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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Maryland, most of our customers book it in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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, with no add-ons that show up after the crew arrives.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or 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. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Maryland, a window and gutter job tends to be quoted fastest when you text us a photo of the front of the house along with the stories and a rough window count. A photo lets us see the roofline, the run of gutter we will reach from the ground, and any picture windows that need a boom or scissor lift. Interior and exterior glass are not the same job, and we only quote the exterior here. A residential and commercial job is quoted on its own, after a photo, so the house number here does not apply to it.
Pollen season adds work on our jobs, since the film sits on south-facing glass and the paste packs the gutter elbows. Our cleaning solutions stay with purified water on the glass, so nothing dries to a film. Our crew knows what to look for in those runs, and any roof damage or water damage we find is photographed and reported, never sold. Regular cleanings on the same schedule keep the work quick and the quote steady from one visit to the next.

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 Aspen Hill customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our jobs, the spring visit lands in mid to late May and the fall visit in November to early December.
In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the paste packed into the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs after the last drop. Runoff from clogged gutters spills down the siding and onto the glass below, which is how the grime gets there. Storm and wind seasons, the summer thunderstorms and derechos that move through across Maryland, can shift the timing of either visit.
Under heavy tree cover over the roof, we see customers on a third visit, since debris packs the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and houses near a busy road or active construction need a third pass as well. Professional window cleaning on those schedules keeps the glass from dulling and the curb appeal from slipping between visits. Pick the cleaning services that fit your tree cover and sprinkler layout when you call.
Our crew knows that the haze you only see when the sun is low means the windows need it, and that water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in the rain means it needs clearing. The windows inside are not part of this visit, so the haze we clear is the outside.
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 the gutters and downspouts and the exterior of every residential window in one visit, so the booking is a single call or text. Give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we return one estimate for the window cleaning services and the gutter work. Typical lead time is set by the calendar, and our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year when the leaves are heaviest. The goal is clean windows and clear gutters on the same day.
We call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside. Residential properties across Aspen Hill get the same routine: gutters first, glass last, photos of each run before the truck leaves.
To schedule service, book a date by phone at (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. We will confirm the slot and the approximate time window in writing.
Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so nothing that falls off the roof lands on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details, and the number we give is the number on the invoice. For multi-story buildings, send the stories and a photo, since the height changes the setup.
On our jobs, the outside carries the film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up on the exterior, so cleaning only the inside leaves the haze in place, and no inside wipe will remove dirt that sits on the outside.
Our Aspen Hill customers usually book in the spring and fall windows, so the calendar is busiest then. Book early by calling (866) 435-6328 if you want a slot in those months.
No, we clean gutters first and the glass last. The leaves, the grit and the black water come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the glass waits until the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the exterior visit as the crew reaches them.
We clean the exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing here, and we say so before the crew arrives.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in one of the condos on a shared roof, check with your association first about who owns the gutters and the outside of the glass.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
