Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Lenox jobs most customers book this in spring and fall, so the crew knows what the calendar brings.
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, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Your estimate comes from those figures, so have them ready when you call (866) 435-6328.
On the day, the things that move a quote are the ones the crew sees from the ground and the ladder: a third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are never billed as extras. Cleaning solutions are not billed separately either, since the glass is rinsed with purified water.
On our Lenox jobs the quote tracks what sits in the gutters and on the glass, so a lightly used run and a run with a season of grit and dust are very different visits. Some of our Lenox customers on a two-story house had one run that held pollen paste from the spring bloom and a row of windows with the dust of a dry summer on them, and the quote moved up for the extra gutter hours and the second pass on the glass. Each of those jobs went out as a written number before the crew arrived. If you text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories and a rough window count, we can tell you the same way. Ask for a written estimate and we send it before anyone 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 Lenox customers book two regular cleanings a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. On our jobs the spring visit lands in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, and the dates shift a little with the weather.
In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and spring paste packed into the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs. Storm and wind seasons, especially the severe thunderstorms that come through across Michigan, can push either visit earlier or later. Heavy tree cover over the roof means our crew sees more debris between visits, and multi-story buildings tend to need a third visit, as do houses where a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or houses near a busy road or construction.
We keep cleaning services simple: a professional window cleaning at the start of the season and a gutter check at the end. Window cleaners who only do the glass tend to miss what the gutters are dropping onto it, which is why we run both. The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and grime at the sill is the other sign. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, which usually means clogged gutters and a risk of water damage at the fascia and foundation. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal.
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 windows across Lenox, and the exterior glass and gutter runs for a single house are done as one window and gutter cleaning job. The residential window work and the gutter work go on the same schedule, so you book one date for both. We clean residential properties of all sizes and keep the same method on each one. The same method serves residential and commercial glass alike.
To get started, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We will give you an estimate and hold a date. Lead times follow our calendar, and we will tell you the earliest slot when you call. Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so booking early in those months gets you the earlier slot. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, so the schedule can stay open for you to plan around.
We aim to schedule service around your sprinkler and parking needs so that we can clean clean windows on the first pass without a second visit. Every window gets the same treatment, the sill gets wiped, and the frame and screen get rinsed on request, which is part of the same visit rather than an add-on.
Yes, our window cleaning services and the gutter work are done by the same two people on the same visit. Gutters first and glass last, so the glass does not get dirty runoff on it after it has been washed.
Our washing services are priced from the stories and the approximate size of the house, and we give the number by phone or text before anyone is booked. Send a photo of the front of the house and the count of stories, and you get a written estimate.
Usually yes on our Lenox jobs, because the outside collects grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots between visits. The inside can look clean while the outside is hazy in low sun, and washing the inside does not remove dirt from the outside.
Most of our Lenox customers book in late May to June for spring and late October to November for fall. Booking early in those months gets you an earlier slot on our calendar.
No, that is the reason we do gutters first and glass last. When the gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the glass.
Sills are wiped as part of the visit, and screens and frames are rinsed on request in the same visit. Tracks are included on the glass pass, so there is no separate line for them.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, and the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing here. If you want interior and exterior glass both done, that is quoted separately.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. Condos with shared gutter runs are quoted after we check access, since the building may control the roof.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
