Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the dirty water from the roof never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Maryland, most of our customers book it in the spring and the fall, and that is when our crew does the most visits. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote before the truck is booked.
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. Booking gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than booking two separate cleanings, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our window cleaning services follow that same quote, higher stories included.
On the day, the crew finds a handful of things that move the quote. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder, and so does a roof too steep to walk. Clogged gutters, the kind not opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before they run clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are priced in at the visit. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one thing no cleaning removes, and we say so before the crew starts. Every run of gutters and downspouts is cleared, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Pollen film and grit come off with pure water, and cleaning solutions go on only where the glass needs them.
Our Glenn Dale work includes a window and gutter job on a two-story house where the back run is high and the windows are mostly picture windows. The crew measured the stories and counted the glass on the phone, and the quote on the invoice matched the number we gave. Every quote starts from the same questions: how many stories, roughly how many windows, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Send those and we give you the number before the truck is booked, and the same questions come up for regular cleanings on the same house. This visit covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is quoted separately, and the same steps apply to residential and commercial buildings.
| 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.
On our Glenn Dale jobs, most customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Our cleaning services run on that same two-visit pattern. Whether you book professional window cleaning or gutter work alone, the first question is the date, and across Maryland the spring visit lands in mid to late May. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and grit packs the elbows of the downspouts. Fall is when the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the gutters into winter. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, and we call before we come. Ask us about the calendar when you compare window cleaners, because the dates matter as much as the price.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings are often on that list. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters packed between visits, and regular cleanings catch them before any water damage starts. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate look. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the rest of the street. Our crew looks at those three things at the first visit and tells you what the house needs.
Two examples from our Glenn Dale calendar show the spread. One customer with no trees over the roof books once a year in the fall and is done. Another, with trees on two sides and a sprinkler line on the front windows, is on three or four visits a year. The gutter report from each visit names the runs that were packed and the downspouts that were flushed. You will know the schedule from the first photos.
Glass that has gone hazy costs a house its curb appeal, and the sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. Windows inside are not part of this visit, so a haze on that side needs its own cleaning. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If you see either one between visits, text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which one it is.
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 and gutter cleaning crew works across Glenn Dale, and the job is the same on every house we visit. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate: the number of stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the house front. From there we set a date, and to book, call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the open window when you call. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring visit in mid to late May and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months gets you a slot.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know when to expect us. Clean windows and clear gutters and downspouts both depend on the crew reaching every window and every run, so we ask about tree cover and fences at the estimate. The crew uses purified water to remove dirt from every pane. A residential window job is the same visit as the gutter run, which is why the bundle works for residential properties. If the house is a townhouse or one of the condos on the block, tell us at the estimate so we can plan access. Our crew will schedule service around your calendar, and every window gets the same care whether it sits at ground level or on the top floor.
Once you book, we confirm the day and the window of arrival. The crew arrives with the boom or scissor lift for any run that is out of reach from the ground. Every sill on the house gets wiped, and the report with photos of each run is sent before the truck leaves.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter work are one visit, and the same two people clean the gutters first and then the outside of the windows. Gutters go first so the water and grit from the roof never land on the glass.
Pricing for our washing services depends on the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we give the number by phone or text. Send those two details and a photo of the front of the house, and the quote follows.
In Glenn Dale the outside carries tree dust, rain grit and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. The glass looks hazy from the street even when the inside is clean, and that haze is the grime we remove.
Across Maryland, the spring visit lands in mid to late May, before the pollen settles. In Glenn Dale the fall visit runs November to early December, after the leaves drop, and booking early gets you a slot for our cleaning services.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the runoff from the roof lands on it and someone has to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, including on condos. They are not billed as extras.
We do not clean the windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. The job is exterior glass only, and the crew uses purified water to remove dirt from it without coming inside.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
