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 booking two separate trips. On our Lochearn jobs, most customers book in the spring and the fall, which is when the pollen and leaf loads build up on the glass and in the runs. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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.

On the day, the crew finds the things that move a quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of windows, picture windows or oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, 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.
Window washing is the same job whether you have a few panes or a full front elevation, but the approach changes with the house. Our window cleaners bring a water-fed pole for the upper stories and set a boom or scissor lift where the walls are too tall to reach safely. Professional window cleaning means the glass is rinsed with purified water so no cleaning solutions are left to streak, the frames get wiped, and the gutters are flushed before the window crew touches the glass. Curb appeal on a house comes from both at once, which is why we do them together.
Gutters that have not been cleaned for a long time carry more weight and more debris, and that is where the clogged gutters turn into water damage on fascia and siding. We would rather find it in the first visit and photograph it than let it run another season. Houses with several stories or multi-story buildings take longer to set up and move through, so the number reflects the time on the wall and not a guess.
Exterior glass only is included on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and a full interior and exterior cleaning is booked as its own job. Pressure washing is not part of this visit either. Tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have, and send a photo of the front of the house by text. That gives us what we need for a written estimate before the crew is booked.
| 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.
On our Lochearn jobs, most of our customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, so one crew in one visit each time makes sense. Across Maryland the pattern is similar for cleaning services, but the dates move with the weather.
In the spring the pollen settles as a film on the south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters and elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that packs the runs and the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons, including summer thunderstorms, can push the dates, and we would rather schedule service after a bad storm than leave debris sitting in the runs.
Some houses need regular cleanings beyond the usual two. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on every window. For these we plan three or four cleanings a year.
You will know the clean windows need attention again when a haze shows up that you only see when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down 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.
Our window cleaning services cover the neighborhoods of Lochearn where our crew has worked, and across the city we book the estimate by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and we confirm the slot and the time window before we come. We call before we arrive.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. Those are the weeks the calendar fills, so an early booking helps. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside.
We handle residential properties, condos and small multi-unit buildings, and the approach is the same for residential and commercial exteriors. The gutter and window washing services cover the gutters and downspouts, every residential window on the house, the frames and the sills. Where the wall is dirty from runoff off a roof or a lot, we note it on the estimate. Grime and runoff are what we see most, and we remove dirt from the glass and the runs in the same visit.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We clean the gutters first, flush the downspouts, and then do the glass, so the water from the runs does not land on clean windows.
The number depends on the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text once we know those. We do not quote a figure without seeing the house.
Yes. The outside of a window in Lochearn picks up pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those do not come off with an inside cleaning. Our cleaning solutions are for the exterior glass on this visit.
Our customers here book in the spring and the fall, when the pollen and the leaves are heaviest. Across Maryland the same two windows apply, and a slot earlier in those months is easier to get.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When the runs are cleared and flushed, the wall has a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior work. None of it is billed as an extra on this visit.
No. This visit is exterior only, so we do not clean the interior and we do not pressure wash. If you want an interior and exterior cleaning, tell us and we will schedule it 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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
