The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing washes back onto clean windows. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew works across Michigan through spring and fall, and most of our Brandon customers book both at the same time. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule.
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 cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Bundling both jobs into one visit costs less than booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets on the ladder: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized panes, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Every window gets its sill wiped and its screen rinsed, and downspout flushing is part of the job, not billed as an extra.
To get the exact number, send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Our crew uses that to set the scope for our washing services, including the window washing and the gutter work, before anyone drives out, so the quote does not change on the day. Runoff from a clogged run is the first thing we check, because it tells us how much grime and debris is sitting behind the fascia. We clear it and flush the downspouts so water moves freely again, and we remove dirt from the glass only after the gutters are done. Most condos we service get the same treatment: one visit, one quote, one crew working from the top down.
| 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.
Most of our Brandon customers book both jobs twice a year, once in late spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Each visit finds something different. In the spring, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as paste, and the window and gutter run is where we see it first. By fall, the leaf load is what fills the downspouts and sits behind the fascia. Storm and wind seasons shift the dates a little from one year to the next, so we book by what the house shows us, not by the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps feeding grit into the gutters between cleanings, so cleaning solutions alone will not hold a run clear. A sprinkler line aimed at the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and a house close to a busy road or active construction picks up dust faster than most. Residential and commercial jobs both follow this pattern, so we plan the interval around what the building collects. Regular cleanings keep gutters and downspouts flowing and the glass readable, and the interior and exterior of a building age at different rates, so we only address the outside here.
Window haze is the sign that glass needs cleaning: you notice it when the sun is low and hits the panes at an angle. Water that sheets over the edge of a gutter during rain is the sign the gutters need attention. Picture windows show haze fastest because they are large and fully exposed, and that is usually what brings a customer in.
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 work throughout Brandon and the surrounding area, and we handle both residential properties and commercial buildings. Each residential window job follows the same order as a commercial one, including multi-story buildings where a boom or scissor lift is the safer way to reach the glass. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text, and to schedule service we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front, then give you a window. Our lead time depends on the calendar, and we tell you the next open slot when you call, rather than promising a date we cannot hold.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and our calendar fills during them. Booking early in those stretches is the surest way to get the slot you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we arrive. Cleaning services like this one are most useful when they catch clogged gutters before they overflow and cause water damage to the fascia and soffit. Professional window cleaning also keeps curb appeal up by leaving the glass clear and the trim wiped. Our window cleaners work from the outside only on this visit, and that keeps the job predictable for you and quick for the crew.
Yes. The same two people do both, in the same visit, and they do the gutters first and the glass last. The order matters because gutter debris washes down the wall and across any window below it.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Send a text with a photo of the front and the story count, and we give you the figure before we book.
The outside takes most of the load here, from pollen in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that leave a residue. Cleaning the inside will not remove any of that, so the outside is where the visible haze builds.
Most of our Brandon customers book in the late spring and again in the fall. Those are the two windows when pollen and leaves build up the most, and booking early keeps your slot.
Not when we work the order we use. Gutters first, glass last, so the debris is cleared and the wall has time to drip before anyone touches a pane.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. We do not bill them as extras, and we tell you before the visit if a screen is damaged and cannot be rinsed.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do windows inside the house or pressure washing, so the job stays focused on the outside of the house.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
