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. On our Livonia jobs most customers book this in spring and fall, which is when the pollen and the leaves do the most damage to glass and downspouts.
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 each window and gutter cleaning by stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you by phone or text is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk safely, window count and oversized panes, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with pollen, needles and leaves, gutter guards we have to lift and reseat, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. We see each of these on the day, so we tell you about them before we start rather than after.
One Livonia job shows how this works. A customer had a two-story house with a long back run that was packed through, and the quote moved because the gutters had not been opened in several seasons. After we cleared them, flushed each downspout and checked the flow, the glass went quickly because the crew was already set up on the same ladder position. Read the full case here. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have.
The exterior quote includes picture windows and the cleaning solutions we use on glass. Our visits cover the exterior only, so if you want the interior and exterior done, we set those up as separate visits and say so on the phone. Both residential and commercial properties are priced the same way: by stories and size, with the number confirmed before the crew arrives. Booking regular cleanings follows the same method, so a repeat visit is quoted from the same stories and window count.
| 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.
On our Livonia jobs most customers book gutters and windows twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. In the spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the seed and bud debris packs the downspout elbows. In the fall the leaf load comes down wet and sags the runs that were not cleared.
Heavy tree cover over the roof means more visits. Needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts between cleanings, and clogged gutters on those houses can back water up onto the fascia, which is how water damage starts. Sprinkler lines that hit the glass leave the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the windows than a quiet street. Those are the cases where we suggest a third visit based on what we find.
Regular cleanings, twice a year for most of our Livonia customers, are enough for professional window cleaning and gutter work to stay ahead of the seasons, and the first visit tells us which group your house falls into. Multi-story buildings and houses with several roof levels get the same cleaning services, but the crew needs more ladder time on each side.
You will know the windows need attention when a haze that only shows when the sun is low starts to dull the curb appeal of the house. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign means it is time to book a date, and a window cleaner who only does the glass will miss the gutter side of it. Our visits cover the outside of the house, not the windows inside.
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.
We clean gutters and exterior windows on residential properties across Livonia, and we schedule service by phone or text. Every residential window gets the same exterior visit as the rest of the house. To get a slot, send us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we call you back before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we always call before the truck pulls in.
Our calendar fills up in the two busy windows of the year, the spring bloom season and the fall leaf drop, so calling early in those months gives you more dates to pick from. Outside those windows the lead time is shorter. We do not promise same-day or next-day service, because the date depends on the crew schedule and the weather on the day.
Every window on the outside of the house gets the same treatment, including the sill and the frame, and the right cleaning solutions remove dirt so you get clean windows top to bottom rather than a partial job. The same crew handles window and gutter cleaning on a single visit, and the price stays the same whether you book one or both.
For a condo, send the number of stories and the outside window count the same way. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will give you a written estimate for the date you want.
Yes, and it is the same crew. Our two people handle window cleaning services and professional window cleaning on the outside of the house, along with the gutters, in one visit. Booking them together means one arrival and one set of photos.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and for condos it comes from the outside window count. We give it to you by phone or text before anything is scheduled. The number we give you is the number on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside takes the hardest hits here. Spring dust, rain dust, sprinkler spots and road grime sit on the exterior glass, so a clean inside does not stop haze from building up on the outside. We clean the exterior only on this visit.
On our Livonia jobs most customers book in late spring and in fall. Those are the periods when the spring bloom and the leaves do the most work on the glass and in the downspouts, so calling sooner gives you a better shot at the date you want.
No, which is why we do gutters first and glass last. When the gutters and downspouts are cleared, the grit and the runoff come down the wall, so the windows are the last thing we touch. The order is the reason both jobs come out clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job, so you do not pay extra for them. Our washing services also cover the frames, so the crew can remove dirt from the whole window, not just the glass. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside. Anything that needs more than the exterior visit we tell you about before we start.
We do not clean the windows inside on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. The job is exterior glass and gutters only, so the interior is a separate arrangement that we discuss on the phone.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, 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 works outside and sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
