Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof lands on clean panes. We price the bundle by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Most of our Grosse Pointe Park customers book spring and fall, when the seed, pollen and leaf loads are heaviest on the houses we see.
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.
Our window washing services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the quote moves with a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a window count that includes oversized panes, gutters nobody has opened in years, and gutters packed with needles and leaves. Multi-story buildings take longer to reach with the pole, and a house with a lot of glass takes a longer visit. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a standard wash, so we will tell you about it before we quote. Cleaning gutters and downspouts is part of the bundle. Cleaning the interior and exterior glass together is priced separately, and this visit covers the outside only. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
For a Grosse Pointe Park house, the fastest way to get an exact number is a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Window washing on a picture windows wall takes a different setup than a row of double-hung sashes, and the photo shows us which one you have. Our crew adds regular cleanings to the schedule for houses that need them, and the price for those visits is the same number we quote the first time. Grime on a picture window is a different job from a dusty sash, so tell us if the glass is heavy with it. If you would rather talk it through, call (866) 435-6328.

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, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and fall visits run late October to November. Most of our Grosse Pointe Park customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
In spring, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters. Our crew sees it in the downspout elbows first. In fall, the leaf load is the main problem, and wet leaves packed into a run are what pull gutters away from the fascia over the winter. Clogged gutters hold water against the fascia, and with freeze risk here, that water is what causes water damage in a bad winter. Houses that skip the fall visit show sagging runs by early spring. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road can each call for a third visit.
Two signs tell you the windows need a visit: haze you only see when the sun is low, and spots that come back a day after a rain. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter during rain is the sign the gutters need cleaning. Storm season across Michigan brings severe thunderstorms, and a run already full of leaves is the first to overflow. Our crew checks every window and every run for both on every visit and tells you what it finds.
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 cleans gutters and exterior windows across Grosse Pointe Park, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year. We serve residential properties in the city, so tell us whether the address is a residential and commercial mix when you text. To get on the schedule, text a photo of the roofline and the number of stories, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you a written estimate before a date is set. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our crew works with professional window cleaning equipment, so the glass is done with a water-fed pole and purified water rather than a squeegee on a ladder. The purified water is enough to remove dirt from the glass, so no cleaning solutions go on the panes. Upper-story panes are reached from the pole, which keeps the crew off the siding, and every window on the outside of the house gets the same pass. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most people expect. For the easiest path to schedule service, book a date that works around your sprinkler and driveway plans, and the crew will arrive ready. Our window cleaning services follow the same order from one city to the next, but the timing is set by your house and the season.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Booking both together is what lets us avoid a second trip and a second setup.
The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text before any work is booked. Multi-story buildings are priced by the story count, and condos get the same quote method as a single-family home. The quote you get is the number you pay.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Windows inside stay a separate job, because interior and exterior glass take different tools and a different visit. The outside is where most of the haze comes from.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, after the pollen drop and again after the leaves come down. Houses under heavy tree cover often need a third visit.
Not on our jobs. We clean gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters lands on glass we have not yet cleaned, and we rinse the siding under each run before moving to the windows. Clogged gutters that overflow are the usual route to water damage at the fascia, so clearing them is the first step.
Screens are taken down, rinsed and put back, and sills are wiped as part of the visit. A residential window on the second floor is reached from the pole, not a ladder. Tracks are included on the standard visit, and any unusual hard-water staining is flagged and quoted before work starts.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing, and we tell you that when you book so there is no surprise on the day.
No, 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 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.
