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 done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Auburn Hills jobs most customers book the spring and fall visits, which is when the grit and leaves build up and show on 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 a window and gutter visit done in one trip costs less than booking gutters and windows separately. 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. The quote covers exterior glass only, so if you want interior and exterior glass done, that is a separate number.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the ones the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that has to be worked from a boom or scissor lift, a window count that includes oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and come down packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. We see each of these often enough to name them up front. Glass gets purified water first, and cleaning solutions come out only for hard-water spots that water alone will not lift, which is quoted separately.
On our Auburn Hills work the pollen season is the reason many houses are on the schedule in spring, and the same gutters carry the grime that collects on the glass below them. A residential and commercial mix of customers here tends to ask the same question first: how many stories, how many windows, and is it one visit or two. Give us those numbers and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we can tell you the exact figure before the crew is booked. Ask for a written estimate and we send it before any work is scheduled. Regular cleanings after the first visit are quoted the same way, from the stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text that photo today and we will book a date.

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.
On our Auburn Hills jobs most customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Window cleaners often plan around the leaves, but professional window cleaning on a fall visit, usually late October to November, catches the leaf load that has already come down into the gutters. Houses on the twice-a-year plan get both cleaning services in the same trip, and at each visit the pollen film shows on south-facing glass and clogged gutters start to back water up. Storms and wind move the dates a little each year, so we book from what the house shows us rather than from a fixed date.
The houses that need a third visit are the ones we see most often. Heavy tree cover over the roof of a multi-story house keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings, so those customers run three or four visits a year. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and we schedule those houses sooner. A clogged gutter that overflows onto the siding is how water damage starts, so those houses get the earlier visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets a film of dust on the outside glass that a single cleaning does not stay ahead of. Glass that looks dull from the street hurts curb appeal, which is why the street side gets checked first.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. Gutters tell you too, when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, text us a photo and we will tell you which visit is next. We only book the visits the house needs, and the same crew is on the ladder for both jobs. Windows inside stay on your own schedule.
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 handles window and gutter cleaning across the city, and on each job we walk the outside of the house before we quote the work. Booking works the same way on every street: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we come back with a window and gutter quote. The lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills, so the sooner you ask the sooner we can schedule service.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, so you can leave the side gate unlocked and keep pets in while the ladders are up. Residential properties and commercial buildings both get the same careful handling, and we keep the glass and the gutters on one schedule so that every window is done in the order that protects it. Each residential window gets the same handling as the rest of the house.
Once the estimate is approved we book a date and send a reminder the day before. If a window or a run needs a second look, the crew notes it and tells you before they leave, so you know what to expect. We want clean windows that stay that way between visits, and that starts with a schedule service call and a straight answer.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters and downspouts go first and the glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and our window cleaning services are quoted by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front, and we will quote the full bundle.
On our Auburn Hills houses the outside collects rain runoff, dust and sprinkler spots, so the outside is usually what needs the work. Our exterior cleaning is how we remove dirt from the frames and glass, and the inside stays yours to clean on your own schedule.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, after the seed drop, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Those are the two visits that keep the gutters flowing and the glass clear.
No, we clean the gutters first and the glass last, because the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall and across any window below. Cleaning the glass first means washing off the grime twice before we leave.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. The tracks are included on the same visit, so you do not see a separate charge for them on the invoice.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so we do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing. The same exterior-only rule applies to condos. If you need interior or other washing services, tell us and we will point you to the right provider.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate; that is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
