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 both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Most of our Mount Pleasant customers book it each spring and fall, when the leaf loads and rain dust are heaviest. Our crew has done that work on local houses for years and knows what the spring and fall visits turn up. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you a number on the phone.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we confirm it before the crew is scheduled. Many window cleaners quote the glass and the gutters as two jobs; we quote them as one.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the window washing job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside are not part of this quote, so the number on the phone covers the outside only.
On a Mount Pleasant job, the quote usually comes down to how many stories the house has and how many windows face the street. A photo of the front of the house sent by text, along with the story count, lets us give you the exact number before a crew is booked. Clogged gutters and water damage from runoff against the fascia show up the same way on the ladder, and we photograph them so you can see what we found. Clean windows and cleaned gutters both hold their value on the curb appeal of the house, and a crew that does both in one visit avoids paying for two setups. Professional window cleaning on multi-story buildings takes a boom or scissor lift, and that setup cost is already in the 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.
Most of our Mount Pleasant customers book both twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Michigan, the spring visit runs late May to June and the fall visit runs late October to November. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. Fall is when the leaf load and the wet leaf mat come down, and on houses that skipped that visit we see sagging runs by March.
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 collects more dust on the frames. Residential properties with those conditions are on three or four visits a year, and everything else does fine on two.
You can tell when windows need it by the haze you only notice when the sun is low. You can tell gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Ask us to schedule service on a set cycle and both stay clear between visits, and we set that up with you on the first 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.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text us to book. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will tell you the next open date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. The two busy windows of the year are the spring season, when road grime settles on the glass, and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills during both, so booking early in those months gets you a slot sooner. Our crew comes to remove dirt from the glass and the gutter runs, not just rinse the surface, and we clean gutters and downspouts on the same visit.
Our crew works on residential window cleaning and gutter cleaning in the city and the houses around it. Commercial buildings get the same visit, scheduled per building. Whether you need washing services for one storefront or window cleaning services for a set of condos, the first step is the same estimate.
Yes, our crew does both in one visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder. We start with the gutters and finish with the glass so nothing runs back down the wall onto clean windows.
The number comes from the story count and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front of the house and the story count, and we will give you the exact figure before we book the crew. We quote residential and commercial jobs the same way, by stories and window count.
Usually yes, because the outside takes the dust, rain film and sprinkler spots that build up here. Those are on the glass before any indoor dirt matters, so the outside is where most of the visible haze comes from.
Our Mount Pleasant customers usually book in late spring and late fall. Across Michigan, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run late October to November, and those are the weeks the calendar fills. For houses with heavy tree cover, regular cleanings three or four times a year keep the gutters clear. Call (866) 435-6328 to book early.
No, because we clean gutters first and the glass last. Once the gutters are cleared and the downspouts flushed, the wall has time to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows. The gutter cleanings follow that same order on every house. We use purified water on the glass rather than cleaning solutions, so there is no soap film to dry streaky.
Screens, sills and frames are part of the exterior visit and are not billed as extras. Tracks on the outside are wiped as part of the same job. Picture windows are cleaned from the outside like the rest, but oversized panes are one of the things that move the quote.
We do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing on this visit. This is exterior glass and gutters only, and we do not offer an interior and exterior package from this crew.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while 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.
