Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Most of our work here happens in spring and fall, when tree debris and leaves are heaviest, so that is when we see the most of it.
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.
The price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we quote it by phone or text before the crew is booked. Doing gutters and downspouts and exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are steep roofs and a third story, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, so you will not see them as line items.
Since we do not have a case from Byron to share for this page, here is how to get an exact number. Call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and the window count, or text a photo of the front of the house. With those three things we can quote the whole visit, and the crew does exactly what the quote describes. The same method works for residential properties of any size. Window washing on the outside is the main job, with the washing services and window cleaning services we provide done with purified water, so the glass dries without spots or streaks. On some homes there are picture windows, and heavy grime on them takes more time, so the cost reflects that before we arrive. If you want interior and exterior glass on the same invoice, ask when you call, because this page quotes the outside only. Most homeowners who book regular cleanings find the per-visit cost is easier to plan than a single large bill.
| 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, most of our customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and one crew doing both in a single visit makes that schedule simple. On our Byron jobs the pattern is much the same. The window and gutter work fits the seasons because pollen settles on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters in spring, and fallen leaves mat the runs in autumn.
In spring, the pollen film on the glass and the paste in the gutters are the first things we see on the ladder. In fall, it is the leaf load that fills the runs and the downspouts, and clogged gutters are the usual result by then. Across Michigan, spring visits usually run late May to June, while our fall visit in Byron usually falls in October to early November. Storm and wind seasons, with severe thunderstorms across Michigan, can move these dates, so we would rather book the visit when the runs are actually full than keep a fixed calendar.
Some homes need a third visit, and we say so when we see the house. Heavy tree cover over the roof usually means the downspouts clog again between seasons. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grit on the glass, and a single rinse will not always remove dirt that has baked on over a summer. May, July and August are the wettest months here, and heavy rain in those months sends runoff over a full run and into the siding, which is where water damage starts. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass take longer, and we say so when we book. The order of work stays the same on residential and commercial buildings, gutters first and glass last. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and our visit covers the outside only, not the windows inside the house.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun sits low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, which means the run is full or the downspout is blocked.
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 provides cleaning services for gutters and exterior windows in Byron and the surrounding area, and we book by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Whether it is a residential window job at a house or one of the condos in Byron, booking runs the same way. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a visit date based on our current calendar. Plenty of window cleaners do the glass alone, so ask whether the gutters come on the same visit. The lead time changes through the year, so the calendar tells you more than we can promise here.
The two busy windows are the spring drop and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills fastest then. If you want a slot in those months, book early. Outside those windows the calendar is usually more open.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so you know when the truck is on the way, and we send photos of the finished runs and the glass before we leave. Our professional window cleaning and gutter work is built to schedule service around your house, not the other way round, and every window on the outside gets the same attention. We do not clean inside the windows on this visit, and pressure washing is not part of the job. Wiping the sill between visits is a small step that helps curb appeal.
Yes. The same crew does both, and gutters and downspouts are cleared first, so runoff never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text for residential properties. Tell us the stories and text a photo of the front, and we quote the whole visit.
On our jobs in Byron the outside carries the rain dust, the grit and the sprinkler spots, which the inside does not catch. Cleaning the outside alone is often enough to remove dirt that the inside never collects.
Across Michigan, spring visits usually run late May to June, and our fall visit in Byron usually falls in October to early November, after the leaves come down.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the runs are cleared and flushed before anyone touches the windows. The dirty water has already drained away by then.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included on standard jobs. We do not bill them as extras.
A residential window gets the outside cleaning only on this visit. We do not clean inside the glass and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list. If you own one of the condos in a shared building, check with us when you book, since the outside of a shared building is not always yours to have cleaned.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
