Yes, the same two window cleaners clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Bel Air South jobs, most customers book this in spring and fall, when the pollen and leaf load are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule.
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 professional window cleaning booked with the gutter work 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 to find on the invoice later.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift for the upper runs. Window count matters, and so do picture windows and other oversized panes that take two people to handle safely. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove, and we say so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our Bel Air South customers often ask what drives the number up the most. Here is one from our own jobs. A home with a steep roof, gutters full of grit and window washing needed on every floor came in higher than a flat, single-story house with the same window count, because the crew needed a lift and twice the time on the gutters. Clogged gutters that sat through a season are also the usual source of water damage we see on fascia and siding, and clearing them early keeps that repair off the bill. Clean gutters and glass also help the curb appeal of the house, which is what neighbors see first. For a number you can trust, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has, and we will quote from there. Our crew does not do interior glass on this visit, so windows inside stay out of the quote.
| 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.
Most of our Bel Air South customers book both cleaning services twice a year, in late spring and again in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Spring brings the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. Fall brings the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we see gutter runs sagging under winter ice by March. Storm season moves the dates some years, and we adjust the calendar to match. Regular cleanings like these keep the schedule predictable for the house.
Some residential properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or active construction picks up grime faster than the rest of the street, and the residential window on the road side hazes first. On these properties we suggest a mid-summer check, not a full visit.
Every window tells you when it needs it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and smears that show up on cloudy days. Gutters tell you the same way, with water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout. When you see either one, clean windows and clear gutters are due, and that is the time to schedule service.
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 houses across Bel Air South. We offer window cleaning services and gutter washing services, and you book by calling (866) 435-6328 or by text, with the number of stories and a photo of the house front as the starting point. Lead time depends on the season, so ask us for the next open slot when you call. The two busy windows are spring and fall, when pollen and leaves bring in the most calls, and those weeks fill faster. Booking early in the slow months gets you a date that suits you.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we arrive so you know when to expect us. We also handle the gutters and downspouts on multi-story buildings, small commercial buildings and condos as scheduled work, billed per building. Our gutter cleaning reaches the roofline, the fascia and the runoff path to the ground, so the water leaves the house instead of soaking the foundation. We clear debris, not just what is visible from the lawn, and we remove dirt from the downspouts the same day.
Yes. We serve residential and commercial customers, and the same two people do both on one visit. We start with the gutters so that dirty runoff does not hit clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text before any work begins.
On our jobs, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between cleanings, so the glass looks hazy even when the inside is clean. Picture windows show it most.
Most of our customers here book regular cleanings in late spring and again in late fall, right after the pollen and leaf drop.
No. We clear the gutters, flush the downspouts and let the wall drip before anyone touches the windows, so nothing runs down onto every window in the job.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job, not billed separately.
This visit covers the outside of the glass only, not interior and exterior work in one job. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so the glass dries without residue, and pressure washing is not part of this service.
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 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.
