The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Maryland our customers book this in spring and fall, which is when our crew runs the full route. For the exact number, call (866) 435-6328 and tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have.
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.
Window washing and gutter cleaning are priced together: we use the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. We count every window on the house, not just the front, so the number matches the work. 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. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized panes, a residential window set high on the wall, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clogged gutters that have sat for a season usually mean more time on the ladder, and the crew notes it before the work starts. Water damage on a fascia board or sill is photographed and reported; it is not part of the cleaning price.
Professional window cleaning on this house is done with a water-fed pole, and the gutter work runs on the ladder first. Clean glass and clear gutters are most of the curb appeal the street sees. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and the window count. Most of the work we see on multi-story buildings and older homes is set by height and access, so a photo of the roofline answers more than a description does. We will tell you what is included and what is not before we book the date.

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 jobs twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On the glass in spring we find pollen film on south-facing windows, and the gutters hold a sticky mat of seed and needles. In fall the leaf load is what we clear, and the wet leaf mat is the reason the downspouts back up in the first hard rain.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits every window on one side of the house leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction collects more dust on the sills than the rest. We will tell you after the first visit which of those applies to your lot.
You will know the windows need cleaning when a haze shows only in low sun, and the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain. Clean windows and clear gutters are the point of every visit. Cleaning services at this schedule keep both in check. To schedule service, call or text us once, and the crew can hold a standing date so you do not have to think about it again.
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 South Laurel, and our washing services are booked by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar, and the two busy windows of the year, when the spring dust and leaves come down, fill the schedule first. Once we have a date we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
We clean the exterior glass of residential properties through our window cleaning services, along with the gutters and downspouts that run beside it, so the wall below each run stays clean too. Water runoff from a clogged run carries grime down the wall and stains the glass and sills first, which is why the two jobs go on one schedule. Our first pass is to remove dirt from the frames and screens, so the pane is not dirtied again on the rinse. We also clean buildings where windows are the main job, including condos and multi-story buildings, on the same route.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, and the gutters come first so the dirty water does not end up on clean glass. You get one invoice and one set of photos.
The number depends on the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and tell us the window count, and we will give you the number on the phone.
Usually the outside carries the most of the dirt in this area. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior, so regular cleanings of the outside keep the haze off the glass. Cleaning the inside alone leaves that haze in place.
Across Maryland, spring visits run mid to late May, and the fall visit in South Laurel usually lands in November to early December. Our crew handles residential and commercial glass on the same route, and those two visits cover the seasonal dust and the leaves.
No, because we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first and give the wall a few minutes to drip before we touch the glass. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass, so nothing soapy runs down onto the sills. That order is the whole reason we do both jobs together.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the same visit, and picture windows get the same pole work, so we tell you before we start if a track needs more time.
Exterior only on this visit. Our price does not cover the interior and exterior of the same window, and we do not do pressure washing. We tell you that before the crew arrives.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
