Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the rough window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Most of our Romulus customers book it for the spring and fall cleanings, and the same two people do both jobs every time. Call (866) 435-6328 to get a number.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Tell us the stories and a rough count of the windows, and we will give you one figure before the crew is scheduled.
On the day, the things that move the quote are the ones the crew sees from the ground and the roof: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years, guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The windows inside are not part of the quote, and nothing inside the house is billed on this visit. Clean glass also does a lot for curb appeal, since the front of the house is the first thing a visitor sees.
On a house where the gutters are packed with needles and leaves, the crew spends more time on the roof before the glass is touched, and the quote reflects that. Clogged gutters are the first thing we clear, because water damage from a backed-up run shows up on the fascia long before anyone notices it on the glass. Multi-story buildings and older homes with a lot of glass take longer, which is why we ask about the stories before we name a number. Window washing on a two-story house is a morning, and professional window cleaning on three stories is most of a day, so we schedule it that way.
Most of our Romulus jobs start with a text: a photo of the front of the house, the number of stories, and a count of the windows you want done. If you are not sure of the count, say so and we will count it from the photo with you. Ask for a written estimate and we will send it the same day, with the bundle price next to the price for each job on its own, so you can see what the second visit would have cost.

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 homeowners who book both jobs do it twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is the calendar we work from in Romulus too. The spring visit falls in late May to June across Michigan, when the spring cleaning has to clear the pollen film from south-facing glass and the sticky paste packed into the gutter elbows. In late October and November it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs until the first hard freeze.
What we find at each visit depends on the trees and the weather that season. Heavy bloom years leave a film you can see on the glass in direct sun, and the same bloom turns to paste in the gutters after a few rains. A heavy leaf drop fills the runs faster than a spring cleaning can prepare for, and wind-driven debris from the severe thunderstorms across Michigan can move the dates. Houses under heavy tree cover, with a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or near a busy road or a construction site often need a third visit, and we tell you that after the first look rather than selling it up front.
A sprinkler that hits the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after a cleaning, and those need a mineral treatment, not more water. Every window on the house should be checked at each visit, and every sill wiped, because the grime that sits on the sill is what runs down the frame after rain. A residential window stays clean longer when the sill is wiped at every visit. Clean windows stay clean longer when the gutters above them are running right. We schedule service around the weather and the lead time for your address, and we call before we come. Ask about cleaning services for the gutters and the glass together, since one visit costs less than two.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 in Romulus and across the surrounding area, and the crew can usually tell you within the day what your lead time looks like. Booking starts with a phone call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm a slot and a window. We do not promise a same-day or next-day visit, because the calendar depends on the season. Our washing services cover the glass and the gutters on one visit, so window cleaning services and gutter work come from one call.
The two busy windows are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and that is when the calendar fills fastest. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Outside them there is usually room, and a slot can come up in a week or two. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
Our crew handles single-family houses, townhouses and small condos, and the same visit covers the gutters and downspouts and the exterior glass. On a building with several units, the common runs and the windows facing the street are cleaned on the same day, so the grime and the runoff from one side do not end up on the other. Each visit ends with photos sent to you, and we remove dirt from every run and every sill before the crew leaves.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people doing both in one visit. Gutters go first, because the debris washes down onto the glass if the glass is done before the runs are flushed.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, the same way for residential and commercial buildings, and we give it by phone or text before the crew is scheduled. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that never reach the inside glass. Those are the marks that show up first when the sun is low.
Across Michigan most homeowners book two visits a year, one in the spring and one in the fall. The spring visit falls in late May to June, and our fall visit is late October to November, so booking early for either window helps.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is done first, the water from the runs runs down the wall and across any window below it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included on the same visit. The glass is done with purified water and no cleaning solutions, so there is nothing left on it to streak. None of these are billed as extras on our jobs.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only. The interior and exterior of a house are separate jobs for us, and we do not clean the inside of the windows or do pressure washing on this visit, and we say so up front.
You do not need to be home, and the crew does not come inside. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, 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.
