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 the runoff never lands on clean panes. Pricing is set by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Across Michigan, most of our customers book spring and fall, and we keep the same order on every house.
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 number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking our washing services for gutters and exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that change the quote are stories and steep roofs that take more time on the ladder, window count, picture windows and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. The quote covers exterior glass only, not the windows inside the house. A two-person crew with a boom or scissor lift handles the taller runs the same way every time.
To get an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. We have found that a clear photo of the front saves a second call. Our crew checks the back runs and the window count on arrival, and if the count differs from what you sent, we tell you before any work starts. Our Chesterfield jobs show how window washing and window cleaners compare on the same house: a professional window cleaning crew that also clears the gutters reduces curb appeal problems that build up when clogged gutters sit through a wet season and cause water damage on the siding below. Multi-story buildings and older homes usually carry the most of that, so we plan those visits with the gutters done first.
| 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 our cleaning services twice a year. The spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and the fall visit in late October to November, which is why one crew doing both jobs in one visit makes sense. Each visit is set around what we find on the glass and in the gutters at that time of year. Our crew books the next visit at the end of each job so the calendar stays steady.
On our jobs in spring, the pollen film sits heavy on south-facing glass and turns to paste in the gutters, and rain alone will not remove dirt that has dried on the frame. In fall, the leaf load is what we see first. Across Michigan, severe thunderstorm season moves the dates a little, so we plan around the weather rather than a fixed day. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction usually need more cleanings in a year, often a third visit. The spots from sprinklers come back a day after cleaning, so we flag them on the first visit.
Two cases from our schedule show the range. One customer with no trees books twice a year. Another with trees and sprinkler spotting books three or four visits. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep the same crew on the same house, so the gutters and glass are handled the same way.
You will see the sign that windows need cleaning when a haze shows up that you only notice when the sun is low, and clean windows do not show it. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in the rain.
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 crews work across Chesterfield and the nearby residential areas. Our window cleaning services run in the same visit as the gutter work. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a slot. Lead time depends on the season and the calendar, so ask when you call. In the two busy windows of the year, pollen season in spring and leaf season in fall, our calendar fills, so booking early keeps your slot.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew handles residential window cleaning and gutters and downspouts on homes. We serve residential and commercial properties, though the commercial side is a limited number of small buildings and condos, where the grime and runoff from roofs are the same kind of problem. Our work on residential properties follows the same order every visit, and the purified water used on every window is what removes dirt without streaks, so the same crew handles every window and every run.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from stories and size. Send the story count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we quote the number on the phone.
On our jobs, the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the outside is where the buildup forms first.
Most of our Chesterfield customers book spring and fall, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down.
No. We clear the gutters first, flush the downspouts, let the wall dry, and then clean the glass, so nothing runs back onto it.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are part of the job when they are reachable from outside. We rinse with purified water, not cleaning solutions.
No. On this visit we do exterior glass only, and we do not pressure wash. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
