Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. On our Towson jobs, most customers book in the spring and again in the fall, which is when the spring grime and the leaves do the most damage.
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 an approximate window count, the bundle of window cleaning services and gutter work in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Your house gets a quote from those inputs before anyone climbs a ladder.
On the day, the crew sees what actually moves the quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, a window count that runs high or oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned 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 and are not billed as extras. Our price covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is never mixed into one quote.
Here is one way we have seen the number move. A customer with a Towson house and a sprinkler line hitting the front glass called after the first quote, and once we walked it the spotting on the lower panes added a mineral step to the window side. Our crew told them before starting and quoted the change in writing. For a clean read on your own number, send a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us how many stories it has, and we will work from there. Window washing services and regular cleanings are priced the same way, by the house, not by the pane.
| 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 |

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 gutters and exterior glass twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, because one crew in one visit keeps both on the same calendar. The same leaf load and spring dust hit residential and commercial buildings alike. Windows inside stay out of the visit, so the outside glass sets the schedule.
What we find in spring is a yellow film on the south-facing glass, and the downspout elbows hold pollen paste that blocks the flow before the first heavy rain. In fall it is the leaf load: a wet mat in the gutter that sags the hangers under weight and freezes into ice in winter. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we watch the weather when we schedule.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the gutters, and clogged gutters overflow in the first heavy rain between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings near a busy road or a construction site collect grime faster than the calendar allows. Cleaning solutions for hard-water staining are a separate step and are quoted when the crew sees the glass.
Windows tell you they need cleaning by a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters tell you by water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain, not dripping from the downspout, and that runoff can lead to water damage on the siding below. If you see either, call us and we will come look.
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 provides cleaning services across Towson, and we book by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and you get a quote the same day we talk. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we tell you the date when you book. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we arrive.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and our schedule fills quickly in both. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early. Our professional window cleaning crews work through the whole calendar, so an off-peak booking usually goes faster than a peak one. Keeping every window and the gutters clean protects curb appeal and keeps water off the siding. When you are ready, schedule service by phone at (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the date in writing.
Yes. Our crew does both for residential properties, and the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
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 quote it from those.
On the outside of a residential window in Towson, dust, rain residue and sprinkler spots build up on the glass, and they are what you see from the street. The inside can be clean and the outside still hazy.
On our Towson jobs, most customers book in spring, once the yellow film has built up, and again in fall after the leaves come down. Those are the two visits that cover the year.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters and downspouts, flush each run until it runs clear, and let the wall drip before anyone touches the glass, so the runoff never lands on clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped to remove dirt as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the exterior side when they are reachable from outside.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing here, and we will tell you if something else needs attention.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. The same order of work applies to condos as to houses: gutters first, glass last.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
