Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew does this work in Waterford, and most of our customers book it in the spring and fall.
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.
Our washing services and window cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing gutters and windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a residential window count with oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and 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. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder, and the quote reflects the stories. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
The houses that take the most time are the ones where the gutters have gone a long time between cleanings and grime has built up on the glass. Houses kept on regular cleanings take less time per visit than ones that have gone years without service. When we get to a house like that, we clear the gutters and downspouts, then wash the windows, so the outside of the house is cleaned in the right order. To get an exact number, send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will tell you the price before we schedule anything.
We do not clean windows inside the house on this visit, and interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs. The crew handles the exterior of your home, so the window washing covers the outside surfaces 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, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, so both jobs fit on one calendar. At the spring visit the pollen film is on the south-facing glass and the pollen paste is packed into the gutters, and the crew picks cleaning solutions for that film rather than the mix it uses in the fall. In the fall we deal with the wet leaf load. Windows pick up a haze that you only notice when the sun is low, and a rinse alone will not remove dirt that has baked on. Clogged gutters are the main reason water sheets over the edge in a hard rain, and that water can lead to water damage at the fascia and the wall under it.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings, and the runoff from those gutters can stain the wall below, while a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder, so a taller house may need a longer visit even when the glass is light. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grit on the glass, and those are the houses we see on a shorter schedule. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we confirm the timing when we call.
We are not going to tell you that every house needs the same schedule. The order of work, gutters first and glass last, is the same for residential and commercial buildings, but the prices on this page are for houses. After the first visit, the crew will tell you which of these your house actually needs.
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 cleaning services for gutters and windows across the Waterford area, and most homeowners on residential properties want exterior work done without a second trip. Plenty of people assume window cleaners and gutter crews are two separate trades, but ours is one crew. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Our typical lead time is set out in the scheduling details, and we confirm the day before. In the two busy windows of the year, the spring and fall visits, our calendar fills faster, so it helps to call early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come. If you are looking for professional window cleaning services that cover the whole house, including every window on the outside and the sill under each one, this is the visit that does it in one trip. Good curb appeal depends on the glass and the gutters being clean at the same time, and that is why we schedule the two together. If your place is one of the condos in a shared building, call first so we can confirm access and which windows the crew can reach.
Yes. The same crew does both in one visit, and we do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters is cleared before anyone touches the windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate residential window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number before we schedule.
On our jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and a quick rinse will not remove dirt that has dried on the glass, so the outside needs cleaning even when the inside looks fine. Exterior window cleaning is a separate job from the inside, and we do the outside only.
Across Michigan the spring visit usually falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. Residential properties are booked on the same calendar, and the timing is confirmed when we call.
Not if the work is done in the right order. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and do the glass last, so the runoff is cleared before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed, and sills are wiped as part of the job. They are not billed as extras.
We do not clean windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. The work is exterior glass only.
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. Our crew sends photos of the gutters and the finished glass before they leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
