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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Michigan, most of our customers book spring and fall, and that is the rhythm we work around here in Hazel Park.
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 window and gutter cleaning by stories and approximate window count, and a bundle booked as one visit costs less than two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Nothing is quoted per linear foot or per pane without the house in front of us, and the starting figures we quote reflect the most common setups.
What moves the quote on our jobs is almost always what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment. Oversized picture windows and a high number of panes add to the glass side. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated get added by the foot. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes, and a gutter that overflows for a season can lead to water damage on the fascia, so we flag both before we quote it.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras. We flush every downspout until it runs clear, and we remove dirt from the sills on every window we do. Our quote covers the outside only, because interior and exterior glass are priced apart. Interior glass, pressure washing and repair work are not part of this visit, and we say so before we book.
On a Hazel Park house the quote usually comes down to a few facts we can get in one text: how many stories, roughly how many windows, and whether the gutters have been cleaned in the last year. A clear photo of the front of the house sent by text is enough for us to give a written estimate before the crew is scheduled. That is how we keep the number on the phone matching the number on the invoice.
Here is how this works for the residential and commercial customers we see most. Owners with a residential window setup, a few picture windows and a stacked gutter run, tend to ask about the bundle first, because the glass and the gutters are on the same ladder setup. Multi-story buildings and condos with regular cleanings on the books get the gutters first on the calendar. Either way the estimate is written, dated, and matched to the job.
Ask for the written estimate by text with a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through the number before anything is booked.

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 Hazel 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. Across Michigan, spring and fall are the same two windows we see on the glass and in the gutters, which is when most people book our cleaning services.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and as a gritty paste packed into the gutters. By the time the first warm weeks arrive, the downspout elbows are often full of seeds and grit from the winter. In fall the leaf load is the thing we clear first, and on houses that skip the fall visit we find runs that sagged under the weight of wet leaves by the next winter. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates a few weeks in either direction.
Some properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof sends needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, so those customers are on every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and cleaning solutions alone do not lift them, so that calls for a plan that includes a mineral treatment. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a film that the glass shows within weeks. We talk through these cases on the first estimate so the schedule matches the house.
Professional window cleaning is not a once-a-year thing for most homes. The windows pick up dust and grit through the season, and the glass shows the haze mainly when the sun is low. Gutters tell you their own story: water sheeting over the edge during a rain means the run is holding debris or has a slope problem, and that is the sign we look for before anything else.
When you book, we will set the spring or fall visit and tell you whether the house needs a third date on the calendar.
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 Hazel Park, and we have cleaned both window and gutter jobs on residential properties and small commercial buildings in the city. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a written number. Lead time depends on the season, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop.
We call before we come, so you know when the truck is on the street. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. Our crew works outside the house, sends photos of every run and every window to your phone, and leaves the side gate the way it was found.
If you have a particular date in mind, call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service and tell us when you want it. We will confirm the slot in writing and tell you what the crew needs from you before the visit.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the same ladder setup. We do the gutters first and the glass last so the runoff from the gutters does not end up on clean windows.
The number for window cleaning services and gutters comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will write the estimate out before anything is booked.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the dirt, and the outside is what gives a house its curb appeal in Hazel Park. Grit, rain dust and sprinkler spotting collect on the outside glass, and that is what the sun shows you in the low light of the day.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall. Across Michigan those are the two windows when the leaves and grime are heaviest. Storm season can move the dates, so we check the calendar with you when you call.
No, because we work gutters first and glass last. When gutters and downspouts are cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass is done after the gutters are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens get rinsed and sills get wiped on every window we do, and that is part of the job. Tracks are included on the windows we can reach from outside.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and windows inside the house are not part of the job. Pressure washing services are not included either. If you want the inside done, tell us when you book and we will tell you what we can and cannot offer.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
