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 nothing falls back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. The gutters and the glass both build up over the spring and fall, which is when most of our Silver Spring customers book us for the bundle.
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, and window and gutter cleaning done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The method is the same whether the building is residential and commercial or a plain single-family house: we ask for the stories first. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, the window count and any picture windows that need a longer reach, gutters that have not been opened in years or are 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 and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras billed on top. This visit covers the exterior only, and interior and exterior work is always quoted separately. Pollen film comes off in the same pass as the glass, and regular cleanings are quoted the same way as a first visit.
On our Silver Spring jobs, the cases that come in highest are usually the ones where the crew finds more than the customer expected from the ground, such as a clogged downspout feeding a buried drain or a window run that has been missed for several seasons. Getting an exact number is simple: text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with a quote. Our crew cleans the gutters first, so the water and grit from the roof do not run down onto the glass we have yet to do, and we bring the flushing equipment for each downspout to keep the runs from backing up in the next rain. Purified water does most of the work, so the crew rarely needs cleaning solutions on the glass. Pressure washing and interior work are not part of this visit.

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.
On our Silver Spring jobs, most customers book both cleaning services twice a year, and the window cleaners on our crew handle the glass on the same visit. Across Maryland the spring visit lands in mid to late May, after the spring bloom is over, and the fall visit in Silver Spring runs November to early December, once the leaves are down. One crew in one visit makes sense for both, because the timing is the same and professional window cleaning goes faster when the gutters are already clear.
In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the elbows of the downspouts. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in clogged gutters and the grit that runs down the glass after the first rains. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates by a few weeks, and a gutter that backs up in those storms is how water damage usually starts at the eave.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day after cleaning), roof runoff splashing onto the low panes, and a house close to a busy road or construction all tend to need more frequent service. Multi-story buildings often fall into this group too. Regular cleanings catch the haze before it sets. Our crew tells you what your house needs after the first visit.
You know the windows need attention when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the windows inside the house can look clean while the outside is still dirty. You know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain. A regular visit is how we remove dirt before it sets, and it keeps the curb appeal of the house from slipping between visits.
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 cleans residential window and gutter cleaning jobs across the Silver Spring area, and the neighborhoods we have worked in most often are listed on the booking page. Clean windows and clear gutters on a residential property both start with the same estimate. Curb appeal is the usual reason, and residential properties of every size start with the same phone estimate.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We give you the estimate by phone or text. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busiest windows of the year are the spring and fall leaf months, so book early if you want a particular date. We call ahead to confirm the arrival window, and the crew clears gutters and downspouts in one pass.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew checks every window and every gutter run on the outside of the house, and the sill of each window gets wiped as part of the visit. We do not clean windows inside on this visit, so nobody has to open the house up.
Yes, our crew handles both as one set of washing services, the same two people on the same visit, and that professional window cleaning comes with the gutter work on one invoice. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so the grime from the roof does not land on clean windows.
We do not quote a figure off the page. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you can get it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with a photo of the front of the house.
On our Silver Spring jobs the outside carries tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up faster than most people expect, so the outside is usually where the haze comes from, and our crew can remove dirt from it on the same visit. The inside is not part of this visit.
Across Maryland the spring visit lands in mid to late May, and in Silver Spring the fall visit runs November to early December. Our crew times each visit to the leaf and dust months, and regular cleanings keep both on a steady schedule.
No, because we do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. Once the roof and gutters are cleared and the downspouts flushed, any runoff stops dripping down the wall before anyone touches a window.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the visit. Tracks that need more than a wipe are noted on the estimate so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Not on this visit. We do exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of the bundle.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. If you own one of several condos on a shared roof, tell us when you call, because shared gutter runs change the count.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
