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. 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 this in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaf loads are heaviest and the glass needs it most.
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, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, because the stories, the window count and what is in the gutters are the three things that set it. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us for the figure before the crew is scheduled.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a steep roof or a third story that needs the boom or scissor lift, a window count with oversized panes and picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another: it is mineral etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Every window washing job carries its own curb appeal in the photos we send back. On houses where the gutters have gone unchecked, the clogged gutters are usually the first thing we find, and the runoff they throw onto the glass is what leaves the streaks. Two-story homes and older houses with water damage at the sill line tend to need the most attention, because the grime sits longest where the water runs. Commercial buildings and multi-story buildings are a separate quote by the building, not by the house.
If you want the exact number, send a photo of the front of the house by text along with the stories and an estimate of the window count. We will tell you what the price is before anyone books a date. Our crew sees the house once for the quote and once for the work, and both visits use the same number.
| 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, the answer is spring and fall, and that is what most of our customers book. Our crew sees a yellow film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste in the gutters every spring, which is why the spring visit is the one that matters most for the cleaning services we provide to residential properties. Clean windows are easier to judge when the sun is low, and that haze shows up in the fall. A single visit covers every window and every gutter run at once, because the same two people do both.
The leaf load arrives in the fall and packs the downspouts before the first hard freeze. Regular cleanings follow the leaf load, and severe thunderstorms across Michigan can move the dates by a few weeks, so we confirm the calendar with each customer rather than assuming. On houses under heavy tree cover, the gutters fill again within the year, and those customers book a third visit in the middle of the season. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and we schedule a third visit for those as well.
Houses near a busy road or a construction site pick up dust faster, and the sill and frame of each residential window collect more than the upper glass does. We will tell you on the first visit whether your house is on a twice-a-year schedule or needs a third visit. If you are unsure whether your windows need it, look at the glass when the sun is low: a film you only see in that light is the sign. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in 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 crew provides gutter and exterior glass washing services across Comstock, and the calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, when the tree litter and the leaves come down. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: give us the stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm a slot. Lead time depends on the calendar at the time of the call, so ask us when the next opening is rather than assuming one, and schedule service once you have a date that works. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
We handle residential and commercial properties, and the same crew does both kinds of job in one visit where the building allows it. Condos and townhouses with shared gutter runs are quoted by the building, so the crew sees the full run before we set a date. Runoff from a neighbor's roof can add grime to your glass, and we will note it on the first visit so you know what is coming from outside your lot.
Gutters and downspouts are cleared on every visit, and the crew will remove dirt from the sill and the frame before the glass is touched. If a slot is open, we can usually confirm the visit on the same call. Ask us about the first available date when you call.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, as part of our professional window cleaning. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so runoff never lands on clean panes.
The number for window cleaning services comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Send those by phone or text, and we will give you the exact figure before the crew is scheduled.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that never reach the inside. Our crew sees them on every visit here, and cleaning the windows inside does nothing about them.
Most of our customers here book their cleanings in late spring and again in late fall, after the spring tree litter drops and the leaves come down. Ask us for the next open date when you call.
No, that is the reason we clear the gutters first and the glass last. Once the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping, the windows get the clean water.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. None of them are billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and the inside is not part of this job. We clean the outside glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and pressure washing is not part of this job either.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
