Yes, 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 the two jobs separately. Most of our Truro customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, so the crew knows which runs and which panes need the most attention before we arrive.
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.
The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We build it from the stories, the approximate window count and what the gutters are holding, and we send it in writing before the crew books a date. For a window and gutter visit, downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually what the crew finds on the day. A steep roof or a third story means more setup, and a first cleaning after a long gap takes longer than the cleanings that follow. Oversized panes and picture windows take longer per pane. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years come down heavier, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning solutions alone will not remove, so we flag it on the estimate instead of surprising you afterward.
Here is how to get an exact number. Tell us the stories, give us a rough count of windows, and text a photo of the front of the house. We look at the photo, ask about anything hard to see from the road, and call you back with the figure. Give us the number of stories and the window count, and we handle the rest the same way for residential and commercial buildings.
| 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 Truro customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on this calendar. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep the buildup from setting. Across Ohio, spring visits usually fall in late May to June, and that timing catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutters. The fall visit, usually late October to November, clears the leaf load before the first hard freeze. Storm and wind seasons across Ohio can move those dates, so we call ahead to confirm.
Some houses need a third visit, and we are straightforward about which ones. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grime, and the rain in Truro's wettest months, April, May and July, does not remove dirt on its own. Multi-story buildings and clogged gutters are a common combination on these properties, and water damage often starts at the fascia when runs stay full.
Two signs tell you it is time. Window haze that only shows up when the sun is low hurts curb appeal, and it means the glass needs cleaning. Water sheeting over the gutter edge during rain means the run is blocked or sagging. If you see either one, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a date.
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.
Booking our cleaning services starts with a phone call or a text, and that is how we schedule service. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a time window. Lead time is set by the calendar, not by a promise we cannot keep, and we confirm the date in writing. Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, so booking early keeps the slot.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we arrive so you know when to expect the truck. Professional window cleaning on every window outside the house runs from the same setup as the gutter run, which is how the bundle stays efficient. A residential window on an upper floor is done from the pole, not a ladder. Clean windows and clear gutters on the same day mean one visit, one invoice and one set of photos sent to your phone.
We work on residential properties in Truro, and a sill, a screen or a track you have been meaning to get to is a fair thing to ask us about when you book. Tell us what you want covered and we will confirm it on the estimate.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and that is how we run every job. Gutters and downspouts go first, then the glass, so the runoff from the roof never lands on panes we have already finished.
The number comes from the stories, the approximate window count and what the gutters are holding. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we send you a written number before the crew books a date.
Usually yes, because the outside carries most of the grime that collects on the glass here: pollen in spring, rain dust and sprinkler spots year-round. Inside glass gets dirty from hands and air, but the outside takes the hit from weather, so our window cleaning services focus there first.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, after the seed and pollen drop and after the leaves come down. Those are the two visits that catch the most buildup, and condos with shared gutter runs follow the same timing.
Not if the order is right. Gutters first, glass last. When the runs are cleared and the downspouts flushed first, the wall gets a few minutes to drain before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks can be added to the estimate if you want them done, and we confirm it before the crew starts.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside the house, so interior and exterior glass are never part of the same job, and pressure washing falls outside our washing services.
No, 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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
