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 the debris from the roof never lands on panes we have already washed. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. On our Baltimore jobs most customers book both in the spring and the 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.
We price window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking the gutters and the exterior windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we confirm it in writing before the crew is scheduled.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same every time: a third story or a roof too steep to walk the ridge on, a large number of oversized panes such as picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with leaves and needles, which means clogged gutters that need hand clearing from the ladder, 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. Windows inside are not part of this price.
Here is what it looks like when a customer gets an exact number. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house, tell us the stories, and give a rough count of windows. A window cleaner in Baltimore who sees the building before the visit can tell you whether the glass has professional window cleaning needs, such as hard-water spotting, or whether it is ordinary dust and grime. Our crew has seen curb appeal drop on houses where the gutters were clogged and the runoff had stained the brick below, and in those cases the fix is the same visit. If water damage is already showing behind the fascia, we photograph it and tell you so; we do not sell the repair.

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 Baltimore jobs most customers book regular cleanings for both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
Across Maryland the spring visit falls in mid to late May, when clean windows from the fall have had a winter of dust and snow on them. In the spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters. In the fall it is the leaf load and the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs, and the fall visit usually lands late November to December. Across Maryland, summer thunderstorms and derechos move the dates a few weeks in either direction.
Some houses need a third visit from our cleaning services crew. We see it most with heavy tree cover over the roof, with a sprinkler line that hits the glass, and with a house close to a busy road or active construction. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning.
You will know it is time to clean when you can see a haze on every window with the sun low in the sky. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Baltimore averages 43.7 inches of rain a year, and July, August and September are the wettest months, so the gutters fill fastest in late summer.
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.
Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will tell you what the job looks like. Our window cleaning services start with that estimate, and lead times depend on the season. The two busy windows of the year fill the calendar first, so book early if you want a spring or fall slot. We call before we come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work on a residential window. Our crew does not come inside and sends photos of the finished runs and glass before the truck leaves.
Our washing services cover gutters and downspouts on residential properties, and our crew handles the runoff from roofs of every size on residential and commercial buildings. Most jobs are a single visit, with a few condos and multi-story buildings needing a second pass to remove dirt and grime from the lower glass. We do not clean interior glass on this visit.
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 from the roof lands on glass we have already washed.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and you get it by phone or text before anything is booked.
Usually the outside is where the damage shows first. In Baltimore the rain dust builds up on exterior glass and dulls the frames, and sprinkler spots stay even when the inside is clean.
Most of our Baltimore customers book their cleanings in the spring and in the fall. Those are the seasons when the calendar fills first, so book early.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When the runs are cleared and flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior job, and you can ask us about the cleaning solutions we use on the frames. We do not bill them as extras.
Some companies quote interior and exterior glass together. We do the exterior only on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, 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.
