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 doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has done this work on residential properties across Maryland, and many of our customers book spring and fall for curb appeal.
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, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story or a steep roof that is hard to walk, window counts, picture windows and oversized panes that take longer, gutters nobody has opened in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Window washing on the outside is quoted once for the whole house, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. Windows inside the house are not part of this price. Clogged gutters that have run for a season can also hide water damage at the fascia, and we photograph that for you rather than guess at it.
To get an exact figure, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough window count. Our crew reads the same list every time, so the number you hear before we come is the one on the invoice. Our professional window cleaning also reaches the glass behind the screens, the tracks, and the trim, so tell us about any panes that are hard to reach from the ground.
| 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 twice a year, which is why one crew doing both jobs in one visit makes sense. The spring visit usually falls in mid to late May, and the fall visit in November to early December. Our cleaning services follow the leaf calendar, not a fixed date, so a schedule service call usually comes after the first hard rain of the season.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste in the gutters. In fall the leaf load is the main problem, and wet leaves that sit in the runs for weeks are what sag hangers. Across Maryland, summer thunderstorms and derechos move these dates, and a bad derecho summer can push a visit earlier. Our cleaning solutions are purified water only, so the glass dries without a film.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road each bring more debris to the same runs. Sprinkler spots come back a day after cleaning, so we flag them on the first visit. On a residential window, a single sill can hold grit for months, and it is one of the first things we wipe.
Windows need a cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and that haze usually sits on every window on the sunny side. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in a rain, and regular cleanings keep that from starting.
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 cleans gutters and windows around North Bethesda on residential and commercial properties alike, and our window cleaners keep all of the window cleaning services on one route. Booking starts with an estimate: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories. Most jobs are slotted within the lead time we confirm when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills first. Book early if your gutters and downspouts were last cleared more than six months ago, because runoff from a blocked downspout can soak the soil at the foundation before we arrive. Our crew cleans the gutters first, then we remove dirt from the glass with purified water, so the clean windows dry without a towel.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. This visit covers the exterior only, so the interior and exterior of your windows are not both part of one visit. We call before we come, and we text photos of each run when we finish. Our washing services are the same whether the house is a single-family home or one of the condos and townhomes nearby, and the grime on those multi-story buildings is usually the same kind of leaf and tree buildup.
Yes. The same two people do both, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the runs washes onto the clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text a photo of the front and the story count and we send an estimate.
On our jobs here the outside carries most of the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, so outside cleanings are the part that changes what you see.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and the calendar fills fastest in those months.
No. Gutters go first and glass last, so the runoff is gone before anyone touches the windows.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job. We rinse the screens, wipe the sills and clean the tracks in the same visit.
We clean the exterior only on this visit. Interior glass and pressure washing are not part of this service.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate open. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
