Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We go gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water never lands on glass we have already done. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Michigan, most of our customers book spring and fall, and that is when the work is most useful.
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. Booked together in one visit, the bundle costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs the quote moves for a few reasons we can see from the ground and the ladder. Stories and steep roofs take longer to reach. Window count matters, and oversized panes take more care. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more time to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning alone. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, so they are not billed as extras.
To get an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the stories and the window count, along with a photo of the front of the house. Across Michigan, that is how we handle most quotes, and it lets the crew confirm the number before anyone books a date. For window washing on a house with picture windows, the photo tells us more than a guess would. Our window washing services start with the same question about grime and access, and the window cleaning services are priced off the same count. Regular cleanings get the same treatment: we reuse the window count from the last visit and only check what has changed. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs; this visit covers the outside only.
| 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, most of our customers book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew on one visit makes sense for both jobs.
On our jobs the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the paste packed into the gutters. The fall visit clears the leaf load, which sits wet on the roof and in the gutters once the trees drop. Leaf timing hits residential and commercial buildings alike, so the spring and fall dates apply to both. Storms and strong wind can move both dates, so we book around the forecast when it matters.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Where spotting has set in, cleaning solutions are used on the frame and sill, and the glass may need a separate mineral treatment. Multi-story buildings and houses near a busy road or a construction site pick up more grime. These are the places where clogged gutters and water damage show up first, so we watch them more closely.
The glass tells you when it needs cleaning. You see a haze when the sun is low, and it is worse on the side that faces the weather. Dust gets onto windows inside too, but that is a separate job and not part of these visits. The gutters tell you as well: when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout, the run needs clearing.
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 cleans gutters and exterior windows across Van Buren Township, and we tell you the lead time when you call. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Spring and fall are the busy windows, and our calendar fills then. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early and schedule service while the dates are open. Our window cleaners work the same route every visit, so the crew that gave you the estimate is the one that does the job, and the cleaning services on the quote are the ones they perform. We do professional window cleaning on the outside of every window we reach, from the ground or from a boom or scissor lift where the house needs one. Curb appeal starts with a clean sill and a clean frame, and we do both on every window.
Yes, it is the same crew, and the two jobs happen in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing dirty drips onto windows we have already done.
The number comes from the stories and the window count. Give us both by phone or text, and we quote the exact figure before the crew books a date.
Yes, because the outside carries the dust, the rain film and the sprinkler spots. The outside of a residential window takes the most grime, so it needs its own visit even when the inside stays as it is.
Across Michigan, most of our customers book in spring and fall. On the residential properties we clean here, the spring visit comes after the pollen drops and the fall visit comes after the leaves.
No, because we clear the gutters and downspouts, flushing each one, before we touch the glass. The wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and then the glass is done.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and frames are done as part of the job. They are not billed as extras. Some runoff from the downspouts is normal during a flush, and the crew keeps the stream clear of the walk.
We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. The outside of the glass is what we clean, and that is enough to remove dirt from rain and pollen. The same outside-only visit applies to condos and houses alike.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
