The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. On our Havre de Grace jobs, most customers book the spring and fall visits, which is when we see the most grit and pollen on the glass.
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 gutter and window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Most window cleaners do not touch the gutters, so doing both 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 clean runs and glass do a lot for curb appeal.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the ones the crew sees from the ground and the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment, and multi-story buildings add setup time at every floor. Oversized panes and a high window count add to the glass work. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that regular cleaning does not remove, and we tell you about it before we quote the glass. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside are not part of this price, and we say so on the phone.
When clogged gutters have been left a long time, the water backs up and seeps behind the fascia, which is where we most often find water damage. Our crew photographs those spots and notes them in the report. The house in Havre de Grace that we cleaned last spring had a lot of tree cover, a window count near the top of the range for two stories, and gutters that had been packed through the winter. We cleaned the runs first, flushed every downspout, and then did the glass. The price came from the stories, the window count and the time the gutters needed, and that is the number that went on the invoice.
For a firm number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and a rough window count, or call (866) 435-6328. A quote from us covers professional window cleaning and the gutter runs together, so the whole number is set before the crew comes out. We can usually give you a firm figure from that.
| 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, most of our customers book their cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for a residential window job and the gutters on the same house. Regular cleanings in those two seasons keep the glass readable between storms. The spring visit lands in mid to late May across Maryland, and in Havre de Grace the fall visit usually falls in late October to November. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste builds up in the gutters. Fall brings the leaf load, and it is the visit that keeps the runs clear through the winter.
Across Maryland, summer thunderstorms and derechos can move the schedule, and a heavy storm often leaves debris in the gutters and a film on the glass that needs a second look. Houses under heavy tree cover over the roof, or with a sprinkler line that hits the glass, tend to need a third visit, because the spots from the sprinklers come back a day after cleaning. Residential properties near a busy road or a construction site also pick up more grime on the glass between visits.
Here is what the crew looks for. Haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low usually means it is time to get clean windows back. Water sheeting over the gutter edge in the rain means the runs need clearing, unless the slope is the problem, which we will tell you about. After a storm, the crew checks every window on the side that took the wind and wipes the sill under it. If you want to schedule service before the leaf load peaks, book the fall visit early.
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.
Booking with us starts with a quick estimate by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us, tell us the number of stories, and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the window count and the gutter runs. Our window cleaning services cover the exterior glass only, and we never quote interior and exterior work as one job. Our washing services cover gutters and downspouts along with the outside glass. Picture windows and upper-story panes are cleaned from the pole, not from a ladder. Our calendar is busiest during the two windows of the year when pollen and leaf load are heaviest, so booking ahead in those months helps. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, because the crew does not come inside. Runoff from a clogged run is what stains the wall below, so the crew clears the gutters first and flushes the downspouts before the glass. Grime builds up between visits, and the crew uses purified water instead of cleaning solutions to remove dirt without streaks. We serve residential and commercial properties across the surrounding area, including condos and townhomes where the same crew can reach the job, and the lead time depends on the season and the schedule at the time you call. Most homes book two cleanings a year.
Yes, and it is the same crew. The same crew handles residential and commercial jobs, and we do both services in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text at (866) 435-6328.
On our Havre de Grace jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass often looks dull from the outside even when the inside is clean. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so the glass dries without residue, and picture windows get the same treatment as every other pane on the outside.
Most of our customers book two cleanings a year, one in spring and one in fall. Across Maryland the spring visit lands in mid to late May, and in Havre de Grace the fall visit falls in late October to November.
Not with our order of work. We clear the gutters, flush the downspouts, let the wall stop dripping, and then do the glass. Regular cleanings in that order keep the runs clear and the glass from dulling between visits.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
We do not do interior and exterior glass in one visit, so this booking is exterior only. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
