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 grit from the roofline never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Maryland, most of the homes we service book in spring and fall, when dust and leaves build up fastest.
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 window and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and multi-story buildings are quoted the same way, while the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Your quote is built from those two inputs, so send a photo of the front of the house by text if you want a firm number before we talk.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a higher count of oversized panes, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Gutters and downspouts get cleared, screens get rinsed and sills get wiped as part of the job, and none of that is billed as an extra. Quotes cover exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is priced separately.
Across Maryland the first question we ask on any residential window job is how many stories and how many windows, because a house that looks small from the curb can carry a lot of glass. Pollen film on the picture windows and paste in the gutters are the usual pair we see on a spring visit, and they often make the difference between a quick pass and a full job. We use cleaning solutions sized for the grime we find, not a single product for every house. Most homes in our service area are on regular cleanings, and the first visit sets the baseline for what your gutters and glass need from then on. Residential and commercial jobs are both quoted the same way, by the building, so you know the price before the crew arrives.
Across Maryland we do not give a client example here, because it would be a single job standing in for the whole state. What we can tell you is how to get the exact number: count the stories, estimate the windows, and text a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to quote the job and for you to compare the number against your budget. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and window count and we will give you the number.

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 jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On our jobs the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the sticky tree residue packed into the gutter elbows, and the fall visit catches the leaf load that builds up on the wet roofline.
Storm and wind seasons move those dates. A strong thunderstorm can knock a fresh load of debris into the gutters, and summer derechos leave branches and grit behind. A gutter that stays full through a wet spell can lead to water damage at the fascia. We set the next visit after the weather, not on a fixed calendar, so the crew arrives when the work is actually there.
Some houses need a third visit, and we can tell which ones after the first look. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film of dust that clings to the frames. Professional window cleaning on these homes goes better on a schedule that keeps up with the source, so we set it that way.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze that only shows up when the sun is low across the glass. Gutters tell you too, when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either, text us a photo and we will tell you what it is and whether the crew can remove dirt on the next visit. Clean glass and clear gutters also keep curb appeal up 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.
Across Maryland our crews handle window and gutter cleaning on residential properties in one visit, and the washing services are booked as a single job. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Once we have that, we schedule service for a date, and we call before we come, so you know the arrival window. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew stays outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of each gutter run and the finished glass before the truck leaves.
Most weeks we can offer a date within the usual lead time, but spring and fall fill faster than the rest of the year. When leaves or spring grime are heavy, our calendar gets tighter, so if you want a particular week, book early. On each visit the crew clears every run and every sill, so a booked slot covers every window on the house and leaves clean windows on all sides, not just the ones that face the street.
Yes. Our washing services cover the gutters first and then the outside of the glass, so you do not need separate window cleaners for each job. The same two people do both in one visit, which is why the bundle costs less than two trips.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and condos are quoted the same way, by phone or text. We do not give a figure in advance because the same house can need more work than it looks.
Usually, yes, because the outside takes the dust, rain grime and sprinkler spots that the windows inside never see. On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime that builds up between cleanings.
Across Maryland our customers book in spring and fall, after the leaf drop. Those are the two windows when the glass and gutters carry the most debris.
No, gutters first, glass last, so runoff from the roofline is cleared before the windows are touched. That order is the reason we do both in the same visit.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are cleaned when they hold dirt, and that is how we remove dirt from the frame. None of that is billed separately.
We clean the exterior of the glass only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing here.
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.
