Yes, 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 an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Maryland, most of our crew's work is booked for spring and fall, when leaf loads and dust are heaviest and the glass shows it most.
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 the bundle by stories and approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Window washing and gutter work go out on one visit, so the professional window cleaning costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. On multi-story buildings, and on tall houses, window washing takes longer, since a third story or a steep roof takes more time to work safely. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes and picture windows that need more care. Gutters not cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the last one: no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit.
Send a photo of the front of the house by text along with your stories and window count, and we will give you the exact number before anyone climbs a ladder. Clean gutters and glass do a lot for curb appeal, and clogged gutters that have sat through a season can also lead to water damage at the fascia, so the earlier you get the number, the better.

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 customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on a residential property. Across Maryland, spring visits run mid to late May, and fall visits run late October to November. By late May the glass shows pollen film on south-facing windows, and the gutters hold pollen paste. In the fall it is the leaf load that sets the timing. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we call before we come, and booking early is the simplest way to schedule service in the window you want.
Some houses need a third visit, and for those we run regular cleanings on a shorter schedule, since our cleaning services cover gutters and glass on the same visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that wets every window on one side leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than the rest.
Large panes show it first, as a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign the gutters need is water sheeting over the edge in a hard rain. If either shows up between visits, text us a photo 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.
We work across Kettering and the surrounding residential streets, and we book slots on a first-come basis. To get on the calendar, call (866) 435-6328 or text your stories, window count and a photo of the house front. Our window cleaning services and gutter work run on one visit, and each residential window on the outside gets the same pass. Lead time varies with the season, and in the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills first, so the earlier you ask, the better your odds. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
We clean gutters and downspouts first, then the glass on the same visit, so the crew does not need to return. The gutter run is how we remove dirt before the glass goes on, and the crew finishes with clean windows on every side of the house. Our washing services cover residential properties, condos and small multi-unit buildings alike, and the crew plans the route around the grime and runoff on each side.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps dirty gutter water off the clean glass.
The number comes from stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the exact figure before the job. For residential and commercial work beyond a house or small multi-unit building, call first and we will say whether we can quote it.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime here: spring film from the trees, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that do not come off on their own. Cleaning solutions will not remove sprinkler spots, which need a mineral treatment. Interior glass is a separate matter that we do not do on this visit.
Most customers book in late spring and again in late fall. Our crew sees the leaf and dust loads peak at those times, and the calendar fills quickly then.
Not on our jobs. Gutters are cleared and flushed first, the wall is given a few minutes to drain, and only then do we touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job. None of it is billed as an extra.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside or do pressure washing on this job, and interior and exterior glass are different jobs, so ask us for a separate quote if you want either one.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
