Yes, 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 rough window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across Michigan, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when the leaves and grime have done their damage.
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 and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutter cleaning and window washing in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you that number before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof steep enough that we have to work from a boom or scissor lift takes more time and more setup. A large window count, or picture windows and other oversized panes that need the pole and more passes, adds time. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need longer to clear, and a clear run is what keeps the curb appeal of the front of the house from wearing down at the fascia. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the job, and we quote them as we see them. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is not something a cleaning removes, so we flag it on the visit rather than charging for a cleaning that cannot fix it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside the house are not part of this quote.
On our Sturgis jobs, the quote usually turns on one thing that is easy to miss from the street: the rear of a house on a slope, where the back run sits higher than it looks. When the back gutters sit two stories up behind a deck, with a window count nobody has taken from the front, the quote moves once we see it. Give us the stories, the window count and a photo of the house front, and we will tell you where it lands. Every quote is also checked for the signs of water damage behind the fascia, since clogged gutters that overflow for years show up there first.
| 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. Regular cleanings follow that calendar, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both.
In late spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters and the downspout elbows. In late fall it is the wet leaf mat that has built up over the summer, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see gutter runs that have sagged under ice by March. Across Michigan, the severe thunderstorm season can move both dates, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust on the sill and the frames faster than the rest. Residential window cleaning on those houses is still one visit with the gutters. Those are the houses where we suggest a schedule service with more frequent visits, sized to what we see across the cleanings rather than a fixed rule.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the first date, or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which visit your house needs first.
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 provides window cleaning services and gutter cleaning across Sturgis, and the booking works the same way everywhere in the city. You request an estimate by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We send back the number, and once it is agreed we set a date. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when leaves and dust are heaviest, our calendar fills faster, so booking early helps. Homeowners often hire window cleaners and gutter crews separately, and that two-trip pattern is what we avoid.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know the crew is on the way. We serve residential and commercial properties: homeowners, residential properties with multi-story buildings, and the condos we clean on the same route. The outside of every window on those buildings is cleaned in the same pass as the gutters and downspouts.
Rain, dust and grit leave runoff on the glass and grime on the frames, and our washing services are built to remove dirt without leaving a film behind. Glass is rinsed with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so there is no film left to streak. Cleaning services like this one are most useful when the gutters are clear first, so that nothing washes back down onto clean windows.
Yes. Our crew does both, gutters first and glass last, so the same two people handle the roof, the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front and we will quote it before the visit.
On our Sturgis jobs the outside carries most of the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass gets dirty from the outside first. Cleaning the outside is what restores the view through the window.
Across Michigan, regular cleanings fall in late May to June and late October to November, so those are the windows to book in Sturgis too.
No. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. Doing it the other way round is how dirty water runs across a window someone just washed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the same visit, and we do not bill them as separate extras.
This visit covers the exterior glass only, not the interior and exterior of a window as one package. We do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not do pressure washing, so ask us about those separately if you need them.
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. Our crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
