Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first, glass last, so nothing runs back down onto the panes we just finished. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. The glass is rinsed with purified water, not cleaning solutions. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, and we will confirm the date by 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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Each extra story, a steep roof or a third story, means more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings need the pole for every upper pane. A high window count or oversized picture windows takes longer to wash properly. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more hours in the run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, so we flag it on the visit rather than charge for it blind. We quote the exterior glass only, never the interior and exterior together, because the inside is not part of this visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Parkville jobs, the houses that take the longest are the ones with the most glass and the most packed gutters. If you want the exact number, send us a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with a figure before anyone books a date. That is the same process whether you need window washing, window cleaning services, washing services for the gutters, or both together.
| 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.
Most of our Parkville customers book regular cleanings twice a year, so one crew in one visit makes sense for them.
Each visit finds something different. Across Maryland, the spring visit runs mid to late May, once the pollen film has settled on south-facing glass and the spring dust has packed into the gutter elbows. Our fall visits run late November to December, and by then clogged gutters are the main problem: the wet leaf mat sits in the runs until the first hard freeze. Across Maryland, summer thunderstorms and derechos can move the dates, so we watch the weather and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings, and clogged gutters that overflow in a storm can lead to water damage at the fascia and sill. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than the rest. If one of these fits your lot, we will say so after the first visit.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Interior glass is not part of this visit, so the windows inside stay on their own schedule. If you see either outside, 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.
Our crew has cleaned gutters and exterior windows across Parkville for years, and we book our slots with the same professional window cleaning standard on every house. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us, give the number of stories, and send a photo of the house front. We will confirm a date and call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills during both. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Outside them, we can usually schedule service with a little more flexibility. Clean glass and gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, and the same visit covers both.
Leaf and dust loads sit on residential and commercial glass alike, but this page covers houses only. We also work with a number of residential window cleaners and cleaning services in the area, so if your schedule shifts we can often find a replacement date that keeps the crew on the same run of houses. Every window on the house gets the same care, including each sill and each frame.
Yes. The same crew cleans the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before anyone books a date.
On our Parkville jobs the outside carries most of the grime: pollen in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the outside is how you remove dirt that has built up since the last visit. The inside is not part of this visit, so the outside is where the real build-up is.
Across Maryland, spring visits run mid to late May and fall visits run late November to December. Most of our residential properties in Parkville book in those two windows, since that is when leaves and grime build up fastest on gutters and glass.
Not on our jobs. We clean gutters first and glass last, because runoff from the leaves, grit and black water comes down the wall and across any window below. Clearing the gutters first keeps the glass clean on the way out.
Screens, sills and frames are part of the exterior visit and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included when they are on the outside of the house and reachable from the ground or the pole. Condos get the same exterior visit.
No. This visit is exterior glass only. We do not clean interior windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
