Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Across Maryland, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The quote comes from those three things, and it is the same figure you will see on the invoice.
On our Milford Mill jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Window count matters, and so do picture windows and other oversized panes that need a boom or scissor lift to reach. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear before the crew can flush the downspouts. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same visit as the glass. The price covers labor, equipment and purified water, with no cleaning solutions billed on top. We do not do interior glass on this visit, so interior and exterior cleaning of the same window never shows up as one line, and we do not pressure wash siding or decks. A house with a shop or office on the ground floor is a residential and commercial mix, so call before booking and we will quote it correctly.
Our crew tends to see the same pattern on a lot of these houses. A customer who sends a photo of the front of the house and gives us the number of stories gets a quote that holds up on the day. Text us a photo of the front of the house, tell us how many stories it is, and we will send back a written estimate. That is the fastest way to get the exact number for your house.
The gutters and the windows on the same house often need the same visit, which is why the bundle makes sense. We clear the roof and the gutters first, flush every run, and then clean the glass, so nothing dirty lands on clean panes.
| 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 of our customers book both gutter and window cleanings twice a year, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the spring and fall calendar.
On the first visit in spring, usually mid to late May across Maryland, we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall, the leaf load is what we clean out first. Across Maryland, summer thunderstorms and derechos can leave clogged gutters full of wet leaves, and storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we check the calendar before we book.
Some houses are better served by regular cleanings than by two visits a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, and a gutter that stays full can lead to water damage when the rain comes hard. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings and tall homes take more time on the ladder, and a house near a busy road or construction picks up more grime than the average house, which shows up on the glass quickly.
Windows tell you when they need a visit: a haze you only see when the sun is low. Gutters tell you the same way: water sheeting over the edge in rain. If you see either, call us and we will look at it.
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 offers window cleaning services and gutter cleaning services on residential properties across Milford Mill, houses and condos alike. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us, and we start with a short estimate. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count and the gutter run before we set a date. This is how we keep the window and gutter cleaning schedule honest.
How soon we can come depends on the calendar at the time you call, so we give you the lead time when we quote. In the busy windows of spring and fall our schedule fills quickly, so book early if you want a particular week. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We clean every residential window on the outside of the house, including sills and frames, and we take down screens for rinsing when you ask. Clean windows and clear gutters add real curb appeal, and the gutters carry the water that would otherwise run down the same walls.
Yes, professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning are done by the same crew in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the roof does not run back across clean panes.
Our window cleaning services and gutter work are priced by the number of stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a written estimate before anything is booked.
On our Milford Mill jobs, the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, which build up faster than the inside. Rain alone does not remove dirt that has baked onto the glass, and cleaning the outside is the part that shows from the street.
Across Maryland, our customers mostly book in spring and fall, so those are the busy windows. Book early if you want a specific week, and we will tell you the lead time when you call.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When we clear a run, the leaves and grit come down the wall, and any runoff from a gutter that is still full would hit the clean glass below, so the roof and downspouts are done before anyone touches the windows.
Sills are wiped as part of the job. Screens are rinsed and put back in the window they came out of when you ask for it, and nothing is billed as an extra.
We clean the outside of the windows only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing services.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Text us a photo of the roofline if you want to check the access first.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
