Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. On our Aberdeen jobs, most customers book the pair in spring and fall, so the calendar fills twice a year.
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, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A high window count or oversized panes add to the glass work. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleared in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to hand-clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the cleaning solutions for the frames are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a single-story house with a modest window count, the quote lands near the low end of the range we give on the phone. On a two- or three-story house with a lot of glass and a full gutter run, the window and gutter cleaning combination is where the bundle saving shows up most. Our crew has seen a house with a dense run of downspouts and a mix of picture windows and standard sashes, where the sill and screen work was the largest share of the time, and the quote reflected that. A photo of the front of the house, sent by text, lets us see the stories and the glass before we give the number.
Every quote we give is for the job described, not a general rate. Cleanings are scheduled to the house, and regular cleanings keep the gutter load and the glass from building up between visits. If you want the exact number for your house, send the stories and an estimate of the windows, and we will confirm it before the truck is booked.

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.
On our Aberdeen jobs, most customers book both twice a year, once in the spring month and once in the fall month, and one crew in one visit makes that schedule simple. Across Maryland the same two windows apply to most houses.
In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and paste packed into the gutters and elbows. In fall we find the wet leaf mat and the grime and grit that the leaves hold against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we confirm the visit by phone before we come.
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 the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames. On those houses we set a shorter interval, because the clogged gutters and the spotting return faster than twice a year.
Professional window cleaning services on a regular schedule keep the exterior glass clear, and that protects curb appeal for the front of the house. The sign windows need it is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain, which can lead to water damage behind the fascia.
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 residential properties across Aberdeen, and the residential window and gutter cleaning follows the same process at each house. This page is about residential work; if a property is mixed residential and commercial, mention it on the call so we can say what applies. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, where you give the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Window cleaning services follow the same booking path, so one call covers both. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we tell you the first open date on that call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so the earlier you book, the better your chance at the date you want. Outside those windows the schedule usually has room.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside without entering the house. Each clean window and each gutter run gets photographed, and we will schedule service for the same day you agree on the phone, or the next open date if that is not possible.
When you schedule service with us, we clean every window on the outside, the frame and the sill, and we confirm each visit in writing.
Yes, it is the same two people, and we do both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters does not end up on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and multi-story buildings and condos are quoted from the same details. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number before we book.
On our jobs in Aberdeen the outside carries the tree dust, the rain dust and the sprinkler spotting, so the glass often looks dirtier from outside. Cleaning the outside alone is a complete job.
Most of our Aberdeen customers book in the spring and in the fall, when tree debris and leaves are heaviest. Booking early in those months gets you a date you want.
No, we clean gutters first and glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass is done once they are finished.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, and we confirm the details when we give the estimate.
This visit covers the exterior glass only, so we do not clean the windows inside. We do not offer pressure washing services, and if you want any interior and exterior work, mention it when you call since this page covers the outside only.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, 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.
