Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs done together in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew works across Michigan through the spring and fall cleaning seasons, and we give you the number on the phone before we ever come out.
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 the job 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. Window washing is quoted on the whole visit, the same way as the gutters, so compare washing services by the total and not by one line of the quote. Window cleaning services in our pricing cover the exterior glass only, so an interior and exterior quote is a separate job. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A large window count or oversized picture windows means more glass to work through. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another factor, since no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Oceola jobs, the quote is set once we know the stories, the window count and what the gutters look like. The easiest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories. Grime on the glass and built-up debris in the gutters both show up clearly in a photo, and that lets us give you a firm number before the crew is scheduled. Most of our regular cleanings are booked on that basis, and the same number holds when we arrive.
| 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 Oceola customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. The same schedule logic holds for residential and commercial glass, since the residue collects the same way. Here is what we find at each visit.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste sits in the gutters. The spring visit is when we deal with that residue before it sets, and we match the cleaning solutions to the residue, not to the calendar. In fall the leaf load builds up and the wet leaf mat is what sags gutters under the first freeze. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we book around them rather than on a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts loaded between cleanings. Clogged gutters on those houses spill water down the siding, and that water can cause water damage over a wet season. 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 extra grime. Multi-story buildings are priced by stories, the same as houses. Those are the houses we see on the regular three- or four-visit schedule.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Windows inside are not part of the visit, so that haze is always the outside glass. Gutters tell you the same way, with water sheeting over the edge in rain.
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 cleaned gutters and windows across Oceola, and the neighborhoods we serve are listed with each booking. Booking with us starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text, where we take the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the date on the phone.
Spring and fall are our two busy windows. Our calendar fills fast in both, so booking early keeps your slot. To schedule service, call or text and we hold the date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew of professional window cleaning staff works from the ladder and the pole, which keeps the job clean and the schedule predictable. Our cleaning services for gutters and windows share one setup, and a clean gutter line and clear glass do a lot for curb appeal. If you want the gutters and every window done in a single visit, that is the schedule we keep.
Yes. The same two people do both in one visit. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed first, then we clean the glass, so nothing dirty falls onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Residential properties are priced the same way, by stories and window count. Text us the number of stories and a photo of the front, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the exact figure before the crew is scheduled.
Yes. Windows inside are not part of this visit, and the outside carries the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up on every residential window. On our Oceola jobs the outside is where most of the grime builds up.
Our customers here usually book in spring and in fall. The spring visit comes after the early-season build-up, and the fall visit comes after the leaves fall.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. The runoff from gutters and downspouts runs down the wall while we flush, and once the gutters are clear and the downspouts flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the standard visit, and the point of rinsing is to remove dirt before it reaches the glass. None of it is billed as an extra.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. If the home is a condo, text us the number of stories and a photo first, and we will say whether the visit works.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
