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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Most of our Madison Heights customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when the pollen, leaves and grit build up on the glass and in the gutters.
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 stories and approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs, the count of residential window panes and oversized glass, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes all change the quote. Multi-story buildings take longer to reach, so the stories count for more than the window count does. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras.
On our Madison Heights jobs, the quote usually moves most on how many stories the house has and how many windows are on the back. A customer who had one of our crews out last spring had a two-story house with a sprinkler line hitting the front glass, and the gutters were packed with seed and wet leaf paste. The crew flushed every downspout, rinsed the sprinkler spots off the glass, and the number on the invoice matched the one we gave by text. To get your exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and about how many windows you have.
Window washing on a house this size is mostly about the picture windows and the grime that sits on the sills. Our window cleaning services cover both as part of regular cleanings, and the washing services stop at the outside glass. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, so the windows inside the house are not part of this visit. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for a written estimate.

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.
Most of our Madison Heights customers book this twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In the spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the seed paste packs the gutter elbows, and in the fall clogged gutters from the wet leaf mat start to sag. On our jobs, homes with heavy tree cover over the roof usually need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts between cleanings. A house with a sprinkler line hitting the glass also needs a third visit, since the spots come back a day after cleaning. Gutters that stay full into winter are how water damage starts at the fascia. A house on a busy road or near construction gets dirtier faster as well. Residential and commercial glass do not follow the same schedule, and this page is about homes.
Window and gutter cleaning on a house with few or no trees usually does fine on a single late-fall visit. Some of our Madison Heights customers with trees over the roof are on every three or four months, because the gutters fill faster than the seasons alone would suggest. After the first visit we tell you which of those your lot actually needs.
The sign windows need it is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. Either one means it is time to book, and a text with a photo of the roofline is enough for us to tell you which.
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 gutters and windows on residential properties across Madison Heights, and our calendar fills up in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop. Professional window cleaning is only part of the visit, since the gutters come first on the same day. The fastest way to get on the schedule is to call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a written estimate before we set a date. Lead time depends on the week, so ask when we have an opening when you call. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works from the outside of the house.
Our crew handles the gutters and the glass in the same visit, using a boom or scissor lift for the taller houses. Cleaning solutions left on glass in low sun show up as streaks, so the rinse matters more than the product. Some of our cleaning services jobs in Madison Heights are for owners who want the curb appeal kept up between seasons, and we are happy to schedule service around that. We book every window on the house, not just the ones that face the street, so the back and side glass gets the same clean as the front.
Yes, our crew does both. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass does not get dirty again from the runoff.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house on residential properties like this one, so we give it by phone or by text. If the building is a condo, tell us whether the gutters are shared before we quote. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will send you the figure in writing.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the buildup here. Dust, tree film, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the outside glass, and cleaning the inside does nothing to remove dirt from the outside.
Most of our Madison Heights customers book in the spring, once the tree bloom is done, and again in the fall after the leaves come down. Booking window and gutter cleaning on that two-visit pattern keeps the gutters and the glass on the same schedule.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters runs down the wall and across any window below it, so the crew does the roof, the gutters, the downspouts and the wall before touching the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included in the same visit when they are reachable from outside.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing, but we are happy to tell you what we see on the house when we are out there.
You do not need to be home, because our crew works outside and does not come inside. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
