Yes, the same two people handle window and gutter cleaning in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across Michigan, most customers book in spring and fall, and the professional window cleaning is the same on every house we clean. Call (866) 435-6328 for a number based on your stories and window count.
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.
Plenty of window cleaners quote a flat rate, but we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booked together, one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote: a third story, a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized panes, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras. A run that backs up over the edge can cause water damage at the fascia, so the crew flags it before anyone leaves the ladder.
Getting the exact number is simple for any window cleaning services booking. Text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and about how many windows you have. A residential and commercial mix of jobs runs through our calendar, so we ask the same questions for both. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, so windows inside the house are a separate job and this visit covers the outside only. The crew brings its own water and cleaning solutions. Pollen season and regular cleanings are the reason many customers ask about the bundle, and picture windows on the front of a house often add time, which we quote before we start. A clean front also does a lot for curb appeal.
| 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 Brownstown customers book both twice a year, in late May or June and again in late October or November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense.
In late spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In late fall the leaf load is the main job, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag under the weight of winter ice. Across Michigan, severe thunderstorms can move the dates by a few weeks.
Brownstown averages 37.4 inches of precipitation a year, with May, July and August the wettest months. Snow months run January through April and November through December, about 53.5 inches a year. Freeze risk is real here, so water left standing in clogged gutters can lead to water damage at the fascia before spring.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction collects grime faster than the calendar suggests, and the spring visit is when we remove dirt the winter left on the glass. Multi-story buildings on the same lot need more ladder time, so we say so on the phone. Cleaning services only do so much against that kind of buildup, so we tell you what we see on the first visit.
Runoff from a clogged run can streak the wall below it, which is why gutters and downspouts go first. You will see windows need it when you notice haze only in low sun. You will see gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in 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 clean residential window and gutter jobs across Brownstown, and we work on residential properties of all sizes, from one-story ranches to older two-story homes and condos. Our window cleaning services start with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we will give you the number before the calendar is set.
Lead time changes with the season. Across Michigan, the spring visit window runs late May to June and the fall window runs late October to November, and those are the weeks our calendar fills fastest, so if you want a specific date, book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We schedule service around the weather. Some window cleaners skip the gutters entirely, so booking both here means one crew and one visit. If rain is forecast for the day, we move the visit rather than start on wet glass, because the goal is clean windows that stay that way. Every window we touch gets the same visit, and a sill that holds debris gets wiped as part of the job. For a one-off request, or a regular schedule on a house you want kept on a set calendar, let us know when you call.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the glass in one visit, and we do gutters first so nothing dirty lands on clean glass.
Our window cleaning services are priced from the stories and the window count, not a guess. Text us a photo of the front and tell us about how many windows you have, and we give you the figure before we book.
Often yes. On our jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots, and those build up between visits, so the first job is to remove dirt that the inside never sees.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, and we are happy to plan the calendar around those months.
No. Gutters and downspouts go first, so the runoff and grit come off before anyone touches the glass.
Our washing services rinse screens and wipe sills as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and if you live in condos, tell us when you book so we can plan access.
Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, and neither is pressure washing. This is exterior glass only.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, since a sprinkler spraying the glass leaves spots, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
