The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across Maryland, most of our customers book this in spring and fall.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a window and gutter booking in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it already covers our cleaning solutions. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you that number before anyone is on a ladder.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked adds time, and the same is true of multi-story buildings. So does a window count that includes oversized panes, a set of picture windows, or a gutter run that has not been cleaned in years and is packed with needles and leaves. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are priced separately by the foot, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is something no cleaning removes, so we tell you about it before the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Pikesville jobs the quote rises most with stories and tree cover. A house with a sprinkler line that hits the glass takes more time on the sills and frames, and a house with big trees over the roof takes more time in the gutters. Ask for a written estimate that lists stories, window count and what we will do with each run before you book. For a number that fits your house, send a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us the number of stories; the crew will reply with a number and the visit window.
This is a bundle with one crew and one visit, so the price reflects that. The main reason a bundle costs less is that the ladder is set once per side of the house, not twice. Ask us which of your windows and gutter runs are on the same side, since those cleanings share one ladder setup, and we will show you where the savings come from.
| 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.
Across Maryland, most customers book both gutter cleaning and window cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for these jobs. The spring visit falls in mid to late May across Maryland, after the pollen has come down, and on our Pikesville jobs the fall visit falls in late November to December, after the leaves are off the trees.
At the spring visit we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed into the gutters and elbows. At the fall visit the gutters hold a wet leaf mat that sags under weight, and the sills collect grime that runoff pushes against the frames. Storm and wind seasons, summer thunderstorms and derechos across Maryland, can move these dates, so we keep a calendar and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit as part of regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts and leave clogged gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and a house near a busy road or construction collects more dust on every window. Houses like these are on three or four visits a year, and the frequency on the invoice tells you which one applies. Ask for a written estimate that matches your house, and we will tell you which schedule fits after the first visit.
A window needs cleaning when you see a haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low, and a hazy pane hurts the curb appeal of the front of the house. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign is a good reason to book a visit before the next storm and before water damage starts, and a quick text with a photo of the roofline is enough for us to tell you which one 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 run professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning across Pikesville and the surrounding houses. A window and gutter cleaning booking covers both on one visit, and we schedule service by the calendar we keep for the busy weeks. Start with a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you a quote and a lead time. The two busy windows are late May and late November, the spring and leaf months, and our calendar fills during those weeks, so book early if you want a specific day.
We do residential and commercial work across the city, covering residential properties, condos and commercial buildings, and we clean the exterior of every window we can reach from the ground or from a boom or scissor lift. For a residential window, the exterior glass, frames and sills are on the same visit as the gutters. For a commercial building, we bill per building on a scheduled cycle. If you have a question about your own building, call (866) 435-6328 and ask for a written estimate.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not come inside. If something cannot be reached safely, a pane over a sunroom roof or a gutter run behind a tree limb, the crew photographs it and tells you rather than guessing. Once the job is done, we send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before we leave, so you can check that the clean windows and the cleared gutters match the photos on the same day.
Ours is the same crew for both. Book one of our washing services and two people clean the gutters first and then the outside of the glass in one visit, so you get one appointment and one invoice. Gutters go first because the debris washes down the wall and across any window below it.
We do not give a figure in print because the number depends on the stories, the window count and what is in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote the number before anyone is on a ladder.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what dirties the glass here. Film from the air, rain dust and sprinkler spots land on the exterior, and that is where we remove dirt that makes the outside look hazy even when the inside is clean.
Most of our Pikesville customers book in late May and again in late November, which lines up with the spring and leaf months. Book early if you want a specific day in those weeks, because the calendar fills.
No, which is why we clear the gutters and downspouts first and do the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water below them run down the wall, so we rinse the wall before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and the tracks are cleaned on the same visit. None of it is billed as an extra line item.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. A full interior and exterior job is a separate booking, and we do not do pressure washing, so if you need either, you will need a different service.
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.
