Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. Call (866) 435-6328 for a price based on your stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Michigan, our crews run this two-step job every spring and fall, and most of our Cascade customers book it that way.
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 cleaning services and gutter work together by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and it comes from those details rather than from a guess at the house.
On the day, the crew finds a few things that change the quote. A third story or a steep roof means more setup and more time on a ladder or boom or scissor lift. Window washing on oversized panes and high picture windows takes longer per pane than standard sashes. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive packed with needles and leaves, and gutter guards have to be lifted to reach the debris underneath. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we note it and quote that treatment separately. Clearing gutters and downspouts is part of the job, and so are the washing services for screens and sills, none of which is billed as an extra.
Here is what we see most. A house with a lot of trees over the roof comes in with grime and roof grit washed down the wall every spring, and the runoff from that stains the sills below. Our crew has to remove dirt from the sills and clear the gutters before the glass can be done properly. Tell us if the place is one of several condos on a shared roofline, since the gutter run may cover more than your unit. To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have. We will tell you the price before anyone is scheduled.
| 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 Cascade customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Michigan the pattern is the same: the gutters and the glass both need doing after the seasons that load them. Gutters on residential and commercial buildings fill the same way, and regular cleanings keep the load from building up between the big seasonal visits.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and forms a sticky layer in the gutters, so that is when we see it hardest. In fall, the leaf load arrives, and the wet mat it makes is the heaviest thing we clear all year. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we schedule around the weather rather than the calendar. Some houses need a third visit: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or a house close to a busy road or active construction. Those are the places where our crew ends up back on the ladder more often than twice a year. On the frames and sills the crew uses cleaning solutions for the grime, and the glass gets a rinse.
Here is the sign that windows need cleaning sooner: a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If either one shows up between visits, text us a photo and we will tell you which visit makes sense. Whether a window needs its interior and exterior done is a separate call, 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.
We clean residential properties and our crew works through the Cascade area on a regular route. Booking for our cleaning services starts with an estimate by phone or text at (866) 435-6328, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead times depend on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring rush and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills fastest. Book early in those months if you want a particular date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew calls before they come, so the arrival window is never a surprise, and they work from the outside of the house without coming inside. The crew does not touch the windows inside the house. Homeowners and property managers who want curb appeal kept up year-round book professional window cleaning with the gutters in the same visit, and we also handle the gutters on multi-story buildings with the same crew and the same order of work. Every run of clogged gutters gets cleared first, because standing water held against the fascia can lead to water damage on the trim below.
Yes. Our crew does both gutters and exterior windows in the same visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the debris from the gutters never lands on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range here because the house decides it. Text us a photo of the front of the house and we will send the figure.
Yes. The outside of a residential window collects rain dust, grime and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and the inside can be clean while the glass still looks hazy in low sun. Every window on the outside of the house gets the same pass, so the outside is what we clean.
Most of our Cascade customers book in the spring and in the fall. Spring catches the pollen and fall catches the leaves, and those are the two loads that matter most for both gutters and glass. Book early in either season so you can schedule service on the date you want.
Not on our jobs, because we do gutters first and glass last. When the glass is washed first, the leaves and grit from the gutters run down the wall and across any window below, so someone has to wash it again. Doing it in that order avoids the second pass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, because a dusty sill makes even clean windows look dirty. Tracks are included in the exterior cleaning of the window frame.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the glass or do pressure washing, so the outside of your windows and the gutters are the scope of the visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn your sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. The crew handles the rest and sends photos of every gutter run before they leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
