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 booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Ohio, most of our customers book this in the spring and the fall, and we walk you through the timing when you call (866) 435-6328 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 price for window washing comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window cleaning services and washing services follow the same rule. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Five things move the quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Window count and oversized picture windows change the rig we bring. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a cleaning, so we flag it on the visit rather than promise it away. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. The number covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior work is not in it.
To get the exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories. A photo of the front of the house by text is enough for the first estimate, and we confirm the window count on arrival. If you want regular cleanings, say so when you text, and the cleanings are quoted from the same stories and window count. Nothing is added for the work we already listed.
| 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.
Across Ohio, most of our customers book both jobs twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In the spring the downspout elbows fill with seeds and pollen paste, and a film of pollen settles on south-facing glass. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that packs the runs. Cleaning windows inside the house is not part of this schedule, since the visit covers the outside only. The same water-fed pole and cleaning solutions serve residential and commercial glass, so the visit looks the same on either. Storm and wind seasons, with severe thunderstorms and derechos across Ohio, can move these dates a few weeks in either direction.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and a packed run is how water damage starts at the fascia. 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 grime faster than the rest, and so do multi-story buildings on a main street. On those houses we tell you at the first visit what the crew sees and suggest the schedule that fits.
Two signs tell you it is time. Haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low means the windows need a cleaning. Water sheeting over the edge in rain means clogged gutters or a sagging run, and it is time to clear it.
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 Urbana and the surrounding area, and the calendar fills quickest in the two busy windows of the year, when the spring growth and the leaves come down. Book early in those months and you get your slot. To start, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a quote and the next open date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we call before we come so you know the crew is on the way. Our professional window cleaning and gutter work runs on the same schedule, so one booking covers both jobs and every window on the house. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, so the house looks cared for before anyone reaches the door.
Schedule service with us by phone or text, and we confirm the day and the arrival window before we start. Our window cleaners work from a water-fed pole for the upper stories and a ladder for the lower ones, and we keep the sill clean as we go so nothing drips back onto the glass. Whether you have one house or a row of them, the same two people handle both jobs, and the same cleaning services apply to every one.
Yes. On residential properties the same two people do both jobs in one visit. We start with the gutters and finish with the glass, so the dirty water from the gutters never lands on clean windows.
We give the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text, and each residential window counts toward that quote. The quote we give is the number we charge, and it includes the downspout flushing and haul-off.
On the houses we clean in Urbana, the outside carries the dust from the road and the sprinkler spots. Those build up on the glass whether the inside is clean or not. The pole and the rinse remove dirt before it builds into a film, and that is what you see when the sun is low.
Across Ohio most customers book in the spring and the fall. In the spring the seeds fill the runs, and in the fall the leaves do. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you which month fits your house.
Not with our order of work. We clear the roof, then the gutters and downspouts, flush every downspout, and let the wall stop running with runoff before we touch the glass. The glass is always the last thing we touch.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are cleaned on the same visit. None of it is billed as an extra on the invoice.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home, whether it is a house or one of the condos in a building. 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.
