Yes, the same two people who clean your gutters clean the outside of your windows, in one visit. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof ends up on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across Maryland, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when the seed drop and the leaves are heaviest.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The starting price depends on how many stories the house has, and what it covers is the same on every job.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we have to work from a boom or scissor lift, window count and oversized picture windows, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. We price multi-story buildings by stories the same way as houses. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Every run is flushed and flow-tested before we leave, and the debris is hauled, not blown into the yard. We use mild cleaning solutions on frames and sills, and the glass is finished with purified water.
On our Rockville jobs, the quote changes most when the house has heavy tree cover or a sprinkler line that hits the glass, because the grime comes back faster and the gutters fill between visits. To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the count of stories and a rough window count, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through it. We serve residential and commercial properties, and the same crew handles both. If you ask about interior and exterior glass together, this visit covers the outside only, and the price is quoted that way. Our residential and commercial cleanings follow the same order of work. The regular cleanings we book on a schedule are priced per visit, so the number holds from one visit to the next.
| 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 Rockville customers book both jobs twice a year, once in late spring and once in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Maryland, the pattern is the same: spring after the seed drop, and fall after the leaves are down.
In spring we find the pollen film on the south-facing glass and a paste of seed and grit in the gutters and downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see gutter runs that have sagged under the weight of ice by the next winter. A clogged gutter sends water down the wall instead of through the downspout, and that is how water damage starts at the eaves. Storms and wind move the dates; a derecho or a run of summer thunderstorms can bury a gutter in a week, and the sill on the north side collects the grit that runoff carries down the wall.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or a construction site all put more dirt on the glass and more debris in the gutters between cleanings. Professional window cleaning on these houses is scheduled from what we see at the first visit, not from a general rule.
You will know the windows need it when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running through the downspout. The windows and gutters are the first thing a visitor sees, so they carry most of the curb appeal. Until then, the first visit tells you what your lot actually needs.
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 windows across Rockville, and the crew knows the houses on most of the streets in the city. We clean residential properties and condos on the same route, and our window cleaning services follow one order every time. Booking is simple: call or text us, give the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm estimate for window and gutter cleaning on the spot. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and the calendar fills faster then, so book early to schedule service ahead of the rush.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not enter the house, so you can keep the interior routine as it is. A residential window is cleaned from the outside only, and we clean every window on the house that we can reach safely, down to the sill. The crew works to remove dirt from every pane it can reach. If a pane is out of reach, we tell you before we leave so you know what was done and what was not.
Once the schedule is set, we keep the same crew on your house for each visit so they know the roofline, the downspouts and the glass. That consistency is what makes the spring and fall visits faster and cleaner over time, and it is why we ask for a little notice before each one.
Yes. Our crew does both, in one visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the debris from the roof does not wash back onto the clean windows.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and our cleaning services are quoted the same way every time. Text us a photo of the front of the house with a count of the stories and the windows, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the exact figure before we book.
On our Rockville jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that show up a day after cleaning. Clean inside glass cannot hide those, so the outside is where the visible haze builds.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. Across Maryland the timing is the same, so the spring and fall visits are the two windows to plan for.
No. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. That order is the reason we do both jobs in one visit.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit as well. None of that is billed as an extra.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house, and our washing services stop at the outside of the glass, the frames and the gutters. We do not pressure wash 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 unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
