Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Maryland, most of the homes we clean get the gutters and glass done in the spring and fall, and the number we quote on the phone is the number we charge.
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 direct answer is that we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs in one visit costs less than two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. It covers the exterior only, so a request for interior and exterior work is quoted as a separate job.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window counts that include oversized panes, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the cleaning solutions are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact number for your house, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows face the street and the yard. A window and gutter visit on a house with picture windows or a large run of glass is quoted from that count, not from a guess. Crews on the ladder see the difference between a lightly used gutter and clogged gutters holding a season of pollen paste, and we price for what is actually there.
On a house where the back gutter is packed and the crew has to flush several downspouts to clear it, the job runs higher than a front-only estimate would suggest, which is why we ask for the photo before we quote. Maintenance cleanings on the same house are quoted at the regular rate, and the crew sees the difference between a first clean and regular cleanings after that.
| 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 Pasadena customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Our crews find the pollen film on south-facing glass in the spring, the leaf load in the gutters in the fall, and the storm and wind seasons move the dates in both directions.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings with a long run of gutter often do too. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts and leave clogged gutters faster than twice a year can keep up. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust that settles on the sills within weeks. Our crews keep those houses on a schedule that matches what they see at each visit, and we tell the customer which of these applies after the first clean.
Window cleaners who only do the glass tend to miss what the gutters are doing to the same wall, and that is one reason we run both jobs together. A gutter that runs over in the rain sends water down the siding, and the same water can carry runoff across the glass below. Keeping the gutters clear is part of keeping the windows clean, and it is part of avoiding water damage at the fascia. One crew booked for both jobs saves a second trip, and it is the simplest of our cleaning services. The professional window cleaning on the glass comes after the gutters, so nothing lands on it twice.
Haze that you only notice when the sun is low on the glass is the sign the windows need attention. Dull windows inside the house are often just the outside glass showing through, so the outside is the place to start. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter during a rain is the sign the gutters need attention. If you see either one, call us and we will tell you what the crew finds.
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 Pasadena for window and gutter cleaning, and the easiest way to book is to call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We confirm the estimate by phone, give a typical lead time, and call before we come, so nobody has to be home for the exterior work.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so it helps to schedule service early in those months. Outside those windows, slots open up more often. We do not promise same-day or next-day service unless we have an opening that week, and we will tell you what the next available date is when you call. This page covers residential jobs only, so a residential and commercial request is quoted on the phone rather than from the numbers above.
Our work covers residential properties and the outside of clean windows on every window of a house, including the sill and the frame. Each residential window on the house is cleaned from the outside, with the same care on every pane. If you have a question about a specific window or a picture window, text the photo and we will tell you what we can do with it before the crew comes out.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, because gutter debris and water run down the wall onto any glass below.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from stories and window count, and condos with their own exterior glass are counted the same way. You can get it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by texting a photo of the front of the house.
Usually the outside is where the grime collects here. Rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the glass between visits, and the inside never sees any of it, so cleaning only the inside leaves that film in place. Clean glass and clear gutters also do more for curb appeal than most people expect.
Most of our Pasadena customers book in the spring and the fall, which fits the spring season and the fall leaf drop. Booking early in those months gets you a slot before the calendar fills.
No, we do gutters and downspouts first and glass last. When a gutter is cleared, the leaves and the black water run down the wall and across any window below it, so the glass is done once everything above it has stopped dripping.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the window cleaning visit, and the crew wipes the sill and rinses the screen as part of the job. Tracks and screens are where the crew will remove dirt before the glass is done. There is no separate charge for those on this visit.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of windows, and we do not offer pressure washing or other washing services, so if you need either one you will need another company for that work.
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.
