Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Ohio, most homeowners who book both do it in the spring and the fall, and we keep that schedule on our own calendar too. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get your number.
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 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 starting prices are where a job begins, and the quote you get comes from your house. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, whether the job is window washing, gutter work, or both. Our washing services cover the outside glass, and the window cleaning services are priced as one job with the gutters.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof that needs the boom or scissor lift takes longer than a single-story run. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes and picture windows, which take more time to rinse and dry without leaving a mark. Grime that has built up for years takes more passes than a light film. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before the flow is clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are priced separately, as is hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which no cleaning removes. A quote covers the outside only, and a request for interior and exterior glass is priced separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Customers on regular cleanings get the same crew and the same order of work each time, so a repeat quote starts from the last visit.
On our Wilmington jobs the quotes that surprise people are the ones where nobody counted the windows first. The fastest way to get an exact number is to send a text with a photo of the front of the house, along with your stories and a rough window count. We will reply with the quote and the day we can come. Across Ohio the same rule holds: the number depends on what is on the house, and the phone call is where we confirm it before anyone climbs a ladder.
| 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 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 each season. Most houses book window and gutter cleaning together, and the calendar follows the same seasons for residential and commercial glass alike. What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In the spring a fine film sits on south-facing glass and a paste packs the gutters, so the first visit is the one where we see the most buildup. Pollen film often needs more than plain water, so the cleaning solutions come out for it and the glass is rinsed after. In the fall the leaf load is the thing to watch, and wind and storm season can move the date of either visit by a few weeks.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof brings needles and grit into the gutters between cleanings, and clogged gutters are the first sign of it. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house close to a busy road or an active construction site also collects more dust on the glass than a quiet street does. Multi-story buildings follow the same plan, but the upper glass takes longer. Gutters that overflow for a season can cause water damage at the fascia and foundation, which is why the third visit matters. On houses like that we suggest the third visit before the first problem shows up.
The buildup sits on the outside glass, and the windows inside rarely need the same attention. You will know windows need attention when there is a haze on the glass that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either one between visits, send us a photo and we will tell you what 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 crew works across the Wilmington area, and we book by phone or text. Our crew provides cleaning services for gutters and windows, and most window cleaners never touch a gutter. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us your stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you an estimate and the next open date. Lead time changes with the season, and during the busiest windows of the year, when the spring and leaf loads peak, our calendar fills quickly, so it helps to book before the crew is fully scheduled. We call before we come, so you always know the day and the arrival window.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and the outside of every window and every gutter run is done without anyone needing to be present. Every window on the outside that can be reached safely gets done, and the sill is wiped on each one. What we need from you is access: an unlocked side gate, cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and a clear path to the downspouts. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most people expect. Professional window cleaning means purified water and a pole, and that is what the crew brings. Keep a sharp eye on the schedule each season and book early enough that your house gets the same care our regular customers get, with the same crew and the same order of work every time.
Yes, it is the same two people. We work on residential properties, and we are a gutter company that also cleans the outside of windows, so the crew that clears your gutters is the crew that cleans your glass in the same visit.
We do not quote a figure on the web. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, or for condos from the number of exterior windows, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front and your window count, and you will have the number before the crew is booked.
Usually the outside is where the buildup is. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the outside glass, and cleaning the inside alone will not remove dirt from it. We clean the outside, which is the part the weather leaves behind.
Across Ohio, most of our customers book in the spring and the fall, with the spring visit running late May to June. In Wilmington the fall visit is in late October to November, after the leaves drop.
No, we do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. When a gutter is cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall and across the windows below it, and roof runoff carries the rest down the glass. So the glass is washed once we are finished with the roof.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the visit. We do not bill them as extras, and we tell you on the phone what is included before the crew arrives.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, on every residential window the crew can reach safely. We do not clean inside windows or do pressure washing as part of the window and gutter cleaning, so the job stays focused on the outside of the house.
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 leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
