Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the 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 separately. On our Battle Creek jobs, most of our customers book it for the spring and fall visits, which is why one crew doing both makes sense for a house like yours.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with nothing added later.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A high count of windows, or oversized panes, adds glass to wash. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Quotes for a Battle Creek house usually start from the data we have on the home itself: how many stories, roughly how many windows, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. A photo of the back run helps when the gutters are the bigger part of the work. With those, we can give you a firm number before the crew is scheduled, and the window-and-gutter bundle is the one most of our customers choose for a single visit. We also keep the pollen and grime in mind during the spring visit, since the film on glass and the paste in the gutters both add time.
Cleaning solutions for the glass are chosen for the job, and we use purified water so the glass dries without a film. For picture windows and large panes, we plan the setup before the crew arrives. For regular cleanings on a schedule, the second visit is usually quoted at the same rate as the first, once the crew knows the house. The same method applies to residential and commercial glass, and access is what changes the price. Interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs, quoted on their own. To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front.

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 Battle Creek jobs, most of our customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and the dates shift with the weather across Michigan, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense.
Window cleaners see the same pattern on most houses: a film on south-facing glass in spring, and the leaf load and wet leaf mat in the gutters in fall. Severe thunderstorms across Michigan can move either visit by a few weeks, so we confirm the date by phone. Multi-story buildings and houses under heavy tree cover often need a third visit, and so does a house with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, since those spots come back a day later.
Keep up with regular cleanings on a fixed yearly timing, since cleaning services from a professional window cleaning crew catch the haze and gutter sheeting early, and clogged gutters left for a season can show water damage at the fascia board, so clearing them on schedule costs less than replacing rot later and keeps the curb appeal of the house intact.
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 the Battle Creek area for window and gutter cleaning, and we schedule service by the stories and window count you give us on the phone or by text. Send a photo of the house front and we confirm the slot. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of spring and fall our calendar fills first, so book early if you want a specific date. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we call again when the truck is on the way. Our crew handles residential properties and the exterior of each home, so the residential window, every window and every run get the same attention on the visit, from the top floor down to the sill.
We serve homeowners who want clean windows and clear gutters without juggling two companies, and we treat each house as its own job. If you are not sure whether a window or a gutter run needs the crew this season, send the photo and we will tell you what we see.
Yes, it is the same two-person crew, and the washing services are done in one visit: gutters first, then the outside of the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and condos are quoted the same way, by phone or text before the visit. We do not quote a figure without those details, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Yes, on the houses we clean here the outside carries most of the buildup: tree film in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that cleaning from the inside never touches. The interior glass is a separate question that we do not handle on this visit.
Our customers here most often book in the spring and in the fall, which is when the pollen and the leaves build up. The exact timing depends on the weather that year, so we confirm the date by phone.
No, we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, because the runoff of leaves, grit and black water runs down the wall and across any window below. Washing the glass first means washing it again.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, sills are wiped, and the frames are done as part of the window cleaning. None of these are billed as extras.
We clean the exterior of the windows only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing as part of this service, and windows inside are a separate job.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock any side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
