Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and two jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Brandywine jobs, most customers book both in the spring and the fall, when leaves and grit build up the most.
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 quote gutter and window cleaning 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 you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
The things that move the quote show up on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized panes, gutters packed with needles and leaves after a season without cleaning, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes. Heavy pollen in the gutters adds time to the job, and the crew notes it before they start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The cleaning solutions, purified water and ladder setup are included in the quote.
Here is how we get you an exact number. Text us a photo of the front of the house, tell us the stories, and give us a rough count of windows, including any picture windows over the garage or entry. Our crew confirms it before the visit so nothing changes at the door. Most jobs we see come in close to the phone quote, and when the crew finds something different, they call before they do the extra work. We keep the window and gutter cleaning side of the estimate separate so you can see what each part costs, and we point out where the two share one ladder setup.
What we do not do on this visit is interior glass. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs with different tools, and we do not do the inside here. Regular cleanings keep the outside from building up, so the next visit is quicker and the price stays steady.
| 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.
On our Brandywine jobs, most customers book our cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing professional window cleaning and gutter work in one visit makes sense. Across Maryland the spring pollen and the fall leaf drop set the timing, and summer thunderstorms and derechos move the dates.
In spring we find a yellow film on south-facing glass and a paste of tree dust packed into the gutters. In fall it is the wet leaf mat and the grit that settles on the sills. Heavy tree cover over the roof means more frequent visits, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass need more ladder time, so they are booked as a longer visit. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses often need a third visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film faster than one that sits back from traffic.
Gutters need a visit when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout, and windows need one when you see a haze only when the sun is low. Clogged gutters are the usual reason water sheets over the edge, and water damage at the fascia starts when it keeps happening. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so a haze inside is a separate job. Clean glass and gutters also keep your curb appeal up from the street. Both show up on the house before they show up on a schedule, so a quick look from the yard is a good reason to call.
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 gutters and exterior windows across Maryland, and our crew works Brandywine on a regular schedule. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the roofline with the number of stories, and we give you an estimate by phone or text that day. The quote covers the gutter and window cleaning in one visit for residential properties and the commercial buildings we service.
Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year fill first. Residential and commercial jobs share the same calendar, so ask early for the date you want. If you want a specific date in the spring or fall, ask for it at the start of the call so we can hold a slot. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every run and every window once the crew is done.
When you book, tell us about any sills or screens you want included, any picture windows that are hard to reach, and whether the gutter guards are on. We schedule service around those details so the crew arrives with the right ladders and the right time. Every window we clean is cleaned from outside, and each residential window gets a sill check before the crew moves to the next.
Yes, our crew does both in one visit, since our window cleaning services and gutter work share one ladder setup. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the runoff from the gutters never lands on clean windows.
The price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. Text a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will send the number back. Condos are priced the same way.
Yes, because the outside takes most of the damage here, from tree dust, rain grime and sprinkler spots. The inside can look clean while the outside still hazes in low sun.
Our customers here book in the spring and the fall, the two times the pollen and leaves build up. Across Maryland the same pattern holds, and storms can move the dates.
No, because we clean gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. When the gutters go second, the runoff and the grit wash down the wall onto windows that were already done.
Screens and sills are part of the job, and we rinse and wipe them to remove dirt on each visit. Tracks can be included when they are reachable from outside.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit and do not do the inside. Pressure washing falls under our other washing services, and it is not part of this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway, 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.
