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 stories and approximate window count, and two jobs in one visit cost less than booking them apart. Our crew works through the spring and fall cleaning seasons across Michigan, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 professional window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and window washing done in the same visit as the gutters costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it does not change once the crew is on the ladder.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs take longer, and a third story needs a boom or scissor lift for the back runs. Oversized picture windows and large panes take more time per pane. Gutters not cleaned in years arrive packed with seeds, needles and leaves, and clogged gutters take extra passes to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes, and we flag it before we quote it. The gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same pass, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Redford jobs the quotes that run longest are the ones where the gutters have been left for several seasons, because the water damage behind a sagging run shows up only after the debris is out. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text along with the number of stories and a rough window count, and we will give you the exact figure before anyone is booked. Clean glass and clear gutters also do more for curb appeal than either job alone, and the number on the phone is the number we will stand behind.

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, spring visits fall in late May to June and fall visits in late October to November, and many homeowners book both cleanings twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the seed paste settles in the gutter elbows, and in fall the leaf load and wet leaf mat do the damage, and the runoff carries the grit down onto the sills. Storm and wind seasons across Michigan can move those dates, so we confirm the day with you before the truck is loaded.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them, and any extra cleaning services visit is quoted before it is booked. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a film that settles on every window faster than the calendar suggests. We see these on our own jobs and say so after the first visit, so you know whether your lot needs regular cleanings or only the usual two.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, which means the glass has taken on more than the rain can wash off, and only a rinse will remove dirt that has dried on. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain, which means the run is full. Either one is a reason to call us.
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 window cleaning services and gutter work cover the residential properties on the east and west sides of town in Redford. The same order of work applies to residential and commercial buildings, including the condos and smaller multi-unit buildings, as it does to a single house. Our crew is booked with the same two-person setup whether the job is a single bungalow or a row of units with a shared roofline, and our washing services follow that setup throughout. Every residential window gets the same purified-water rinse with no cleaning solutions added, which is how we remove dirt without streaks, and the sill and frame are wiped on the way out.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. We need the number of stories and a rough window count to give you the estimate, and the estimate is the number you pay. Lead time depends on the calendar, and during the two busy windows of the year when seed and leaves peak our slots fill first, so the earlier you ask the better your date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Yes. The same two-person crew does both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the debris from the roof does not end up on clean windows.
We do not give a figure in writing without seeing the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front along with the number of stories and a rough window count, and we quote from those.
On our Redford jobs the outside carries the pollen film in spring, the rain dust that settles in the fall, and the sprinkler spots that build up in the summer. Those sit on the outer pane, so cleaning the inside does not remove them.
Across Michigan, spring visits fall in late May to June and fall visits in late October to November. Those are the windows when the seed and leaves have finished dropping, so the cleaning holds.
Not with our order of work. The gutters are cleared, the downspouts flushed, and the wall given a few minutes to drip before anyone touches the glass, so nothing comes down onto the panes afterward.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks that are packed with grime are included in the same pass, and nothing is billed as an extra.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside, and interior and exterior glass are not mixed into one quote. We also do not pressure wash the siding, so the price covers the outside of the windows and the gutters.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
