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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. We have been on Egelston houses through the spring and fall seasons, so we know what the glass and the gutters pick up in each one.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. We clean the glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the quote: a third story or a steep roof that is hard to walk, the kind of setup common on multi-story buildings, a long run of residential window across the back of the house, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves that nobody has opened in years, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that cleaning will not remove. Each of those takes time, so each one shows up in the estimate before we arrive.
The single biggest help is a clear picture of the house. Text us a photo of the front, tell us the number of stories, and give a rough count of the windows, or call (866) 435-6328, and we can give you the exact number without a site visit. Regular cleanings keep the job quick, because a gutter cleaned every spring and fall has less grime built up than one that was left for two years.
On our Egelston jobs we see the same pattern again and again: a house with a lot of picture windows and a pollen film that builds on the glass by late spring costs a little more to do than a single-story with a few small panes, and the pricing reflects that. This page covers homes, and a residential and commercial mix of buildings gets its own quote. We would rather tell you that up front than surprise you at the door. Ask for a written estimate, and we will send one that matches what the crew finds.
| 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, our spring visit falls in late May to June and our fall visit in late October to November, and many of our customers book our cleaning services in both windows, with one crew handling both in a single visit.
In late spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the spring grit packed into the gutters. In the fall the leaf load is heavy and wet, and the gutters hold water through the first freeze. Across Michigan, severe thunderstorms can shift those dates, so we keep the schedule flexible when the weather turns.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters filling between cleanings, a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and a house near a busy road or construction picks up more grime than the rest. A gutter that overflows season after season can lead to water damage at the fascia. On those houses our crew suggests booking more often, and that is a decision we make from what we see on the roof, not from a general rule.
Windows need cleaning when a haze shows up that only appears when the sun is low, and that haze takes away from curb appeal. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a heavy rain. We aim to leave clean windows at every visit, so if either shows up between visits, text us a photo and we will tell you what we see.
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 do window and gutter cleaning for residential properties across Egelston, and our window cleaning services always start with an estimate. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we will tell you what the job costs and when the crew can come. Lead times depend on the season, and we book up in the two busy windows of the year, when the spring growth and the leaves are at their heaviest.
We call before we come, so you are never surprised at the door. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, because the crew works outside and does not come inside. Our goal on every visit is to leave every window and every gutter run clean, with a photo of each run sent to your phone before the truck leaves.
If you have an odd layout, a sunroom, or a tall residential window that sits over a roof, mention it when you book so the crew brings the right equipment. We would rather plan for it than arrive and find a surprise on the ladder. Schedule service through the phone or by text, and we will confirm the date in writing.
Yes, professional window cleaning and gutter work on our jobs is done by the same two-person crew in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the dirty runoff off the windows we have not yet washed.
We do not quote from a fixed figure. The number comes from the stories, the house size and what is in the gutters, and we give it by phone or text. The number we quote is the number we charge.
On an Egelston house, the outside carries the rain dust, the grime and any sprinkler spots, and cleaning the inside cannot remove those from the glass. Interior and exterior glass get dirty in different ways, so clean inside glass with dirty outside glass still looks hazy when the sun is low.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, once the spring growth has settled, and again in late fall, after the leaves come down. Those are the two windows when the job is fastest and the gutters hold the least grime.
Not on our jobs, because the gutters and downspouts are cleared first and the glass is cleaned last, so nothing washes down onto a window we have already done.
Our washing services cover the screens, sills and tracks as part of the exterior job, and none of that is billed as an extra.
We do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this visit. The work is exterior glass and gutters only, and a water-fed pole is how we remove dirt from the outside glass.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked, and that is the whole list. If you live in a condo, tell us which gutters are yours before you book, because a shared run may belong to someone else.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
