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 the gutters and the glass together in the spring and the fall, when the pollen and the leaves are doing the most damage.
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 the bundle of both cleanings done 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. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will work out the quote from what we can see.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. A high window count, or oversized panes, adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more work before the flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with regular cleanings. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras. The crew brings its own cleaning solutions, and we quote the exterior only, so interior and exterior work is never folded into one number.
When a house has two stories plus a finished walkout, a high back run that needs a boom or scissor lift, or a large picture windows area on the south side, the quote reflects that. That is the kind of detail that changes the number, and it is why we measure before we quote. Film on the south-facing glass and sticky paste in the gutters is part of what we look for on every visit, and the same goes for the residential and commercial jobs we run in the area. We will tell you what we find, and what it means for the number, before we start.
| 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 customers in Carney book both twice a year, in late spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Spring brings the pollen film on the glass and a sticky paste in the gutters, and across Maryland the spring visit usually lands in mid to late May. Fall brings the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs through the winter, and the fall visit runs late November to December. Storm season across Maryland, with summer thunderstorms and derechos, can move those dates, so we confirm the window with you on the phone.
Heavy tree cover over the roof usually means a third visit, because needles and grit leave clogged gutters faster than the seasons do. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is the other common reason: the spots come back a day after cleaning, and only a mineral treatment deals with them. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames and sills, and that brings it back sooner too. Multi-story buildings take longer at the glass, so a three-story house is booked as a longer visit. Houses with few or no trees, and no sprinkler spotting, are usually fine with one visit a year in late fall. Booking window cleaners and a gutter crew separately doubles the trips, which is why we do both in one visit.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low, grime that rain does not wash off, or water spots that look like they came from the windows inside. Gutters tell you too, usually by water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout. Water damage often starts right there, at the fascia and the sill below. If you see either sign, call us and we will look at it before the next season.
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.
Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. We will give you a price from those details and set a date that works. We call before we come, so you are never surprised by a truck in the driveway, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and that is when our calendar fills first. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Outside of them, the lead time is shorter, and we will tell you the exact figure when you call.
We clean the exterior of residential properties, condos included, and residential window and gutter cleaning is what we schedule for the whole house in one visit. Our cleaning services cover every window in the same pass, from the sill to the top of the frame, so you get professional window cleaning from one crew and one setup. Clean windows and clear gutters on the same day add to curb appeal, with one truck and one bill. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, cleaning the gutters and downspouts first and the glass after, so you deal with one company from start to finish.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front, and we will give you a written estimate by phone.
In Carney the outside carries most of the grime: rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the glass and frames faster than the inside does. Cleaning the outside helps remove dirt before it reaches the frames.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and in the fall. Spring clears off the winter dust, and fall clears the leaves before the cold sets in.
No, we work gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, the grit and the runoff under them can run down the wall and across the windows below, so the glass waits until the gutters are done and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, and sills are wiped as part of our washing services, with no separate charge. We clean every window in the same pass, and the sills get done with it.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
