Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs down clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew handles this work across Maryland, and most Bel Air North customers book spring and fall visits for their curb appeal. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
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, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Several things move the quote on the day: a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Houses with a third story are priced the way multi-story buildings are, with the lift and the extra time on the glass built into the number. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Bel Air North jobs the pattern is consistent: the houses that cost more are the ones where the crew cannot reach the top run from the ground and where a sprinkler line keeps hitting the glass. One customer on a two-story house had clogged gutters running over the front porch and a sprinkler head spraying the lower windows every evening. The quote moved up for the boom or scissor lift and the extra hour on the glass. The crew flushed the downspouts until they ran clear, wiped the grime off the sills, and cleaned every window it could reach from the ground or the pole. Left alone, gutters like that send water into the fascia, which is the water damage the first pass is meant to stop. To get your exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has. We will come back with the figure before anyone sets a ladder.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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.
Across Maryland, most of our customers book both services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. What we find on the glass in spring is the pollen film on south-facing panes, and the pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In late fall the leaf load is what fills the runs, and the wet mat is the one that sags hangers under the first ice. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we book from the weather and the house, not the calendar alone. Houses under heavy tree cover, with the crown of a large tree over the roof, need a third visit because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses also need the third visit. A home on a busy road or near construction picks up a fine dust film that regular cleanings twice a year do not keep up with. The sign that clean windows need attention is haze you only notice when the sun sits low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in the rain, and a run that sheets like that is how water damage starts at 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.
Our crew has cleaned gutters and exterior glass on houses in Bel Air North, and we keep the calendar tight so the busy weeks do not stretch the wait for everyone. Booking starts with a call or a text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window with an estimate before the crew is scheduled. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the same number. The two windows of the year that fill our calendar are the spring season and the late-fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months gets you a slot sooner. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not enter the house. Our work covers the roofline, the gutters and downspouts, the exterior glass and sills, and the runoff path down to the grade. We remove dirt and debris from the gutters rather than just pushing it along, and we clean the glass in the same pass. Our crew uses purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass, so nothing is left behind to streak, and grime on the sills gets wiped on every visit. Professional window cleaning is booked on the same call as the gutters, so there is one quote and one visit. The crew handles residential window cleaning services on residential properties, meaning single family homes, and the washing services a house needs when the glass and the gutters are dirty at the same time. Condos and attached homes are on the same schedule as detached houses, and we set the visit around the building access rules before we arrive.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the runs never reaches clean panes.
We give the number on the phone or by text from the stories and the approximate window count, and a residential and commercial mix is quoted on the call, not from this page. The figure you hear is the figure on the invoice, and there are no surprise add-ons for downspout flushing or screens.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the problem here. Dust, rain and sprinkler spots build on the exterior, and a clean inside does not stop them from hazing the glass when the sun is low.
Most of our Bel Air North customers book in late spring, once the spring dust has settled, and again in late fall after the leaves come down. Booking in those windows keeps the calendar from filling up before you can get a slot.
No. We clear the gutters, flush every downspout, and give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches a window. That order is the reason we do both jobs in one visit.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the exterior side. None of those are billed as separate extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house, and this price does not cover interior and exterior glass together. We also do not pressure wash, so the outside of the windows and the gutters are the whole job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
