Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our cleaning services run through the spring and fall seasons across Maryland, and in North Laurel most of our customers book both in the same visit.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. We price professional window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle of gutters and exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside are not part of this price.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Picture windows and other oversized panes add time, and so do large window counts. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more work than a light run. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it when we see it. Water damage from a gutter that has run over for seasons is something we photograph and report rather than bill as cleaning.
On a North Laurel job, the fastest way to get an exact number is a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Our window washing and gutter work gets the same care on a small townhouse as on a larger home, and we check the roofline from the ground before we quote. If the window count is hard to judge, we ask for a second photo of the back. Curb appeal from clean glass and clear gutters comes through in the same visit, and most of our customers in North Laurel get both done at once.
| 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 |

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.
Most of our North Laurel customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Maryland the spring visit falls in mid to late May, and the fall visit in North Laurel usually lands in November to early December. Residential window work follows the same pattern: the spring visit clears the seed and pollen that built up over the winter, and the fall visit clears the leaves before the first hard freeze.
At each visit we find something specific. In the spring, the pollen film sits thick on south-facing glass and forms a paste in the gutters, and the downspout elbows are packed. In the fall, the leaf load is the main job, and a wet leaf mat that sits through winter is what sags hangers. Across Maryland, storm seasons with summer thunderstorms move the dates some years, so we call before we come and do not hold you to a calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass than a quiet street does. These are the cases where we suggest a third visit and say why.
You will know windows need cleaning when every window on the house shows a haze only in low sun. Clean windows should look clear from the sidewalk in ordinary light. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain. Between cleanings, a quick look from the ground is enough to tell.
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 washing services and window cleaning services have covered gutters and exterior glass across North Laurel. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you when a slot opens. Lead time is listed on the booking page for North Laurel. In the two busy windows of the year, when the spring visit season and the fall leaf drop arrive, our calendar fills faster, so booking early keeps your date.
When the crew arrives, we call first. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside. Gutters and downspouts get cleared and flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to dry, and then the glass is done. We clean window frames and sills, and the runoff from the gutters is kept off the clean panes. Residential properties, multi-story buildings, townhouse rows and condos get the same process as a single family house, with the crew working the run from one end to the other. We take residential and commercial work, but commercial properties are a separate booking.
On the glass itself we remove dirt and grime from every window on the exterior that we can reach, and we say what we cannot reach. The gutters are the same: we clear the runs and flush the downspouts until the water runs clear. Every visit ends with photos of the finished work sent to your phone.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff never ends up on clean panes.
The number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Text us those two things and a photo of the house front, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the number we will charge.
Often yes. The outside carries the grime, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those dull the glass whether the inside is clean or not. Interior and exterior cleaning are separate jobs, and we do the exterior only on this visit.
Most of our North Laurel customers book regular cleanings twice a year. Across Maryland the spring visit falls in mid to late May, and the fall visit in North Laurel usually lands in November to early December. Booking ahead of those two windows keeps your slot, since our calendar fills faster in the busy spring and leaf seasons.
No, that is why we work gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so we rinse the wall before we touch the panes below.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are wiped with the sill, and picture windows are cleaned the same way, one pane at a time, with none of it billed as an extra.
We clean the exterior of the glass only on this visit, using purified water and no cleaning solutions. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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 the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
