Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing drips back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Our crew has done this work across Michigan through spring and fall, and most of our Berkley customers book it for the same two windows of the year.
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.
Our washing services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count. The bundle, gutters and downspouts with exterior windows in one visit, costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and 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.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are the crew's own observations on the day: a third story or a multi-story building with a roof too steep to walk, a window count with oversized picture windows, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Most houses sit in a predictable range once the crew has seen the front, which is why we ask for a photo of the front of the house by text when you book.
Our crew cleans the glass and the gutters on each house the same way, so the work does not change with the price. Window washing on a two-story home is a morning job, and the grime on the lower panes is usually lighter than the film on the upper glass. For houses that have had regular cleanings, the gutters tend to come down faster than the glass. If you have never had the outside of your windows done, expect the first visit to take a little longer than the ones after it.
Interior and exterior cleaning is not one job here, so the quote covers the exterior only. To get an exact number, text a photo of the front of the house with your stories and a rough window count, or call (866) 435-6328. We will call before we come and confirm the figure in writing.
| 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.
Across Michigan, spring visits run from late May to June and fall visits from late October to November, so a two-visit year is the usual plan in Berkley. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar: the window and gutter work lands on the same day, and the trip happens once. Severe thunderstorms across Michigan can shift these dates, so we confirm the day with you before we book it.
In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters, and the window and gutter work on a house that skipped the spring visit shows it right away. A rinse alone does not always lift that film, so cleaning solutions come out for the glass that needs them. In late fall the leaf load is what we find in the runs and on the glass below them. Runoff from clogged gutters is the usual route to water damage at the fascia, since water that sheets over the edge in a storm runs down the wall instead of the downspout.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof usually need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses also need a closer look. A house near a busy road collects more film on the lower panes, and so do multi-story buildings with a lot of glass, so both often move onto a shorter schedule. A house with no trees near the roof can stay on the two-visit schedule.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze only when the sun is low, even if the windows inside look clean. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during 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.
We have cleaned gutters and exterior glass across most of Berkley, and our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year when the pollen and leaf loads peak. Booking starts with a call or a text at (866) 435-6328: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We schedule service for the week that suits your sprinkler and driveway, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but the side gate should be open. Our crew provides professional window cleaning on every house, and our window cleaning services give every window its own pass, including the sill and the frame, so we remove dirt from each one before we move on.
Cleaning services for a house are only as good as the schedule behind them, so we keep each slot short and confirm the day the week before. If you want a steady schedule on your home's curb appeal through the year, ask for the twice-a-year plan at booking.
Yes, our crew does both on the same visit. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so runoff from the runs does not reach the clean panes.
We quote each residential window job from the stories and the window count. Send a photo of the front and we will give you the number on the phone or by text.
On a Berkley house, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots. The windows inside can look fine while the outside is hazy in low sun.
Across Michigan, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run late October to November. Book in one of those windows and we confirm the day with you.
This page covers residential properties in Berkley, priced by stories and window count. Condos are quoted the same way, but building access rules come first, and commercial jobs are quoted on their own, so call before booking.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job. We do not bill them separately.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside are not part of the quote. Pressure washing is not included either.
You do not need to be home. Most of the frequently asked questions we get are about access, so here is what to do before the crew arrives: turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
