Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Maryland, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, once the seasonal grime and the leaf drop have had their run at 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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, so every window gets counted before we quote. Doing gutters and exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and that is the main saving when you book both together. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones every time. A third story or a steep roof that needs the boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. Oversized panes, like picture windows, and a lot of small windows around the same wall. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, which take longer to clear and haul. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass, which regular cleaning solutions do not lift on their own, so we say so on the visit.
Across Maryland, the first thing we ask for is a photo of the front of the house, sent by text, along with the stories and a rough count of the windows. That is enough for us to give you the exact number before we book a date. The window washing part of the quote is worked out from the stories and the window count, not from one flat number for the whole house. Clean glass and gutters add to curb appeal, and that is the part of the job you can see from the street. If you are unsure about a window count, send the photo and we will count from it. The quote holds for the visit we book, and if the house turns out to be different from the photo we say so before the crew climbs. That is how we handle professional window cleaning on any house we quote.
When a customer's house has a lot of trees over it, or a sprinkler set that keeps wetting the same panes, the job tends to need more time than the photo suggests, and that shows up in the quote before anyone is on site. Gutters that clog between visits tend to show water damage first at the fascia, which is one reason we look at the runs on every visit, not only the ones you can see from the ground. Clogged gutters, multi-story buildings and water damage are the three things that cost the most when they are left alone, and they are the three things we quote most carefully.
| 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 of our customers book both gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Booking these cleaning services as a pair keeps the visits down, and the regular cleanings then land on the same two dates each year. Spring is when pollen settles on south-facing glass and packs into the downspout elbows. Fall is when the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs until the first hard freeze. Storm and wind seasons can move either date by a few weeks, so it helps to schedule service before the leaves are down, not after.
What we find on a residential window job depends on the house. The yellow film shows up on the glass and as a paste inside the gutters. The leaves show up as a mat two inches deep in the lower runs, and as grit that washes down the wall after the first rain. Storm seasons leave debris behind that the wind pushed into the gutters, and we photograph it before we clear it so you can see what came down.
Some houses need a third visit, so their cleanings run three times a year instead of two. Heavy tree cover over the roof is the most common reason, because needles and grit keep packing the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass is the second, and those are the spots that come back a day after cleaning, which is mineral, not dirt. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass and more runoff in the gutters, and those houses are often on a shorter schedule.
You will know it is time for clean windows when you see a haze on them that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign means it is time, and a call or a text with a photo is enough for us to say which of the two 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.
Our crew works across Salisbury and the residential properties around it, and we book by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Our window cleaning services come with the gutter work on the same visit, and our washing services cover gutters and exterior glass as one job. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you the number and the earliest date we have on the calendar. Lead time depends on the season, so we give the window we can actually meet, and we do not promise a day the calendar cannot hold. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
The two busy windows of the year are when the leaves come down and the spring film builds, and our calendar fills fastest then. If you want a slot in those weeks, booking early is the only reliable way to get in. Outside those weeks, we can usually fit a visit in on shorter notice. We tell you the truth about the calendar, even when that means a later date than you wanted.
We clean the gutters and the outside of the windows on the same visit, and the crew moves from the roof down, so the runoff from the gutters never reaches the clean glass. Each run is cleared into bags so the crew can remove dirt from the wall as it goes. The same crew handles the gutters and downspouts from the top of the run to the outlet, and the glass from the ground and the pole. Where the house has a lot of runoff or a lot of grime from the road, we plan the route so the glass that needs the most attention gets the cleanest water.
Condos and townhouses come up often, because the shared walls and the runs between units make the order of work matter. The same method works for residential and commercial exteriors, and we can usually work out the access ahead of the visit from a photo. We say so if a unit's gutters or windows need a different plan.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first and the glass last. That order keeps the dirty runoff off the panes we just finished.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will quote the exact figure before we book a date. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside takes the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits. On our jobs, the outside is usually where the haze starts, even when the windows inside look fine from across the room.
Across Maryland, most of our customers book in spring and fall, once the pollen has settled and once the leaves have come down. Booking before the leaves are fully down keeps the gutters from packing with a wet mat. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will find you a date.
No, because the crew does gutters first and glass last. When the runs are cleared and the downspouts flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then does anyone touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior glass visit when they are reachable from outside.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the interior windows and we do not do pressure washing, so if you need interior and exterior glass done together, tell us on the phone and we will plan the rest of the job with you.
No, you do not need to be home for exterior work. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
