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 together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work for homeowners across Maryland, and most of our Catonsville customers book it for the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up fastest.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, counting every window on the house, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Window washing and gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. Our quote is built the same way for every house, so customers comparing window cleaners get a number they can check. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of your house, and we will give you a written estimate from those details.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder and more care on the gutters. A large window count, or picture windows and other oversized panes, changes the time spent on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more work to get the water flowing again. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate case, because cleaning will not remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
One Catonsville customer had two stories, a large front window count and clogged gutters from a season of tree debris. Once the crew saw the back run and the downspouts, the quote came in higher than the front-of-house photo suggested, and that was the reason. Professional window cleaning starts the same way every time: we photograph the house, measure the stories and count the windows, then quote from those. Once the photos are in, we can tell you what the job will take.
Gutters that have been left too long can also cause water damage to the fascia and the wall below. We photograph it and report it, but we do not sell repairs. What we do on the day is clean the run, flush the downspouts and show you where water is getting behind the fascia, so you can decide what to do next.
| 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 Catonsville customers book regular cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why bundling both cleaning services into one visit makes sense for the calendar. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the sticky paste packs the downspout elbows. Fall is when the leaf load arrives and the wet mat builds in the gutters before winter. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we schedule service with you rather than by a fixed calendar.
On a typical visit we are looking at the film on the glass and the paste in the gutters, along with the leaf load that builds up after the trees turn. On residential properties, heavy tree cover over the roof usually means a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another reason for extra visits, since the spots it leaves on a residential window come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction can also collect dust faster than the glass alone would suggest.
One customer with no trees over the roof books twice a year and has not needed anything more. Another, with heavy shade and a sprinkler line on the front windows, is on three or four visits a year, and we adjust the schedule once we see what the glass carries. Both are decided after the first visit, not before.
Clean windows should look clear in low sun. If a haze shows up only when the sun is low, the windows need attention. Clear gutters and clean glass do a lot for curb appeal in spring, when the haze shows. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running down the downspouts.
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 and washing services cover homes in the Catonsville area, and the neighborhoods we have worked in are listed on our booking page. Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with a written estimate. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, are when our calendar fills fastest. Book early in those months and you will get the slot you want. The same photo-first quote works for houses and condos.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we arrive, and we work from the outside of the house. Our crew uses a water-fed pole and purified water, which lets the glass dry without spotting. The gutters are cleared and flushed, and the downspouts are checked so that water runs out to the ground, not behind the fascia.
The same crew handles residential and commercial jobs, multi-story buildings included, and the gutters and downspouts are scheduled to match the site. If a property has heavy grime from runoff or needs a clean that goes beyond the glass, we will tell you what the job will take before we start. Our crew can remove dirt from the frames and sills and clear the runoff that streaks the walls below.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and debris from the gutters do not run down onto clean windows.
We do not give a figure here. The number comes from your stories and window count, and we quote it by phone or text.
Dirt on interior and exterior glass comes from different places. On our jobs, the outside carries most of the tree dust, rain film and sprinkler spots that make glass look hazy, even when the inside is clean.
Most of our Catonsville customers book in spring and fall, which are the two times the pollen and leaf load build up.
No, gutters first and glass last is the reason. If the glass were washed first, the gutter debris would splash across it.
Screens are rinsed with water, not cleaning solutions, each sill is wiped, and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior job. They are not billed separately.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
