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 falls back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Michigan, most of our customers book us in the spring and fall, when the leaf and grit loads are heaviest.
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 window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing gutters and exterior windows together in one visit, through our washing services, costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the quote moves with a few things we see on the day. A steep roof or a third story changes how the crew sets up. A high window count, or oversized panes, adds time at the glass. Gutters and downspouts nobody has opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Heavy grime on the sills adds time, and some jobs need extra passes to remove dirt that has baked onto the glass. Runoff from a backed-up run can soak the wall below it, and the crew cleans that up as part of the visit. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning alone, and we tell you that before the crew starts. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are included in the price.
Across Michigan, the simplest way to get an exact number for our window cleaning services is to text us a photo of the front of the house with your story count and a rough window count. Condos get the same photo request, since the building front and window count set the time on site. Our crew works from that and confirms the price before the visit, so there is no surprise on the invoice.
Some Norton Shores houses take more time than they look like they should. On one job we quoted from a photo, the front of the house showed a modest roofline, but the clogged gutters on the side were packed with grit and the windows had years of sprinkler spotting, and that is what set the final number. We wrote that down and quoted the next house with the same questions in mind. If your house has a similar story, the crew will tell you on the phone what to expect.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to get your number in writing before we book the date.

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 window and gutter work twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Most houses do well with two cleanings a year, once in each season.
What we find at each visit tracks the season. In spring, a yellow film sits on south-facing glass and seed paste packs the gutters, so the first pass is about getting the seed and pollen out before it dries. In fall, the leaf load comes down in wet mats, and that is when runs that were not cleared start to sag. The crew picks cleaning solutions to suit the glass, and storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed day.
Some houses need regular cleanings beyond the two a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps debris coming in between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and large picture windows on a sunny side show the spotting first. A house near a busy road or construction picks up a layer of grit faster than most. On those houses, our crew checks the schedule against what it finds on the first visit and tells you the interval that fits. The same timing applies to residential and commercial buildings, since the leaf load does not change with the type of building.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze only in low sun. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. Interior and exterior glass get dirty in different ways, and this visit covers the exterior only.
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 professional window cleaning crews clean for residential properties and homeowners across Norton Shores, and the calls we take come from the whole city. To schedule service, we start from a phone or text estimate that uses your story count and a photo of the house front. Lead time is set when you book, and we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
The two busy windows of the year fill our calendar first, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal before a sale or a visit. When the spring pollen and the fall leaf load arrive, booking slots go quickly, and clogged gutters that overflow can lead to water damage, so the sooner you ask for a date, the easier it is to get the one you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew handles the outside of the glass and the gutters on the same visit, and we keep the scope simple, since we are window cleaners first. We are not a general repair service, and we do not clean windows inside the house on this visit. What we do is the outside of the windows and the gutters, cleaned the same day. Multi-story buildings get a longer setup, so the quote reflects the height.
Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, or ask for a written estimate with your stories and window count.
Yes. For Norton Shores houses, window and gutter cleaning is one visit, and the same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows, gutters first and glass last.
The price comes from the number of stories and the residential window count on the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front, and we will give you the number from those.
Usually the outside is what carries the rain dust and sprinkler spotting in Norton Shores, so the outside is the part that changes how the glass looks. Keeping clean windows on the outside makes the inside look better too, and every window on the outside gets the same rinse.
Across Michigan, most of our customers book in the spring and fall. Text us to schedule service on a date that fits your calendar.
No. We clean gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters comes down before the glass is touched.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and those are part of the job. Tracks are included on the standard visit.
We clean the exterior only on this visit. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Our crew sends photos of each run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
