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 together costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Owosso customers book this in the spring and fall, when the tree dust and the leaves 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.
Gutter and window cleaning is priced by stories and 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. The price moves with what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are billed by the time they take. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning, so we note it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Pollen season and leaf season are the two heaviest loads we see in Owosso, and the cleaning solutions we use are matched to the glass and the gutter, not to a fixed kit. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same order of work: gutters cleared, downspouts flushed, then the glass. Most of our repeat customers book regular cleanings on the same schedule each year, so the quote they get the second time is the same as the first if the house has not changed.
We give you one number by phone or text after we know the stories, the approximate window count and a photo of the front of the house. Send the photo of the front of the house and the count of windows on each floor, and you get the exact figure, with picture windows and any interior and exterior work called out separately. Our crew works on the outside only on this visit.
| 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 Owosso customers book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Michigan the pattern is the same: the spring pollen film settles on south-facing glass and into the gutters, and the fall leaves pack the downspouts before the first hard freeze. Our cleaning services are scheduled around those two windows.
In the spring we find a yellow film of tree dust on the glass and a paste of seed and grit in the gutter elbows. In the fall the load is wet leaves in a mat that holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we schedule by the house rather than the calendar. Professional window cleaning on a regular schedule keeps the glass clear, and gutters on the same schedule keep the water moving.
Some houses need a third visit. Multi-story buildings with heavy tree cover over the roof are one case. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another, because those spots come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets dust in the gutters faster than most, and a gutter that stays full in the fall is the usual route to water damage at the fascia. Window cleaners who only do the glass will not see the gutter side of that problem, which is why we look at both.
You will know the windows need cleaning when there is a haze or grime you only notice when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters also keep curb appeal up through the season.
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 clean residential properties, including condos, and clean windows across Owosso, with the same two-person crew on every job. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year when the pollen and leaves come down. If you want a slot in those weeks, schedule service early and we will confirm the date in writing. Call (866) 435-6328 to book your slot.
The crew calls before they come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. We clear gutters and downspouts first, then clean every window on the outside that can be reached from the ground or the pole, and we check each sill and frame as we go. Every window and every gutter run gets a photo, so you can see the result before the truck leaves. This is the same window and gutter cleaning we do on any residential window job, with one crew and one visit.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning are done by the same two people in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Send a photo of the front and the window count by text, and we give you the figure.
Yes, if the outside is carrying tree dust, rain grime or sprinkler spots, since those land on the glass before anything gets in. The outside is where we remove dirt first.
Most of our Owosso customers book in the spring and in the fall. Across Michigan the timing follows the tree dust and the leaves.
No. We clear the gutters first and wash the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters never reaches panes we have already done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
We clean the exterior only on this visit, so windows inside stay as they are. We do not offer washing services for siding, decks or driveways.
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. Call (866) 435-6328 to confirm the date.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
