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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Maryland, most of our customers book this combined job in the spring and again in 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.
Our washing services are priced 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 we charge.
Four things move a quote on our jobs. Stories and steep roofs decide how the crew gets to the gutters and the upper glass. Window count and picture windows change the time on the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, since no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Maryland, the houses we see most often need the same thing: a few stories of window washing, plus gutters and downspouts that have collected a season of runoff. For condos, send the building's stories and a rough window count, and we quote from those. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the number before anyone books a date. Nobody has to guess at what the crew will find on the day.

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 regular cleanings for gutters and windows twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them.
In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing panes and pollen paste packed into the gutters. Clearing both on the same visit keeps the house's curb appeal intact and stops the paste from washing onto the sills. In fall the work shifts to the leaf load, and clogged gutters hold a wet mat of leaves and grit that comes down with the next rain. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed calendar, and each visit is planned to remove dirt before the next rain sets it.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into gutters and downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than a quiet street. Those are the houses where our crew suggests a third visit, and regular cleanings can cover the gutters and the glass together.
Watch for the signs. Haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low means the windows are due. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in a rain means the runs are full or sloped wrong, and left alone that can lead to water damage at the fascia. Either one is a reason to call before the next storm.
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 cleans gutters and exterior windows across Bensville, and professional window cleaning starts with an estimate by phone or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you what our window cleaning services will cover on the visit. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text that photo. Lead time depends on the season and the calendar, so we confirm the first open date when we give the estimate rather than promising a day in advance.
The busy stretches are the spring and fall windows, when the spring film and the fall leaf load both peak and many houses book at once. Booking early in those stretches gives you more choice of date. Outside those windows the calendar opens up quickly. Whatever the season, we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside. We handle residential and commercial jobs alike. For residential properties and multi-story buildings we schedule by the building, so the visit fits the access you have. Ask us about the scope on the phone and we will explain what we can and cannot cover, including every window on the outside.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, with the same two people doing both. We clean the gutters first and the windows last so that the dirty runoff does not land on clean glass.
We do not quote a figure on the web because the number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the front by text, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the price before you book.
For a residential window, the outside carries most of the grime. Rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass, and cleaning the inside does not remove them. Regular cleanings keep clean windows on the outside between visits.
Most of our customers book in the spring and again in the fall. Across Maryland, spring visits run from mid to late May, when the film and paste have built up, and fall visits run from November to early December, after the leaves come down. To schedule service, ask us for the first open date when you call.
Not on our jobs. We clean the gutters first, flush the downspouts, give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the windows. That order keeps the runoff off the glass so it is cleaned once.
The crew brings its own cleaning solutions, so screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the exterior work where they can be reached from outside. There are no extra line items for these on the invoice.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only, so the windows inside the house stay as they are. We do not bundle interior and exterior glass on one visit, and we do not do pressure washing.
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 ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. The crew sends photos of every run and the finished glass before it leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
