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 both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. On our Lanham jobs most customers book it in the spring and the fall, when the pollen and the leaves have had time to build up on the glass and in the gutters.
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 and gutter cleaning 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 you on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same ones the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we have to work from a boom or scissor lift, a window count that includes oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
The fastest way to get the exact number is to send us a photo of the front of the house by text along with the number of stories and a rough count of windows. We check the photo against the same questions we ask on every job, so there are no surprises on the invoice. For a house that has picture windows, a long stretch of glass across the front, we measure those on site rather than guess from the outside. If the gutters have been packed for a long time, we tell you that before we start so you can decide how to handle the run. Cleaning solutions are included with the job, and regular cleanings are quoted the same way as a first visit, with no charge for the water we bring. Residential and commercial jobs are both on the same quote form, so you can tell us which one you have and we will price it the same way. The quote covers the exterior only, so if you want interior and exterior glass on the same house, say so when you call.
| 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.
Most of our Lanham customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on this calendar.
In the spring the pollen film is the thing we find on south-facing glass, and the pollen paste is what packs the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall it is the leaf load, which comes down wet and mats across the gutter runs. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little either way, so we look at the house rather than the calendar when we set a slot. Some houses need a third visit: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning, or a house close to a busy road or active construction. Those cases are the ones where clogged gutters come back fastest and the glass picks up grime quickly.
For multi-story buildings, the number of visits depends on the height and the trees around them, and we set it after one look rather than guessing. Professional window cleaning on these houses is a yearly schedule plus the extra visit where the house needs it. Keeping up with cleaning services on a schedule is the easiest way to stop the buildup from turning into water damage at the fascia. Window cleaners who only do the glass tend to skip the gutter run, and that is where the buildup starts.
The sign windows need a cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign gutters need it is water running over the edge in the rain instead of into the downspout.
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 clean window and gutter cleaning jobs across Lanham on residential window and gutter cleaning schedules, and the residential properties we see most often are two-story homes and condos, with a run of gutters on the back and a row of windows across the front. Our crew works on the outside of the house only, and nobody needs to be home for the job. You book by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we call before we come.
Lead time is set by the calendar, and it is the spring and fall that fill first. When the calendar tightens, we tell you the first open date instead of promising one we cannot hold. We schedule service around the number of windows and the gutter runs, so a house that needs clean windows on every floor gets the same slot as a house that only needs the front. Every window that comes off the sill gets wiped, and the frames are done with the glass so the clean does not stop at the pane.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, and gutters and downspouts are done first, so the runoff from the roof does not run back across the glass.
We do not give a figure over text. The number comes from the stories and the window count, and you get it by phone or text before anyone is booked.
Often yes. The outside glass is where pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect, and clean outside glass adds to the curb appeal of the front of the house.
Our fall visits in Lanham run November to early December. Across Maryland, the spring window runs mid to late May, and most of our Lanham customers book the spring and fall visits.
No. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, then wait a few minutes for the wall to stop dripping before we touch any glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. We do not bill them as separate extras.
This visit is exterior only, so we do not clean the windows inside and we do not pressure wash. The water-fed pole is how we remove dirt from the outside glass and frames.
You do not need to be home for our washing services. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
