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 both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across Michigan, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when the pollen, leaf and seed load on a house is at its heaviest. Tell us your stories and window count 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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Every residential window counts, and a lot of glass on multi-story buildings takes longer, especially oversized panes and picture windows. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone does not remove, and we will tell you when we see it.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Window washing on the exterior and our gutter work share one setup, which is why the bundle usually makes sense. We check every window on the house, and a clean front does a lot for curb appeal. Our washing services are built around the grime and runoff that collect on a house, and we remove dirt from the gutters and downspouts as part of the same visit.
On our East Bay jobs, the quotes that move most come from the same few things: how many stories, how much glass, and how long the gutters have sat. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text along with your story count and we can give you a close number before the visit. Condos and multi-unit buildings follow the same logic, counted by building and by units with glass on the same run.

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 in East Bay book regular cleanings twice a year, once in late spring and once in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Michigan the timing follows the same pattern, and cleanings in both seasons are usually booked as one visit.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and as pollen paste packed into the gutters. Dull glass from pollen does not always come off with water alone, so the crew uses cleaning solutions on the frames and sills where it sits. In fall the leaf load builds fast, and wind and storm season can move the dates either way. Those are the things we find at each visit, and they are why the dates shift from house to house.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction all tend to put a window and gutter cleaning on a shorter cycle. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and we flag them on the first visit so you know what you are looking at.
You will notice windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low. You will notice gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain. Those are the two signs we look for first.
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 with us starts with a phone call or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will give you the number before anything gets scheduled. Lead time is shown on the booking page for your area. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so an early call helps most in spring and fall.
Our window cleaning services cover residential and commercial buildings across East Bay, and our crews are the window cleaners and gutter crew on the job. Professional window cleaning means the glass is cleaned from the outside with purified water, and the gutters are cleared before any glass gets touched. We are careful with clogged gutters, multi-story buildings, and the water damage that a neglected run can cause to fascia and siding.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. The crew does not come inside, so windows inside stay as they are and are not part of this visit. Residential properties of every size get the same exterior-only visit.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters first and the glass last, so you book one visit instead of two.
The number comes from stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will quote it before the visit.
On houses here the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the outside glass is usually the first thing that looks dull. Inside cleaning is a separate job we do not do on this visit.
Our customers here book in late spring and late fall, after the pollen and leaf load have built up. Across Michigan that is the usual pattern.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. The leaves, grit and black water come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the clean windows wait until the gutters are done.
Screens are rinsed, and the sill on every window is wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on most jobs and are not billed as a separate charge.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. A job that covers interior and exterior glass is a separate booking, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn 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.
