The same two people who clean your gutters clean 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. On our Hagerstown jobs, most customers book the spring and fall visits, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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 quote from stories and window count, and both jobs done in one visit come in below booking them separately. The method is the same for a residential and commercial building, and the quote covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is a separate booking. Cleaning solutions for hard-water spots are a separate treatment, quoted after the crew sees the glass. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the number before we schedule. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized picture windows that take more time per pane, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves after a season without service, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Hagerstown house the usual cause of a higher quote is a long run of gutter that has not been opened in years. We clear it, flush it, and photograph each run before we leave. For the window side we count every window on the outside only and ask about any spotting from sprinklers. Ask us for a written estimate once you have the stories and window count; we will put the scope in writing. Customers on regular cleanings get the same quote method each visit, so the cleanings you book match what we quoted.
| 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.
Across Maryland, the people who book both jobs usually do it twice a year, once in the spring after the trees bloom and once in the fall after the leaves are down. On our Hagerstown jobs the same pattern holds, and a professional window cleaning in one visit makes sense for most homes that want curb appeal.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that settles into the runs and the grit that washes down the wall below. Clogged gutters that overflow send water down the wall, and that is where water damage starts. Storm season across Maryland, with summer thunderstorms and derechos, can shift the dates, so we book from what we see on the house rather than the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster than a quiet street. Multi-story buildings take more time per window and more setup. Those are the ones we tell to plan for three or four visits a year, and multi-story buildings usually fall in that group.
Windows tell you they need cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low. Gutters tell you when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Haze on the windows inside the house is not part of this visit, but dust on the outside glass is. If either happens between visits, call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at it.
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 handle window and gutter cleaning on residential properties across the city, and we fit a bundled residential window job into the route as the calendar allows. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate using your number of stories and a photo of the house front. From there we set a date and confirm it with a call before the crew comes, so nobody has to wait around for a truck that was never coming.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew stays outside, works from the ground, a ladder, or a boom or scissor lift where the house requires it, and sends photos of every gutter run and of every window after it is clean, before they leave. Clean windows and clear gutters are the two results you should see when the crew drives away.
The two busy periods of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, when our calendar fills fastest. Booking early in those windows gets a slot that suits you. Outside those windows, schedule service with a single phone call and we will tell you the next open day.
Yes. Our washing services cover both: the same two people clean the gutters first and then the outside of the windows, in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so the dirty water does not run back across clean panes.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text before you book. Call (866) 435-6328 with those two numbers.
Usually the outside is where the grime lives here: rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior of the glass. Cleaning the inside alone leaves all of that in place. Clean windows on the outside are the first thing a visitor sees from the street.
Most of our Hagerstown customers book in late spring after the spring bloom and again in late fall after the leaves come down. Book earlier if you have heavy tree cover, since those houses fill our calendar first.
Not on our jobs, because we do the gutters and downspouts before the glass. Leaves, grit, and black runoff come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the glass is washed last, after the downspouts are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens, sills, and frames are part of the exterior window job and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included on the outside of the sash. Interior tracks are not part of this visit.
Not on this visit. Interior and exterior glass is a different booking, and we quote it separately if you ask. We do not do pressure washing of siding or other surfaces as part of this service. The water-fed pole is how we remove dirt from upper panes without a ladder leaned on the siding.
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 unlock the side gate. That is the whole list, with one addition for condos: check with the association about ladder access before the crew arrives.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
