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 an approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew does this work on many homes across Michigan every spring and fall, and most of our Canton customers book both in the same visit.
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. Booking gutter cleaning and window washing services in one visit with the same crew is cheaper than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We quote from those details by phone or text, so you know the figure before anyone climbs a ladder, and the same method covers our window cleaning services. Owners of condos get the same quote for each residential window job, based on stories and an approximate window count.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked takes more time. Oversized panes and high picture windows change the number of setups. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, because the crew has to remove dirt by hand before the flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone will not remove, and we tell you about it on the visit.
Gutters and downspouts are cleaned in the same visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. Those are the steps that keep runoff from the gutters off the glass below, so they belong in the price from the start.
Our Canton experience shows the same pattern: the homes that need the most time are the ones with heavy tree cover and long gutter runs. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will tell you what we expect to find before we book the crew. Stories, window count and a clear photo of the roofline give us what we need for an accurate estimate. That is how we keep the number on the phone the same as the invoice.
| 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 Canton customers book both window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in late spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for each season. Across Michigan, the pattern is the same: spring and fall are when the glass and the gutters need attention most. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep clean windows from picking up the same film each season.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass, and pollen paste builds up in the gutters and downspout elbows. In fall, the leaf load arrives and the wet mat sits in the runs until the first hard freeze. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we check the house rather than the calendar.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after we clean. A house near a busy road or active construction picks up grime faster than most.
Windows tell you when they need cleaning: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, or a film that comes back quickly after rain. A film like that usually needs cleaning solutions as well as water, not a rinse alone. Gutters tell you too. Water sheeting over the edge in a light rain means the runs are full or the slope is off.
We only give you a schedule based on what we see on your house, so the first visit tells us what your lot needs. After that, most homes settle into a routine that stays consistent.
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.
Booking with us starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you an estimate the same way we would on site. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The same booking steps cover residential properties and commercial buildings alike.
Our crew handles residential and commercial work, including multi-story buildings, and we are the window cleaners you can reach for both gutter and window jobs in one visit. Because the work is professional window cleaning from a ladder or a pole, we keep the gutters first and the glass last so runoff does not reach clean glass. The crew reaches every window from the outside, with a pole for the upper stories.
Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal. The busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season. During those stretches our calendar fills faster, so call early if you want to schedule service on a particular day. Outside those windows, slots open up more easily.
We do not clean the inside of the glass on this visit. Exterior work only, so windows inside stay as they are, and interior and exterior glass is not part of this visit. When clogged gutters have caused water damage at the fascia or sill, we photograph the damage and report it so you can decide what to do next.
Our crew serves Canton homes and businesses, and we can tell you the scheduling window when you call.
Yes, the same crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, so you end up with clean glass and clear runs at the same time. We do not bring a second team for the glass.
The cost for a window and gutter job depends on the stories and the number of windows. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a number before we book.
Yes, the outside of each pane picks up pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass gets dirty even when the inside looks fine.
In Canton, most customers book in late spring and in fall. Across Michigan, spring and fall are the seasons when we see the most build-up on glass and gutters.
Gutters first, glass last. When we clear a run, the grit and water come down the wall, so we rinse every downspout and let the wall drain before touching the windows.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the window job. We rinse screens and wipe sills as we go, and tracks get the same care when they are reachable from outside.
We clean the exterior only, and our work on homes does not include interior work or pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
