Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass never gets dirty water on it twice. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across Michigan, most of our customers book both in spring and fall, when the tree dust and the leaf drop build up. We work on residential properties and commercial buildings, and the quote you get by phone is the number you pay.
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 window washing services are priced 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, and it covers downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping as part of the job, not as extras.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same every time. A third story or a steep roof changes how the crew sets up. Window count and oversized panes take longer than standard sashes. Heavy grime on the glass, or runoff staining the siding under a clogged run, takes more time than a light film. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear, and the crew checks the gutters and downspouts before it touches the glass. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run underneath. Condos with several units under one roof follow the same steps, with the crew working from more than one setup. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that no cleaning removes, so we tell you about it before we start.
One Beverly Hills job shows how this works. The house had gutters that had not been opened in several seasons and a sprinkler line that hit the front glass every evening. The crew cleared the gutters and flushed the downspouts, then cleaned the glass, and flagged the sprinkler spotting on the visit so the customer knew it would come back. The quote was set by the stories and window count they gave us on the phone, and the job came in at that number. If you send us a photo of the front of your house by text along with your story count, we can give you the exact number before we book.

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 customers here book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Michigan the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and the fall visit in late October to November.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load that matters, a wet mat in the gutter and grit on the sill. Large picture windows show the film first, because the glass is so big. Storm and wind season moves the dates a little, so the calendar is set with you on the phone. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction usually means a third visit, because the dirt and spotting come back faster than twice a year allows.
Cleanings are simpler than they sound: the crew goes around the house once, from the top of the gutters to the bottom of the glass. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass. Regular cleanings keep the gutters flowing and the glass clear between seasons. The crew cleans the exterior of the glass only, so if you want the interior and exterior of the same window done, that is a separate booking. You will know when the glass needs attention if you see a haze only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a 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 crew works across Beverly Hills, and we serve the city as a whole rather than one block at a time. We have cleaned on both sides of the city and on the streets near the main roads, so the scheduling is the same whichever side you are on. Windows inside the house are not part of the job, since the crew works only from the outside.
Booking starts with a quote by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you the number and a date. The lead time is set by the calendar, not by the day you call, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. If you want a slot in those windows, call (866) 435-6328 early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew checks every window and every gutter run on the list before it leaves.
We run window cleaning services for residential and commercial properties, with professional window cleaning and the same gutter crew on the same visit. The crew works from a boom or scissor lift on multi-story buildings, and on a residential window up on the second floor it works from a pole rather than a ladder. We also clean the glass and gutters on houses with clogged gutters, because water damage starts there, and we keep the curb appeal of the house in mind when we finish. Window cleaners who only do the glass often miss the gutters, and gutter cleaners who only do the gutters miss the glass; we do both.
Yes, window and gutter cleaning is one visit by the same two people, gutters first and glass last, so the glass does not get dirty water on it after it has been washed.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text. There is no fixed figure we can print here, but the quote you get is the number you pay.
Yes, because the outside carries the dust, the rain film and the sprinkler spots, and that film sits on the outside face of every window, which interior cleaning does not reach. Clean windows on the outside are the part of the house most people see first.
Across Michigan, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits late October to November, so call (866) 435-6328 early to schedule service for those months.
No. We clean gutters first and glass last, because the leaves, the grit and the black water under them run down the wall and across any window below. Doing it the other way round means washing the glass twice.
The screens are rinsed and the sills are wiped as part of the job. The crew removes dirt from the tracks before the glass is rinsed, and tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior of the glass only, and we do not do pressure washing or interior glass.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, 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.
