Yes, 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 falls back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works across Maryland every spring and fall, and that schedule is what keeps the work on the same calendar as your house.
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.
The direct answer is simple: we price window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle of gutters and exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge when the crew finishes, and it is built from those inputs rather than a guess at the ladder.
On our jobs, four things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs a boom or scissor lift on some sides. Window count and oversized picture windows change the glass time. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more hand work before any flushing starts. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our washing services follow the same steps on every house, and the quote for residential properties reflects the house, not the crew.
For a Lexington Park house, the most useful thing you can send us for our window cleaning services is a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the number of stories and a rough window count. With those three things we can tell you what the visit will involve and give you a written estimate before anyone books a date. If you want interior and exterior glass done, tell us so we can quote each one separately. Ask for it, and we will send it in writing.

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 both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. The spring visit comes in mid to late May across Maryland, after the seed and pollen drop has settled. The fall visit comes in late November to December, after the last leaves are down and before the hard freeze. Across Maryland, storm seasons bring summer thunderstorms and derechos, and those can shift when a visit is needed.
What we find at each visit is consistent. In the spring, pollen forms a film on south-facing glass and turns to paste in the gutters, and the downspout elbows pack with seeds. In the fall, the leaf load is the main problem, and on houses that skip that visit, gutters can sag under the first freeze and carry water back toward the fascia. Snow falls here from December through March, about 12.5 inches a year, and heavy snow and ice can stress a run that was already clogged, which is when water damage at the fascia tends to show up. Rain totals about 45.3 inches a year, with June, July and August the wettest months, so clogged gutters overflow fastest then.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that most often with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or construction picks up extra grime, and the crew has to remove dirt from the frames and sills before the glass is rinsed. Those are the cases where clogged gutters and window spotting return fastest, and where regular cleanings pay off. Windows inside are not part of this visit; we clean the outside of the glass only, unless you ask us about the inside separately. The crew carries its own cleaning solutions, so nothing has to be bought or set out before the visit.
Watch for two signs. The first is a haze on the glass you only notice when the sun is low. The second is runoff sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain, which means the run is blocked or the slope is off. Either one can lead to water damage at the fascia within a season. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at the house before the next scheduled visit. Multi-story buildings and older roofs can show the same pattern, and residential and commercial buildings get the same check.
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 have cleaned gutters and exterior windows across the Lexington Park area, and our crew works the same way on every house we visit. Homeowners who search for window cleaners often want the gutters done too, so one crew can handle both in one visit. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time varies with the season, and the busiest windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills fastest. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early and we will confirm the date in writing.
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. Our goal is professional window cleaning with a clear order of work and photos of every run, so you can see what was done before the truck leaves. For homeowners who want one provider for every window and every gutter, our window cleaning services cover the whole outside of the house in one visit, and we can schedule service on a recurring calendar. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal, since both show from the street.
When you call, tell us the number of stories and whether the gutters and downspouts have guards. Let us know if any residential window is a large picture window, if a sill holds heavy grime, or if the house is one of several condos sharing a gutter run. Those details help us set the crew and the time. We cover the neighborhoods of Lexington Park from one route, so the same crew can often fit in a nearby house the same day.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and downspouts first and then does the outside of the windows, in one visit. That keeps dirty gutter water off the clean glass.
Pricing for residential properties starts with the stories and the approximate size of the house, and we give the figure by phone or text. We will not guess it here; send us the stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure in writing.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the damage: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass, and runoff from a clogged gutter streaks the glass below it. Outside cleaning is how we remove dirt from the glass and the frames. The inside is a separate question and is not part of this visit.
Across Maryland, the spring visit falls in mid to late May and the fall visit in late November to December, which are the windows when pollen and leaves are on the house.
No. We do gutters first and glass last, so anything that comes down the wall is rinsed before the glass is touched. The reason is simple: washing the glass first means it gets dirty again on the way down.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks and other heavy grime can need extra time, and we tell you before the visit if that applies.
This page is written for residential properties, which is what our estimates cover. For a commercial building, call (866) 435-6328 first so we can tell you whether the crew can take it. We do not do pressure washing as part of this service, and if you want interior and exterior glass done, we quote each one separately.
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 leave the side gate unlocked. If your home is one of several condos sharing a roof or gutter run, tell us when you call so we can confirm which gutters and glass are yours. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
