Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew does this work every spring and fall, and most of our Burton customers book the two jobs together.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Gutters and downspouts done in the same visit as the glass cost less than two separate trips. Our washing services cover residential and commercial buildings alike, so the same method applies to a family home or a small commercial building.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof changes how the crew sets up. A high window count, or oversized panes that need the larger pole, adds time. A house with many small panes takes more time too, so window cleaning services cost more there. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Condos with a shared gutter line are quoted the same way, by stories and window count, once we see a photo. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue: cleaning will not remove it, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping come with the visit and are never billed as add-ons.
To get a number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with your stories and rough window count. In Burton, the jobs that move quotes most are larger homes with a lot of window washing and gutters that have gone too long between cleanings. Runoff from the roof has already left marks on the siding and glass on those houses, so we spend more time on the frames to remove dirt and grime. We give you the number before the crew is booked.

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 Burton jobs, most customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Michigan the pattern is similar, with spring and fall as the usual windows.
In late May and June across Michigan, the spring visit catches the pollen. Pollen film builds up on south-facing glass, and the pollen paste packs into the gutters and downspout elbows. In the fall, from October to early November, the visit clears the leaf load before the first hard freeze. Storm and wind season can move the dates, so we confirm each visit when we book it.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and our cleaning solutions alone will not lift them. A house near a busy road or construction picks up more grime and dust. In those cases, our customers move to regular cleanings every three to four months instead of twice a year.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspouts. Picture windows show every streak, so they are usually the first glass a homeowner notices. We clean the interior and exterior separately, and this visit covers the exterior only.
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 cleaning services work across Burton, and we have done both gutters and exterior windows on homes throughout the city. Booking starts with a phone call or a text with your stories count and a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send the same photo by text, and we give you the number from there. Most slots open up within a short lead time, which we confirm when you call. The busiest windows are spring pollen season and the leaf drop in the fall, when our calendar fills fast.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so you know when to expect the crew. Our window cleaners work from the outside only, so the windows inside stay as they are. We check every window on the outside before the crew leaves. For larger homes and taller homes, we bring the right equipment, so you do not have to worry about reaching the upper floors. We also handle multi-story buildings with the same approach.
Keeping gutters and windows on a regular schedule keeps clogged gutters from causing water damage to the fascia, and it keeps the glass from building up grime between visits. Professional window cleaning on a schedule protects curb appeal, and it means your windows stay clear without the buildup. Clean gutters and clean glass look better from the street, and they hold up longer.
Yes. The same two-person crew does the gutters and the outside of the windows on residential properties in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass does not get dirty again from runoff.
We give you the number by phone or text, based on stories and size. Send us your stories count and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the price before we book.
On our jobs, the outside carries the most build-up. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on every residential window, so cleaning the outside keeps the view clear even if the inside is already clean.
Across Michigan, spring visits fall in late May and June, and fall visits run from October to early November. Spring and fall are the windows we see most often, so book early if you want a slot in either one.
No. We clean gutters first and glass last, because the leaves, grit and black water from the gutters run down the wall and across any window below. If the glass were washed first, it would need a second cleaning.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. Rinsed screens and wiped sills make the clean windows easier to see through. They are included in the number we quote, not billed separately.
No, this visit is exterior only. We do not clean the inside of the glass, and we do not pressure wash siding or driveways on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get started.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
