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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our Lansing customers most often book it in spring and fall, which is when dust and leaves build up on the house and the glass.
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 number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts are flushed, screens rinsed and sills wiped as part of the job, and none of it is billed as an extra.
On a Lansing job, the film on south-facing glass and the seed paste in the elbows often add time to a window and gutter visit, so we check them before we quote. Our crew asks for a photo of the front of the house by text so we can see the roofline and the glass before we give you the number. Between visits, many of our Lansing customers ask for regular cleanings on the runs that take the most grit, and we set that schedule once you tell us your stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the front of the house, or book a date, and we will give you the exact figure.
Gutters and windows that have been left a season show it, and that is the point where the cost goes up. On one Lansing house the quote changed only because the back run had not been opened in years, and we priced that run once we saw it. Nothing about the price changes after we arrive, because the crew confirms the count against the photo first.
We keep the cleaning solutions simple and matched to the glass and the frame, so we can say plainly what goes on the house. Interior and exterior work are separate, and this visit covers the exterior only. Commercial jobs are priced per building, and residential and commercial work follow the same count of stories and glass.
| 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.
Most of our Lansing customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them.
In spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass and a paste sits in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load that fills the downspouts, and clogged gutters can cause water damage at the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we watch the forecast and call before we come.
Houses under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roof, are on every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or construction collects more grime on the glass. Those houses need a third visit as we see them.
For a professional window cleaning schedule, the frequency comes down to what the house is standing in. A house with few trees and no sprinkler spotting does well with one visit a year in late fall, and it keeps its curb appeal through the winter.
You can tell the windows need it when the haze shows only when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need it when clogged gutters let runoff sheet over the edge in 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 window cleaning services cover residential window and gutter jobs across Lansing, including residential properties, condos, and the homes that sit near busy roads. Booking is simple: you get a quote by phone or text from the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we schedule the visit once you confirm the count. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so book early if you want a set date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not come inside. Every window gets the same treatment from the same ladder position, and each sill is wiped as the glass is done, so the clean windows stay that way until the next rain. If a pane or sill cannot be reached safely, the crew photographs it and tells you.
A window and gutter cleaning visit is one crew in one trip, so you are not paying twice for the same ladder setup. Commercial jobs and multi-story buildings get the same scheduled approach, with the lift chosen to suit the building. We will schedule service on the date that suits the house and the calendar.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both. Our washing services take the gutters first and the glass last, which is why we can bundle the visit into one trip.
We give the number from the stories and the window count, by phone or text. We do not quote a range without seeing the house, so send a photo of the front and we will tell you the figure.
Yes, because the outside takes the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spotting, and the inside never sees any of it. Cleaning the outside also helps remove dirt before it bakes onto the glass.
Our Lansing customers most often book in spring, once the dust settles, and in fall, after the leaves come down. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the open dates.
No, because the gutters go first and the glass goes last. When the gutters are cleared, the debris and black water come down the wall, so the glass has to wait until the wall dries.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. They are not billed as extras.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only, and the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. Text a photo of the roofline if you want us to confirm the count first.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
