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 New Baltimore jobs most customers book in the spring and fall, which is when leaves and grit build up fastest. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and window count, and we will give you the number right then.
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 number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Doing the window and gutter work in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips, because one crew sets up once and works the house from one ladder position per side.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time. Picture windows and oversized panes take more care per square foot. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down heavy with grit and need more flushing. Heavy pollen in spring also adds time on the glass. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate job, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get an exact number, send us a photo of the front of the house by text, along with your stories and a rough count of windows. Residential and commercial jobs both start the same way, with the crew reading the house before anyone quotes it. Our cleanings are scheduled around the same spring and fall windows, so a quote given now holds for the next visit.
Companies that price by the foot of gutter run often land in a similar place once the stories are counted, which is why we ask for the stories first. Cleaning solutions for the glass are included, along with the purified water we use to rinse it, so there is no separate line for it. Interior and exterior glass is priced differently, and this visit covers only the exterior, not the windows inside.
Our experience here is that a quote is most accurate when the crew has seen the back of the house too. If there is a sprinkler line hitting the glass, a walk-out basement or a porch roof over the windows, mention it when you book, so the estimate already includes the extra time and no one is surprised on the day.

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 New Baltimore jobs most customers book our cleaning services twice a year, once in late spring and once in late fall, and that is why one crew doing both jobs in one visit makes sense for them. The spring visit comes after the seed drop, and the fall visit comes after the last leaves have dropped and before the first hard freeze.
In the spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed into the gutter elbows. In the fall the leaf load is the main problem, a wet mat that sits in the runs and drags on the gutter brackets. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates by a few weeks, so we book the visit once we see what the roof looks like, not from the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit, and we tell you early when that is the case. 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 dust faster than a quiet street does. These are the cases where regular cleanings beat waiting for a visible problem, and a house that gets professional window cleaning on a set schedule rarely has to wait for a bad season to be looked at.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low, and you will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Clogged gutters are the usual cause of that sheeting, and water damage to fascia and siding often starts there. A clean pane also keeps the curb appeal of the house up between visits, since a haze shows most from the street.
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 have done window and gutter cleaning across New Baltimore, and the service area reaches the neighborhoods around the city center as well as the streets further out. Booking starts with a phone call or a text with your stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm a date once the crew has seen the photo. Lead time varies with the season, so ask us for the current opening when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and our calendar fills fastest then. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early, and if you need to schedule service on a weekday evening, say so when you call. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we always call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
Residential properties are most of our work, and the same crew handles condos and multi-story buildings with the same approach. Every residential window gets the same attention, from the upper floors reached by the pole to the low panes near the porch. The sill and frame get wiped on every window, not just the glass. If you need a time that does not fit the standard calendar, tell us when you book and we will look at what we can schedule.
Yes, it is the same two people in one visit. Gutters are done first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not end up on clean windows.
We do not give a figure here because the number depends on the size of the house and the window count. Send us your stories and a photo of the front of the house by text or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the exact number before we book.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime in New Baltimore, from spring dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Exterior cleaning keeps the glass clear even when the inside looks fine.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. Across Michigan the spring visit usually lands in late May or June, and the fall visit here is in late October or November.
Not if the gutters are cleared first. When we clear a run, the grit and water come down the wall, so we remove dirt from the runs before the glass is touched, and the glass is done only after the gutters and downspouts are finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on windows we can reach from the outside.
Exterior only on this visit. Our washing services and window cleaning services do not cover the inside of the glass, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
