The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Most customers book in the spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves have built up and the glass needs it most.
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. Our window washing and gutter work share one setup per side of the house, which is where the saving comes from. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves it on our jobs is the story count and a steep roof, the window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with leaves and needles, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Worthington jobs the quote usually turns on a few things the crew finds on the day. A two-story house with a steep front roof takes longer on the gutters than the same footprint with a low pitch, and a house with a lot of large picture windows takes longer on the glass than one with small panes. Heavy grime on the glass takes longer than a light rinse, and multi-story buildings take longer on the upper glass, which is done from the pole. A residential window with sprinkler spotting is quoted separately, as described above. We tell you the number before we start, and it does not move once the ladders are up. To get the exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have. Call and we give you the next open date.
We keep the cleanings simple: you get regular cleanings on the schedule you pick, and the crew works from the same notes each visit, so the next quote is easier to give. Our window cleaning services and gutter work are quoted together on one number. Ask for the number in writing before you book our washing services, and ask whether a quote covers interior and exterior work. Ours covers exterior glass only.
| 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 |

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 customers book both twice a year, across Ohio in late May to June and in late October to November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. In the spring a dusty film builds on south-facing glass and a sticky paste packs into the gutters, and by fall it is the wet leaf mat that clogs the downspout elbows. Where a house sits under heavy tree cover, we see the pollen and grit come back fast enough that a third visit is worth the call.
The cases that need a third visit, as we see them, are a roof with heavy tree cover over it, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day after cleaning are mineral, not dirt), and a house close to a busy road or active construction. Those are the houses where the window and gutter schedule runs tighter than twice a year. Clogged gutters that sit through a wet season are how water damage starts at the fascia, so we would rather see you sooner than later. Residential and commercial glass follows the same seasons, and multi-story buildings need their upper glass planned into the first visit. The crew chooses the cleaning solutions for the frame and the glass, so a painted sill is not stripped by the wrong mix.
You can tell the windows need it when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and you can tell the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running out the downspouts. If the windows inside look hazy, check the outside glass first, since that is what we clean. If you see either, call the crew and we will book the next available 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 starts with a call or text to (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. We give you the number on the phone and hold a date while you decide. Lead time depends on the season, and in the two busy windows of the year, the spring dust and the fall leaves, our calendar fills faster, so it helps to book early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know the crew is on the way.
We work with residential properties that want the gutters and the glass done together, and the crew stays on the outside of the house the whole time. Professional window cleaning is what this crew does, and the gutters go in the same visit. Cleaning services like these are a big part of how we keep a house looking right through the year, and the crew is set up to schedule service around your calendar. A lot of the window cleaners in the area only do one job, so the bundle is worth asking about. Keeping the outside of the glass clean is most of the curb appeal work we do on the house, and we make sure every window gets its own pass, down to the sill, before the crew leaves.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, so the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes.
We do not give a figure in writing for this; the number comes from the stories and the count of each residential window on the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we quote it on the phone.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what dulls the glass here: grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots. The inside can be fine while the outside is hazy, and that is the part we clean.
Across Ohio, the usual windows are late May to June and late October to November, when the spring dust and fall leaves are heaviest on the glass. Most of our customers book both in those windows.
Not if the order is right. We clear the roof and the gutters, flush the downspouts, and let the wall drip before we touch the glass, so the runoff has already come down before the panes get wiped.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and frames are gone over to remove dirt before the glass is done. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and the crew tells you before billing anything extra.
No. Our crew cleans exterior glass only, so windows inside the house are not part of the visit, and we do not do pressure washing.
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 ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. If you are in a condo, confirm with the association who owns the exterior glass before booking.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
