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 booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Maryland, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and we keep the same crew for both.
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 booking the gutters and the glass together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job rather than extras.
On our jobs, the quote moves for reasons the crew sees on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add time on the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before water runs clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate job, since cleaning solutions alone will not remove it.
Here is how we get the exact number for your house. Text us a photo of the front of the house, tell us the stories, and give us a rough count of the windows, and we will quote it from those. If you have more questions about pricing or other services, you can also call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and window count in hand. For multi-story buildings we service on a schedule, we bill per building, and the crew confirms the scope before the first visit. We handle residential and commercial jobs alike, interior and exterior work is quoted on its own, and our regular cleanings are scheduled around the season so the gutters and the picture windows get done in the same trip.

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 East Riverdale customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew visiting in one trip makes sense. The timing follows the calendar of what the house actually collects.
Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the sticky residue packs the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs and the grit that washes onto the sills. Storm and wind seasons can move both visits by a few weeks, so we set the date when the house needs it, not on a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between cleanings, and it is common to see clogged gutters and downspouts again within a few months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more runoff and dirt on the glass, and the gutter outlets carry more grime. Cleaning services on those houses are the same professional window cleaning, just on a shorter schedule.
The signs tell you when to book. Haze on the glass that only shows up when the sun is low means the windows are due. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter during rain means the runs are full and need clearing, and that water damage at the fascia is the next thing to watch.
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 have done window and gutter cleaning across the East Riverdale area, and our crew knows the houses here, from the older lots to the newer ones, and the condos. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm a date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Lead time depends on the calendar, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, when our schedule fills first. Book early in those windows if you want a set date. Outside those windows, we can usually fit a visit in with a short notice.
Our residential window cleaning and gutter work covers residential properties of all sizes, and the crew cleans clean windows and every window on the outside of the house. For multi-story homes, the crew sets the lift and the ladders to reach the upper panes safely. We also check the sill and the frames on each pane, and the crew uses a soft brush to remove dirt before the rinse, so you can schedule service once and be done. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front to get started.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both, gutters first and glass last, and our window cleaning services book as one visit. Doing the gutters before the windows keeps the runoff off the clean glass.
We give the number on the phone or by text, from the stories and the size of the house. We do not quote a figure without those details, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
On the houses we see here, the outside carries the film from trees, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those build up even when the inside is clean. Exterior cleaning is the part that changes the curb appeal of the house from the street.
Most of our East Riverdale customers book in spring and fall, which lines up with the leaf drop and the spring build-up on the glass. Outside those windows the calendar opens up, so call (866) 435-6328 to get a date.
No, we do the gutters first and the glass last. When the runs are cleared first, the leaves and grit that come down the wall have already gone, and nobody has to rewash the windows.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of our washing services and not billed as extras. We rinse the screens, wipe the sills and clean the tracks as we go.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Cleaning the windows inside is not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing, so the scope stays on the outside of the house.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
