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 doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them as two trips. Across Michigan, most of our customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote before anything is booked.
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 washing services price window washing and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate count of exterior windows, and bundling gutters and glass into one visit is cheaper than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Text a photo of the front of the house with your story count and a rough window count, and we will tell you the figure before anyone is scheduled.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and large panes take longer to wash without streaking, especially where grime has built up on them. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before the flush. Houses that have had regular cleanings need less clearing than ones that have gone years without, and the quote reflects that difference. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone does not remove, and we note it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Michigan, the houses we clean vary a lot, so the most useful thing you can do is give us the exact number. Send your stories, your window count and a photo of the house front by text, and the quote will reflect your property rather than a guess, including when your last cleanings were. Work on the interior and exterior is not the same visit: our window cleaning services cover the exterior glass, and interior window cleaning is outside this quote.
| 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.
Across Michigan, most of our residential and commercial customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one window and gutter visit by one crew makes sense for the calendar. Here is what we find at each visit, from what we see on the glass and in the gutters.
In the spring, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters, and the downspout elbows pack with seeds, so clogged gutters are the first thing we check. The glass is rinsed with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing dries on it. In the fall, the leaf load is the main thing, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs that sag under the weight of wet leaves by winter. Storms and strong wind move the dates, and we adjust the booking when that happens.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film faster than one set back from it, and multi-story buildings take more pole and ladder time than a single-story house, so the visit runs longer. We will tell you after the first visit which of those applies to your property.
Two signs tell you the windows need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and water sheeting over the gutter edge in rain. Left alone, that sheeting is how water damage starts on the fascia below. Either one is a reason to book, and either one is easy to spot from the driveway. Pollen sometimes shows on the windows inside too, but the windows inside are not part of this visit.
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 a quote by phone or text. Give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the price before anything is scheduled. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the next open slot when you call rather than promising a date we cannot keep. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us that photo. Our calendar is busiest in the two windows of the year when most of our customers book, so calling early in those months gives you the most choice of days.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew calls before it comes, so you know the morning it will arrive. Our customers get professional window cleaning and gutter service without having to plan around it, and every window on the outside of the house is covered in the visit. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and both come out of the same visit. If a sill or a screen needs more attention than the standard pass, the crew tells you before doing anything extra.
We are a crew that works in one city at a time, so we keep the schedule tight. Whether you are a homeowner who wants the outside of the house looked after or a property manager with a set of buildings, the same two-person crew handles both jobs, so you do not need separate window cleaners and a gutter company, and the standard of cleaning services stays the same.
Yes. Our crew of two does the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit, and it is the same people on the ladder for both. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the water and debris from the roof never reach clean glass.
The number for residential properties comes from your stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text before any work is booked. The price we quote is the price on the invoice, and bundling both jobs costs less than two separate trips.
Yes, because the outside of a residential window takes most of the weather. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior, and that film is what dulls the glass even when the inside is clean. The crew's job on the outside is to remove dirt from the glass, frames and screens in one pass.
Across Michigan, most of our customers book in the spring and again in the fall. Those are the two times the pollen and the leaf load are heaviest on the houses we clean, which makes them the right dates to fit the calendar. The same timing works for condos as well as single houses.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. The leaves, grit and black runoff from the gutters would otherwise run down the wall and onto the windows below, so the order matters.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks get the standard pass unless they need more time, in which case the crew tells you first.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Interior window cleaning and pressure washing are not part of the job, so they are not in the quote.
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. 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.
