Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Michigan, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest on the house.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters not cleaned in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Heavy grime on the sill or the lower panes is part of the job too, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are not billed as extras.
Getting an exact number is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or send us a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the window washing, the washing services and the gutter work come to together. Most window cleaning services on houses are quoted this way, and the crew can confirm the scope before a date is booked. If the house has a lot of glass, tell us that too, since a house with many panes takes more time than a count of stories alone suggests. We do not offer interior and exterior work on one visit, so the quote covers the outside only.
We also keep regular cleanings on the calendar for customers who want the same crew each time, which lets the quote stay steady from one visit to the next.
| 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.
Across Michigan, most of our customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and one crew in one visit is what makes the bundle sensible.
Each visit we find something specific. In spring the pollen film sits on the south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load, and the wet leaf mat is what sags a run under ice later in the year, which is how water damage gets into the fascia. East Lansing has freeze risk in winter, so a run that is still blocked in late fall can cost you more than the cleaning. Across Michigan, severe thunderstorms move the dates a little, so we book from the house, not the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction all leave more residue between visits. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass on the upper floors have the same problem. Those are the homes where the spots come back a day after cleaning and where clogged gutters show up sooner than expected.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze only when the sun is low. If the windows inside look hazy, check the outside first, since that is where the film sits. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain. If either sign shows up between visits, text us a photo and we will tell you which of the two it is.
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, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give a lead time when we book, and in the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills, so the sooner you call, the sooner the crew can be on the schedule. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew handles residential window cleaning and gutter cleaning on residential properties across East Lansing, and we give every window the same attention from the ladder or pole. We clean the sill as part of the job, and the outside glass on upper floors, including multi-story buildings, is done from the pole so no one leans a ladder against the siding. Our own cleaning solutions are purified water, which helps us remove dirt from the glass, so it dries clean. Gutters and downspouts go in the same visit.
Many of the window cleaners in the area stop at the glass. We do the gutters in the same visit, because the runoff from a dirty gutter is what dirties the glass beneath it. If you have been using separate professional window cleaning and gutter services, this is one appointment instead of two, and one invoice. If you have a residential and commercial building, such as a shop with an apartment above, call first so we can confirm the scope before a visit.
Every house on our calendar gets a set time window, so you know when to expect the crew and what they will do, and every booking includes a photo report of the finished work. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, since that is what the street sees first.
Yes. We run one crew that cleans the gutters and then the outside of the windows, in that order, so nothing dirty runs back onto the glass.
We give no figure on a website because it depends on the stories and the size of the house, so send us a text with those and a photo of the front, and we will quote it.
In East Lansing the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so that is where most of the grime sits, and the inside can look fine while the glass is hazy from the outside.
Our customers here usually book in spring and fall, and the window and gutter cleaning in those months keeps the house ahead of the pollen and the leaves. Across Michigan the same two seasons apply.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, the next run of water from the gutter splashes it again.
We rinse the screens and wipe the sills as part of the job. Tracks are included on the same visit.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. If you live in one of the condos on your street, check with the association first, since it may own the gutters or the outside glass.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
