Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your residential windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Ohio, most of our work for homeowners is booked in the spring and fall, and that is when clean glass and clear gutters do the most for curb appeal.
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 price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and ask for a written estimate before anything is booked. Our quotes cover exterior work only, so a request for interior and exterior glass is a different conversation, and we tell you on the phone whether we can take it.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means longer on the ladder. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows, which take more time per pane. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, cost more to clear. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Ohio, our customers ask about window washing services more often than anything else, and the question is usually how much grime built up between visits. The honest answer is that the number depends on the house. Some homes need only a light pass, while others have a film of dust that takes more care. Regular cleanings keep that film from building up, which is why we suggest you tell us how long it has been since the glass was last done. Send us a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what we see from it.

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, most of our customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In spring the downspout elbows fill with seeds and pollen paste, and the glass picks up a yellow pollen film that shows most on south-facing windows. In the fall the gutters hold a wet leaf mat, and clogged gutters like that send runoff down the wall instead of into the downspout.
Houses under heavy tree cover tend to need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the spots that come back a day after we leave, and those need a mineral treatment rather than a second cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames, so it is worth booking one more time a year. A gutter that overflows at the foundation can lead to water damage, so a clogged run is worth clearing before May through July, the wettest months of the year.
You will know the windows need attention when a haze shows up only when the sun is low. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a heavy 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 cleans the gutters and exterior windows of residential properties across Upper Arlington, and we book by phone or text. To get an estimate, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we will confirm a slot. Our calendar fills during the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months helps. We are one of the professional window cleaning services that brings its own water and power, so you do not need to supply either. We use purified water on the glass rather than cleaning solutions, so most panes dry clean without them. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We handle residential and commercial work, and for multi-story buildings the same crew can set up a schedule service that keeps every window and every gutter run on the same cycle. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count. If you want a regular plan instead of one visit, ask for a written estimate that shows the frequency and the total for the year.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and we do the gutters first so the glass stays clean.
We do not give a figure from a list. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house and ask for a written estimate.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between seasons. Cleaning the windows inside does not stop those from collecting on the outside.
Across Ohio, most of our customers book in the spring and the fall, and those are the months when our calendar is busiest. Booking a few weeks ahead keeps you from waiting for a slot.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass, so runoff never lands on clean panes. Clearing the gutters first is also how we remove dirt from the wall.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the outside of the windows.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside glass or do pressure washing here.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
