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 has worked spring and fall across Michigan for the gutter and window jobs that come up most often.
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 the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Whether you book window washing alone or professional window cleaning with the gutters, the quote covers every window we can reach from the outside. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the quote covers before the crew books a date.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, and multi-story buildings add setup time on top of that. A large window count, or oversized panes, adds time at the glass. Heavily clogged gutters, the ones packed with needles and leaves, need more hands and more bags. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, and no cleaning removes it. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and none of them is billed as an extra.
On a Holland house the quote usually turns on how the gutters have been kept. We had a two-story home where the back run had not been opened in years, and the quote moved with the seed packed into the elbows and the time to clear it. Across Michigan, the fastest way to get the exact number is the same: send the stories, the approximate window count and a photo of the front of the house. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, so that photo of the front is the place to start. A water damage concern at the fascia is photographed and reported, and it is never sold to you as a repair.

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 book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for their home. Across Michigan the pattern is spring and fall, and the schedule service is easier to fit in when it is set early, before those months fill up.
In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the seed paste packed into the gutter elbows. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet leaf mat that the gutters have held since the last drop. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we book around them rather than around a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit, and regular cleanings in between keep the grime from building up. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loading between visits, 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 grime faster than the glass can hold it. For those, we set the third visit when we see the house in person.
Two signs tell you a residential window is overdue. One is haze you only see when the sun sits low in the afternoon. The other is water sheeting over the gutter edge in rain, which means the gutters need clearing now.
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.
Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328, or send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the quote and the lead time before we set a date. Lead times vary with the season, so we tell you the real window when you call rather than promise a slot. The two busy stretches of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, fill fastest, so booking early in those months gets you the date you want.
The crew calls before it comes. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside, and the photos of every run arrive by text or email before the truck leaves. Our window cleaning services cover residential properties in and around the city, along with residential and commercial buildings, including condos and multi-unit buildings. We handle the gutters and downspouts and the glass as one job, and our washing services stay with that same crew. We clear the runoff from the roof edge and remove dirt from the glass, and where we find a pulled hanger or a seam leaking we photograph it and put it in the report.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the gutter water from running down the glass after it has been washed.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send the stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it before the crew books a date.
In Holland the outside carries most of the dirt: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Clean windows on the outside are what the street sees, and interior glass is a separate matter, so the outside is the part we can fix on the day.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. Across Michigan the spring visit falls in late May to June, and in Holland the fall visit lands in late October to November, which suits most houses.
No, because the gutters are done first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the gutter debris and black water run down the wall and across the panes below, and someone has to wash them again.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job, and none of it is billed as an extra. Large picture windows get the same pole work as any other pane, using purified water rather than cleaning solutions.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean interior windows or do pressure washing, so the crew stays on the outside of the house, and the interior and exterior work is never mixed into one visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up and leave the side gate unlocked. The crew sends photos of every run before it leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
