Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our washing services give a Cooper house clean glass and clear gutters, the simplest way to improve curb appeal. Most of our Cooper customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, and that is when we are on the ladders most. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the number on the phone.
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. Booking gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed as part of that visit. Those are the only two inputs we need before we quote, and we give no prices in the text here. Interior and exterior glass are priced differently, and this visit covers the exterior only.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes the setup, and multi-story buildings take more ladder and pole time. Window count and oversized picture windows take longer on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, or clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Grime on the sills takes longer, because the work is to remove dirt from the frame before the glass. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
The pricing works the same way on any house. Before we quote, send us a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have. That is enough for a firm number. The cleaning solutions we use on the glass are rinsed with purified water, so nothing is left behind, and the same crew handles residential and commercial calls with the same method. That is professional window cleaning on the outside of the glass, the same method on every call. If you have picture windows or a lot of glass on the back, say so on the phone so the count is right. Regular cleanings are cheaper per visit once the house is on a schedule, and we will tell you which of your runs need the most time.
| 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.
We suggest booking both twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Michigan, the spring visit falls in late May to June. The fall visit comes late October to November.
At the spring visit we find the pollen film on the south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters. At the fall visit we find the leaf load. Severe thunderstorms across Michigan move these dates a little, and we book around them. Clogged gutters that overflow in a storm are a route to water damage at the foundation, so the fall visit matters for that reason too. The rest of the year the glass and gutters stay in the normal range for most houses.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the sills. For those, we suggest a third visit as we see it on the job, not as a rule.
You will know the glass needs it when you see a haze only in low sun. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. A clean front also helps curb appeal, and the photos we send show you the before and after.
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 window and gutter cleaning with us starts with an estimate by phone or text. To schedule service, send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the number before anyone is on a ladder. Call (866) 435-6328 to start. Lead time is set by the calendar at the time you call, and we will tell you the first open day.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. Those are when our calendar fills, so call early if you want a particular week. Outside those windows slots open more easily.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so there are no surprises at the door. Residential window work and residential properties are our main work, and we clean every window on the outside of the house, not just the front. The result is clean windows and a clear run of gutters, with the sill wiped and the frame done.
We do both, and it is the same two people in one visit. Our window cleaning services and the gutter work are booked together, and we clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and condos are quoted the same way. Send us those by phone or text and we give you a firm number before the visit.
On a Cooper house the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside gets dirty first. Cleaning the windows inside will not remove what sits on the glass from outside.
Across Michigan, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit falls in late October to November.
It will if the glass is done first, since clogged gutters and downspouts push water and grit down the wall. That is the reason we clean gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters comes down onto clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the exterior side. None of these is billed as an extra.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only, and the work is to remove dirt from the outside without streaks. We do not clean inside the windows 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 while ladders are up and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
