Yes, the same two people clean the 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 together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Maryland, most of our customers book it in the spring and the fall, and we keep the same order on every house.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Window washing quotes start from the stories and the window count, so have both ready when you call.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the number. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A high window count, or large picture windows, adds glass to wipe. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone does not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Professional window cleaning on a house with a lot of glass is mostly a matter of planning the route, so we want an exact count before we arrive. Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories, and we will give you the number on the phone. Compare our quote with other window cleaners by the stories and the window count, since that is what we price. Clogged gutters that have sat for a season can also carry water damage up behind the fascia, which the crew photographs and reports if it sees it. Curb appeal depends on the whole front of the house, so we treat the gutters and the glass as one job. We clean exterior glass only on this visit. Windows inside are not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing.
| 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 Calverton customers book our cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Maryland the pattern is the same, but the dates move with the weather and the storm season.
In the spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. In the fall, the leaf load arrives and the wet mat sits in the runs until it is cleared. Storms and high winds can move both visits earlier or later, so we confirm the date on the phone with you before we book. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction usually needs a third visit, because the grime and the spots come back between cleanings and the crew has to remove dirt from the frames again.
Residential properties with regular cleanings keep their gutters and downspouts clear, and that keeps runoff from sheeting over the edge in a storm. Every residential window on the house, including the sill, gets the same treatment on the visit. Clean windows show the difference fastest on the sill, so we wipe it on every window. You will see haze on the glass when the sun is low, which tells you the windows need a visit. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in the rain tells you the gutters need one.
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 window cleaning services cover Calverton and the surrounding parts of the county. Booking for our washing services 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 count and the date. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the first open slot when you call.
The two busy windows are the spring and the fall, when the pollen and the leaves arrive, and our calendar fills fast in those weeks. We call before we come, so you know when the truck is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
We handle residential and commercial sites, including office buildings, restaurants and condos with several entrances. Multi-story buildings and condos take more planning than a single house, so we price those per building after a walk of the site. Schedule service early in the season if you have a lot of glass, because the earliest dates go quickly.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We clear the gutters first and then clean the glass, so nothing falls back onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front, and we give you the price before we book.
Yes. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside, and that is where we work. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior glass.
Across Maryland, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late May and the fall visit in November to early December. Most of our Calverton customers book one of those two windows. If you want the first open date, ask us when you call.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When the runs are cleared and flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Cleaning solutions for hard-water spots are a separate treatment, quoted after the crew sees the glass. Tracks are included on the visit, and we tell you in advance if anything needs more time.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Text the number to (866) 435-6328 when you have a date in mind.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
