Yes, the same two people clean the 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 them as two separate trips. Our crew has done this work across Maryland for spring and fall visits, and most of our Maryland City customers book both in the same season.
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 job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and when we do both gutters and windows in one visit the window and gutter bundle costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will quote it before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds when it gets there. A third story or a steep roof takes longer on the ladder. A high window count, oversized picture windows and a lot of glass on the back of the house add time. A heavy pollen film on the glass takes more passes than a clean pane. Gutters nobody has opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear than a run that was included in the last of your cleanings. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is a separate problem that cleaning solutions alone will not remove, and we tell you about it before the visit rather than after. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras.
On a Maryland City window and gutter cleaning job the first question is always the same: how many stories, and how many windows across the front and back. The questions are the same for residential and commercial buildings. Once we have those two numbers and a photo, the quote is straightforward. Regular cleanings start from the same two numbers, so a repeat booking is quoted from the last visit. For a house that has not had its gutters cleaned in a long time, we will tell you when the gutters will need a second look during the same visit and what that adds. This visit covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior glass are quoted as separate jobs. Ask for a written estimate if you want the breakdown of gutters, exterior windows and the bundle saving before you book a date.
| 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 customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, and most of our Maryland City customers do the same, one visit in spring and one in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Maryland the spring visit usually lands in mid to late May. Once the spring pollen drop finishes, a film sits on south-facing glass and sticky residue packs the gutters and the downspout elbows. In Maryland City the fall visit falls from November to early December, when the leaf load is what we find, a wet mat that sags the runs and blocks the outlets before the first hard freeze. A professional window cleaning in spring and another in fall keeps the glass clear, and window cleaners who come back on that schedule see the same buildup every year. Clean glass and clear gutters are the quickest curb appeal a two-story house can get.
Heavy tree cover over the roof changes the schedule. Under big trees, needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so those houses end up on a three- or four-visit schedule instead of two. Clogged gutters are the first thing we check on those houses. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than one on a quiet street. Multi-story buildings and three-story houses need more time on the ladder, so the story count matters for the schedule as well as the price. Those are the cases where a third visit makes sense, and we will say so on the first call rather than sell it later. Cleaning services that book gutters and glass as two trips cost you a second setup, which the one-visit bundle avoids.
You will know windows need cleaning when haze shows up only in low sun. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a hard rain instead of running into the downspout. If either shows up between visits, text a photo and we will tell you which one it is. Clogged gutters that hold water for days are the usual route to water damage on the trim and siding. Marks on the windows inside are outside this visit, since we clean exterior glass only.
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 crew handles window and gutter cleaning across Maryland City and the surrounding streets, from single-family houses to larger residential properties. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count and the quote. To schedule service, we call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, though the side gate should be unlocked and pets kept inside while the ladders are up.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring bloom and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills in those weeks. If you want a slot in either window, book early. Outside those weeks the schedule is looser and we can usually find a date sooner. For a house with clean windows that only needs a single visit, one booking covers gutters and every window on the exterior through our washing services, including each sill. Every residential window on the outside of the house goes on the same visit as the gutter run above it.
Yes. Our crew does both, so the gutters and downspouts and the glass are done in one visit by the same two people, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will quote it.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here: a spring bloom film, rain runoff and sprinkler spotting. That is the dirt that builds up between visits, and it is what we remove on each one.
Most of our Maryland City customers book in spring and fall, after the bloom and again after the leaves come down. Condos follow the same calendar as houses, since the bloom and the leaves reach them too.
No, we do gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the runs drips onto windows we have already cleaned. Someone who does the glass first has to wash it again before leaving.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned to remove dirt as part of the exterior job, and they are not billed as extras.
Our washing services cover exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the 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. Ask for a written estimate if you want it in writing before you book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
