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 the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Saginaw customers book it each spring and fall, when pollen and fallen leaves build up on the glass and in the gutters. Doing both in one trip also means the whole outside of the house gets done, and clean windows add to curb appeal. Call (866) 435-6328 to get the number before the crew is booked.
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 doing both gutter cleaning and window cleaning in one visit comes in below booking the two separately. The crew counts every window on the outside, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Our window washing and washing services follow the same counts, so there is no hidden step once the crew arrives.
On our jobs, the quote moves with a handful of things the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large number of residential windows or oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter 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, and the crew uses purified water instead of cleaning solutions on the glass.
Gutters pick up a lot of grime and dirt, and when they clog, the runoff goes down the siding and onto the glass below. Clearing that out before the windows gets done is why we do the gutters first. Most homes we see have a fair amount of tree cover, and the tree dust in the spring settles on south-facing windows and gets pushed into the gutters and downspouts. To remove dirt from the glass and the runoff from the wall, the crew works in that order, which is also why the windows come out clean.
On residential properties, the easiest way to get an exact number is to tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows are on the outside, then text a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to quote the gutters and the window washing in one figure, with no surprises on the invoice.
| 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.
In Saginaw, most of our customers book the window and gutter service twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. Spring is when the pollen film shows up on the glass and the sticky tree residue packs into the gutter elbows. Fall is when the leaves come down and the wet mat sits in the runs. Both visits are on the same calendar, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for most homes.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit in the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames. We see these cases on our jobs and plan the third visit with the customer rather than guessing.
Windows tell you when they need it: a faint haze you only notice when the sun is low, or a film on the picture windows that the rain does not clear. Gutters tell you too, usually by water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Regular cleanings keep the buildup from getting that far, but when you see either sign, that is usually the right time to book the next cleaning.
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 crew works across Saginaw and the rest of the area, and we book our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning slots through the estimate by phone or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328, give us the number of stories, and send a photo of the house front, and we tell you when we can get there. The calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring bloom season and the fall leaf drop, so the earlier you call, the better your chance of the day you want.
We call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. The crew does not go inside, and the windows inside the house stay as they are. Leave the side gate unlocked. Our professional window cleaning and our gutter crew run the same route, so a single appointment covers both cleaning services without a second trip.
For multi-story buildings and older homes, the crew checks the gutter runs for clogged gutters and sagging hangers before they start, because water damage often begins at a single blocked downspout. Condos get the same order of work: gutters first, glass last. If something needs a repair, we photograph it and tell you, but we do not sell it.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Nobody has to come back for the second job.
We give the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. Tell us the stories and the window count, send a photo of the front, and we quote it before the crew is booked.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the grime here: tree dust in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. The inside can be fine while the outside clouds the view.
Across Michigan, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. Those are the windows when tree dust and leaves are heaviest on our jobs.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, the gutter debris runs down the wall and across it, so the order is the reason it stays clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side. None of these show up as separate charges on the invoice.
Not on this visit. We do exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is quoted separately, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit either. This page is written for residential properties, so call (866) 435-6328 before booking a commercial building.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
