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 the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Michigan, most of our customers book both in the spring and in the fall, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
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 on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings take longer to set up. A larger residential window count, oversized picture windows and tall panes add time on the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the price, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is something a cleaning alone will not remove. Gutters and downspouts are flushed, screens are rinsed, and sill wiping is part of the job, not billed as an extra. Our quote covers the outside of the house only, so interior and exterior glass are never priced together.
On a recent Frenchtown estimate, the quote was driven by the number of stories and the window count, with the back gutters being the slowest run to clear. The exact number comes from those same details, which is why we ask for them first. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text and the number of stories, and we will tell you what our washing services and gutter work will cost. Regular cleanings keep that number lower over time, because the grime does not build up between visits.
| 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.
Most of our customers here book both twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense across Michigan. The windows and gutters are on a calendar set by the seasons, the leaves and the freeze, not by a fixed date.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters. In fall, it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs and the grit that washes down from the roof. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, and we adjust the booking when the weather does.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them: 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. Those are the places where residential and commercial buildings alike collect more residue between visits. Clogged gutters that overflow for a season can lead to water damage at the fascia, so a gutter visit in time is the cheaper option.
You will know windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain. The crew also rinses the frame and sill so it can remove dirt that would otherwise wash back onto the glass.
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 works across Frenchtown on residential properties, and we book by phone or text. To schedule service, send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you an estimate and a slot. Lead time is listed on the booking page, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, when the leaf load and the grit both peak, so booking early keeps the date you want. We are a professional window cleaning service, and our cleaning services cover the gutters and downspouts with the same crew, so one slot covers the whole job and the curb appeal of the house is handled in the same visit. Condos with their own exterior glass can be booked the same way. If you want a single schedule for every window and every run, ask for it when you call.
Yes. The same two-person crew does the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff from the gutters off the clean glass.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the residential window count, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
Usually the outside is where the dirt is. Rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on exterior glass, and a clean inside does not change what the outside carries. Our crew cleans the outside only on this visit.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, when buildup is heaviest. Across Michigan the pattern is the same, so booking early keeps the date you want.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters lands on it and someone has to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and water usually does the work without cleaning solutions. They are not billed as extras.
We clean the exterior glass only, so windows inside are not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the 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.
