Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price the bundle by the number of stories, and both washing services in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Washington Court House jobs, most customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, and that calendar is where the work starts.
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.
Our window cleaning services are priced from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Window washing bundled into one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is what moves the quote on the day. Multi-story buildings take longer to set up, and a third story or a steep roof changes how the crew sets up. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows that take more handling. Clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear, and gutters that have not been cleaned in years run long too. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it. Most of the grime we remove is ordinary road dust and film, and regular cleanings remove dirt before it builds up.
The quote moves with stories and window count, and a back run or sprinkler spotting on the glass can change the time. Tell us how many stories the house has and about how many windows it carries, and send a photo of the front of the house by text. That gives us what we need to quote the exact number before we book the crew.
| 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.
Spring visits run late May to June across Ohio, and fall visits run late October to November. Most of our Washington Court House customers book both visits each year. In the spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass and the pollen paste sits in the gutters, so one visit in the spring clears both. In the fall the leaf load and wet mat come down, and that is the second visit. The window and gutter work runs on the same calendar, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts loaded between cleanings, and clogged gutters that overflow at the eaves can lead to water damage near the foundation. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and that calls for a separate mineral step. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more dust, so the glass hazes faster. Each visit the crew brings its own cleaning solutions, so there is nothing for you to set out. Across Ohio, severe thunderstorms and derechos can move the dates, and we call before we come when they do.
You will see the window problem when the sun is low, as a haze you only notice at certain angles. You will see the gutter problem when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. If either shows up between visits, text us a photo and we will tell you which one it is.
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 crews have cleaned residential properties across the city, and our cleaning services follow the same order on each: the gutters go first, then the glass. Booking a professional window cleaning starts with an estimate by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you the number before we book the date. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we will tell you the first open day when you call.
The two busy windows are the spring and fall stretches described above, when the leaves and grit arrive together. Schedule service early in those weeks if you want a particular day, because the calendar fills fast. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of the finished runs and the glass before the crew leaves.
Our crews bring the same care to every window and every run, and we treat each house as a job we want to hold up after the rain. Whether it is a residential window on the first floor or a picture window upstairs, the crew uses the same method. A clean outside keeps the curb appeal you expect from a well-kept home, and it keeps the frame and sill from holding grit that wears the paint. For a residential and commercial building, call first, because this page covers homes only. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will hold a slot for you.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run back onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Owners of condos should say which windows are theirs, since shared glass in a building is not part of the quote. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the exact figure before we book.
Yes, because the outside takes the hardest hit here. Rain dust, grit and sprinkler spots build up on the glass from the outside, and cleaning the inside does not touch them.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and again in the fall, so the work lands after the spring rains and after the leaves drop. Those are the two windows when the calendar fills.
No, because the gutters are cleared and flushed before anyone touches the glass. The runoff is cleared out, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then do we start on the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side when they are reachable from outside.
No, this visit covers the outside of the glass only. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and interior and exterior work is not part of this visit. Pressure washing is not included either.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
