Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Our crew provides cleaning services for gutters and windows in Commerce, mostly in the spring and fall, when the most leaves, grit and dust build up on a 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.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large count of windows, picture windows or oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts are cleared on every visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our window cleaning services, not billed as extras.
On a Commerce job the first thing we check is how long the gutters have gone without a clean, because clogged gutters are what lead to water damage on the fascia and siding below. Our crew asks for a photo of the front of the house by text and the story count, and from those we give you the exact number before anyone climbs a ladder. Commerce has a lot of professional window cleaning work on multi-story buildings, but window washing on a residential house is priced from its own stories and glass, and the same goes for curb appeal on the street side, which is usually where we start. If you have called other window cleaners, ask whether downspout flushing and screen rinsing are included, because on our jobs they are. Call (866) 435-6328 or text that photo today, and we give you the number before a crew is booked.

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, the spring visit falls in late May to June after the pollen drop, and the fall visit in late October or November after the leaves are down. Most of our customers book gutters and windows twice a year on those two calendars, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense.
In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and grit packed into the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load is wet and heavy, and on houses that skip that visit we see gutter runs sagging before winter. Severe thunderstorms across Michigan move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we book from the calendar of the house rather than the calendar on the wall.
Regular cleanings matter most for homes under heavy tree cover, which need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits a residential window causes the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or construction gets more grime on the glass than one set back from it. Those are the houses we book on a shorter cycle.
Windows tell you they need it when clean windows start to haze, a film that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters tell you when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 starts with an estimate by phone or text, the number of stories and a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the number before a slot is held. The lead time is set by the calendar that season, and the two busiest windows are the spring and fall leaf months, when our calendar fills and it pays to book early.
Nobody needs to be home for our washing services. We call before we come, and the crew works outside and does not come inside. Since this visit is exterior only, interior and exterior glass are different jobs.
Commerce is a town with a lot of residential properties, condos and older houses, and the town mixes residential and commercial buildings. Our crew sets out to remove dirt from the roof edge, the gutter runs and the glass in one pass, and every window on the outside gets the same treatment, so the runoff from the roof edge does not streak glass we have already done.
Yes, our crew does both, and it is the same two people in one visit. Gutters first, glass last.
We do not give a figure in writing. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before the visit.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that never reach the inside glass. Those are the marks visible from the street.
Across Michigan, spring visits fall in late May to June and fall visits in late October or November, so most customers book around those dates. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the date.
No, we do gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters runs down onto windows we have already washed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we use purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to streak. Tracks are wiped on the exterior side.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only. Windows inside the house are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. Text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
