Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and we always do the gutters first and the glass last. We price the job by the number of stories, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. On our Parole jobs most customers book it in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest on the house.
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 residential properties by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking the gutters and the glass together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with nothing added on the day.
On our jobs the quote moves for a handful of reasons. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A large window count or oversized picture windows adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear, and gutter guards we have to lift and reseat add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, so gutters and downspouts are one price. We quote the outside of the glass only, and interior and exterior work is never bundled into the same price.
Our Parole customers tend to ask about regular cleanings rather than a one-off. The crew can set up a schedule that matches how fast your gutters fill and how much grime settles on the glass. Our window cleaning services run on the same visit schedule as the gutter work, so one booking covers both. Once we have been out, we can tell you which of the window washing services and gutter visits your house actually needs.
To get an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. For the window side, a count of how many panes face the street is enough to get us started. We will come back with a written estimate before anything is booked.

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 Parole customers book the window and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, 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 falls in late November to December. Those are the windows we work to because they catch the seed drop and the leaf drop.
On the spring visit we find pollen film across south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall we find the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs and the grit that washes onto the sills. Storm and wind season across Maryland, summer thunderstorms and derechos, hits residential and commercial buildings alike, and we adjust the booking to match. We clean with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so there is nothing left to streak. Clogged gutters are the first thing that shows up in a wet season, and an overflowing run is usually where water damage starts at the fascia.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit flowing into the gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the windows. Multi-story buildings take longer on every visit because the upper runs and panes are reached from the pole or a ladder. We will tell you if your house falls into one of those groups after the first visit.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, usually on the side that gets the afternoon light. Haze on the windows inside the house is a different job, since this visit covers the outside only. Gutters tell you when they need it in a different way, when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 works across Parole and books the window and gutter work for homes and buildings across the city. Our cleaning services cover the gutters and the outside glass in the same visit. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with the number of stories. That is enough for us to give you a written estimate. We use the same process for every house so the number we quote is the number you pay.
Lead time varies with the season, and the spring and fall months fill first. Most of our Parole clients plan ahead for those windows, so calling early helps. Our professional window cleaning crew keeps a schedule so each visit gets the time it needs, and we are glad to fit a single house into a route with our other work nearby.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know when the crew is on the way. The window cleaners clean every window on the outside of the house, including the sill and frame. We also schedule service around your own calendar so you are not stuck waiting, which keeps your curb appeal in good shape between visits.
Yes. Window and gutter cleaning is one visit, run by the same two people, who clean the gutters and downspouts first and finish with the glass.
We quote residential properties by phone or text from the number of stories and the size of the house, so there is no figure to give here. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the exact number.
Yes. The outside of a residential window takes the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those keep coming back between visits. The inside is a separate job, and the outside still collects pollen and rain dust either way.
Most book in spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaf drop are heaviest. Across Maryland the spring visit falls in mid to late May, and the fall visit falls in late November to December.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water can come down the wall onto any window below it, and that runoff is why the glass waits until the gutters are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Rinsing is how we remove dirt from screens, so it is part of the price.
On this visit we clean the outside of the windows only. We do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing.
If your unit shares a roof or a gutter run with the building, call before booking, because that run may belong to the association. Otherwise condos are quoted the same way as other homes, by stories and window count.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
