Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again on the way out. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Michigan, most of our customers book the work in the spring and fall, when pollen, leaves and rain leave the most on the 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.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs take longer, and so do picture windows and other large panes where the crew has to reach from the ground pole and then the ladder. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be flushed. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that no cleaning removes, and we tell you that on the phone before we arrive. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Send us a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the number of stories and a rough window count, and we will give you the exact number before we book. On our jobs in Clawson, the quote that surprises customers most is the one for a house with heavy tree cover and oversized panes, where the windows inside and out take longer than the front elevation suggests. Clogged gutters under those trees add a visit's worth of work, which we quote in advance. Multi-story buildings and houses near a busy road are priced the same way, from the same three inputs, so nothing about the figure depends on who answers the phone. Water damage that is already in the gutter or fascia is photographed and reported, not billed as cleaning.
Window washing and professional window cleaning on this page means exterior glass only, done with a water-fed pole and purified water. Some window cleaners quote by the pane, but we price the whole house by stories and window count. Our bundle covers the exterior of the glass. Plenty of people ask about interior and exterior glass together, and this visit covers the exterior only. We do not do windows inside on this visit. Curb appeal of the house is what most people are paying for, and the bundle is the cheapest way to get the gutters and the glass done in the same visit.
| 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 Clawson customers book both twice a year, once in late spring and once in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Pollen film builds on south-facing glass and pollen paste collects in the gutters during the spring pollen month, and the leaf load comes down in the fall. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a week or two in either direction, so we call before we come. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a home near a busy road or construction often need a third visit, because the spots and grit come back between cleanings. Cleaning services like ours are priced for a residential window job, and the same goes for residential properties with regular cleanings on a set calendar.
The sign that windows need it is haze you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, which means the run is full. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will set the date with you. Clean windows and cleaned gutters hold up longer when the downspouts are flushed at the same visit, and every window on the house gets the same treatment on the same day.
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 works across the city, and the details of where we have cleaned are shared when you call. Booking is simple. You call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, we give you the estimate on the spot, and then we set a date. Lead time is listed on our booking page, and it moves with the season. The two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, are when our calendar fills, so booking early in those months gets you the slot you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, every time.
We handle washing services for houses and small buildings, window cleaning services for residential and commercial exteriors, and the removal of grime that builds up on sills and frames. Our gutter crew clears the gutters and downspouts in the same visit, and the water running off the roof is the reason we flush every downspout to its outlet. Runoff from a bad downspout is what stains the siding and the wall below, which is why we do not skip the flush. We remove dirt from the frames and screens as part of the job, not as an add-on. Glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to streak. Condos with shared gutter runs are scheduled as one visit per building so every unit gets the same finish.
Do window cleaners also clean gutters? Yes, it is the same crew, and they do the gutters first and the glass last, so the work stays clean. What does it cost to clean the gutters and windows on a two-story house in Clawson? The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Is it worth having the outside of the windows cleaned if the inside stays as is? Yes, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so the outside is where the grime builds up. When should I book in Clawson? Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall, and the calendar fills in those months.
Will dirty gutter water end up on the clean glass? No, gutters first and glass last is the reason the order is fixed on every job. Do you clean screens, sills and tracks, or are those extras? Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included on exterior windows. Do you clean inside the windows or do pressure washing? We do exterior glass only on this visit, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing. Do I need to be home, and what should I do before the crew arrives? You do not need to be home; turn sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. Frequently asked questions like these are what we answer most on the phone, and we are glad to answer any others before we book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
