The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it 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 it in the spring and again in the fall, so the crew knows how a season leaves a 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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and professional window cleaning together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate from those details.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized panes, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which cleaning alone does not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the window washing visit and are not billed as extras.
On a recent Takoma Park job the quote was driven by the window count and the tree cover over the back run, which meant the gutters needed two passes before the glass went on. Text a photo of the front of your house and the number of stories, and we can tell you what will drive your quote before the crew is scheduled. Clogged gutters and water damage around a foundation usually show up in the same place, so we look at both when we are up there.
| 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 Takoma Park customers book both cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for this city. In spring the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste, and the south-facing glass on a residential window carries a pollen film that sits on the frame. In fall the leaf load is what we find, wet and matted in the gutters, and the glass collects the dust that rain leaves behind. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we confirm each visit when you schedule service. Houses under heavy tree cover over the roof often need a third visit on top of regular cleanings, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that wets every window on one wall leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or active construction collects a heavier film on the glass.
You will know it is time for clean windows again when you see a haze only in low sun. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running out the downspout. Our crew checks both on the same visit, which also protects curb appeal, and we will tell you what we found in the photos we send afterward.
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 exterior windows across Takoma Park and the homes around it, and the crew goes wherever the job is. Booking window cleaning services starts with a phone call or a text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a written estimate. Lead time depends on the season, since spring and fall fill the calendar first, and we give you the first open date when we quote. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not enter the house.
Our washing services cover gutters and downspouts, exterior glass and frames, and the sills and screens on each window, so the scope of a single visit stays clear from the start. The glass is done with purified water, so the crew uses no cleaning solutions that would leave a film behind. Residential and commercial properties, including multi-story buildings, are scheduled per building, and condos follow the same route. If runoff from a roof has left grime on the lower walls or a walkway, we tell you about it on site, so you can decide whether a second visit is worth it. We aim to remove dirt that the water left behind, not just the dust you can see.
Yes. On our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first, so the glass is washed last and does not get dirty water from above.
We do not give a figure here because the number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate.
Often yes. The outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting that build up in Takoma Park, and it is the part of the glass that the weather hits every day. Cleaning the inside alone does not remove any of that.
Most of our customers here book in spring and again in fall. The spring visit clears the seed and pollen, and the fall visit clears the leaves before the first cold snap.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Dirty water from a gutter run down the wall and across the windows below it, so the glass has to come after the gutters are finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and the tracks are included on the same pass. Picture windows get the same treatment, and none of those are billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing here, and interior and exterior work can be scheduled separately if you ask.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
