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 from the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our Dearborn customers book it in the spring and fall, which is when the spring dust and the leaves build up.
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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof we cannot walk, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Multi-story buildings are quoted the same way, by stories and window count. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Dearborn jobs, the fastest way to get an exact number is a text or a call to (866) 435-6328 with the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house. Most of our customers here book after the first quote, once they have seen what a visit covers. A pollen film on the glass and a paste of needles and grit in the gutters are the usual finds in spring, and they are part of the same visit. Gutters and downspouts are cleared before any glass is touched, and the crew uses purified water on the glass with cleaning solutions only on frames and sills. Interior and exterior glass are not the same job, and we only do the exterior on this visit. Picture windows take longer, and a house with a lot of them is quoted that way. Our regular cleanings keep the number down over time because the gutters stay clear between visits.
| 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 Dearborn customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Spring visits across Michigan run late May to June, and the pollen film shows up on south-facing windows first. In the gutters, a paste of needles and grit packs the downspout elbows, so clogged gutters are the first thing we clear. In the fall the leaf load is the main issue, and severe thunderstorms across Michigan can move the dates. May, June and August are the wettest months here, so the gutters work hardest then.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, and a house close to a busy road or construction all tend to bring the grime back faster. A sprinkler line leaves round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and that is a water issue rather than dirt. Gutters that overflow are a common route to water damage at the fascia, so a run that sheets water in a storm gets looked at early. Windows inside are a separate job and are not part of this visit.
You can tell the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need it when runoff sheets over the edge in a rain. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and our cleaning services handle both in one visit, so you do not need to go up a ladder yourself.
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.
We book window and gutter cleaning on a set schedule, and we call before we come. Many window cleaners only do the glass, so the gutters get skipped, and ours is professional window cleaning and gutter washing services that start on the roof. Start with a phone or text estimate that includes the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Most of our slots come up with a short lead time, and our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so booking early in those months helps. To schedule service, send that estimate request and we book the date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside and sends photos of each gutter run and the finished glass before the truck leaves. For residential properties and every residential window on the list, we clean with a water-fed pole and purified water to remove dirt without streaks. The goal is clean windows, not a quick rinse, and we give every window the same attention, including the sill and the frame.
Yes. Our washing services and window cleaning services are one visit, and the same two people clean the gutters first and then the glass, so you book one visit instead of two.
The number comes from the stories and the window count. Text us the stories and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the figure before anything is booked. A condo or a residential and commercial job gets the same question on the phone first.
On our jobs here, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks cloudy even after the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside is what changes the view.
Our customers here usually book in the spring and in the fall, when the spring dust and the leaves build up. Booking early in those months gets you a slot before the calendar fills.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water come down the wall, so the glass has to be washed after.
Gutters and downspouts come first, and screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the visit. We do not bill those as extras.
On this visit we do exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
