Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing runs down onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Most of our Riverview customers book it for spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest on the house.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We quote from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing the gutters and the outside glass together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work out a written estimate from those details.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs take more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows take more care per pane. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers will not come off with cleaning alone. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Riverview job we look at window and gutter work as one visit, which is why the quote is built that way. The pollen on the glass and the paste in the gutters are both removed in the same pass, and the cleaning solutions we use on the glass are chosen for the surface. The price for the interior and exterior of a house is quoted separately, and this visit covers the exterior only. If you have several residential and commercial buildings, the quote is per building and we will say so before we start. For the bigger picture windows and the regular cleanings that keep the glass clear between visits, ask us for the exact count when you book. To get the number right, tell us the stories, the window count, and send a photo of the front of the house by text.
| 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.
Across Michigan, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and the fall visit in late October to November. Most of our Riverview customers book both twice a year on that calendar, so one crew doing both in a single visit makes sense.
In late spring we find a film on south-facing glass and a paste packed into the gutters and elbows. Spring rain runoff carries that grime down the wall and onto the lower panes, which is why the gutters go first. In the fall the leaf load is the main problem, along with the wet mat that sits in the runs through the winter. Severe thunderstorms across Michigan can move these dates, so we confirm the timing when you call.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loading between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the rest. In those cases our cleaning services run on a tighter schedule, and our window cleaners go back to the same panes each time so the marks do not build up. The windows inside the house are a separate job and stay off this calendar.
Professional window cleaning on the outside is what keeps the house looking right. Clean windows change the curb appeal of the whole front of the house. Clogged gutters, left alone, lead to water damage at the fascia and foundation. You will know windows need attention when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low, and gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in the 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.
Booking with us starts with a quote by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we tell you the price and the next open date. Lead time is set by our calendar, and when the spring and fall windows fill up, the first open slots go fast, so ask early. To schedule service, pick an open date and we confirm the arrival time by text. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew handles window and gutter cleaning across residential properties and the condos around them, and our window cleaning services reach every window on the outside of the house. Our washing services clean the sill, the frame and the glass on each pane, and the gutters and downspouts in the same visit. On a residential window job the glass should come out clear, and when a pane still shows marks after we leave, we come back and fix it.
Yes. The same two people do both, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty gutter water does not reach the clean windows.
The number depends on the stories and the approximate window count, and it covers the washing services on the outside of the house. We give it to you by phone or text before we book.
Yes. On our Riverview jobs the outside collects rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots, and those are the panes we wash from the pole and the ladder.
Across Michigan the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. We confirm the open dates for Riverview when you call.
No. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, let the wall drip off, and only then touch the glass, so the runoff does not reach the clean panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and the frames are done as part of the visit, not billed separately. That is how we remove dirt from the corners where grime sits.
On this visit we do exterior windows only. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
