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 approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Most of our Annapolis customers book the spring and fall visits, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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 quote by stories and approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job rather than billed as extras.
On the day, the crew finds what sets the price. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes a boom or scissor lift and more time. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is etched into the glass, and cleaning does not remove it, so we flag it and quote a separate treatment if you want it addressed.
Our crew uses the same cleaning solutions on residential and commercial work, so the glass is treated the same way on every house. Picture windows take longer to reach and rinse than standard panes, which is one more reason a high window count adds time at the glass. Regular cleanings follow the same quote as a first visit, based on the stories and the window count rather than the calendar. Some owners ask about the interior and exterior together, but this visit covers the exterior glass only.
For a firm figure on your window and gutter job, text us the stories, a rough count of the windows and a photo of the front of the house. We will tell you what the crew will see and what it costs before anyone 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.
Most of our Annapolis customers book both jobs twice a year, in late spring and again in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Professional window cleaning and gutter work fit both of those seasons, so our cleaning services run the two jobs together. In late spring the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste, and the glass carries a yellow film that shows up on south-facing panes. In late fall the wet leaf mat is the problem, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we find runs that have sagged under the weight of winter water. Heavy storms in summer and wind-driven leaf drop can move the dates a few weeks in either direction.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof fills the downspouts between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back the day after a cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than a quiet street. We see the same pattern on the multi-story buildings we work on, where the upper runs collect debris faster than the lower ones. Some window cleaners only do the glass, so a house with clogged gutters often ends up needing a second trip.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze only in low sun, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. Clogged gutters are the early warning, because water that backs up under the shingles is how water damage gets into the fascia and the wall below. Curb appeal suffers first on the street side, where a film on the glass shows up in every photo of the front of the house. The windows inside the house stay on your own schedule, since this visit covers the outside only. Those are the signs we look for at each visit, and we tell you what we found before we leave.
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 Annapolis, and every residential window on the outside gets the same care. Once we have the number of stories and a photo of the house front, we can give you a date. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we send a written estimate for the window and gutter cleaning before any date is set. Lead time depends on the season, and our calendar fills fastest in late spring and late fall, when most customers book. Please schedule service early in those windows if you have a preferred week.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew calls before it comes, works from the outside, and sends photos of every gutter run and of the clean windows when the job is finished. We clean every window the house has on the exterior, including the upper stories, and we wipe each sill so the glass and the frame leave the same way they came in.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people doing both in one visit. Our window cleaning services and the gutter work are booked together, and we clean the gutters first and the glass last so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before any date is set. Condos get the same quote method. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will send you the figure.
On our jobs in Annapolis the outside carries most of the grime, from pollen in spring, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the glass from the outside is the way to remove dirt where the weather lands on it, so the windows look clearer from the street.
Most of our Annapolis customers book in late spring and again in late fall, after the seed drop and after the last leaves fall. Those are the two windows when our calendar fills, so schedule early if you have a preferred week.
No, we clear the gutters first, flush the downspouts, and let the wall stop dripping before anyone touches the glass. Gutters and downspouts are always done before the windows, and that order is the whole reason we do both jobs in one visit.
Our washing services cover the screens, sills and tracks as part of the job, and none of them are billed as extras on our visits.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean the interior of the windows or do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. 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.
