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 jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has spent many spring and fall seasons on the houses here, and most of our Delhi Charter Township customers book both at once.
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.
Our window washing quote is built from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and bundling both jobs into one visit costs less than booking them separately. Our residential window quote covers the exterior of the house only, so interior and exterior glass never land on one ticket, and gutters and downspouts are priced into the same visit. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is the number on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds when they pull up. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and the boom or scissor lift. A large window count, or oversized picture windows that need more reach, adds time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another variable, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras.
On our Delhi Charter Township jobs, the quote moves with the house in front of us. Text us a photo of the front of the house along with your story count, and we can tell you what we expect to find. A house with heavy grime on the glass and a gutter run that has gone a few seasons without attention will be priced differently from one that had its cleanings done last year. A house on regular cleanings has less buildup to work through, and that shows up in the quote. Either way, you hear the number before any window cleaning services start.
| 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 Delhi Charter Township customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on this calendar. Residential properties here follow the same two visits. Across Michigan, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run late October to November. In the spring, pollen film settles on south-facing glass and pollen paste packs into the gutters, so the spring visit is when the window and gutter cleaning is most visible.
Severe thunderstorms are part of the storm season across Michigan, and when a storm lands near a visit we reschedule rather than leave clogged gutters full through a hard rain. April, May and June are the wettest months in Delhi Charter Township, so a blocked gutter in those months sends runoff down the wall and across the siding, which is how water damage starts. Some houses, and some multi-story buildings with a lot of glass, need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction tends to need one more round of cleaning solutions on the glass and a clearing of clogged gutters before winter.
Two sign-offs help you tell when you need us. Windows need cleaning when you notice a haze you only see when the sun is low. Haze on the windows inside is a different problem, and it is not part of this visit. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Our crew sees both signs on most of the houses we visit, and we tell you which one applies to your house.
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 cleans gutters and exterior windows across Michigan for residential and commercial buildings, and our Delhi Charter Township customers book on a schedule that fits the house. Our cleaning services for the outside of a house start with an estimate by phone or text: send us your story count and a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm a date. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through it. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the typical wait when you call. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, so the crew works the whole house, not just the front.
The two busy windows of the year are the late spring pollen period and the late fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills during both. If you want a slot during those weeks, schedule service early. We call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way. Our window cleaners wipe the sill under every window before they leave, and professional window cleaning from a pole with purified water means the glass dries without streaks. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Yes, and yes. Our crew does both: we clear the gutters and downspouts first, then wash the glass, in the same visit. A building that is part residential and commercial needs a quote before booking, so call (866) 435-6328 first.
The number comes from the story count and the size of the house. Text or call (866) 435-6328 with your story count and we will give you the figure before anything is booked.
For residential properties in Delhi Charter Township, the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting that build up between visits, so it gets dirty whether or not the inside does. Owners of condos facing the same weather collect the same film.
Across Michigan, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run late October to November. Our customers here book a residential window cleaning visit in those windows, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down.
No. We clean gutters first and glass last, because the leaves, grit and black water from the gutters run down the wall and across any window below. Runoff from a flushed downspout is the usual culprit, and if the glass were washed first, it would need washing again.
The crew will remove dirt from screens and sills as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, and none of them are billed as extras.
We clean the exterior glass on this visit. We do not clean interior glass, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Our crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
