The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. 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 in the spring and the fall, once a year on a quiet lot and more often under heavy trees.
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. Booking gutters and exterior windows in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the figure before anything is scheduled. If you have quotes from other window cleaners, ask whether the gutters are in them.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. On multi-story buildings, a third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. Window count, picture windows and oversized panes add time at the glass. Gutters nobody has opened in years often arrive with clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, and gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time at the roofline. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a cleaning; it needs a separate treatment, and we flag it on the visit so you are not surprised. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The windows inside the house are a separate job and are not on this quote.
Window washing on a house that has not been done in a while tends to carry more curb appeal change than people expect, and the water damage we see most often comes from runoff that sat in the gutters all season and ran back down the wall. Our crews handle professional window cleaning on the outside of the glass as one visit with the gutters, so the windows get done after the roofline is clear.
To get the exact number, have the number of stories and an estimate of the windows ready, or text a photo of the front of the house. We will take it from there.
| 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.
On our Odenton jobs most of our customers book both twice a year, once in late spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Our cleaning services for residential properties follow that same pattern. Across Maryland the spring visit lands in mid to late May and the fall visit in late October to November, after the leaves are down and before the first hard freeze.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In late spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass, so every window on that side needs attention, and the pollen paste packs the gutters and the downspout elbows, while the sill under each pane collects the rest. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and across Maryland, summer thunderstorms and derechos move the dates when a storm strips the trees early. Houses that skip the fall visit often show runs that sagged under ice by the next winter, and the freeze risk in Odenton is the reason we push that visit.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packed between visits, and a sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A residential window under that line is the first place the spots show. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than most, and those lots tend to be on the schedule three or four times a year rather than twice. Most homes need the twice-a-year schedule; the first visit tells you which kind of lot you have, and later cleanings follow from that.
Clean windows stay clean only when the gutters above them are clear. You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze you only notice with the sun low, and you will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in the rain. Either way, schedule service with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with a photo, and we will tell you which of the two it is.
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 clean gutters and exterior windows across Odenton, and we book the estimate by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season and the calendar, and when the busy spring and fall windows fill, the slots go first. Our washing services are scheduled around the roofline, so the glass gets done after the gutters are clear. Much of the grime on the glass arrives in runoff from the roof, which is why the order matters.
Window cleaning services on a house are one visit, and gutters and downspouts are cleaned first so that runoff does not hit fresh glass. We clean commercial buildings as well as homes, and that includes condos where a single building has many units and many windows to remove dirt from in one pass. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Before the crew arrives, turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside. The crew calls before it comes, and it sends photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before it leaves.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the roof never lands on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Text a photo of the front of the house or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the exact figure.
Outside glass carries most of the grime on both residential and commercial buildings: pollen, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. Interior glass is a separate job, and we do not clean it on this visit.
Most of our Odenton customers book regular cleanings in late spring and again in the fall, so the calendar fills in those two windows. Across Maryland the spring visit is mid to late May and the fall visit is late October to November.
No, gutters first, glass last. When we clear a run, the grit and water under the leaves come down the wall, so the glass is washed only after the roof is blown clear and every downspout is flushed.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and those are part of the job. The glass is done with purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so nothing is left on the sill. Tracks and picture windows are included in the visit and are not billed as an add-on.
Exterior only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are not cleaned in one booking, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 before you book so we can confirm the slot.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
