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 nothing dirty runs back down onto clean panes. Pricing follows the number of stories, and both jobs done together in one visit come in lower than booking two separate trips. Most of our customers here book it in the spring and the fall, and that is the calendar our crew works to.
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 residential properties by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and every residential window on the outside of the house counts toward the total. Booked together in one visit, the bundle costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate before anyone books a date.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a large count of panes add time on the glass. Clogged gutters, the ones nobody has opened in years and packed with leaves and needles, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler lines is not something cleaning removes, and we say so before the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The price covers the exterior only, and interior and exterior glass are quoted as separate jobs.
Our Dearborn Heights customers mostly tell the crew what they want done on the phone, which is the fastest way to get an accurate number. Give us the stories, a rough count of windows and whether the gutters have been cleaned in the last year, and the quote reflects exactly that. Window washing and washing services on the outside of the house are the core of the job, and cleanings on a regular schedule keep the bill steady from one visit to the next. The same stories and window count method applies to residential and commercial jobs. Our crew tends to be fastest on regular cleanings, because the gutters have less built up and the glass has less grime to lift.

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 customers here book the window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in late May or June and again in late October or November. The spring visit lands after the pollen has settled, when the seed and pollen film is thick on south-facing glass and the pollen paste has packed into the downspout elbows. The fall visit lands after the leaves are down and before the first hard freeze. Clogged gutters are the most common reason a run sags by March, because a wet leaf mat in November freezes and stays heavy all winter. Dearborn Heights gets about 35.1 inches of precipitation a year, with May, June and September the wettest months, and snow falls from December through March, about 30.8 inches a year.
Pollen is the thing we see most in the spring. It sticks to the glass as a yellow film and mixes into the gutter debris until it turns to paste that water cannot move. Across Michigan, severe thunderstorms push leaves and grit into the same runs, and a storm like that moves the dates. Multi-story buildings and houses under heavy tree cover, with the roof shaded by big trees, usually need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. When gutters and downspouts stay packed through a storm, the water damage shows up first at the fascia and soffit. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round white spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house on a busy road or near construction gets a film of dust that needs its own pass.
You know the glass needs cleaning when the haze only shows up when the sun is low. You know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout. Our crew can tell you on the first visit which of those your lot needs.
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 is a short call or text. Tell us the stories and send a photo of the house front, and our office gives you a written estimate with a date. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is that week. In the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, our calendar fills, so the sooner you call the sooner a slot comes up. Our crew calls before it comes, so nobody has to guess when the truck is pulling in.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and you get photos of every run and every window before the truck leaves. Our window cleaning services cover the full outside of the house, and the crew is set up to clean every residential window reachable from the ground or from a pole, with the sill wiped and the frame done, so the crew can remove dirt from the whole window. Our window cleaners work from a pole with purified water and bring their own cleaning solutions, so the glass dries clear without a towel. Professional window cleaning like this is the reason the outside of a home keeps its curb appeal through the season. If you want to schedule service for next month, call (866) 435-6328 and we will hold the date.
Our crew cleans gutters and downspouts as well, and it is the same two people in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the property, and condos and residential properties are quoted the same way. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front and we give you the figure in writing.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spotting here, and those sit on the glass before anything reaches the inside. Our crew cleans the outside of every residential window on the visit.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, after the pollen settles and after the leaves drop.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. The runoff from a cleared run carries grit and black water down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping, and the frames are wiped after the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are part of the visit, so none of them is billed as an extra.
This visit is exterior only, so we do not clean windows inside the house and we do not pressure wash. Interior and exterior glass are quoted as separate jobs.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up 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.
