The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and 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 booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Michigan, most of our customers book twice a year, in spring and in fall, and that is when we see the most tree dust and leaves on the glass and in the runs.
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 a residential window job by stories and approximate window count. The bundle, for residential and commercial jobs alike, costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote on our jobs: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized picture windows, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with seeds and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning solutions remove. Flushing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our quote covers the exterior only, and nothing on the interior is included in the number we give you.
In spring the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutter elbows add time to every run. In fall we are clearing wet leaf mats that have sat for weeks. Houses with mature trees over the roof take longer on both visits because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. Getting an exact number is simple: tell us the stories, a rough window count, and text a photo of the front of the house. A quote from that is firm.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will send a written estimate the same day.

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 Delta customers book professional window cleaning twice a year, once in the spring month when the tree dust drops and once in the fall month after the leaves come down, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. At each visit we find something specific: a tree-dust film on the glass and seed paste in the gutters in spring, a leaf load in the runs in fall, and severe thunderstorm season across Michigan that moves the dates.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), or a house near a busy road or construction usually needs regular cleanings, sometimes more often. The sign windows need it is haze you only see when the sun is low, and that haze takes the curb appeal right off a house. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain, and that water can turn into water damage on the fascia and siding. Either way, condos with shared gutter runs get the same check, and we will tell you what we see before we book the next one.
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.
To schedule service on a window and gutter cleaning, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm estimate. Lead time depends on the season and is confirmed when you book. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so ask early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We clean residential properties, multi-story buildings included, and every window on the outside of the building, including sill and frame, so you get clean windows top to bottom. Interior glass is not part of this visit. Ask us about any window you want included and we will confirm it in the written estimate.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff does not land on clean panes.
We do not give a figure here. The number comes from the stories and approximate window count, and we quote it by phone or text. The quote we give is the number we charge.
On most Delta houses, yes. The outside carries tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and the inside cannot keep those off the glass.
Most of our Delta customers book in spring and in fall. We confirm the exact visit month when you call, based on the tree dust and leaf load we expect.
Not with our order of work. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall drip off, and only then clean the glass, so the grime from the runs does not reach clean panes.
Screens get rinsed, sills get wiped and frames get cleaned as part of the job, and our crew will remove dirt from each one. Nothing on the exterior side is billed as an extra.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass, so windows inside stay as they are, and interior and exterior work is quoted as two separate estimates. We do not offer pressure washing services here.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
