The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the job 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 customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, and we have been running that same routine on our own crews for years. Tell us the stories and roughly how many windows, and we will give you the number on the phone.
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 jobs by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Quotes for residential and commercial properties start the same way. Quotes cover exterior glass only, since interior and exterior windows are different jobs.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are consistent. Multi-story buildings, a third story, or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it all mean more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift for the back run. Oversized panes and picture windows take longer to wipe and dry clean. Pollen caked onto the glass in spring adds a wipe pass before the rinse. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before any flushing starts. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and cleaning solutions are included, so none of it is billed as an extra.
To get an exact number, give us the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Our crew works from that photo before anyone is quoted, so the estimate reflects what the house actually looks like rather than a guess. Regular cleanings keep the job quick, because a gutter that was cleared last season takes far less time than one that was not. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date.

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 jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Many window cleaners only do the glass, and booking our cleaning services together saves a second trip. In Mays Chapel we see the same pattern, and the exact months come from our own scheduling record for this area.
What we find at each visit follows the seasons. In late spring the pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and turns to paste in the gutter elbows, so professional window cleaning in late spring takes that film off before it hardens. In fall the leaf load builds up and matts in the runs. Storm and wind seasons, especially the summer thunderstorms that come through Maryland, can move the dates in either direction, so we confirm the booking window by phone before we schedule.
Some houses and multi-story buildings need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more dust on the frames. We will tell you after the first visit whether your lot needs a third trip, and we will not push it if it does not.
Two signs tell you the windows need attention: a haze you only see when the sun is low, and water sheeting over the gutter edge during rain. The haze sits on the outside glass, so the windows inside can look fine while the view outside is not. Water sheeting usually means clogged gutters, and left alone it leads to water damage at the wall below. Either one means it is time to book.
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 handle window and gutter cleaning for residential properties in Mays Chapel and across the surrounding area. We have cleaned homes on a wide range of lot sizes, so the estimate depends on the house itself rather than the street it sits on. Each residential window job follows the same order, gutters first and the clean windows last, and the sill of every window is wiped before we leave. To schedule service, send the number of stories and a photo of the house front by text, or call (866) 435-6328, and we come back with a number and an open date.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall stretches described above. In those weeks our calendar fills faster, so booking early keeps your preferred day. Outside those windows we usually have openings with a short lead time. We confirm the lead time when you book rather than promise a day before we know the schedule.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we arrive so you know when to expect us. Each job is done as a single visit to the gutters and the outside of every window, with photos of the finished work sent before the crew leaves.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. Our washing services cover the gutters and the outside glass, and we clean the gutters first, then the glass, so the work is sequenced to keep the windows from getting dirty again.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a number before we schedule anything.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Cleaning the outside alone is a common and sensible choice, and it can remove dirt from the part of the glass most people see first.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall. Across Maryland the spring visit usually lands in mid to late May, and the fall visit in late November to December, so book early in those windows if you want a specific day.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When gutters and downspouts are cleared above a window, the runoff and grit come down the wall, so cleaning the glass before the gutters means cleaning it twice.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job. Tracks are wiped as part of the window work, and we do not bill them as separate extras.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, and we do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars out of the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Condos follow the same steps, and the quote is built the same way.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
