Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing washed off the roof lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has been doing spring and fall visits for homeowners across Michigan, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 stories and approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Professional window cleaning and gutter work on the same visit means one setup and one invoice. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras. Cleaning the windows inside is not part of this visit.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that needs a boom or scissor lift for window washing, oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text and we can tell you which of those apply before we come out.
Across Michigan our crews see the same pattern: the houses that cost more are the ones that have gone the longest without a visit. Clogged gutters that overflow for years can also cause water damage to fascia and the wall below, so the sooner a run is cleared, the less there is to scrape off the window. Clear glass also helps curb appeal from the street. Getting an exact number takes three things: the stories, a rough window count, and that photo of the front of the house. Ask for a written estimate and we will send one before a date is booked. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to get started.

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, spring visits fall in late May to June and fall visits in late October to November, so the calendar suits one crew doing both jobs in one visit. Booking our cleaning services on that schedule keeps the gutters and the glass on the same calendar. In May the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the downspout elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see gutter runs that sagged under ice by March.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we look at the house before we set the calendar. Three visits a year is what we see on lots with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the gutters between visits, and on houses with a sprinkler line that hits the glass, since those spots come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site can need the third visit too.
On our jobs, a customer with no trees and a clean roof usually stays on the fall visit alone. Customers under trees or with sprinkler spotting tend to stay on regular cleanings three or four times a year. Even clean windows can show a haze when the sun is low, and gutters show their need by water sheeting over the edge in rain. If you see either, it is time to schedule service with us.
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 Harper Woods, and our window cleaning services and washing services book slots as the calendar opens. Start with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we can usually confirm your details in one exchange. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is, and we tell you the next open date when you call rather than guessing.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring tree-bloom season and the fall leaf drop, and that is when our calendar fills fastest, so booking early in those windows gets you the date you want. We handle residential window work, residential properties, condos, and multi-story buildings alike, and our work is exterior only: gutters and downspouts plus the outside of the glass, with runoff checked at each outlet. Residential and commercial jobs start the same way, with a phone estimate.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we do not come inside. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, so this visit covers the exterior only. Our crew uses the outside of the house to reach every window and every sill, and picture windows are done from the same position. The glass is rinsed with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and we will remove dirt from the frames as part of the visit.
Yes. Our crew does both jobs in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the washing on the roof does not end up on clean panes. You do not need two companies or two trips.
We set the number from the stories and the size of the house, the same way for residential and commercial buildings. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the price before a date is booked.
On our Harper Woods jobs, the outside carries the most grime: tree dust film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Interior glass is a separate question, and it is not part of this visit.
Across Michigan the spring visit falls in late May or June and the fall visit in late October or November, so booking in one of those windows is the surest way to get a date in Harper Woods.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. Clearing a run sends leaves and black water down the wall, so the glass waits until the roof and downspouts are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass. Tracks and picture windows are included in the exterior visit as well.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing, so those are outside what we will quote.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
