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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew cleans gutters and exterior glass in spring and fall, and that is when most of our customers book.
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.
Your quote for professional window cleaning comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle costs less in one visit than the two jobs booked apart. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and window washing on a Flint house is priced the same way. What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, a window count with oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is an example from one of our Flint visits. A two-story house with a large run of picture windows and clogged gutters over a back porch needed more time on the glass than a standard job, and the crew flagged the water damage in the fascia before the visit ended. The quote moved with the window count and the gutter condition, not with anything we guessed. Multi-story buildings get the same treatment: the story count sets the equipment, and the quote follows it. For an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with your story count and an estimate of every window. The same questions apply to residential and commercial jobs, so the quote starts from what we can see.

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 Flint customers book gutters and windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Keeping up with regular cleanings at those two points keeps the gutters from backing up and the glass clear. The spring visit clears the pollen film on each residential window that faces south and the seed and pollen paste packed in the gutters. The fall visit clears the leaf load and the wet mat that sags runs under ice. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates by a few weeks, so we confirm the day with you before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packed between cleanings, and a sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass than the same house out in the country. We look at every window at the first visit and call those out, so you can schedule service on a schedule that fits the house. Haze that you only notice when the sun is low is the sign the windows need it, and water sheeting over the gutter edge in rain is the sign the gutters do. Between visits, clean windows and clear gutters are what keep curb appeal up.
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 has cleaned gutters and exterior glass on residential properties across Flint, on both the east and west sides of the city. Booking for our window cleaning services starts with an estimate by phone or text: give us your story count and send a photo of the house front. Lead time is set by the calendar, and in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, slots fill first. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you hear from us before the truck arrives. Our cleaning services stay on the outside: we do not clean the windows inside on this visit, and our washing services do not include pressure washing. The crew uses purified water to remove dirt from the glass without cleaning solutions, and it stays on the outside of the house and the gutters.
Yes. The two-person crew that cleans your windows also cleans your gutters in the same visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean glass.
The number comes from your story count and window count, not from a flat guess. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the exact figure before we book.
On Flint houses the outside collects pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Clean inside glass does not stop the outside from clouding over.
Most of our Flint customers book in spring and again in fall. Those are the two visits that clear the pollen film, the seed paste and the leaf load, and condos get the same two visits as single-family houses.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall dry for a few minutes, and only then clean the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the standard visit, and we tell you before the crew starts if a track needs more time.
Exterior only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and we do not do pressure washing, so the crew stays on the outside of the house.
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 the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
