Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, and we always do the gutters first and the glass last. We price the job by the number of stories, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across Maryland, most of the homes we clean are booked for the spring and fall visits, and we work the same way on every one of them.
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 window washing 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 on the phone is the number on the invoice, for window washing and gutters alike. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before the water runs. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, and we will tell you about it before we treat it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Professional window cleaning on the outside is the scope of this quote, and windows inside stay out of it.
Across Maryland, the most common reason a quote changes is a gutter that has gone too long between cleanings, because the clogged gutters are where water damage starts. Our crew photographs each run before and after so you can see the difference, and a clean roofline does a lot for curb appeal. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what to expect before we arrive.

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.
Across Maryland, most of our customers book both services twice a year, with spring visits in mid to late May and fall visits from November to early December. Regular cleanings on that rhythm keep the gutters and glass from building up, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for this schedule. At each visit we look for the pollen film on the south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters, and we look for the leaf load that builds up in the fall. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we confirm the schedule with you before we book. Each visit covers the full set of cleaning services on the house, gutters and glass together.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or a construction site all leave more debris between visits. The spots from a sprinkler line are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and we flag them on the first visit so you know what you are looking at. Our residential properties are cleaned on the same calendar, so it is easy to schedule service for the whole house at once, and every window on the house is done in the same visit.
You will see the need for a residential window cleaning when the glass has a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will see the need for a gutter cleaning when water sheets over the edge of the gutter during rain. If you see either, it is time to put clean windows and clear gutters back on the schedule. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a date.
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 book our washing services for the glass and gutter cleaning on the same calendar, and the crew travels to Glassmanor from our Maryland base. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season and the day we have open. In the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, our calendar fills, so the earlier you call the more likely we can fit you in.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and calls before we come. We remove dirt and grime from the glass and the gutters and downspouts, and we flush the runoff path so water leaves the house cleanly. We clean residential and commercial buildings the same way, including condos and multi-story buildings, with the same crew and the same photos of every run. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date or ask for a written estimate.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder. We do gutters first and glass last so the dirty water does not land on clean glass.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate before we book.
Yes, because the outside carries the dust, the rain film and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Picture windows show that haze the most, and cleaning the inside will not remove any of it.
Across Maryland, most of our customers book in spring and in fall. Spring is after the cold months and fall is after the leaves come down, and we confirm the exact timing when we talk.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When we clear a run, the leaves and grit come down the wall, 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 the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the visit, and we will note anything we cannot reach safely.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and we do not clean interior windows or do pressure washing, so those are not part of this job. If you want to know which cleaning solutions touch your plants or siding, ask before we start.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
