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 both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Our crew has booked this bundle across Maryland every spring and fall, and it is the job we are on most often in those seasons.
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 a window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and it does not change once the crew is on site.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on a boom or scissor lift and more care on the ladder. Window count and oversized picture windows change how many passes the glass needs. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles, seeds and leaves, take longer to empty and flush, and regular cleanings keep each run lighter so it goes faster. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line sits in the glass in a way no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We clean the glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so that is included too.
On one Edgewood job, the house had two stories, a back run that sat over a patio, and a row of picture windows along the south wall where pollen had dried into a film. The quote moved because the crew had to flush three downspouts that were blocked at the elbow and rinse the screens before the glass could be done. Your number will come from your own house, not from anyone else's, so the fastest way to get it is a photo of the front of the house sent by text along with your story count and a rough window count.
We price residential and commercial buildings by the same rule, the number of stories plus the window count. Interior and exterior glass are not quoted as one job here: this visit covers the exterior only, and interior glass is not part of it. Tell us the building and what it has in the gutters, and we will give you one number for the whole job. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the building for a written estimate.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

| 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 Edgewood customers book our cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on a regular schedule. Across Maryland, our spring visit runs mid to late May, and the fall visit runs late October to November. The cleanings follow the seasons, not a fixed calendar.
In spring we find pollen as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste packed into the gutters, and seeds plug the downspout elbows, which is how clogged gutters start. In fall the work is the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs and the grit that the runoff carries onto the sills. Storm and wind seasons move the dates from one year to the next, and across Maryland summer thunderstorms and derechos are the reason we sometimes book a short follow-up visit after a bad blow.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction usually needs a third visit each year. Those are the cases where the grime comes back fastest and where the spots return a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings in the same situation take longer, because the crew works from a lift or a longer ladder. On a home with few or no trees, a single late fall visit is often enough.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. Gutters tell you the same way, with water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout. That is runoff going where it should not, and it is the first step toward water damage at the fascia. Clean glass and clear gutters are most of the curb appeal a house shows from the street, so when you see either one, that is the time 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.
Our crew cleans the outside of residential properties across Edgewood, and we book our window cleaning services on a rolling schedule through the year. The estimate starts with a call or a text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm a slot. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows, spring pollen season and fall leaf season, are when our calendar fills fastest. Book early in those months and you will get the date you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we keep the crew outside the house. For a standard residential window job, every window on the outside gets cleaned and the sills get wiped, so you do not need to tell us which panes matter. Professional window cleaning on a commercial building means we schedule the visit around the business hours you name and confirm the lift access before the day.
If you want clean windows and clear gutters without booking two different companies, window and gutter cleaning comes as one visit that covers both. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or text a photo of the roofline and we will reply with a date.
Yes. Our washing services are one visit: the same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows, and they do the gutters first. That is why you get one crew and one bill for the job.
We do not quote a range on the page because the number depends on your stories, the size of the house and what is in the gutters. Condos are priced the same way, by stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you one number over the phone.
On our Edgewood jobs the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the exterior glass first. Cleaning the outside alone is enough to remove dirt from the glass, and it leaves the windows inside as you keep them.
Across Maryland, the spring visit runs mid to late May, and the fall visit runs late October to November. Those are also our busiest months, so book early.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water under them come down the wall, so the glass waits until the runs are done and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the standard exterior visit, and we flag anything heavier before the crew starts.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, so interior and exterior glass are never one job here. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing, so the work stays on the outside of the house.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
