Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and downspouts and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dripping from the roof lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Michigan, our crews book spring and fall visits most often, when pollen and leaves are at their worst.
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 window washing 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 is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. Oversized panes and high window counts add time on the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more hauling. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are quoted before the visit. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that cleaning alone does not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Michigan we give the exact number from the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. That is how the quote gets to a firm figure before anyone climbs a ladder, and it is the same number that appears on the invoice. Our crews on Allen Park jobs have the same routine: check the gutter runs for water damage from clogged gutters, clear the wet leaf mat, flush each downspout until it runs clear, and only then do the glass. Pollen and grime build up on the lower panes and sills, and the runoff from the roof runs right across them. Our crew works to remove dirt from the frames and sills as part of the glass work, so the window does not come out of the job looking half done.
Condos with several stacked units, picture windows and long gutter runs are common, and our washing services for them are quoted from what we see. Send a photo of the house front by text and we will tell you what the quote covers before the crew is booked.

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 Michigan, most of our customers book both jobs twice a year, one in spring and one in fall, and that is why a single crew in a single visit makes sense for the calendar.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters, so the first pass is a full clean of both. In fall the leaf load builds up in the runs and on the roof edge, and the wet leaf mat blocks the flow when the rain starts. Storms and high winds move the dates some years, and we book around them.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit reach the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a mineral treatment and stronger cleaning solutions on a later visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the glass can handle, so those customers are on a shorter schedule.
On the windows, the sign that they need cleaning is a haze you only see when the sun is low, and it usually shows on every window that faces the afternoon sun. On the gutters, it is water sheeting over the edge in the rain. Clean gutters and glass also help curb appeal, especially on the front of the house, so if you see either, call and we will look at it. Our regular cleanings cover the interior and exterior of the glass, but this visit is exterior only, so the inside is up to you.
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 Allen Park and the surrounding area, on residential properties and on every residential window job in the neighborhoods that are part of our route each season. To schedule service, we start with a quote by phone or text. We need the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Once you have the quote, we give you a window for the visit, and that is usually the date the crew arrives.
Lead time depends on the season. The two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, fill the calendar fastest, so book early if you want a particular week. Outside those windows, slots open more easily. We do not promise same-day service, but we will tell you the first available date when you call.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew calls before we come, sends photos of the gutter runs and the finished glass, and leaves the property as they found it. We bring our own equipment and have a clear plan for each house. For residential and commercial buildings, the crew schedules around the building's access and the tenants' hours. Professional window cleaning on multi-story buildings uses the same method as on a house, with more ladder work and a boom or scissor lift where the height needs one.
Clogged gutters are the main cause of water damage we see when we first arrive. A run that backs up sends water behind the fascia and into the wall, and the window cleaning crew sees it first. Cleaning the gutters and the glass together lets us catch those problems on the same visit. Our window cleaning services and gutter work run the same route as our window cleaners, so you get one schedule and one bill.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning are one visit by the same two people, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dripped on after it is cleaned.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we will give you the exact figure.
It is worth it, because clean windows on the outside are the only way to remove the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that collect between visits. An inside clean removes none of them.
Across Michigan, most customers book in spring and in fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest. Text a photo of the roofline to ask for a written estimate and a date.
No. We clear the gutters first, flush the downspouts and let the wall drain before we touch the glass, so the runoff cannot reach it.
Screens are hand-rinsed, sills are wiped, and every window on the outside is done as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the exterior clean. Hard-water staining is a separate treatment.
The windows inside are not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. Our residential window service covers the outside glass and the gutters only.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Book a date by phone at (866) 435-6328.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
