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 in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Michigan, most of our customers book this in the spring and in the fall, and we have been doing it on our own crews long enough that the order of work is second nature.
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 window washing and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle of washing services plus gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the window cleaning services and the gutters as two separate jobs. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job rather than extras billed afterward.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we have to work from a boom or scissor lift, a high count of oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Every one of those adds time on the roof, and time on the roof is what sets the price.
To get a firm number, send us the number of stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text. We will reply with the quote for both jobs in one visit, and the number holds unless the house turns out to be different from the photo. For a sense of how a job like this goes, a recent Cannon customer with a two-story house and a sprinkler line hitting the front glass had us out for the gutters and the windows together, and what moved their quote was the sprinkler spotting and the guards we had to lift to clear the back run. You can see that job here: Cannon case.
We do the regular cleanings on a schedule that fits how the house sits, and most residential window customers settle into a rhythm that keeps the grime from building up on the glass. Residential properties with gutters and downspouts get the same quote structure, and the crew checks every downspout on the way down. Our crew works from the outside only on this visit, so interior and exterior glass are not the same job, and we are clear about which one you are booking.
| 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 customers in Cannon 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 for the calendar. Across Michigan the pattern holds for residential and commercial buildings alike, and it is the calendar of the pollen and the leaf drop, not a schedule we made up.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows, so the first visit clears a season of seed and grit that has been sitting there since the winter. Film that water alone will not lift gets cleaning solutions, not a harder scrub, because the solution is what helps remove dirt without etching the glass. In fall the leaf load comes down all at once, and the wet leaf mat is what sags the runs under the first ice. A run left full through the winter invites water damage at the fascia, and each storm sends its runoff over the edge and down the siding below.
A house under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roof, usually needs a third visit, because needles and grit keep building up in clogged gutters between the two main cleanings. A house with a sprinkler line hitting the glass also needs more attention, since the spots that come back a day after cleaning are mineral, not dirt. Multi-story buildings and houses with a third floor take longer on the upper glass, so the lift gets booked ahead rather than on the day. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more film on the glass and needs a closer look as well. We will tell you which of those your lot is after the first visit.
The sign that windows need cleaning sooner than planned is a haze you only see when the sun is low, the kind that makes the glass look cloudy from the windows inside. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, which means something is blocked, not that the gutter is too small.
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 has cleaned the glass and gutters on houses across Cannon, and we know the neighborhoods well enough to plan a route before the truck leaves the yard. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a quote for both jobs in one visit. To schedule service, we set a date that works for your calendar. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen and the leaves come down, our calendar fills faster than it does the rest of the year, so it pays to book early.
We are professional window cleaning people, and most window cleaners in Cannon stop at the glass, so we bring the water-fed pole, the purified water and the ladders for the gutter runs too, and we do not leave a window until it is done. Each residential window gets the same attention whether it is a small kitchen pane or a large picture window at the back of the house, and every window is checked before the crew moves on. Clean glass does a lot for curb appeal from the street, and the sill gets wiped with the frame, not left with a line of grit.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of the finished runs and the glass before the crew leaves. We clean condos on the same gutters-first plan, and if a gutter run can not be reached safely from the ground or the roof, we tell you before we skip it. For a steady relationship, many of our Cannon customers simply keep the same date each year and let us handle the schedule.
Yes. The same two people do both jobs in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not end up on the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We will not guess it here, because the price depends on what the crew finds on the roof.
On houses here the outside takes the most, between pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, so the glass often looks worse from outside than the inside ever shows. Cleaning only the outside still shows right away from the street, where the house is seen most.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and in the fall, which is when the pollen and the leaf drop come down, so those are the windows when the calendar fills. Booking early in either season keeps the date you want.
No. Runoff from the gutters is the reason we work in this order: we clear the gutters and downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are cleaned on every residential window as part of the exterior job, so those are included. The purified water is what helps remove dirt without leaving streaks.
Yes. Condos and other residential properties get the same gutters-first, glass-last order of work, and the price depends on the building height and how the gutters are reached, so we quote from a photo.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior glass, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit, so if you want those, that is a separate conversation.
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. For a written estimate or to book a date, call (866) 435-6328.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
