The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here: gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Maryland, our crew works through the spring and fall calendar, which is when most homeowners want both done.
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, both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our washing services are quoted per house, so window washing and gutter cleaning land on one ticket. Your quote comes from those inputs, not from a fixed rate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: stories and steep roofs, the window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. A residential window on a standard house is quick; residential properties with steep roofs or many stories take longer. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning the windows inside is not in this visit; we do the exterior only.
Getting the exact number is simple. Send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with a figure before anyone books a date. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text that photo. For a house with picture windows, multiple stories or a lot of glass, the photo helps us count faster. Regular cleanings keep the job quick, because grime that builds up for a year takes more work to clear than a yearly visit, and it takes more work to remove dirt from glass that has sat through a wet spring. Most jobs stay within the number we give you, and if something changes on the roof when we are up there, we photograph it and tell you before doing anything else.

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 customers here book both twice a year, in late spring and again in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Maryland the spring visit falls in mid to late May and the fall visit in late November to December, and the dates move with the storm season, which brings summer thunderstorms and derechos. Window and gutter work booked in one visit keeps both on the same calendar.
At the spring visit we find pollen on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters, which is the heaviest seasonal load we see. The fall visit is about the leaf load that comes down all at once and the wet mat it leaves behind. Timonium averages 50.2 inches of rain a year, and May, July and September are the wettest months, so clogged gutters can overflow and lead to water damage at the fascia. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction usually needs a third visit, because the spotting and the debris return faster than the two-visit schedule catches them.
You will know the window needs it when a haze shows up only when the sun is low, and the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain. Cleaning solutions for the glass are not something to buy and try at home, because the spotting usually comes back if the water is not purified. Residential and commercial buildings both follow this rhythm; we also do commercial work on the same schedule. For multi-story buildings the crew uses a boom or scissor lift, and for houses the pole reaches most of the glass from the ground. Condos get the same treatment, with the lift or pole plan set by the number of stories.
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 run window cleaning services for residential properties across the neighborhoods of Timonium, and the nearby areas are linked below. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we give you an estimate. Our lead time is shown on the booking calendar, and we will tell you the earliest date when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, when our calendar fills. If you want a spot in those months, book early. Our crew calls before arriving, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Professional window cleaning and gutter work done together protects the curb appeal of the house, and the one-visit schedule means fewer trips and less mess. Gutters cleared before the glass also keep runoff off the clean panes. We will schedule service for every window on the house, including the sill, so nothing is left behind.
Our window cleaners work from the ground with a pole for most houses, and from a boom or scissor lift for taller buildings. The cleaning services we offer are exterior only, and we will confirm the plan before we start.
Yes. The same crew clears the gutters and downspouts and does the glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house; send a text with the stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure by phone or text.
Usually yes on the outside alone. On a residential window, pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass and do not show from inside.
Most residential properties we visit here book in late spring and late fall; across Maryland the spring visit falls in mid to late May and the fall visit in late November to December.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and flush them, then clean the glass, so runoff does not run back onto it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we remove dirt from the frames too; tracks are not in this visit.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on it. The same exterior-only visit works for condos and houses alike.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
