. We note anything that needs more time before we start.
No. On this visit we do exterior glass only, rinsed with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing. Booking interior and exterior cleaning means two separate bookings.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
