Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the job 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 this in the spring and in the fall.
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. Gutter work and window washing on the same house are priced as one job, so the number we give on the phone covers both. If you are comparing washing services, ask every company for one number for the whole house, not a per-window rate. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew does not hand you a range and then invent extras on the ladder.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized picture windows with a heavy layer of grime that takes more time per square foot, gutters and downspouts nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. A packed gutter sends runoff down the siding in the first rain, so that run is the first thing we clear. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house, tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have, or call (866) 435-6328. Our office and our crew work from the same count, so the figure you get is the one that shows up on the invoice. The same count works for condos and single-family homes. Dirt that sits on the surface of the glass is part of the price, so the crew can remove dirt without adding a surcharge. Across Michigan, this is the same process on every house we clean, and it takes a few minutes.

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 customers book this twice a year. The spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit falls in late October to November. A window and gutter visit in those two windows catches the buildup from the season before it has time to settle in, and one crew in one visit makes that simple to schedule. Most of this applies to residential and commercial buildings alike, since gutters and glass collect the same grime either way.
In spring we find a film of pollen on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste in the gutters, and the downspout elbows are often packed with seeds. In fall we find the wet leaf mat that sits in the gutters after the last drop, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that have sagged under the weight of it by the time winter comes. Freeze risk is real in Macomb, so clearing the runs before the first hard freeze keeps them from packing with ice. Across Michigan, severe thunderstorms can move those dates, so we confirm the timing when you call.
Some houses need regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, so those customers tend to book regular cleanings on a three to four month schedule. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road collects more grime on its picture windows than one farther out. The interior and exterior glass pick up dust at different rates, so the schedule covers the outside. The crew uses purified water rather than heavy cleaning solutions, so the glass dries without residue. Our crew will tell you which of these applies to your lot after the first visit.
Two signs tell you the windows need a cleaning sooner. The first is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The second is gutter water sheeting over the edge during rain, which means the runs are no longer carrying what they should.
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 exterior windows across Macomb, and we work with the cleaning services and window cleaners that homeowners compare when they plan a visit. Homeowners comparing window cleaning services often end up with two bills, and we handle both in one visit. What you get is professional window cleaning and gutter work done by the people on the ladder, not a call center that passes the job along. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we confirm a date from there.
In the busy weeks of the year, when leaves come down in fall, our calendar fills faster, so it helps to book before the first warm week or before the leaves are down. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. The crew works from the outside, so the windows inside the house stay as they are. Keeping clean windows and clear gutters does a lot for curb appeal, and both show from the street. Every window on the outside gets the same rinse and wipe.
Our crew cleans gutters and windows on multi-story buildings as well as single-family homes. A run of clogged gutters that has been left too long can be the start of water damage at the fascia and the wall below it, which is one reason a steady schedule is worth the time. Ask us about the date and we will tell you where the slot falls.
Yes. For a residential window job, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and that is the point of booking both together. We do the gutters first, so the dirty water is down and flushed before anyone touches the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count on your house. Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories, and we will give you the exact figure by phone or text before anything is booked.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the dust film, rain grime and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Clean windows inside can still look hazy from the outside in low sun, and that haze is what our crew removes from the outside glass.
Most residential properties in Macomb book in the spring, after the pollen drop, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Across Michigan the same two windows work, so book early if you want to schedule service on your preferred date.
Not if the order is right. Gutters first, glass last: the leaves, grit and black runoff come off the runs and down the wall first, and the windows are washed only after that is done.
Every window on the outside gets its sill wiped, and screens are rinsed as part of the job, not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the exterior window clean on the visit.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this booking.
No, 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.
